Windows has an easy toggle for enabling (system-wide) dynamic range compression (they call it "audio normalization" or something like that). It's a feature that I need in my day to day usage, yet none of the DEs I've tried have an option for enabling it. You have to install a plugin, edit pulseaudio conf files, restart pulseaudio, and in order to turn it back off there's no reliable way to do it, because volume levels get all messed up.

Why don't DE makers and distros care about this? What do you do when you need dynamic range compression?

I'm sorry about the rant, but I'm kinda tired of editing pulseaudio conf files manually, wasting time on the www looking for solutions just because I forgot some obscure detail about pulseaudio's interface.

What's your opinion?

How to find it:

1. Settings -> Panel -> Appearance

2. In the Background section, for Style select Solid color

3. Click on the rectangle next to Color

Hello fellow Linux Enthusiasts,

Like many of you, I torrent Linux distros as a way to pay back to the Linux community. The only issue I've found with torrenting distros is keeping track of when distros get released. Naturally, as a techie and developer, I didn't let this problem just sit, I solved it. I created Torrentr which helps you keep track of new distro releases by texting you when they get released. It's fully open source and you can read more about it here: https://github.com/theREALaltoid/torrentr

Are there any Linux based companies offering affiliate marketing programs? I recently started a linux page on Facebook and wonder if I can find anything related to my content to do some affiliate marketing with.

Hello everyone,

​

I have a dell xps 15 9560 with 256SSD, nvidia graphics and 16GB ram * no hdd and had few questions:

• will dual boot be possible under the hardware spec mentioned above?
• I am rooting towards Solus, Manjaro and elementary, I want to learn linux OS and so should not any proper distro help me do that?
• I am more concerned not having a hdd but rather a single 256ssd therefore, I will have to wipe out Windows completely(which I am fine with) and install fresh Linus OS?

Thank you!

​

edit: and lastly is dual boot the way to go if I might still want to run Windows alongside?

Hi folks I'm trying to keep up on options in Windows replacements for when they REALLY screw the pooch which seems to be coming and whilst I like CentOS for servers mint seems to be really nice as a desktop alternative.

Anyway I've got an old toughbook to run Win7 for the things we have which require windoze (like 2way radio programming) and only have the afor mentioned programs to find an alternative to, both of which are very heavily used.

Now much of OneNote could go back to simple files and folders but a lot of it came from notes in outlook which I don't think any linux alternatives support.

Ximian and Evolution seem decent Outlook replacements (not sure if there is better now with more options and support?) but I just can't find anything to really replace OneNote that's not a dear as poison subscription based model.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I just did a quick search today but the last real comparison was almost 2 years ago. There surely has been a ton of development since, so right now how do they compare exactly?

My Brother printer work but scanning is just painfull. So, I look for a scanner and I find the LiDE400. I read on Amazon and in some boards just bad things :( but this posts are few months old.

Any scanner which work under Linux (Kernel 5) out of box? I dont care about price, just full Linux support.

Thx

Hi,

I use Vim as a editor when editing config files and writing code. Sometimes I find a old buffer ( from yesterday maybe ) and wonder what the differences between it and the current file. I would like open a separate window with the current file on disk to the right of my current window and highlight the differences in red.

I tried to do this with the following line in .vimrc:

nnoremap <expr> <F3> indiff ? ':q<cr><C-w>j:diffoff<cr>:let indiff=0<cr>' : ':vs %<cr>:diffthis<cr><C-w>l :diffthis<cr>:let indiff=1<cr>'

​

It does open the file in diff mode but it is not the file on disk. Instead it is exactly the same as my current buffer. What would be the best way to do this?

​

Thanks
