ewertonurias brent advantages over gnome-screenshot? I don't know about gnome-screenshot yet, so I can't say what the advantages are. I've always used spectacle and met flameshot yesterday, so it's new to me. I support forums in my country, and using spectacle for screenshots, it's always been necessary to use inkscape for markup and write annotations over the images, and flameshot gives me everything I need. Take a look:
Girtablulu ewertonurias erm spectacle can do this as well π https://pointieststick.com/2020/09/04/this-week-in-kde-annotations-in-spectacle/
brent Girtablulu Installing this now. If spectacle can do what @ewertonurias 's mini-tutorial does, then I am installing it now. I has no Baloo, so I will be safeπ.
[deleted] brent hey brent it is easy to set up a vm using gnome boxes, no fuss at all. simply install it, open it and select your preferred iso to test. thats all π i tried virtualbox only once and one look at it i understood that it was aimed for the technical users . but gnome boxes is a good start.
brent It still hasn't been established that spectacle or flameshotcan take a screen shot of a mouse-dependent window like raven window or alert queue. Does anyone know if these apps can do it? Thanks.
WetGeek brent Does anyone know if these apps can do it? Raven window opened, and captured by Spectacle.
brent WetGeek took me a while. I put on a delay. set it to 'window under mouse'----and this came out. I have to get used to the verbage. This is a COOL tool. I was annotating a screen shot. That's a first for me. Now I have to pick a screen recorder (this app prefers three it looks like/2 are in repo) to install to integrate into app. This opens up doors of efficiency in communication for sure. You answered my question, kind sir. Had to set it up just right but it worked!
brent WetGeek spectacle is. I mimicked what you did (the picture) and have been playing with it since @algent mentioned it above. i love it.
brent VaSAMiAn man I used to love opera back in the day. innovators of cool features. many browsers today owe them a debt. what does it say that among the first things a linux user installs is a good firewall? (rhetorical question only)
brent elfprince security conscious at the very least--when I finally understood what the ufw default settings (all or nothing) actually did it was enormous peace of mind. set it and forget it. It's not the only piece of the security puzzle but now I realize there was no security at all like this on another platform we all used too long..
elfprince brent On Linux there is much less risk of attacks from internet, compared to ms w systems. I just like to have an additional peace of mind by also using ufw. π
joluveba I actually (re)installed Solus in my desktop a few days ago, so this list is real π 1 ufw and gufw 2 Brave 3 Korla, Papirus and La Capitaine icons (eye candy) 4 VLC 5 Grub customizer And if it's a laptop, tlp is a top priority
brent joluveba 3 Korla, Papirus and La Capitaine icons (eye candy) jppelt I really like Korla. Have to check out La Capitaine. A day afer dialing in I install from repo all icon/widget packages so I can...wait for it...mix and match like a child! La Capitaine was always one of those "unusable" packages since it left some sys icons/widgets empty or weird. Now I love me some Korla all day long like many. A user named @WetGeek installed Korla recently and it La Capitaine'd him ( I made that term upπ). Meaning? I don't know. Not all package combos are compatible I supposes
WetGeek First installs: Vivaldi VirtualBox VLC Micro (best editor for the terminal) restic (backup) First things to configure/use: Thunderbird Vivaldi /etc/fstab (access to nfs shares) .bashrc (install my macros) restic/backups
brent WetGeek yeah I think first 5 simplistic in context...I didn't even think about the time configuring the native stuff, which you pointed out, but it's all pretty concurrent in that two hour flurry until Solus is seaworthy (in the eyes of the user). WOW Micro is one I never tried or heard of. I like vlc for a few things but that broken car on side of rode cone icon always has such a negative connotation for me! Caution it screams. Maybe they need a parakeet mascot instead?
WetGeek brent A user named @WetGeek installed Korla recently Hmmm ... don't remember that. What does it do, and did I like it? EDIT: Oh, was that the theme that left a lot of icons as empty white rectangles? I didn't think of it at first, because it was on my computer less than 5 minutes. Not long enough to remember the name, I guess.
joluveba brent Hmm, how strange. I had that problem with other icon sets (like Numix), but never with Korla or La Capitaine. No missing icons. By the way, this is in KDE Plasma, I don't know if that problem exists in other desktops. I hate it when there are missing icons.
