Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    But think of all the programs that don't even exist on Windows:)

    Foliate is hands down the best ebook reader

    Okular is good enough for me. It has at least 3 dark modes and I can hide all the UI in non-fullscreen mode.

    Okular is the MPV of documents it seems. Regarding file-formats and UI. I only use it for PDF's and I honestly had no clue it can read e-books and so much other formats. Even docx and odt with plugins. Also didn't knew it has 3 dark-modes. Tyvm for your post.

    BTW, I love mpv. It's minimalistic, supports all necessary shortcuts and can be controlled via Lua script. As a scripter/keyboard-only user it's perfect.

    [–] boomzilla@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Yeah it's great. I use it for youtube and twitch and I don't need more than the volume, mute, forward/backward and fullscreen keys to use it. Never touched Lua. Do you use it with MPV yourself?

    [–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

    Yes, for auto fullscreening, changing subtitles/audio, skipping some chapters etc.
