It's sad to see such a great project come to a close. I've been using ArcoLinux for years and have come to love it.

I wish the ArcoLinux Team and the Beta testers all the best.

I've got political words, certain names, and "Daily Screenshot" because I'm tired of seeing those posts. Tempted to add AI to it.

From fast4x in the RiMusic Telegram channel:

Hi all, i can only say that i am very sorry and that unfortunately the project cannot continue to be a music streaming app based on YouTube.

It is unfortunate this happened to such a good FOSS music streaming app. Hopefully, someone can continue it.

To all the people who contributed to RiMusic all this time, thank you for making a great music streaming app!

As well, thank you fast4x for working hard each week to get RiMusic to where it is.

So, I've recently binged a YouTube channel called Linux Creative Project, which documents someone's transition from macOS to Linux for creative work. They go over their hardware, software, and their experiences/problems during the transition.

Any of you know any other YouTube channels that do something similar (Documenting their transition to Linux)?

So, I've decided that I want to reinstall Arch on my laptop, but this time separate /home from root, and encrypt it using LUKS.

I made a backup of my current, unencrypted home directory (I didn't separate them initially) using:

sudo rsync -aXS --exclude='/*/.gvfs' /home/. /mnt/home/.

Once I wipe Arch and reinstall it, encrypting /home, would I be able to transfer my unencrypted files to the encrypted /home partition, and have them become encrypted?

I made this Python menu-driven CLI script for yt-dlp. It guides you through a series of menus to download content from a YouTube URL.

If anyone is interested, feedback would be greatly appreciated as only I have tested this so far, and I want to make sure it works for other people's systems.

If you encounter any issues or bugs, let me know so I can fix them!

Edit: I should mention: This is not a pipx package. That was never the intention developing this initially. I might make it a package in the future, but for now, it is just a project directory.

I'm not creative, so I made these templates for everyone.

So, I'm making an install.sh script to download script files from GitHub to the user's system. I know downloading to the home directory (~/script_dir/) is typically frowned upon.

For context, this is a directory containing python files, README, requirements, etc. pip dependencies need to be installed before launch. The script would be executed through main.py.

Where would be a good place to download to that won't clutter the user's home directory?

Edit: The script is a CLI interface for yt-dlp to make it easier to use. So, it will download files to specified directories on the user's system.

Edit 2: Appreciate the responses. I forgot to mention this script has a config file it uses for certain parameters, such as default download directory for each category. If a config file doesn't exist it creates one in the script's directory and dumps the default values from a default config file (YAML).

Some of you are mentioning this could be a PyPI package. Would I still be able to read/wr

I've seen a lot of people praising RSS feeds over standard news. What benefits does RSS have over normal news sites? Are they more privacy-focused?

What feeds would you recommend for a fellow Lemmy user?

Ive been wanting to upgrade from Plasma 5 to 6 for some time, but I don't want to manually upgrade, risking breaking everything.

So, does anyone know when they will release Manjaro with KDE Plasma 6?

Been trying to find a good tablet for productivity and recreation. Something that can be used for programming (Not web), and something that can play DRM content.

Ideally, something under $1000.

I've already looked at the Librem 11 and am considering it, but I want to know other (ideally, cheaper) options available.

Red spider lily is my favorite because of its blood red hue and symbolism.

I'm running a version of Android called OxygenOS, and there was a GPS update available in the Aurora Store. However, when I attempted to install it, a message appeared:

"This app normally receives updates from Google Play Store. By updating from a different source, you may receive future updates from any source on your phone. App functionality may change."

I'm concerned that updating the GPS through Aurora might cause issues with some of my other applications, particularly those I've paid for. Is it safe to go ahead with the update?

Preferably, apps that can be installed from F-Droid. APK recommendations are acceptable too.

I always have music in my head and I was wondering if other people have something similar.
