It’s a Flatpak. Did you give it proper permissions to use this hardware?

What are the apps, exactly?

Windows IS a horrible OS at the technical level. It seems okay-ish from a non-technical perspective. Everything just below the surface is absolute junk. There’s a reason it’s the most exploited piece of software in history.

MS already has their own Linux distribution…

du -hsc /boot/*

Then what’s taking up all the space? If you want the tool to work, then grow the partition to get past the space limitation. Simple as that.

Remove old entries youve created with this tool, or grow that partition.

There’s no reason you should have a ton of different boot entries to snapshots.

What hostility? Are QUESTIONS hostile now?

Jesus, we’re all so cooked…

Please explain how “Windows” and “Linux” manufactured these touchpads?

Dying to know

The MacOS specific ones like zooming out to show all active windows in a workspace, or flipping to the next app aren’t there because, well…that’s MacOS specific.

All the more universal ones like pinch to zoom, scrolling…etc are all there. I actually used an Apple TouchPad for years just because I had it around. Worked fine.

You can also run a simple plugin in Gnome to map custom gestures to whatever you want if needed.

You must be using some junk touchpads then. I have two that work just as they would on a Mac. No issues.

Gnome Desktop will be the most familiar UI and workflow for you. Other than that, just take note of your existing software stack, and check to see which will also have Linux builds to install.

Not sure what someone with only 2% total vision would even be able to see, but whatever they would use on Windows has analogous tools on every DE in Linux. Just ask them what they currently use: magnification, high contrast, screen reader…etc, then set those up for them. Also make sure to get whatever hotkeys they use in their workflow as people with visual impairments rely heavily on them.

You run the instructions for Gnome already, or not at all?

And your user pattern doesn’t make my point any less correct or relevant. In fact… Not sure why you even commented in the fashion you chose to.

May want to try installing Waybar. The default one in Sway has issues like this.

You are the minutiae of users.

These types of apps became fairly irrelevant with the advent of Web Fonts and sites that already do all of this.

There’s Fontbase, Gnome’s Font Manager, KDE’s Font Viewer and FontForge that are still maintained.

The fact that you’re asking for whatever tool to not use something like QT or GTK is asking for the moon here. These types of applications you describe are generally packaged with a DE for this very use. I don’t think there’s a real use-case for someone to develop this independent of any DE, honestly. That’s what they’re most useful for.

Amarok and Rhythmbox are close. Most players you’ll find are less on the media management side as they want to be low-profile, where Musicbee seems to intentionally be both.

Edit: There’s Strawberry as well, which is cross platform

Just to help her: what do you think PopOS is going to give you that Fedora will not?
