Ok noctalia is pretty nice! And with qt apps + the global menu, it really matches what I’m used to.
It doesn’t seem like there’s a working MPD plugin, but that can probably be rectified, I’ll have a look.
Noctalia + niri + kde apps styles with macos 9 icons is one of my favorite desktops so far

xdg and d-bus are great and the way to integration and consistency in linux.
I had already played with MPRIS when writing lyricli, which magically gives you compatibility with most music players, but having explored more of it, I’m convinced it’s essential for any app developer to support.
I wonder if apps support d-bus scripting in the same way Mac apps support AppleScript.

Dear all - I'm starting to bundle up my work on porting mainline linux to the Kindle Paperwhite3 - I've got most of the major features but the install process is complicated.
I'm going to put together a custom linux distro for it - no other ones really fit. I've run into a roadblock as I am struggling with a name. It's going to be based on alpine linux, I want to avoid anything that a*mazon can get grumpy about.

#Debian Turns 33 Years Old, Happy Birthday! https://9to5linux.com/debian-turns-33-years-old-happy-birthday
#presentación Hola gente, soy secondchancelemon y soy marido, papá de un nene de 4 años, y un enfermo renal crónico (genética, mala genética).
Soy abstemio, mi humor es onda #dadjokes, tengo mala memoria, un tímpano roto, me gustan los insultos, las malas palabras, las paradojas y las contradicciones.
Hice un degoogle y encontré Mastodon por casualidad, hace 9 meses, buscando alejarme de las rr.ss algorítmicas. Floté por otras instancias hasta llegar a los rebeldes de Argentina. Acá encontré gente que le gusta #Linux y el software libre, la ciberseguridad, el selfhosting, el activismo político, la filosofía, la psicología, la piratería y todas las cosas nerds que hacen lindo al mundo.
Leí a Douglas Adams y creí haber encontrado al mejor autor de todos los tiempos, hasta que encontré a Terry Pratchett. Ahora estoy re-leyendo "El quinto elefante" con mi esposa, de la Saga de la Guardia.
Ah, disappointed to learn that KDE is also going the path of hamburger menus vs actual menu bars, so anything kirigami does not export an actual global menu.
Kirigami apps have the same "mobile inspired" desktop approach that I think sucks on desktop and is the GNOME approach, and increasingly the macOS approach as well.

Hi all and especially the amazing Linux and more specifically, Linux Mint people who could possibly help me out once again.
As always, the various search engines are coming up with everything I don't need help with.
I have a 2TB external drive which is in 3 partitions. I can see all the existing files and folders. However, I am backing up some music folders onto it and here is the issue. The backed up folders are not visible and after copying IDK, about 20+ folders, I get an error:
Error creating directory /media/rose/WD Passport/Music/BLUES: Input/output error
I tried Disks and GParted to fix but no use. I'm trying to run fsck on it but am failing as it won't accept my bloody password even though I use it all the time (of course!). If I try to re-copy one of the folders I get the usual message asking what I want to do with it (merge etc) and with most, I can then replace/skip etc. So it's sounds like a bad sector or something, hence the disk utils and fsck. There's plenty of space left on it, about 1/2 TB.
Any / all offers of help will be happily put to the test.

Please, can anyone confirm what's reported by Google AI?
"This legendary 3D-rendered wallpaper was originally created by German graphic designer and digital artist Leonhard "Leo" Krauß (frequently credited as L. Krauß). … it became an iconic desktop background in the early 2000s tech community."
