Looking for an image viewer that lets multiple images on display

Using Ubuntu. Can't find it after at least 10 different programs with no luck.

I'm after an image viewer that can fit more than one image per window with preferably an autoscroll feature. Think pinterest but for local as I have already downloaded the images

​

Thanks a lot

Looking for recommendations for free Linux+ and Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Administration review

We have a couple of guys at our office that need to kind of go though and brush up for certifications ( one being Junior the other being a senior).

​

Does anyone know of the best review materials of these certifications? In the past i used gocertify.com but that seems to be less, um, put together nowadays than it used to be.

Software - mpm: AUR package manager for Debian-based distros

Hi!

Lil' bash noscript I made as a companion to makedeb(more info on that there).
This adds installation and updates for packages directly from the AUR so you don't have to manually get files or anything, should get AUR shiz working (hopefully) fully on Debian :D

Tuna UI project

As of right now xfce doesn’t work well on mobile devices so I decided to start a project that fixes that. Tuna is a ui that turns xfce into a mobile usable DE. Tuna is based on phosh but is way lighter, more customizable and not its own DE it is purely just a gui. If you want to contribute some code for tuna you can chances are I’ll accept them.

Presentation about Linux OS

**I have to do a presentation about Linux**

I don't use Linux a lot and that's why I'm asking what I should write/talk about in the project

I already have some ideas about what I should talk about, but I'm not sure if they are good/interesting

* Linux Family tree
* Linux used in Servers
* Most Popular Linux OS
* Linux used in business (Airplanes)
* History about Linux

If any of these ideas are bad please call them out.

Use available Proton from Steam to run programs through commandline, without starting Steam

Now this is not really groundbreaking, but I just found out about it and want to share. The Proton from Steam can be used to run any application without adding the program to Steam and without even running the main Steam client. Well this can be achieved with WINE itself too, but I don't have WINE installed and this little neat trick would save me from installing WINE. Especially if Proton is already available to me. I literally tested it with a single simple application and have no clue how well it works otherwise.

It's a Zsh noscript, but I think it should work with Bash too. Just change the hashbang from zsh to bash. I don't know how well it works with spaces in paths and such, didn't test much. If you see a bad bug, please report.

# Run Windows programs through Proton from Steams installation, without
# starting the main Steam client.
#
# Create a directory for the Proton environment to run in.  As an example make
# a folder "proton" in your home and point to it in the "env_dir" variable.
# Then look in the "steamapps/common/" folder in your Steam installation for
# available Proton versions to use.  Pick one and point the variable
# "install_dir" to that directory.  Optionally install this noscript in a
# directory that is in your $PATH, so you can run it easily from any place.

# Usage:
#   proton ./program.exe

# Path to the directory where the actual Proton from Steam is installed in.

Distancing myself from Windows 10

Hey Reddit,

For the past few years I’ve deeply interested in cypherpunk. I have moved away from Google and Facebook, and I wanted to move away from Windows 10 for a little while now. I’ve been interested two particular OSs, Pop OS and Manjaro KDE. I’ve read up on them, but the more I looked the more difficult it made my choice. I like the feel and simplicity of Pop OS, but also enjoyed the rolling updates and customizability of Manjaro KDE.

Anyway, I was wondering if there was a distinct downside from choosing Pop OS vs Manjaro, or using the Gnome vs KDE desktop environments.

I was planning on using virtual box to run Windows 10, for the few apps that aren’t available on Linux. I am also a python programmer and enjoy gaming on some night. System is a i9-9900k, 32GB RAM and RTX 3080 if it is of any relevance (given the nvidia drivers).

Thanks,
Noah

**Resident Evil 7 biohazard Gold Edition**
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Release Date: April 1, 2021

Resident Evil® 7 biohazard Gold Edition includes all the contents from the critically acclaimed game including Banned Footage Vol.1, Banned Footage Vol.2, End of Zoe, and Not a Hero, in one ultimate horror package.

Resident Evil 7 biohazard sets a new course for the Resident Evil® series as it leverages its roots and opens the door to a truly terrifying horror experience. Set within a sinister estate in Dulvey, Louisiana, the game takes place after the dramatic events of Resident Evil 6. Main character Ethan Winters has been led to an abandoned location in search of his missing wife, and there he encounters the mysterious Baker family – including Jack and Marguerite, who have seemingly been missing from the area with no recent contact to anyone. 

Players experience the terror directly from the first-person perspective for the first time in the Resident Evil series. Embodying the iconic gameplay elements of exploration and tense atmosphere that first coined “survival horror” some twenty years ago, Resident Evil 7 biohazard delivers a disturbingly realistic experience that will define the next era in horror entertainment.

