What do yall think of linux flatpacks? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Overall works well. Sizing is a bit large but can be worth it for the universal distribution.

Allows for more software to get out there.

Signal is probably the simplest to get started with.

There is also element/matrix for more of a discord type feel.

SimpleX if you want something more anonymous.

Isn't matrix more like slack that you are looking for?

Without much context all I can suggest is PowerAmp for music player. It is a paid app.

Eternity for Lemmy.

Heliboard for a more private keyboard.

Newpipe for YouTube.

From my experience, you have to use google services for the 2fa to work on Yubikey. You can work around this by using a TOTP and storing it on the key. There is a Yubikey app that can read the tokens that doesn't require google services. Another approach is make a separate profile that has a google account active on it and just keep those apps there to use the Yubikey on.

Some banking apps require extra work in their settings permissions to get them to work. Try turning off some of the extra security measures for app in the app permissions settings. See if that can get them to work.

Messaging is going to be broken unless both parties use an internet based messenger, like signal or iMessage. SMS is very restrictive. RCS may help fix this when it launched to iOS but it seems to break on graphene. Probably the same reason banking apps break.

You're stuck on a desert island for five years. You can have three video games. What three games do you take? in c/games@sh.itjust.works

[–] ninjaturtle@lemmy.today 6 points 3 months ago

Fallout - Tale of two wastelands.....hopefully that counts as one game, if not then Skyrim. For the endless mods.
Hades or Binding of Issac - for the infinite replayability.
Minecraft - for the creative aspect of building and lots of content.

Need distro advice in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

[–] ninjaturtle@lemmy.today 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Haven't tried it myself yet but you can check out brazzite

Gaming focused distro.

Also pop os has been pretty good to me, but it is on the old side at the moment until they update everything near the last quarter of the year.

what's your favorite hydration drink? bonus points if it's a drink mix in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] ninjaturtle@lemmy.today 9 points 4 months ago

Straight chilled water.

If I need extra hydration aka eletrolytes, I either put pure electrolytes in it or a flavored powder like Liquid IV.
