Thanks to you I realized, Clipboard Indicator can do that too. So now I bound Super+V to show the clipboard, and I can search it with the keyboard, select entries, etc.

0·1 year agoKDE Plasma user of 4 years here, I am currently giving GNOME a try with Fedora Workstation. Reading through here, I’m going to try a few new extensions, thanks a lot :)
My currently used extensions are:
- AATWS (advanced alt-tab window switcher)
- Clipboard Indicator
- Vitals (system resource usage)
- AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support
- Caffeine
- Launch New Instance
- No overview at start-up
- Places Status Indicator
- Workspace Indicator
There’s a feature I’m really missing though. On KDE Plasma 5 the clipboard manager opened a window right below your mouse on pressing Super+V. This window showed all the clipboard entries, was text-searchable and I could navigate and use/enter clipboard entries with my keyboard. Does anybody know of something like this for GNOME?
1·1 year agoUsing something arch-based but not arch while also using the AUR feels like opening the door to problems. The AUR is specifically made with arch linux in mind and often package versions don’t align between arch and arch-based distros.
Also, I lost trust in Manjaro. They accidently let their SSL cert expire multiple times and told their users to revert system time to have a temporary fix. They also shipped an unstable asahi-kernel to their users without talking to the asahi devs beforehand, as well as accidentally DDoS-ing the AUR with a bug in a pamac version (as far as I know that happened twice). It just feels like their management board has / had some problems.
These may have all been issues of the past, but with the massive amount of distributions out there, I’d probably walk a lot of different roads before ever touching Manjaro again.
Started testing Linux OS around 2003. Never really commited, until late 2020, where I removed Windows and switch to Arch Linux full-time.
Now, after 4 years of Arch, I switched to Fedora Workstation. I kinda miss the Arch repos and the AUR, but Fedora is doing a lot of work that I would have had to do myself on Arch.
Well, you gotta sacrifice something to gain something. Equivalent exchange and stuff.
Seeing this CD reminded me of Knoppix. I tested that in school when I was 16 or 17.
Your picture really makes me feel old. Kernel 2.0? KDE 1.0? GIMP 1? Feels so far away, it must have been a different life.
1·1 year agoWell the plan worked too well, and I now have no discernible drives
Never used Bazzite, but to me that sounds like one of the following possibilities
- the drives have been automounted and you do not know where
- Bazzite uses LVM to create a “pool of storage” to be used instead of using drives seperately
Disks have been automounted
You can check if this is the case by opening a terminal and typing in
lsblk. This command lists all drives and the folder they have been mounted to.Sample output from my pc:
❯ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS zram0 251:0 0 8G 0 disk [SWAP] nvme0n1 259:0 0 931,5G 0 disk ├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 600M 0 part /boot/efi ├─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 1G 0 part /boot └─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 929,9G 0 part /home / nvme1n1 259:4 0 465,8G 0 diskAs you can see, this means I have 1 zram disk as swap space, 1 M.2 NVME disk (
nvme0n1) with 931GB (1TB) split into 3 partitions (mounted on/boot/efi,/boot,/homeand/) and one unused M.2 NVME disk (nvme1n1) with 465GB (500GB).As @dustyData@lemmy.world in his answer said, Bazzite might mount drives somewhere in
/var/mnt.Bazzite uses LVM
LVM (Logical Volume Manager) is used to create a “storage pool” out of multiple disks, even if they have different sizes etc. If Bazzite used LVM to “fuse” your disks, you will not be able to use them seperately.
You can check if LVM was used by opening a terminal and executing the following commands:
sudo pvdisplay sudo lvdisplayThese commands show the physical volumes (
pvdisplay) known to LVM and the logical volumes (lvdisplay) managed by LVM. If there’s no output it means that Bazzite did not use LVM.is it possible to skip (only) that somehow and auto log in?
Using Fedora Workstation 42 with GNOME 48 I can enable autologin in the system settings app. You should be able to find it under system -> users
Back when I was using Arch Linux and still did a lot of desktop-experimenting, I tried
linux-zenout of curiosity.I did not do any benchmarks, as I wanted to know if I can notice anything. I did not feel any difference. Maybe it was because I did not play the most pc-stressing games, maybe there was no difference because my hardware was relatively new, maybe it was because most of my games were more GPU-limited then CPU-limited, I do not know. All I can say is, there was no difference for me to notice in my gaming sessions, so I switched back to the default kernel.
Currently using Fedora Workstation 42 and
linux 6.14.5, still happy with default kernel.
Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but why not update via stamdeck UI? You can change the “stable” branch in your steamos update settings page to “beta” or “preview”.