**Features:**

* Returning to the series’ roots - Resident Evil 7 biohazard delivers an experience reminiscent of the series’ signature gameplay including exploration, puzzles and a realistic tense atmosphere for players to encounter. The classic inventory system returns but with limited space meaning players must choose what they carry with them carefully, making sure they remember to pack their green herbs! 
* Immersive, visceral horror – A new shift for the series to first person view brings the terrifying horror directly up close and personal. 
* Built from the ground up on the RE Engine – Capcom’s development engine works in tandem with industry leading audio and visual technologies to create a disturbingly photorealistic experience for an unprecedented level of immersion.
* Banned Footage Vol. 1 and 2 - This newly unearthed footage exposes further secrets from the dark past of the Baker family.
* End of Zoe – A shocking installment of the Resident Evil 7 biohazard saga where players discover what Zoe’s fate will be.
* Not a Hero – Additional content with a brand new experience taking place after the main story, playing as veteran BSAA soldier Chris Redfield as he faces new threats.

Daily Linux but play as on a Windows

You don't want your main host to be windows but for someone who would want to play the latest games with max settings how would they be able to do it without windows as the main host or dual boot?

Is there even a solution for this? Besides consoles
Would love to hear how you do it.

Software to emulate (parts of) the dial up experience?

Hey everyone.


I was born in the 1990s, and for about the first 15 years of my life, we had dial up internet (nearly right until Compuserve pulled the plug on its dial up service). I've been thinking recently about how much society's (and my own) relationship to technology has changed since then. Going online used to be an intentional, purposeful, and time-limited activity. Does anyone even say "going online" anymore? We're always online, 24/7, on multiple devices! Obviously this brings great benefits, but part of me also yearns for that simpler time when we weren't starting at devices constantly (or if we were, we were less likely to be doomscrolling).

So, I'm wondering if there's some way to partially recreate this experience on Linux. I don't need to literally find some way to simulate the slowness of dial up (as that would ruin all the Zoom meetings I need to attend these days), but specifically, I wonder if there's an easy way to:

* Create a delay when you want to go online (bonus points if it can simulate the dial up sound for nostalgia!)
* Drop your internet connection after a certain period of inactivity, thus making you go online again.
* Allow you to "hang up" (disconnect) when you're finished.

For reference, my dad and I would dial to the internet in those days using Injoy for OS/2 Warp. (He still consistently used OS/2 -- or more accurately eCom Station -- up until a couple years ago when I convinced him to switch to Linux.)

I'm just curious if anyone has recreated these aspects of the experience. I wonder if it would be a way to moderate my unnecessary computer usage and find more tangible and worthwhile things to direct my time and energy towards.

Mistakely deleted a folder with shift+delete

So i wanted to delete two files from my pc and performed shift+delete to those selected files. But later found that another folder in the same directory was also selected and now that folder along with those two files are gone. Is there any way to recover that permanently deleted folder and its contents?

Just full on switched today and WOW this is so much better then windows.

Welp, guess I entered a rabbit hole... nice

So late last month I decided I was gonna start a private Minecraft server on Linux. I had been running one before on windows but... Well, windows 10 doesn’t exactly have the best server performance lol.

Anyway, I had always heard of Linux but never really looked into using it. I did know it was supposed to be way better for game servers though, so I started digging into all the information about it I could find. Fast forward to today and now I have completely deleted windows and installed manjaro on my main pc.

Now as stupid as it’s gonna sound I never dual booted it at all (to be fair I needed to reinstall windows anyway due to my current installations bloat if this didn’t work out). And when I tried running anything in virtual box it had such low fps it wasn’t worth using to try out Linux. So today was my first time actually "using" Desktop Linux (I had been using Ubuntu server since last month). And honestly, after using it for a day I'm probably never going to go back to windows.

Now sure, I had all kinds of issues with my dedicated gpu in my laptop not wanting to work. And then I ended up almost breaking the home directory mounting it to my second hdd drive. But honestly other than that I have loved it so far.

I’m using KDE plasma as my DE atm and the desktop just looks and feels so smooth compared to windows! And as a lifetime windows user, the desktop customization is honestly kinda mind-blowing. I also really like how the file system works. Windows system works "fine" but the file system in Linux just makes more sense to me.

The terminal is another awesome thing. I like how Linux uses text-based commands normally. And package managers? Jeez, those make things way faster and easier.

Also, the community is probably the best I have seen when it comes to tech communities in general. Almost everyone I have come across so far have seemed super helpful and they legitimately want to help you with whatever your problem is.

Now obviously this is only my first day and I still have lots to set up with the pc (namely VMs for my school stuff that’s windows only and for a couple of games I still want to be able to play with gpu pass-through). But honestly, I think this might be one of the best things I’ve done with a pc since upgrading to an ssd.
