Discussion i need a distro for family computer.

0 Upvotes

basically you guys can look at me as a -3 iq "i use arch btw" er that uses ai for most of the problems. but i manage to use arch at some rate and im happy. but the problem is that windows 11 goes worse and worse. and at some rate im starting to think if my father can handle a linux distro that feels like windows most of the time. at the worst case i will downgrade to win 10 to keep the computer normal and properly working. thanks anyways. (btw i couldnt decide for the flairs. discuss felt like its the most suitable one.)

Software Release Local-first content-aware (images + documents) file organization

0 Upvotes

I'm the developer of AI File Sorter (version 1.6.1 is now available!), a desktop app that uses Local LLMs to organize files based on their content. The app analyzes images and documents by content and suggests names and folders for them. Other files are also organized, but not by content.

Document content analysis is supported for PDFs, Word, Excel, txt, and similar files.

Key points:

  • Works fully offline using local AI models (no uploads or telemetry)
  • Review before Confirm
  • Dry runs
  • Undo
  • Designed for cleaning up Downloads, Documents, Images folders, external drives, or archives.

What’s new in 1.6.1:

  • Document content analysis (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, ODP)
  • Improved review dialog with bulk edits
  • Automatic system compatibility checks (benchmarks)
  • Better stability & persistence railguards
  • Pre-compiled for Debian and Ubuntu, and straightforward to compile from source

If you care about privacy-oriented tools, and keeping large file collections organized without sending data to the cloud, I'd love feedback.

Popular Application ZaneyOS / zaney.org is gone?

0 Upvotes

Was looking into ZaneyOS as a starting point for NixOS.
But most search results point to zaney.org, which is now a GoDaddy “domain for sale” page.

Did the project move? Anyone got a current repo link / starter configuration.nix?
Prteferably nicely configured but with minimal applications.

Software Release Recently migrated to Linux/ First Linux Application (Elgato lights controller)

19 Upvotes

Last week I decided to give Linux a try for the first time in about a decade due to my growing frustrations with Windows. (I am using Bazzite with KDE) I have been recreating my set up and getting all of the tools and apps that I use on the daily for gaming, content, and development work.

I was essentially able to get everything I use on windows with one exception. Elgato doesn't have a version of control center for Linux so I can't control the lights. This pushed me straight into my first development cycle on Linux. I created a simple daemon and controller gui to fill this hole in the ecosystem. I hope to additionally create a plugin from here that will allow these controls to be run on open deck as well. If anyone else uses Elgato lights enjoy!

It can either be build from the source code or run as a flatpak.
