This is a pretty good start to make Mint (Cinnamon) look better.

Its basically mall built-in tools.

I ended up just putting icons in the middle (to prepare for works Win11 enshitification).

I also put a user button near the time to allow shutdown and removed the god awful power icons from the start menu (or whatever the app launcher is called).

Theres also an extend thin for a bigger start menu more like a grid but thats personal preference.

I think mint should do some of these things so its not so off putting. It held me back forming for so long but IRS much better.

I prefer mint over fedora. Fedora dosnt seem to have as many apps in the store. Yes you can use a terminal but thats not helping linux become mainstream, mint is.

+1 mint also prompts new users to setup timeshift backups.

There was some drama recently with Bitwarden. They sorted it out now but it nearly became enshitified.

Yep. This frustrates me too. Wish I could turn off going to the community list via that method.

Best Way to Get Notified About New Movie Releases? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

This dosnt seem to fully work. Deadpool & Wolverine was at cinama and only available as a cam recording (on the high seas) until late last month. Lee on the other hand is showing at cinema but on the seas toucan watch it as 4k.

Best Way to Get Notified About New Movie Releases? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I'm rarely at a PC when I want to add a movie. I dont normally DL content either. Just stream via Stremio and Premiumize.

Is there ao mobile option thst doesn't require VPN and Remote PC?

Best Way to Get Notified About New Movie Releases? (jlai.lu)
 

I'm trying to find a simple way to keep track of movie releases that I'm interested in. Is there an app or website where I can just type in the movie name and get notified when it's available?

I've seen some posts mentioning setting up RSS feeds, but that seems a bit complicated for what I need. Ideally, I want something where I can just hit "get notified" and then receive an email or notification when the movie is released.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

(Not just when they are released in cinema but as 1080 or 4k)

There is an site to turn YT feeds into RSS (?) And then play the audio through Antenna Pod. So YouTube to podcast.

I've got it working for some things I follow where I dont need the visuals.

Linux on iMac? (jlai.lu)
 

Question is title.

In the past I've installed many distros on many older PCs, but never used linux properly (although slowly moving over to avoid win11). I've also had a heap of history with windows installs.

A family member has been testing Mint on an old laptop and is going well. This is a trial run before I update their iMac laptop (not sure what one but no longer supposed by OS updates).

I've never booted to an iMac BIOS or installed over top of apple.

  • Is this going to be like installing over windows?
  • What issues can I expect?
  • Should I consider another distro?

Asking here as searching results in AI bullshit websites.

Podcast like search for YouTubr channels (jlai.lu)
 

I'm looking for a way to browse YT or find creators I might like.

In the long run I'd like to use YT like my podcasts. Thst is, play the new content daily/weekly form people I follow rather than mindlessly scrolling the algorithm.

With most podcast apps I can just see categories and go through the top creators in each category. Along with seeing how often content is posted. This way I can also check out other random categories and find content outside what is normally like.

Searching YT just gets all the clickbate and my algorithm is pretty rubbish. Im using Tubular and SmartTube, but perhaps there is a website or other way to find creators?

What YouTube channels post content similar to TV shows? (jlai.lu)
 

I'm sure there are channels that run similar to Public TV. They may post a regular show, or a variety of shows.

Maybe web-series is the word to use. They must be of decent quality and updated within the last 6 months.

I'm know not looking for documentaries, essay videos, pranks, reviews or vlogs.

And not 1-2 people going around doing whatever, or a group of people that sit with a static backdrop chatting or pulling up graphics.

I'm looking for funny game shows, dating shows, reality tv, sit coms, drama, variety shows, comedy or anything that would be similar to flicking through over the air TV (but not jsut shows copied from TV).

Not sure what's going on here. But it's the only app listed that is constantly using a sensor.
