  • Hi, thanks for your work. I came to report a bug in old.lemmy.zip, but I'm worried after reading this:

    also a prewarning, the old front end is no longer maintained, and unless someone steps in, it is not compatible with the next version of Lemmy. Therefore at that point it will be retired unless someone works on it to bring it back in line

    The bug, that started a few days ago, is that it's not filtering out blocked communities, all the main feeds are including posts from the popular communities I blocked.

    It only affects the old frontend, main lemmy.zip is fine.

  • In my first two years of Linux, I struggled between using Notepad++ through Wine and trying the many different editors out there (including the three you mentioned, with Kate being the one I tried the most to be the chosen one), never feeling fully satisfied. Until I found a little-known one that I would use today even in a Windows machine where Np++ is a native option: CudaText.

    Just like Np++, you can get extra useful features by installing plugins. And you should dig into available settings to adjust to your taste.

    In the end, CudaText is a more advanced editor than Np++, while it still feels welcoming for editing non-code text, unlike VSCode or Sublime imo.

  • Earlier this month I tried some options. Just my personal experience as a basic user. Disclaimer: trying to connect over internet (not LAN) to a machine running Plasma Wayland. Some points I remember:

    • AnyDesk and RustDesk didn't work.
    • xrdp has some issues like it doesn't work if user is already logged in the physical machine when you try to connect. Also if I don't manually logout before disconnecting from remote, my physical PC freezes, forcing me to reboot.
    • NoMachine and TeamViewer are good. I also quickly tested with X11 and performance was bad with AnyDesk and xrdp. RustDesk is in between the two pairs, closer to the good ones.
    • I couldn't make NoMachine send audio, maybe because I use PipeWire?
    • NoMachine has better keyboard support, simple and important hotkeys like Ctrl+C didn't work consistently for me with TeamViewer, even after searching for grab keyboard-like settings. Alt+Tab to switch active window also doesn't work properly on TeamViewer, it's captured by local machine instead of remote.
    • None of them were able to hide the screen (privacy mode) in the physical monitor. At least NoMachine can automatically lock the session when you disconnect.

    I ended up using NoMachine. I guess it has similar performance as connecting to a Windows machine using FreeRDP, but with some minor issues like no audio (for me this wasn't important).

    So from my experience, I'd rank this way:

    • NoMachine > TeamViewer > RustDesk > AnyDesk > xrdp.

    Didn't try VNC options because everyone says (from what I read) they perform poorly.
