#Zorin OS

[netscapenavigator-official]

I'm thinking about doing something extremely feral:

Basically, unlike macOS, dynamic wallpapers on Linux work on timers. So, the dynamic Mojave Wallpaper I have set up isn't aware of when the daylight is changing, like on macOS. As a result, 16 photos across 24 hours simply is not enough.

The wallpaper that I initially downloaded, had each of the 16 images evenly spaced out. However, one quick look at the images, and you can tell they are NOT lined up for the changes in day time. Therefore, I went into the XML file and edited the times, myself. I set them up to better reflect what the sun is actually doing, outside.

However.

The sun does not behave the same throughout the entire year. Fortunately, Apple weather has this fun feature that lets you look at how the daylight behaves across the year, on a per-month basis. As a result, what I can do is make a unique XML file, for each month, and then swap them out at the 1st to make sure my dynamic wallpaper stays accurate.

But that's a lot of work for a wallpaper, and having to manually swap them out isn't ideal. I wonder if there's a way to use functions to make a single XML file repeat the daily pattern only a certain amount of days before switching to a new daily pattern for a new month, and then repeating.

Idk. And there's only one way to find out!

Send me an ask, I'll send you a completely biased opinion!

Welcome to the (un)offical Tumblr blog for the popular website distrochooser.de. This blog acts just like the website, but with a couple of key differences. The most important of which being that it's run by a biased teenager on a ThinkPad. Feel free to send me any ask you want, and I'll give you a recommendation for a Linux distribution, 100% Ubuntu free.

Windows recall is shit, is not secure and is not private. Better install a Linux distro instead

taking the linux pill

[roomwithavoid]

finding an operating system to replace windows 10 (since it’s losing support) has been a fucking nightmare. i’m not using windows 11 cause they’re doing that bullshit “we own your computer actually” thing. i tried mint cinnamon but my computer would start freezing (often to the point of needing a restart) after only like an hour of use. i tried zorinOS but it somehow made my computer even slower?? i was tempted to try reactOS because i heard it can run windows stuff but then i learned it’s been in beta for 30 years despite apparently being actively worked on? and when i looked into people who have it they were all talking about constant blue screens.

im honestly at a fucking loss man. i think what im especially frustrated about is that linux mint cinnamon improved the performance for both my and my partners’ laptops, but the second it goes on my actual desktop computer it makes everything freeze for some reason? make it make sense.

So at the moment, I'm pleased by Zorin OS' user experience on my desktop - it's not without its faults (vulkan shader processing in GMod be damned :') ), but it's a nice change of pace compared to Windows.

Gonna do a test run with animating and editing with Kdenlive this weekend to see how it rolls.

I will still be using Windows for stuff like FL Studio and DaVinci Resolve unless I can figure out how to get both working, but in the meantime, everything's looking promising!

But that might also be because I've always enjoyed exploring new kinds of computers and OSes cuz they're refreshing experiences - been a staple since I first used a Mac in elementary school. It's fun! :D

Como agregar de manera correcta el $PATH de Go en Zorin OS

Me imagino que si estas aqui es porque estas presentando incoveniente para ejecutar archivos .go en tu pc linux o en Zorin Os, que es la distribuccion la cual utilizo. Si estas aqui es porque me imagino que ya intalaste go en Zorin OS y si presentas incovenientes a la hora de ejercutar el archivo .go despues de haber reiniciado o apagado tu pc te traigo la solucion.

Abre una terminal

Dirigirte al directorio (/home/"usuario":) //donde dice usuario, va colocado tu usuario de acceso a tu sistema linux.

Luego escribes el comando ls -a, el comando "ls" nos muestra todo los archivos que tenemos en esa ruta y con el comando "-a" le indicamos que nos muestre tambien los archivos olcutos. Esto es porque para que nuestro $PATH de go sigan funcionando incluso despues de haber reiniciado la PC es necesario editar un archivo oculto.

Ahi ubicamos el archivo llamado .bashrc y en la terminal escribimos lo siguiente: nano .bashrc (tambien lo puedes hacer con vim, es decir, "vim .bashrc")

Ahi se nos abrira por asi decirlo un editor de texto en nuestra terminal, ahi nos dirigimos a lo ultimo del archivo y pegamos el $PATH de go que es el siguiente: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin, presionamos CTRL + O para guardar los cambios y luego CTRL + X para salir.

Y listo, de esta manera aunque reiniciemos o apaguemos el pc, nuestro $PATH de go estara siempre activo y podemos ejecutar archivos de go sin ningun incoveniente.

So I have a Linux problem, and I'm just gonna post it here. I dunno if I have the reach for this, but if you know a potential fix, I will gladly accept it:

Basically, I run Zorin OS 17.2 Core on my Mid-2017 MacBook Pro (Two Thunderbolt Ports). This computer has been hell to make work, but after years of fiddling and finding drivers and terminal commands, it works almost like OEM.

My last problem with this machine, and the only thing that does not function like it's OEM, is the Sleep/Wake function. This is a known issue with 2016 and newer MacBooks on Linux; However, there are workarounds.

Namely, I found a kernel parameter that prevents Deep sleep and only allows the computer to go into s2idle when the lid is shut. This isn't great because it means the dies quickly and gets hot when the lid is shut, but I can't really do anything about it. This did, however, fix an issue I was having where the audio would just stop working if I ever shut the lid.

The final issue was getting the computer to wake up on its own. Every time I start the computer up (not waking it up; only powering it up from a complete shutdown) I have go into terminal and run this:

sudo bash -c 'echo "0" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/d3cold_allowed'

I don't know what this command does, but without it, the machine will just never wake up. If you close the lid without running this at initial startup, it cannot be woken back up until it is rebooted.

That's not really a problem, since it's only once per reboot, and I don't reboot my laptop very frequently.

You know what would really make this even more seamless, though? If I could run this command using Ubuntu's startup applications menu. That way, I wouldn't have to manually open terminal every boot just to run this command. It would just run automatically, and I'd never have to worry about it. It would work like OEM! (Minus the less efficient sleep state.)

However, I can't do that. I've tried that. In fact, I have that exact command in my Startup Applications app, as we speak.

Any time I start the computer up and DON'T manually run the command, if I shut the lid, the computer sleeps. It will, however, wakeup (unlike if the command had never been input). HOWEVER. Unlike running the command in terminal, when it finally wakes up, the cursor photo changes into a gray square, my Night Light settings are reset, my wallpaper changes to black, my system accent color is changed to default, and any time I click inside the password box to login, the field immediately becomes inactive again. It doesn't stay active long enough for me to even get two letters typed. All this happens while "Authentication Error" rapidly and randomly flashes below the password box.

Eventually, if I don't force shut down the machine, it'll crash. It'll throw me into terminal mode, and it'll infinitely repeat an error claiming it could not write to some 'systemd jounral' thing because the operating system is in read-only mode. After that it'll either repeat that error over and over, creating endless lines in terminal mode, or it'll just freeze, and I have to restart the laptop either way. So, my question is:

WHY.

Why does running this command in terminal and running it via Startup Application have different results, and is there any way to fix it??

I have a deep love for computers and systems that even when I'm a total failure in the matter, I'm building a forum and a blog (in Spanish) to introduce Linux distros to my friends and anybody that wants to get the big step
