I use syncthing all over the place for this sort of thing. I have some sync directories that are multi way synced across multiple devices, others that are one-way drop targets to a specific device, others that are for operations like backing up photos. It’s quite excellent with a good sync algorithm that rarely results in conflicts.

Another suggestion for Darktable. It handles this case of mixed types transparently. It’s a big thing to learn, but extremely powerful and capable, and you don’t have to know all the corners of it, just enough for your workflow.

It is a bit confusing and hard to untangle. There is CPU and GPU transcoding. From my experience (running Plex on Linux for 7 or 8 years) I can tell you CPU transcoding does not work with Ryzen, GPU transcoding does work with Nvidia. That’s all I can tell you though, because that’s the hardware I have.

FreeCAD. It’s fantastic but takes some getting used to. I recommend the Ondsel fork - it’s still free and open source except for the cloud storage which you can ignore. Ondsel includes some newer features and some interface changes.

When I’m forced to, and not before then. X works perfectly well so there’s no reason for me to switch to something else with less features.

Reboot to the snapshot you took of the root fs before starting the update, then just rerun the upgrade. If you are using btrfs (or ZFS) make use of its features so you never have this sort of problem.

Just don’t open the drawer if you don’t want the drawer - doesn’t that make the most sense versus looking for something with few features? Never look to Apple for the right answer - that is always a good place to start.

Nova launcher lets you customize how the app drawer is opened - so you can turn off gesture opening via one of the other options. Nova is a great launcher, I switched to the paid version a couple of years back and found it to be my favorite. I just wish they’d launch Nova 8 which has been in beta for 2 years already.

I just put it in my dryer at 40C for a few hours with little regard to a target humidity. I also live in a dry climate where the ambient humidity is low, so maybe it’s not enough in wetter climates, but this works for me.

So what do I have wrong here?

Nothing, as far as I’m concerned. I guess DEs have to constantly change or they become stale to some people. I’m an older guy than the normal demographic here too and stale is exactly what I want. I run i3 with a bunch of terminals, a browser, and sublime text when vi in a terminal isn’t enough (yes, it’s really vim, but it’ll always be vi to me), and I xsetroot the classic weave pattern for my background. That’s it. I don’t need or want menus, widgets, themes, file managers or anything else. I guess someday Wayland will win, and I’ll be forced to do something different, but until then, not changing this extremely productive and efficient environment.

I don’t use Fedora, but I have ZFS on all my Arch systems for everything (including root fs). So, I’ll make a guess - is the package you installed for ZFS a DKMS kernel module, or a binary one? That’s the first thing. If it’s a DKMS module, I don’t see anything on your output showing it was compiled, which would explain the module not loading. If it’s a binary module in that package, it must be for the exact same version of the kernel that is installed - exact same. If it mismatches then you need either a different kennel or different ZFS package. In either case, you’ll probably need to wire in a hook for your initramfs, but it looks that part might be ok from your output. Hope that helps, good luck. ZFS is incredibly good.

urxvt is the only terminal I’ll use. Every time I try something else I come back to it because of some basic thing that’s not right - usually font rendering which urxvt is one of the few that works well with scalable fonts. It’s fast and simple and does everything I need without any bloated stuff I’ll never use.

Just install arch if that’s what you want.

Otherwise, RTFM - debootstrap.

I’ve found the same thing with regard to workflow - I find it really weird when people say it’s nothing like any other CAD programs, because it really is. You start with sketches and build up from there. Yes, the spreadsheet feature is amazing! I couldn’t believe SolidWorks forces you to buy Excel to do the same thing, which is crazy. The spreadsheet integration in FreeCAD is great - with the macro that handles the reference labels.

There’s not a single thing you can’t do in FreeCAD that you can do in other CAD programs - but you do have to understand how it works and it’s limitations.

I finally realised how freecad wants me to use it and found it much nicer to work with after that

Exactly this - once people invest the time to understand the FreeCAD flow, and get over it, they’ll find it’s an amazing and extremely productive tool.

I tried out SolidWorks and it’s a complete mess. You can’t just download and install it, it runs a bunch of weird background programs on the computer, and interacting with the multiple web sites is a nightmare. I’ve been waiting well over a month for them to refund under the promised 30 day guarantee. I’d never, ever do anything with that awful company again.

I’m really looking forward to see how Ondsel does. I’ve been using it for the last week or two, as it’s integrated 0.22 features, and I think it could be a really good thing for the FreeCAD community.

Strongly disagree. There’s nothing I can do in any of the commercial CAD programs that I can’t do in FreeCAD. Most people just don’t want to invest the time to learn it - and instead blame the tool. Yes, there’s a learning curve and it requires understanding the tool’s limitations, but if it wasn’t for FreeCAD we’d have nothing in the free, open source space for CAD.

Yep, all desktop environments have this - whatever text editor is handy. :⁠-⁠)

Same here. Useful breakdown on tools, several of which I’ve used. I’ve invested a lot of time in FreeCAD thus far, and as I’ve learned how to do things with the right workflow to prevent errors it’s really quite nice and very powerful - and it will continue to only get better with each release. Fortunately, there are great videos and posts when I do get stuck. I can’t say enough good things about MangoJellys YouTube videos in learning how to do things the FreeCAD way - probably half of FreeCAD I’d never learn to use by just clicking around. I intend to continue down this road too, and have donated to the FreeCAD project and supported creators versus paying for commercial software. No regrets!

Maybe they are, but this is the way the medium works - you don’t get to control what people post (unless you are mod). Scroll past and move on.

rxvt-unicode - lightweight and nearly perfect, and one of the few that handles fonts well.
