Same great Dharma, new SolarPunk packaging!

I really appreciate your help, but I had to do a fresh install of Fedora last night. It was having major issues after I updated to 40. I hadn’t used the laptop in nearly 2 years, and I think it just messed up when I updated it. It is working perfectly now, though!
My main issue now is that I got nextcloud through hertzner to back up everything before I reinstalled, and I accidently rented a server on there in addition to the storage share, and I’m not sure how to give it back 😭
This is the first thing I’ve found since I switched from Windows where windows just does it better, to be honest. Kde doesn’t make you jump through these hoops? I love gnome, It’s the perfect aesthetic for me, and I love how… Flowy it feels. But grrrrrr about this. Lol
Thank you!
Thanks for teaching me something! :)
Any idea what to do about the lid close issues with that output? I’m stumped, but I’m stumped easily, so I’m not sure how dead-endy this is haha
If I’m reading it right, it’s saying it should be working?
/usr/lib/systemd/logind.confcody@fedora:$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/logind.conf | grsystemd-analyze cat-config systemd/logind.conf | grep -i lid #HandleLidSwitch=suspend #HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=suspend #HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore #LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes cody@fedora:~$ grep -i lid /etc/UPower/UPower.conf

Thank you for replying so quickly! I’ll email him back and let him know I should be able to get the formatting the same. I really appreciate your advice!
So I just emailed my professor, and he says that I can use fade in if the formatting is the same as final draft, and I buy the license so there’s no watermark. Which sucks, but fuggit it it lets me keep using Linux. Do you know if the formatting is the same? This is only my second ever screenwriting class.
The school pays for final draft, and I am poor. But someone else just showed me fade in was free and works with Linux, so I’m gonna try that out!
Oh shit, this I did not know. I just Googled the price and I guess it only showed the paid version. Sweet! Thank you! If this works, I can officially uninstall Windows! That’s literally the last thing holding me to it. :D
It was 8 gigs. Someone else suggested boxes over a VM, would 8 gigs be enough for either of those?
Thank you for the advise! YouTube tutorials, here I come!
I looked into it, but I can’t afford it out of pocket. The school pays for final draft, but won’t cover anything else :/ If I could, that would definitely be my go-to
They require a program called Final Draft. I looked around but couldn’t find an alternative
I will do this. Thank you!
I’ve never run a virtual machine, because I’ve always had, frankly, really shitty laptops. Like… Cheapest of the cheap without being a Chromebook. Only decent computer I’ve ever bought got broken within a month. :(
Can I run VMs on really low end specs? The screenwriting software is the only thing I need it for, and I’m assuming it’s pretty much the same as running a word processor.
I’d imagine it requires about as much as a word processor, since that’s basically what it is. A word processor with a specialized template and some nifty autofill options. Again, dummy here. If I’m running a virtual machine, can I create a file in it that is saved to my actual machine, or would I need to, like, email it to myself using the virtual windows os?
Y’all, help a dummy out. I dual boot windows and Fedora. I only keep windows around for a very few college classes that require for screenwriting software. I have not booted into windows in months. I have a screenwriting class coming up in a week.
How worried should I be? I am not great with computers, I run fedora mostly because I support the philosophy of Linux, less for the techy stuff. Please advice, Linux people. I’m scurred.
Not sure if that’s an option or not, but I use omnivore for that. Freakin’ life saver for me, because I love to read interesting shit, and anything that might come in handy for writing/citing papers later, but my life is weird and sometimes hectic, so I don’t always get to finish reading something. Save it to omnivore, read it later. It even tracks progress.
This comes across as like an ad read, I promise it’s not. I just really like the app, and found it by asking an almost identical question a while back
I like to do this to irritate people because I have a steam deck.
“I got a steam deck for Christmas. It runs arch, btw”
Yeah, that’s what I get for not reading well enough and just busting my way through like a bull in a china shop. Lol. Lesson learned, though.
I really appreciate all your help. Honestly, it’s one of the best things about switching to Linux, since I have, any time I’ve had any issue, even minor stuff, people have jumped on the chance to help me learn and fix it. It’s been amazing. And then switching to Lemmy has just made that experience even better
