Agreed, for this you’ll want something more “Fedora-ish”.

I’ve tried Endeavour (after failing miserably to do stuff in Arch) and ended up breaking it really bad.

I just went back to Fedora, and haven’t looked back (in 3 months, until the distro-hop urge kicks in again 😁)

Dude, we the less technically blessed are very grateful that guys like you are willing to share your magic. Thanks so much.

This is a very effective workaround, and I am absolutely going to take this for a spin. I’m currently using LinkWarden with extensions in my browsers and the app in Android. However, the fact is that most people will want easy integration between devices, and this may turn out to be the one thing that keeps more users from adopting your software.

Having said that, thank you. People like you are the drivers of innovation.

Vanadium is what works best for me in this area.

Last windows I used was 10,and I’ve always found it lacking in the screen capture arena. Full disclosure, I had no idea Flameshot had a windows version.

Gnome has an extension called GSConnect which is their re-implementation of KDE Connect. I have in my tablet and phone, and it’s flawless.

But don’t change yet, give me until the weekend, I’ll spin Fedora with KDE in my laptop, and come back with my experience with FlameShot.

No need to change if that’s what you like and it ends up working.

Flameshot does require some tweaking to work anyway, so I’ll need check if it’s the same in KDE.

I honestly haven’t tried on KDE, but I can give it a shot this coming weekend and report back. I’m up for a distro hopping round anyway.

But in Gnome, dual screens, it works like a charm, also on Wayland.

Yeah, but this is about self hosting and it’s costs, so the comparison is relevant.

FlameShot. In my opinion, the best and most versatile screen capture app for Linux distros, especially if you use Gnome as your DE.

Absolutely. Maybe I’m a bit biased. I can’t stick to anything immutable (other than my Steam Deck, and believe me, I’ve tried many times), and always come back to distros I can have absolute control over.

However, I have all my employees running Silverblue (mostly because none of them even know what CLI means 🤣).

I like you. Your brain works in the right frequencies.

Chances are that, if you do break something, it’ll be on the Windows side.

Bazzite is very solid for new users as it’s very convoluted to access and modify anything system related.

Having said that, if you have any intention to learn how to use Linux distros, and eventually remove Microsoft from your life, immutable distros like Bazzite will limit you dramatically, so I suggest you start with a regular “mutable” distro. Now, if your intention is just to have something that works, scape Windows every now and then, and come back to Windows, it’s hard to beat an immutable distro.

My name is none of your business, and I approve this suggestion.

For most of us using Linux distros for years, we already have a preferred distro that is highly unlikely to be Ubuntu or even Debian based, but for first-timers, I honestly believe Mint is the way to go. But seeing how mint has been a flop for you (as another poster said, it’d be great to know what went wrong) an immutable distro (like Bazzite) would fit your current needs better, but these distros are not the best way to start learning about Linux and eventually migrate from Windows entirely.

I just told my wife she’s going to have to share now🤣

You give the info, and then a link to the source? There’s still hope for humanity 😉

I love how this went from “.deb” to “Mullvad VPN repo configuration” 🤣

I’m already married, but, would you marry me? I’m guessing you’re probably very useful to have around.

For Android, Davx5 plus JTX board, and you’re set. Just use the contacts, calendar, tasks and journals apps you feel comfortable with. I use Etar calendar, for example.

Any distros with Plasma or Cinnamon as it’s DE will do the trick. Linux Mint is a good starting choice.
