KDE: Force color scheme for single application (feddit.org)
 

I'm on Nobara Linux (with KDE6) using a dark theme. I'm using Unity Mod Manager on some games, which, with my current configuration has unreadable text on buttons etc because the text color is the same as the button-background.

When I switch the color in the settings to a light-mode theme like Breeze, everything in Unity Mod Manager becomes perfectly readable.

How do I force a single application to use light mode and/or a specific color-scheme?

The last time I used the power toys was on W10 but can't you choose which components you install? Surely you can disable the autostart for the ones you are not using?

Last Epoch players turn on the action RPG for announcing a paid DLC class, tanking its Steam reviews: 'go play Path of Exile instead' in c/games@lemmy.world

Grim Dawn was completed before the devs started releasing DLC. Last Epoch, apparently, still has severe bugs and unfinished content.

Additionally 2 of 3 DLCs in Grim Dawn are more akin to olden timey expansions rather than modern cash-grab DLC.

The official GoG listing definitely mentions the Linux version. Just like every other game on GoG that has a Linux versions available.

equivalent of Process Monitor for Linux (feddit.org)
 

I wanted to move my savegame for Mainframe Defenders from my windows to linux. Unfortunately I was unable to figure out where the game expects the savegame.

Is there some equivalent of Process Monitor to figure out where the game writes my savegame to?

Looking for a 2025 recommendation for a phone with a headphone jack in c/android@lemmy.world

I know these DACs are awesome. But I really like the option to plug directly into the phone. Especially since the only reason not to have that is so that Apple and Samsung can sell you crappy, overpriced Bluetooth buds.

I always tried to avoid Samsung because of the amount of crapware pre-installed. Are the rugged versions better in this regard?

Only the Teracube seems to have a headphone jack, and as far as I can tell the Volla X23 would be the better option in every category.

That one looks amazing, thank you! Not sure I can hold out until December though.

Well to be fair, it's mostly flac. Which isn't exactly reasonable to have on a phone, but it serves as an extra backup.
And I see no reason why a new phone can't do something my nearly a decade old phone could do.

Filtering to Android models that came out in 2025 yields 250 results.

Are you referring to the headphone jack or the sd card slot? Because geizhals.de shows 144 models having both running Android 15, ranging from 1500€ to under 100€ in price. Looks like plenty of options to me.

Looking for a 2025 recommendation for a phone with a headphone jack (feddit.org)
 

My venerable Moto G5 has developed multiple independent problems. Thus I'm in the marked for a new phone and I'm looking for suggestions.

I don't have many requirements, but those are non-negotiable:

  1. Must have a headphone jack
  2. Must have expandable storage (AFAIK that still means an SD card slot)

Bonus points for:
3) a large battery
4) not being from a chinese company
5) not having that ridiculous array of cameras on the back that seems to be common nowadays (I do want to be able take photos, but they don't have to be good)
6) not having a selfie camera that is built into the screen
7) being a rugged / outdoors phone (which seems to correlate with point 3)
8) allows for an alternative OS, or maybe even comes with one preinstalled.

Price doesn't really matter beyond me not wanting to get ripped off.

I already looked around a bit and found a couple of options:
a) Volla Phone X23: German company, comes with the option of their Android spin-off or Ubuntu Touch. Even has a replaceable battery. But the screenshot of the spin-off don't look like it would be for me and Ubuntu Touch doesn't seem to be quite there yet
b) AGM H5 Pro: from Portugal, a rugged phone, but only comes with Android 12 and I found no information on which version it can updated to. Also since it's kinda niche, I guess I can't put a non-google Android on it.
c) Moto G56: upgrade from what I have now. Back then I chose a Motorola because I was told I comes with the least amount of garbage pre-installed, is this still true?
I couldn't find it in the list of models LineageOS supports, but since a lot of other models are listed I attribute that to the G56 being new, right?
d) hopefully you can give me some better options

Thank you!

How to install a default collection of tools when upgrading / reinstalling (feddit.org)
 

I'm getting ready to switch but there are a few things that I could not figure out how to do optimally. Here's one of those, maybe you can help me with that:

For the past 30 years on Windows when I found a new application I wanted to use I put it in D:\Tools. Almost all applications don't actually need to be installed even if they are only distributed in an installer. That meant that to move my tool collection to a new computer I pull out the D-Drive, mount it in the new computer as D and I'm instantly ready to go.

On Linux there are 2 scenarios flatpak or traditional Package Manager distributions.

For flatpaks putting them on a specific drive seems easy enough.

But how do I handle applications that are not (yet?) available as a flatpak? I tried Nix but decided I'm not ready for that. I could put everything in a bash script but that seems clumsy and would be work to maintain. Is there any other clever way to avoid manually installing my defaults when I updgrade / reinstall my OS?

Which Mouse / Keyboard is fully supported on Linux? (feddit.org)
 

My venerable Logitech Mouse a is nearing the end of it's life and I'm thinking about a replacement. Since I have no plans to switch my Gaming PC to Windows 11 I would like to have a mouse (and eventually a keyboard) that properly supports Linux.

I looked at the sites for Corsair, Logitech and Razer and the corresponding software is available for Windows (and sometimes MacOS for some reason) but no Linux Version.

Since I actually use some of the fancy Gaming-Gear functionality like setting up macros and variable DPI I'd like to use the software that is used to set these things up.
How do you guys deal with this?
Is there a manufacturer that offers their software for Linux?
Do these things run properly under Wine?