- stable - recommended
- beta - test for new steam updates
- preview - test for steam updates + OS updates
The first one I saw was Debian 3.1 (Sarge). I was in school and our objective this time was installing debian + getting a working Xorg session. Never heard of Linux before, didn’t get a working Xorg session, but wow man, there’s something other than Windows and MacOS. I couldn’t have imagined.
The first one I actually used on a desktop (laptop for school, in that case) was Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake).
I’ve tried oh so many different linux distributions over the years, I probably forgot most of them. Maybe some don’t even exist anymore. My goal was always Arch Linux, having seen it on a schoolmates laptop. I really fell for the “here’s a pretty minimum base, do whatever” thing.
In the end, I exclusively used Arch from 2020 until this year. Actually using Arch and reading the ArchWiki were probably what taught me most of what I know about linux in general and how things work.
I’ve been searching for a less DIY-solution which is still up-to-date (especially with kernels and mesa) and I landed on Fedora Workstation, which is what I’m currently using on my work latpop and desktop at home. I do miss some things from Arch, but Fedora has been pretty good to me and I, for the meantime, intend to stay here.
1·1 year agoOh, well. I’ll see how it is when we’ll play barony. It’s not like this game is the only choice, so we can always switch.
Thanks for the heads-up!
I don’t plan on playing any of these games over any kind of network anyway. I’m all for couch coop / pvp, it just hits differently :)
Good to know, thank you!
We always play on someones TV anyway. These are typically 46" ore bigger and have at least FullHD resolution. Would this be manageable?
You’re welcome, I’m glad to spread the old-school pre-internet local couch coop fun :)
My personal favourites are
MageQuit
This is the most addicting of all the played games. I bought this with a “fun little magic-based pvp-only game for now and then” mindest. I thought “super smash brothers but magic”. I started playing it with my friend on his TV “just for an hour” and suddenly, it was dark outside and time to go home.
The next meeting we planned on playing MageQuit for a round or two and then move on to one of the other, yet unplayed, games. The moving on part never happened, MageQuit was just too much fun.
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
This is the game for the whole family. You (up to 4 players) are in a spaceship. The spaceship has different buttons and levers in different places to control different things like acceleration, changing direction, aiming / firing weapon, directing partial shield or countermeasure etc. and you need to rescue your bunny-friends.
They are scattered around the levels, sometimes hidden, sometimes locked up, sometimes guarded etc and you need to work together with your teammates to direct the spaceship. You get quite a few different weapons and shields / countermeasures, which can also be combined, you upgrades for the ship, can buy different ships etc.
It looks and sounds adorable, but if you don’t work together, it’s way harder then it looks. This is a game with a campaign and story.
Regular Human Basketball
Think basketball, but stupid and fun. The regular humans are actually motionless robots which need to be moved by using switches and levers inside it, which is what your job is. You even have a jet-boost at some parts of your regular-human body. We laughed our asses off.
It is similar to Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime in the sense that, you need to work together to control a bigger machine. This is just a pvp only game, no story or campaign.
Ultimate Chicken Horse
Race each other to the finish of an obstacle course. After each round, everyone picks a new obstacle to place and expands the course. Seldomly have I ever seen such bullshittery as my friends and me created in this game and then had to go through.
I always search steam sales for local multiplayer games. I have not tested all of these yet, so I’m going to categorize them here.

MageQuit was way more hilarious than I initially thought. I went to a friend to play another 2 or 3 games over the span of 6 to 8 hours. We started with MageQuit and suddenly, it was 8pm. We also played MageQuit and nothing else the next time we met.
It’s going to be very funny when we finally all gather and play a free-for-all 6 player match.
Every cent was well spent on this one.
I only use my steam deck for portable, local multiplayer games. Well, except for when I play Pokemon Red / Blue / Yellow with EmuDeck.
I mostly find new titles via filtering by local multiplayer tags and buying stuff that’s on sale and looks interesting. If it looks good but isn’t on sale, I throw it on my wishlist-pile. There’s plenty of fun stuff for couch multiplayer sessions!
The last time, we played
All time favourites
- Super Smash Brothers 64 / Brawl / Ultimate
- MageQuit
- Ultimate Chicken Horse
- SpeedRunners
Thanks for your input, but it seems the Pano gnome extensions page hasn’t been updated for ages. I’m running GNOME 48 and the extension page shows GNOME 45 as the latest supported version.
Doesn’t matter, I realized Clipboard Indicator can be called by a key combination, it just won’t float in the middle or below my mouse cursor. I guess without creating my own, I’m not gonna get it any better :)
