Is there any application / noscript to automatically move files?

I download a lot of things (images, videos, files) from the web. I'd like to find a way to keep my downloads folder organized. A program that looks at the file type, and moves it to a selected folder, would be the perfect solution.

I've been searching in the Software Center, didn't find anythinh.

I use Manjaro with KDE desktop.

Thanks!

Kernel based User Isolation vs Container/Chroot

I have heard quite some times of breaking out of containers and chroots and fucking up cgroups and namespaces.

What I have never heard of yet is breaking out of user isolation (two separate user accounts on the same installation), it seems like its impossible to access user A files as user B if permissions have been set properly.

I want to know which one is the most secure ie least likely to have bugs and most likely to protect applications from reading files it has no permissions to read.

Multiplayer survival game Rust is offering refunds for Linux users

They're going to stop shipping the linux client as well. [Here is a good writeup about it](https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/08/17/rust-will-offer-refunds-as-they-stop-shipping-linux-client/) but they've pretty much said none of the developers used linux outside of developing the game client, Unity doesn't support building the anticheating software for linux, but does for Windows and OSX, etc. They knew they'd lose more money than they made off linux, but it sounds like it's become way too much of a hassle for them and they're at a crossroads.

They also gave the number of users who have played in the last 30 days by OS:

Windows 227,842
MacOS 2,414
Linux 217

But, they've gone even further and made the statement "Don't make Linux versions of any future games because we can't/won't properly support it"

A redshift noscript I wrote

I recently installed redshift (a program that changes screen color temperature). I wanted to create a custom noscript to use it.

\[Here\]([https://github.com/BigB00st/Dotfiles/blob/master/.noscripts/redshift/redshift-enable.sh](https://github.com/BigB00st/Dotfiles/blob/master/.noscripts/redshift/redshift-enable.sh)) it is.

I thought that some of you might find it useful. Feedback is appreciated.

Librem5 and pinephone

I'm bored to see how much hate there are around librem VS pinephone, this topic is about librem5 AND pinephone

Everyone should respect both project, because like it or not they are trying to do what someone else failed, so THANK YOU PURISM AND PINE64 to be brave and try to give a mobile gnu/linux experience. All haters should just shame on them because there is no win to put sh\*t on this projects, and i hope both project will succeed because they deserve it, and WE as gnu/linux community deserve to have a choice outside apple/google duopoly.

I can't ignore there are a lot more complain on librem5 than pinephone, i want to underline that purism is doing a lot of work on software, and they are upstreaming what THEY ARE DOING, for the good of the community, and for the good of pinephone too, so it's obvious the price is higher, more devs are working on software and firmware, and this company spend money to develop things that will share with entire community, and this is not an obvious choice.

So when someone write about "ridicoulus" price of librem5, just think you are not just paying for a smartphone, but you are paying to make gnu/linux mobile true.

Then buy pinephone ore librem5, buy what it feels more confortable to you and to your pocket, or buy an apple or android phone if you prefear, but please respect this project because they value a lot for people who care about freedom and diversity.

At the end, i whould like to suggest to everyone who can afford the price and who care about gni/linux to buy a librem5 because their work are upstreamed, and every money they raise is something we will get back as software code and used for pinephone too

How to install Touchscreen Driver on Laptop/Tablet (Tutorial)

**Introduction:** Hello, my name is Eitan. I am new to linux but i am learning rapidly.I want to contribute to the community by writing a tutorials for things that might sound easy and unnecessary but for some it might help a lot. if you see that i wrote something wrong please be sure that your write in the comments so i will fix myself.

(Tested on Voyo Vbook A1 with Ubuntu 18.04.3)

Step 1 checking if the firmware is already available: Go to Terminal and login as root Sudo su
and check for firmware modprobe silead
if nothing happened you don't have the driver, if it shows you the driver is available skip Step 2.

Step 2 Installing the firmware: In Terminal write dmesg
and than go to Silead to check what is the driver's name (most of the time it's mssl1680), Now go to this [Git](https://github.com/onitake/gsl-firmware) and look for your Laptop/Tablet and click on the website in the firmware column, than download the firmware (Example (FileName).fw) and put it in /lib/firmware/silead (if the folder silead don't exist than create it. you may need sudo privileges to put the file there) and rename the file as was shown in Dmesg (usually mssl1680.fw).

Step 3 Downloading xinput input evdev and calibrator:

sudo apt-get install xinput-calibrator sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evdev

(if evdev doesn't work download from [here](https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/download))

Step 4: Reboot

Step 5: In terminal write xinput-calibrator
and click on the dots as it asks you. make sure the folder

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

is created (create it if not) and add the file

99-calibration.conf

and write the results of the calibrator. For example:

Section "InputClass" Identifier "calibration" MatchProduct "silead_ts" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event14" Option "MinX" "31405" Option "MaxX" "-20" Option "MinY" "23984" Option "MaxY" "76" Option "SwapXY" "0" # unless it was already set to 1 Option "InvertX" "0" # unless it was already set Option "InvertY" "0" # unless it was already set EndSection

Step 6: Reboot

Step 7 Finding the matrix of your Screen: In terminal write

xinput list-props silead_ts

and you will see libinput calibration martix (don't mistake for the same one with default in the end)

Step 8: Add the following line in

/etc/X11/xinit/xinputrc

xinput --set-prop 10 "libinput Calibration Matrix" (with your paramaters)
for example

xinput --set-prop 10 "libinput Calibration Matrix" -2.0882497963235185, 0.0, 1.001125569612532, 0.0, -2.6999736330699893, 1.006245056200623, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0,

Step 9: Reboot
Step 10: Congratulations Enjoy

Simple vid in response to a prior post (which was sadly removed). I do feel like there are other things to be addressed in the transition for users of various capabilities and niches. Thoughts or additional feedback?
