it needs to be manually set, but a script to run this when you launch the app/game maybe?

Spectacle from KDE is also a pretty good default

Appflowy might not be there yet, but it is improving fast

here is an alternative on peertube https://tilvids.com/w/9CNwZ3uDKZJK1NeGsZDgkS

I like your “the glass is half full” attitude, however their signup seems to be broken.

So I tested Remmina some more, and yea, my expectations for the exec plugin were broken. It only runs commands locally, I really thought it was for sending saved commands remotely.

I guess ARD is king, at least from the solutions I know of. Personally, I achieve the “see all screens (or well ssh connections)” and the “send command across all connections” with tmux. And if I need RDP, SPICE or VNC, I use Remmina.

Windows users can use Royal TS, but that is paid and proprietary.

This is more of a hammer as a screwdriver problem, where everyone decided to use chat software as a forum.

maybe, allthough I need to test ARD to see how they do it.

Remmina allows you to run a command on connect, or set up individual commands to execute

Looks like Endless Sky is under GPL license, so definitely FOSS

There is a plugin called shuffle+ (github)

I think no one likes the default shuffle in spotify. (“oh here is a list of 400 songs on shuffle, you probably only want to replay these 30 songs” - spotify)

Veloren is great, there is also Mindustry and Shattered Pixel Dungeon to name a couple of high quality ones.

Something like Revolt could maybe be a replacement for discord

“Maps”: as others have suggested: OsmAnd and OrganicMaps (I use OsmAnd as it covers my needs better than Google Maps or other apps)

“Dating Apps”: There is Alovoa

but the problem is who you will find on there, as everyone is on other apps

I use spicetify just to get an improved shuffle function.

like Remmina?

I wish there were more Open Source games.

I would love to see an Open Source alt to AlchemyRPG

I love using their scenes when playing DnD online, but their privacy policy leaves a lot to be desired

appflowy.io is getting really good as a notion replacement

Only thing I can think of is by adding the repo you get updates with your system. This makes it more secure by having patched software.

It might not be good advice, but that was not what OP asked for.

My comment was meant as a beginner-friendly way to install Mullvad VPN on Ubuntu, and not unsolicited advice telling them to learn something that should not be needed for daily computer usage. And while adding the repo might be the better solution, that would require the use of the terminal, and as multiple people have proven to me, that wouldn’t be a friendly way to introduce Linux to someone just starting out.

You don’t teach someone to swim, by dropping them in the middle of the pacific.
