Can you tell me more? Is it FOSS? Is it electron? Is it a UI for a folder of markdown files? Is there a native android app? What is “native” syncing? Do I have to pay for some kind of cloud?

In case anyone is interested, AppImage won’t launch in Q4OS 5.8 (debian based distro), errors are GCC_13.0.0 not found and GLIBC_2.38 not found (which is surprising, I thought appimages ship all required packages together.

Thanks, gotta try this!

Well, there’s Markor on android, so even without a dedicated android app, I can use Helix Notes + syncthing + Markor on the phone and ditch obsidian if it’s good.

Yeah it’s free, I just meant “foss”, I didn’t mean to say obsidian isn’t free.

Also I use syncthing, so I don’t care about built-in sync as long as it’s just a folder of files on my file system.

Do I get it right that this is like Obsidian, but free and open source?

How does it compare to Obsidian? Does it have note linking using square brackets?

Not to be rude or anything like that, where I’m going is not the “we already have obsidian, why you made this” but “currently obsidian is one of the few non-FOSS things I use in Linux, would be happy to replace obsidian with this if it’s a good substitute”.

I don’t use obsidian plugins, so I understand that HelixNotes doesn’t have this whole plugin ecosystem and can’t replace obsidian for people that rely on plugins, but for me it’s fine.

Is android app coming?

Linked track is unavailable to me :-(

Flatpak:

Sucks

User:

Comes to linux community to complain

Maybe try submitting an issue to flatpak devs, contribute to it, or stop using it if it doesn’t work for you?

I never used flatpak and have no issues with drag and drop.

Maybe you should just disable rounded corners entirely if you want to avoid “holes” between windows?

Isn’t it because corners are rounded, so even if you snap edges of 4 windows perfectly, their “corners” won’t align because they are rounded?

Could you help me with GPU passthrough?

I technically have 2 GPUs in my laptop, one integrated into intel CPU and one discrete nvidia (so called “optimus”). Is it possible to pass nvidia while keeping intel for linux DE?

I tried to read some tutorials but tbh they all leave more questions than give answers.

Gnome can’t ship a config to disable secondary selection because there is no secondary selection.

Nobody is removing it?…

Never even thought of that, but this is genious.

Maybe using ctrl for that is not the best decision, but I understand this was just a showcase. I wish this actually existed and was used in real desktop environments.

It’s not a link, it’s a text post with nothing but title.

Apps?

These are websites.

Not a solution you want, but consider custom compose key sequences for repetitive text.

Plasma 6.6.0

Using a game controller will now count as “activity”, stopping the system from automatically going to sleep or locking the screen. (Yelsin Sepulveda, KDE bug #328987)

Finally, just 12 years after the bug was reported. Thanks.

Omg why did I never know about this?!

I feel you mate.

If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your rank / region in dota?
