I'm testing, after many recommendations, a mint installation on my Lenovo yoga 720.

I found the settings for touchpad gestures but my question is: how do I bind a keyboard shortcut to a gesture?

I tried a workaround and installed touché, since my understanding was that mint uses touchegg. But that worked only until the first reboot and now seems broken. If possibleI'd prefer to just use whatever is implemented anyway.

So, is there a way to bind a keyboard shortcut to a touchpad gesture?

After convincing my employer to move away from MS office I can finally make the permanent switch away from windows.

I settled on pop_os for now since it supports hybrid Nvidia graphics out of the box and I am a noob.

Two questions:

1. I used OneDrive, and especially the file on-demand (all files on server visible in explorer but only downloaded when needed) feature a lot. What cloud storage provider has the best Linux integration? I dabbled with NeXtCloUD but the Linux client is not great, especially the file on-demand implementation.

2. What are best practices for managing apps? The last time I entertained the idea of switching, I ended up with applications installed from the snap store, flatpacks, some appimages, some through apt. It quickly gets confusing for me when I want a specific program but it, f.ex., is only distributed through the snap store. Is there a GUI (I know) way to see all applications, where they're installed from, with an easy remove button? Akin to what windows offers?

The recent chat bot advances have pretty much changed my life. I used to get anxiety by receiving mails and IMs, sometimes even from friends. I lost friendships over not replying. My main issue being that I am sometimes get completely stuck in a loop of how to formulate things in the best way to the point of just abandoning the contact. I went to therapy for that and it helped. But the LLM advancements of the recent years have been a game changer.

Now I plop everything into ChatGPT, cleaning out personal information as much as possible, and let the machine write. Often I'll make some adjustments but just having a starting point has changed my life.

So, my answer, I use it all the fucking time.

In der Klickbox meiner SRAM S7 ist Feuchtigkeit. Das Lastenrad steht draußen und ich hab keine Möglichkeit es irgendwo geschützt unterzustellen.
Ich weiß jetzt schon das mir das Ding einfrieren wird, letzte Nacht hatten wir das erste Mal Frost.

Nun die Frage: was tun? Kann man die Box irgendwie Trockenlegen? Wobei das Wasser ja wohl zurück kommen wird, es ist hier auch ständig nass im Winter.

Über Tipps von euch freue ich mich!

Basically the title. I'm on Fedora with gnome 44. I set up a custom keyboard shortcut to open nautilus but if I'm in a different directory than home it opens a new window. I'm using the command nautilus.
What I would like is a shortcut to bring the currently open window into the foreground (no matter where I navigated to) and, if there is no open window, open nautilus in the home directory. Possible?

Moin!

Hab hier einen 1 jährigen Kollegen der gerne mit im Fahrrad fährt, sowohl hinter mir im Kindersitz, als auch vor mir im Lastenrad. Da natürlich mit entsprechendem Einsatz bzw. bald 5-punkt Gurt.

Jetzt zum Problem. Abhängig von der Tageszeit schläft er gerne auch ein. So nach allem über 15min Fahrzeit eigentlich, es sei denn wir haben gerade Nickerchen gemacht. Bis dato habe ich angehalten und dann weiter geschoben und ihn getragen. Hab die Ausflüge immer so geplant, dass wir nie zu weit von zu Hause weg waren.

Aber bald starten wir z.B. die zweite Runde Babyschwimmen und ich würde gerne mit dem Rad zum Schwimmbad. Bin mir aber zu 99,999% sicher auf dem Rückweg wird gepennt.

Gibt's da ne clever Lösung? Bin irgendwie ratlos, der Kopf baumelt schon ganz schön heftig herum im Schlaf.

Just recently got arch on my laptop and I'm liking it quite a lot. A breath of fresh air for old hardware and with tlp some substantially better battery life as well.
My big problem is that I use MS office quite heavily for work, including OneNote and OneDrive.

I found onedriver which is an excellent OneDrive on-demand solution.
But I'm at a loss in regards to office. I tried wps, only office, LibreOffice, MS office online. But they all have at least one document of the ones I'm working on right now that doesn't get rendered properly. Can't believe how poor Microsoft's online solution is tbh. I have a pretty big word document that gets completely butchered.

Anyway, what are my options? Is it worth trying something like cassowary? Setting up a VM is probably just going to ruin my battery life and negate any performance advantage I gained by ditching Windows.

Thoughts?
Btw, if this is the wrong community for this kind of question I apologize.
