# Solus - Budgie is gorgeous. Stunningly so. Coming from Fedora 31 GNOME to Budige is like going from Windows 3.11 to MacOS - eopkg is still limited in what it offers which means Flatpaks and Snaps are your friend - sudo eopkg install flatpak xdg-desktop-portal-gtk - flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo - Restart Snapd is preinstalled. Should preinstall Flatpaks as well. Feed should be built into the store along with AppImages to overcome lack of software. - Telegram (In store) - Zoom (via AppImage - MegaSync biggest issue: sudo eopkg add-repo megasync https://gitlab.com/abdulocracy/solus-megasync-repository/raw/master/packages/eopkg-index.xml.xz - https://gitlab.com/abdulocracy/solus-megasync-repository/ - Steam (In Store) - iio-sensor (In store for screen rotation) ### Paper Cuts - Store has limited software (integrate all Universal packages) - Resolution scaling only has 100% and 200% need an in between - Install Gnome Tweaks and increase font size to 11 helps. - If you add applets it's through the store and not in the Budgie Settings menu so you may not know they are there. Also have to logout before they become available after install. ### Wins - Budgie is gorgeous - AMD support without any issue - Installation is simple and allows you to clearly define and control installation process - Yubikey support out of the box - Updated Kernel and Mesa - Rolling Release - Nice tiling options with Super key - Budgie Desktop Settings is a nice setting interface that's organized well and makes sense. - Right click on clock - Raven menu for notifications - Printer added out of the box no pulling my hair out. - Built in on-screen Keyboard 'OnBoard' - Applets in the store such as weather, note taking, etc

Favorite Linux Software

Last Updated 12/2020 This is a list of my favorite software applications for Linux. I hope this list helps you discover some new and amazing software that runs on Linux. I've provided links to the project webpages for more information. Installation of the software should be done via your distros repository such as Ubuntu (sudo apt install Kdenlive) or Arch (pacman -S kdenlive). Some of the software is available as a SNAP or Flatpak so check for universal package options if it is not in your distro repository or software store. One command to install most of the non-proprietary software listed below in Arch distro: $ sudo pacman -S kdenlive peek gimp inkscape tilix fish calibre flameshot krita smplayer strawberry guvcview darktable shotwell remmina thunderbird obs-studio telegram-desktop feedreader deja-dup simple-scan Kdenlive : Open source non-linear video editor with powerful video creation and export abilities Lightworks : Not Open Source Professional video editing tool Ghost : Open Source alternative to WordPress for creating websites, blogs, and more.

DasGeek Super Trippy Guide To The Dark Web!

Dun dun duhhhhhhhhhhhhn No I do not list any sites that directly contain illegal activity. Guide To Getting On The Dark Web First, the dark web is not some nafarious place where only illegal things happen. It's a pretty awesome place if you know where to (like a big city) There is nothing illegal or wrong with surfing the dark web. Just make sure to hang around the well lit areas and don't go searching for the bad stuff. You know...just like the regular internet. Getting on the Dark Web is not hard at all. Simply download the Tor Browser. Make sure you download the browser actually from Tor and not any of the fake sites. The official site is https://www.torproject.org/ It is recommended to use a VPN in conjunction with Tor if you're goal is to remain anonymous. However, Tor does a great job of that by itself if you're not going to shady sites you should be fine. Now that you have the Tor browser you can browse .onion sites. Those sites are on the DARK WEB (dun dun duhhhhhhhhhn!)
