• what happened to my linux mint laptop and how do I fix it?

  If you want something new you probably want to aim light. I'd opt for AntiX full version as it's very light, stable and comes with a variety of lightweight desktops, themes and other stuff to choose from at login. The sister project MXLinux could also be worth a look for a more traditional system, but I'd try the Fluxbox option to keep things light. Source: about 1 year ago

• Installing MX Linux

  I'm getting an error of - Could not find file antiX/linuxfs - searched devices /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdb1 etc. Gives me an ooption to contact Bitjam at mxlinux.org and then says P=power off, r=reboot. I've tried to look around but I'm not finding any details on what's going on. There was a mention of bad hardware, but if my other ISO's are booting no problem I dont think that is the issue.

• Arch, void or something else entirely?

  I thought I would never say this, but I think you should try the KDE edition of https://mxlinux.org/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Linux "beginner" in search of a Linux distro

  I tried so many Fedora, Linux mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Debian, Arch Linux, Opensuse Tumbleweed . And so on actually pretty much everything off Distro watch, YouTube , and any others I head about. And I found something I liked by each version. I'm kind thinking sticking with Manjaro, tumbleweed, Linux mint, Ubuntu, or Fedora. So honestly I can give opinions on each distribution. But you want a Kde plasma. A lot of... Source: about 1 year ago

• Can this work? Hesitantly considering Linux

  Give MXLinux (https://mxlinux.org/) a go. Can be installed to an external drive, and changes are persistant. Source: about 1 year ago

• Underscores are stupid? Get a Japanese keyboard (2012)

  Seeing as it wasn't mentioned, there's a Ukelele[0] app for making keyboard layouts for macOS. After installing, switching layouts is as easy as tapping 'fn' by itself or using the keyboard menu icon. [0] https://software.sil.org/ukelele/. - Source: Hacker News / 17 days ago

• Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?

  I also use a QWERTY keyboard and I use a custom keyboard layout that maps alt-a to ä, alt-u to ü, alt-o to ö, alt-s to ß (plus the same for uppercase for the first 3). That works well for me without the need to post-process. On macOS it's relatively easy to create using a tool called Ukulele (https://software.sil.org/ukelele/). You can also download my layout here: https://alex.kirk.at/USUmlaut.keylayout. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Where Did the QWERTY Keyboard Come From?

  I’ve always set up a custom keyboard for exactly that! () on their own keys, [] on shift and {} above 0 and 9. It always struck me as the most natural alignment for prose and programming. Thankfully between Ukelele [0] and MSKLC [1] it’s pleasantly simple to do [0] for macOS: https://software.sil.org/ukelele/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Ukelele layout icon width

  Hey everyone, I have created a custom layout with Ukelele and everything works great except that the icon for my custom layout is narrower for some reason, in comparison to the default layouts. I tried everything, but I can't make it normal size. Source: 10 months ago

• Atkinson Hyperlegible Font

  They could have used the SIL Open Font License instead. People in the open source world are often already familiar with it, and resources like tl;dr Legal are available for it. Their EULA is, in fact almost exactly the SIL Open Font License, but someone decided minor changes in wording were more valuable than standardization. https://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=OFL_web... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
