Basically I'm interested but 99% of my screen time is on desktop, so I wanted to ask if there is any roadmap about a fully functional web interface? Anyone knows? Right now the website is just a dashboard to manage my account and nothing else, at least for me.

I will buy you a metric ton of milk jugs if you make the switch

I have started to actively avoid brands, journalists etc. who still use Twitter as their primary social media presence.

One important thing to add is that the refund is offered by Valve, not by Rockstar.

Watch live TV.

In my country (Australia) live TV is ad-infested and most programs are reality TV garbage, so I stay away from it. I use a combination of Freetube + Peertube and it works for me.

ah cool, yeah I also hide the top bar but I'm using this one https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/545/hide-top-bar/ your one looks more flexible I might try

the dash to dock extension looks nice I will give it a go as well

Thanks!

Any suggestions about Gnome extensions?

I use Gnome on a 42" tv the only thing I've done is increasing zoom level since the couch is a bit far from the screen. In the browser I set up the new tab screen to have big icons that link to some of my bookmarks, using a browser extension. That's all I've done compared to a vanilla setup. I have been using that for a few years with no issues but curious about how I could improve my experience!

I use a browser on a desktop OS (Linux). I get what you mean that a browser on the tv is not nice UX, but there are some things you can do to improve the experience such as

  • bumping up the default zoom level (I prefer to do that at the OS level rather than in the browser settings so it also makes menus, buttons and other UI elements bigger)

  • getting one of those small wireless keyboards with integrated touchpad. The one I use is from Logitech and the batteries last for months.

Not everything is in the browser, I have downloaded a few desktop apps from Flathub (Freetube for watching Youtube, unofficial Spotify client etc).

The level of freedom you get from a desktop OS is so great that I would never go back to a “tv box” like Apple TV and similar things (I tried those and concluded they weren’t for me).

@[email protected] That extension is more for freehand drawing. For pre-made shapes and diagrams, you can use the Draw .io extension instead:

Freehand drawing: https://joplinapp.org/plugins/plugin/io.github.personalizedrefrigerator.js-draw/

Draw .io: https://joplinapp.org/plugins/plugin/com.github.marc0l92.joplin-plugin-drawio/

Joplin also has a drawing plugin called Freehand Drawing.
