Yes, a decently popular (181 stars) auto clicker springs to mind. There’s a pretty good video by Eric Parker that covers it

Not sure if it counts, but gnome-font-viewer might fit the bill.

You can probably run something like gnome-font-viewer /usr/share/fonts/open-sans/OpenSans-Regular.ttf and it should show you the font, although I haven’t verified that myself.

Here are it’s dependencies:

$ dnf repoquery --requires gnome-font-viewer

It does also let you view fonts installed on your system, but I don’t see why that should be a deal-breaker.

There is also the display command, provided by ImageMagick. My understanding is that it only supports X11, but it should work just fine under XWayland.

Yeah, I just had some misconceptions Xorg and X11. A few googling sessions later I’m all caught up though, I think.

Thank you for pointing that out in a calm way, on the internet.

Gotta make everything into a conspiracy theory huh?

When was that ever a thing?

do not attempt to re-educate users’ behavior.

They shove Onedrive down your throat until your rectum starts to bleed ffs

This is one of the most useful things in Xorg, and prior to that in X11.

X11 is the last version of Xorg, not sure what you meant there.

Make it configurable, if you must, but leave us old timers work the way we have done for 30 years or more.

It was configurable and will stay configurable. The intent is to change the default.

Personally I support the change, but that might be because of my adhd making me click on the mouse wheel every 0.1 seconds.

Please don’t fuck a gnome, that’s very impolite

The wheel

Judging by what we’ve seen in previous attempts, I wouldn’t expect anything

Practice the basics again, simple as that.

keybr.com is a good website to practice your basic typing skills. monkeytype.com can also be helpful for less-basic practice.

Ouch

The Ubuntu thing was about them making it opt-out rather than opt-in (so turned on by default), but it’s still nothing malicious and diesn’t collect any personal data. At least that’s how I remember it.

Also Linux doesn’t really have anti-viruses like Windows does (there are a few options for edgecases though). That is because Linux isn’t really targeted by malware developers as much and also Linux is actually designed to be secure.

As for general security tips, number 1 is probably using a password manager (I use a KeePassXC compatible client).

Also be careful with rm -rf. I almost deleted all the files in my home directory once. I have aliased rm to gio trash since.

None of the popular distros will spy on you the way Windows or MacOS do, so privacy shouldn’t be a concern.

As for security, is it malware you fear? Without more specific context, the only thing that can be said for sure is that you should encrypt your drive (most distros will have the option to set that up during installation), and don’t sudo random commands you see on the internet without understanding what they do.

Also before buying a PSU, make sure it’s from a reliable brand, has at least 5 years warranty and then see what the smart people with equipment say about the specific model you’re looking at. PSUCircuit is a good resource for this.

Huh, well the fact that you’re just logged out suggests that the DE either encounters an unrecoverable error, or the system runs out of resources and has to kill some userspace processes to free them up and your DE just happens to be one of the things it kills, which can leave it in an unrecoverable state.

The pink squares do suggest a gpu-related problem however, it’s possible that your gpu is either overheating or doesn’t get enough power from the power supply. What gpu temperatures and ram usage are you seeing before the freeze? And what power supply are you using?

You’re likely running out of memory. Try setting up a swap file.

You probably don’t have the Flathub remote enabled for Flatpak. Just go through the setup steps as usual.
