Hi Beehaw! I’ve finally made the switch to Linux, I’m using Nobara OS based on Fedora. It’s been very nice so far (I had tried to go with Arch but Nvidia drivers ehhh). I’m running into issues remapping controls to my Xbox Adaptive Controller. Was hoping someone here might have some input....

I just tried osmand. It took forever to locate me and then the map would freeze for minutes, then the blue arrow would finally jump to my location. It seems useless for real time navigation, is that normal? Google maps works fine on the phone (Android) so it’s not the hardware. Is there maybe some setting I haven’t found?...

I’m setting up a laptop with Mint (Cinnamon) for a person who needs text-to-speech software. It seems like most of the nice-sounding ones are proprietary. Any recommendations for FOSS alternatives? And any ideas why this is an underdeveloped area for open source?

I’m looking for a FOSS image viewer on Linux that remembers the last visited image or lets me set a bookmark of some sort. Pix for example has the preference “Go to last visited location” - but that is just the folder, not the image itself. But I have folders with lots and lots of images that I work through day by day and...

Why are FOSS platforms like Matrix having such a hard time getting users to migrate from Discord? Because of PluralKit.

I know this might be a bit too specific, but I’ll ask anyway....

are there any alternatives to zoom that have alot of features out of the box like live streaming to youtube support plus doesnt make you pay money to get extra features?

I made a blog post discussing my biggest issues with Lemmy and why I am kind of done with it as a software.

I’m looking for an image viewer on windows that also has some simple editing tools. I’ve been using nomacs for quite a while, which is exactly that, but editing images with this software can get pretty finicky, so I’m looking for an alternative....

Something like Canva that’s foss and on android

I have Kodi installed now, I will probably test OSMC later today, are there any other programs similar to them that I could test?...

Is there a friendly alternative to VMWare/Virtualbox? I would move back to Virtualbox, but it’s now owned by oracle

Windows Movie Maker used to be good enough, but for a while now it won't load mp4's anymore and I can't be bothered to try and fix it, and I'm really hating the online editors I've tried, so it's time to download some software!...

Waterfox is integrating Tree-Style Tabs as a vertical tabs solution, complete with image tab previews and optimizations for tabs outside the scrolling.

I’m making this request on behalf of a community I’m part of, which has some fairly specific requirements that we’re struggling to fill. Basically, we’re an art and writing group that makes extensive use of building our own old-school webpages (almost exclusively HTML, some of us use some CSS as well). This group has...

Chances are you’ve never heard of Igalia, the open source consultancy. Yet you’re almost certainly using something that Igalia helped build.

Finally, we can have usernames in Signal instead of giving our phone number to everybody.
