Any virtual keyboard / on-screen keyboard recommendations for Gnome (Wayland) users? The default one doesn't support X11/XWayland apps, which unfortunately is most of them...

Pantherina,

Yes poorly. The input method protocol was done by Purism (which says something as that company seems dead or whatever) and then basically untouched.

Enterprise Linux on desktop?

Anyone using enterprise Linux on their desktop such as RHEL, Alma, Rocky, CentOS etc.?

I'm curious if it's easy to use for this purpose or if the older packages are a pain.

@linux

Pantherina,

I looked at RHEL pricing but damn hell no.

The rest is even more outdated than Debian, so just use Debian.

In general stable Desktops are not enjoyable. You will basically not want to read Linux News anymore as you wont be getting any of that.

Its good for enterprises, where policies dont need to change etc. Also in combination with Flatpak and EPEL it may work somehow, but its just worse than using some normal Distro I heard.

Pantherina,

Interesting, didnt know that.

Snaps are only somewhat secure on Ubuntu, at least to my state of knowledge. Only on Ubuntu do they have the Apparmor profiles to isolate apps.

I think Fedora Atomic is just better for most cases. KDE got their stuff together mostly (I will not want to use a stable version until 6.3 or something) and the rest of Fedora never breaks for me.

Apparently my love language is installing @linux on the laptops of people I really care about.

Pantherina,

Cool, agree on Fedora Atomic but you cant dualboot which is a huge problem for many.

A person I know has an education in basically Adobe software. Completely insane but this is a thing.

Pantherina,

Its way worse than Libreoffice tbh. They removed random stuff like pagination.

Pantherina,

If you use modern and painless distro.models. I had a Fedora Atomic bug and the alternative was literally just rebasing to the same OS but automatically the same version and it worked.

Pantherina,

How does this work?? This is a mastodon post but it appears on Lemmy?

Pantherina,

Supercool

Pantherina,

Yes, the question was how specifically this worked, think I have understood
