Linux alternatives to windows apps

I am trying to slowly switch over to linux (fedora with kde). There are quite a few apps that have become part of my daily usage in the background. I was wondering what are the alternatives I can use on linux fedora-kde.

\- EqualizerAPO: I have a system-wide EQ that has a very custom and precise profiles that are unique for each of my output devices. Speakers are unbarable without eq, IEMs have a baseboost and a channel balance, etc. I also just like to play around with the EQ. Again, system-wide is important to me.

\- rawAccel: I have slight wrist problem, so I permanently have a 5 degree rotation on my mouse. I also have a specific mouse sensitivity. I also like that I can set a unique compensation on my different mice (laptop, different mice for on-the-go), but that part is not essential for me.

\- X-Mouse Button Control: I just use this to map the 2 buttons on the side of my mouse to horizontal scrolling.

\- Wallpaper Engine: I just really like my wallpaper changing automatically every so often and seeing some movement.

\- PowerToys-FancyWindows: I have quite a few different positions I can snap windows to using win+arrows.

\- Outlook: I know there is a solution, I just don't know it yet. I have a university email I need to keep an eye on. I know I should use wine or something like that?

\- Google Drive: I have a google drive that is synced with my university folder that is stored locally, just as a backup and for mobile access.

Looking for Recommendations

Hey all! Looking to pick up a good laptop for Linux from Best Buy currently. I have a trade in credit available for around 800 and looking to use it there. Any ideas are great! Thanks in advance.

I'm a software developer by trade so that might be relevant.

Built a little CLI tool to track my work sessions, figured I’d share it

I'm a backend engineer and always feel like I'm actively trying to remember what I did the previous day during my standup meeting. I used to take physical notes, but thought I'd built a tiny CLI tool for this instead. Called it `timr` and it helps me track start/stop sessions and generate ai summaries for them.

It’s just a single binary, no server or account needed. You can log sessions, filter them by category, and even generate an OpenAI-powered standup summary that gets copied to your clipboard. I made the whole project open-source.

I mainly made it for myself, but if you’re into terminal workflows or just want something lightweight to track your time without a bunch of overhead, it might be useful to you too. Repo’s here: https://github.com/miguejarias/timr

Opensource AMD drivers lifespan

Hello guys I have recently made the switch from Nvidia to AMD GPU. My question is can I still use this driver when AMD itself quit support for RX580?

When I used Nvidia in the past (proprietary drivers) sometimes I couldn't upgrade to a new release of for example Linux Mint due to newer kernel that didnt support older Nvidia drivers. Right now I use Fedora Silverblue and it s working great. No need to load kernel modules anymore!

I like to use my tech for as long as possible (that's the main reason I switched to Linux, besides privacy and security) so my question is will the opensource AMD GPU drivers get support from the community?

Thanks

A possible issue with Kde or Kubuntu.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/s/4K8WWyJuNe

I made a hasty critism of Proton some days back. But it seems like most of the problems were from KDE/Kubuntu. I had switched to Linux Mint and tested the same games. They work right out of the box. I was reluctant to use Mint cause I was really fascinated by Kde, especially it's connect app and deep customisation. But it seems like Kubuntu has issues to be fixed. I admittedly didn't like the default aesthetics of Mint Cinnamon, now I'm trying out Mint.

Just wanted to clarify that my previous issues were Kubuntu/KDE related. Thank you.

Which CLI tools help you most to interact with web applications?

I see many applications that are outside of the Linux machines can be handled well in a terminal most of the time rather than on browser. Do you use any such? Which were the most helpful?
I have come across these
1. WordPress CLI
2. Gcloud CLI
3. Redis CLI
5. GitHub CLI

What to choose for my new server (Distribution & Drive management)

Hi everyone,

I have and old server that I use as NAS and some minor stuff. Until now it was enough, but I would like to do more with my server (de-googlize, public mirror for OSS project, more home automation, ...).

I'm Linux user since 2005 on server, and 2010 on desktop (work & personnal). I have some habits, and I thinks it's time to some experiment, but with stability.

So I don't want test the totaly brand new software or FS or whatever. But perhaps what I tend to choose as default the last 15 years can be challenged.

# 1. Context

# 1.1. Hardware

So, let's start with the hardware part :

* 1x [CWWK NAS motherboard with i3 N355](https://cwwk.net/products/cwwk-eight-slot-10g-nas-motherboard-n150-n305-n355-dual-2-5g-network-card-10g-10g-port-single-ddr5-dual-nvme-nas-motherboard)
* 1x 32 Go DDR5 4800 SODIMM
* 2x NVME 2To
* 3x SSD SATA 1To
* 1x HDD SATA 8To
* 2x HDD SATA 12To

I have 8 Gbps symetric Internet connexion and a 10 Gbps switch + some computer with 2.5 Gbps (so having a 10Gbps connexion on NAS is important).

# 1.2. What I plan to do

* NAS : Having an SMB / NFS / SSHFS capabilities, users managements, quotas, ...
* Home Assistant
* Public mirror for Archlinux (+ perhaps other OSS project)
* External sync for my personnal files (Computer -> NAS -> Some external endpoint)
* De-googlize : (Next|Own)Cloud, OnlyOffice, Syncthing, ...
* Test stuff : I want to be able to launch containers and test tool or software

# 2. Discussion topics

# 2.1. Distribution

I use Archlinux for my Desktop and my Server for the moment. For this new server, I will certainly **not** go with Arch again. I see 2 options :

* Plain old Debian and doing stuff by hand (with perhaps little automation with Ansible/Puppet)
* Using Proxmox VE

I tend to prefere the second option, but I have read that LXC container is not very good in Proxmox. Do I need to create VM to run my container, and use Portainer for example, or the support is OK and I can create container to run some application or test others ?

# 2.2. Drive management

That the biggest point for me !

I have my habits with LVM + Ext4, it fits majority of my need :

* Able to add disk and migrate data
* Raid 1 for the HDD pool (it's where I store backups)
* Easy partitions management (add, remove, resize)

But I know that ZFS or Btrfs have evolve since my first setup \~15 y ago. And now perhaps I should give a try to other setup.

What is the best fit for my needs ?

Thanks for reading me, if you have any other suggestions, topics or advices, feel free to share.
