A wrap - 2 boiled eggs, beans, shredded cheese, dill pickle, salad dressing, and pepper. After that high protein greek yogurt with creatine and ground flax.

I'm able to forget most things my dad says ... he has an opinion of everything and will babble for 20 minutes about stuff no one else in the house cares about.

Also, I can picture a blueprint in 3d.

It's possible to watch Youtube if you don't care about commenting, adult, or members only videos.

On Linux, I use Freetube. On Android, PipePipe.

I'm not surprised by this at all.

Every year there is an honesty test in Canada. Some group, I don't recall who, place wallets in random spots across the country. Most are returned.

ProtonVPN - Any plans of creating a .rpm app? (sh.itjust.works)
 

The CLI app is barebones. I know this is said a lot about Proton services (at least on Reddit) but it's true on Linux. No split tunnel, app shuts down when I turn off my display, and the connection is very unstable.

Anyone else having sync issues on Android? Sync will happen if I go into settings and hit "Force synchronization".

Hey everyone.

I'm new to Linux and Fedora Workstation is my first distro. I like it but feel it needs a little tweaking. The screenshot is my desktop as I type this.

I installed "Extension Manager" and the following extensions - "Dash to Dock" and "System Monitor"

  1. Dash to Dock converts the Dash to a Dock with auto hide capability as well as being able to move the dock and change the icon sizes. Not necessary but it is annoying after a while moving the mouse to the dash, expecting it to popup and it doesn't. 'Oh right, now I have to hit that key'
  2. "System Monitor" shows the real time CPU load, memory, swap, upload, and download. I installed this to see how this used laptop, Levono T470s, handles Linux. So far, it's awesome.

Extension Manager also allows me to tweak the built-in system extensions.

  1. "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support" (that's a mouthful). This one shows minimized app in the top bar.
  2. "Window List" is the bottom bar showing the currently open app.

There are pages full of extensions but I'm happy with what I installed.

"GNOME Tweaks" is another app I'm using. With this I was able to add Maximize and Minimize buttons to any open window (there are many other options) as well as pick a few apps to start with system boot. Normally, ProtonVPN has to be started with a terminal command at each system boot. GT does it for me.

Edit: I recently switched from a Samsung S6 Lite Android tablet with a Logitech keyboard and mouse to a used laptop running Linux.
