# type onedrive to register/connect with your MSft OneDrive account 

brew services start onedrive 

Tailscale:
 

brew install tailscale
tailscale up --ssh # flag permits ssh access
tailscale ssh <tailscale node name>

 

Kmymoney: need prefix to disable video acceleration: 

QMLSCENE_DEVICE=softwarecontext QT_OPENGL=software kmymoney (last could be flatpak run org.kde.mymoney)


 

Toolbox (good pattern: use to compile Stockfish...but can now do in custom image):

toolbox create

toolbox enter

sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" 

sudo dnf in gcc-c++ 

Cron Replacement: https://fedoramagazine.org/systemd-timers-for-scheduling-tasks/ 

systemctl --user stop schedule-test.timer 

systemctl --user disable schedule-test.timer 

systemctl --user stop schedule-test.service 

systemctl --user disable schedule-test.service 

systemctl --user daemon-reload 

systemctl --user reset-failed


systemctl --user enable schedule-test.service
systemctl --user enable schedule-stockfish.service 

 

systemctl --user enable schedule-test.timer

systemctl --user enable schedule-test-two.timer
systemctl --user enable schedule-stockfish.timer

systemctl --user start schedule-test.timer

systemctl --user start schedule-test-two.timer

systemctl --user start schedule-stockfish.timer

systemctl --user status schedule-test 

systemctl --user list-unit-files

Pycharm:

Download the Jetbrains toolbox: JetBrains Toolbox App: Manage Your Tools with Ease (already installed with Bluefin-dx....just run it)

Untar it and run the command, that will install a helper app for you that will let you install PyCharm. It will also download and configure all the python things you need via virtual environments, or conda, etc. There’s no need to mess with system stuff for this, the pycharm toolbox keeps everything in your home directory so it’s nice and neat.

Rebase:
rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin-dx:stable-daily

rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin-dx-nvidia-open:stable-daily

 

To update all distrobox apps:
distrobox upgrade --all

Rstudio (now part of my custom image):
create a distrobox environment as above, enter it, and then:

sudo dnf copr enable iucar/rstudio # enables this repo 

sudo dnf install R rstudio-desktop # for RStudio Desktop

 

Chezmoi (for managing dotfiles):

Good overview of ways to install software (other than Gnome Software app):

Compile program and create desktop icon:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-repo/your-project.git
cd your-project

# Create a distrobox (e.g., Fedora)
distrobox create -n fedora-dev -i fedora:latest

# Enter the distrobox
distrobox enter fedora-dev

# Install dependencies (inside the distrobox)
sudo dnf install gcc make gcc-c++

# Compile the code (inside the distrobox)
make

# Run the program (inside the distrobox)
./your-program

 

Create Desktop file for gui compiled in distrobox (put in .local/share/applications folder):

[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Version=1.0 Name=VSCode (Distrobox) Comment=Code Editing. Redefined. Exec=sh -c 'distrobox enter ubuntu-23-04 -- code' GenericName=Text Editor Icon=com.visualstudio.code Keywords=vscode; Categories=TextEditor;Development;IDE; Terminal=false StartupNotify=true
