I like Fossify’s, but I won’t recommend it - it has no predictive text and no symbols on its main keyboard, the first which is a huge deal for almost everyone. Not sure if they’re working on those or if it will never get those features, because if it had those two it would be the perfect keyboard because it’s so great in every other sense.

Not sure if my memory is failing already but I no longer see those “Update portage before anything else” messages.

When something tries to overwrite stuff in /etc and you have to etc-update your shit… that’s when things get real

As a long time KDE user I have to agree with you.

I hated the turn things took from Gnome3 onwards but I really like the “workspaces per demand” feature of it. It makes much more sense than having a static number of virtual desktops.

Though I concede KDE did not do much about virtual desktops but concentrated on activities instead - but it seems like with Plasma 6 they are backpedalling on that as it would require integration from everyone, most of all non KDE apps to make it make sense.

Do not even get me started on not being able to set a different wallpaper for each virtual desktop.

I recall there was a kwin script somewhere to emulate the dynamic virtual desktops thing, but that would be much better if it was an upstream feature.

I’d like to know which one is creating /.Trash-1000. Yes, at the root folder. No, I don’t have any other OS installed in this system but linux

I installed Fedora on a MacBook pro. It works well, though the camera doesn’t work and bt is bonky, to say the least - but I couldn’t care less about that.

Of course it’s a good thing, but it’s not something Gentoo is particuarly goot at it (nor any distro, that is) but its detractors claim Gentoo says is “lean on resources” only to “debunk” that.

And the myth that is “supercomplicated”, but in the end the only “difficult” part is to install it - in the daily, pedestrian usage it’s pretty much like any other (rolling release) distro. Well, of course except package installation/update times, but it’s beyond to me why people created that false urgency of needing to have everything installed and updated the second you issued the command. It’s not like you won’t be able to use your computer at all while Portage does its thing.

Apparently you can use the USE FLAGS to determine what stuff you want and it’s meant to be even more lean on resources.

True and false; the “something special” in Gentoo is that you can tailor it to fit to your needs, and as far as I know no other distro comes even close - maybe the now almost defuct Funtoo. The “it’s more lean on resources” always seemed to me like a strawman people don’t like it came up with to diss on Gentoo.

Not a fan of semi-serif fonts, and not digging the rounded “corners” on E and L (while having sharp ones in l and I), but it seems it is trying to be highly readable so indeed it should be great for UI stuff. And doing a complete typeface covering such huge character map is no easy job.

I mean, iOS is not doing better in that sense. They both are already mature systems and I think it would be great if they concentrate in polishing and perfecting what they already have (and hope AOSP doesn’t fall into the AI crap) but I guess that’s just me.

It depends on who you ask. If you ask this to a M$ refugee, they will praise it. If you ask a *BSD user, they will bitch about it.

Kinda like it, and mostly because it’s FOSS, but will keep using “Home Launcher” (app.homelauncher, 28.0.28):

• Allows to tie gestures to certain actions, though it still can’t bind double tap on an empty area of the screen to turn it off. I wish either one had this option
• Won’t distort the icons in any way besides their sizing, as Ion Launcher does
• Lets to set another icon for any app
• Can hide apps from the drawer

The miraculous solution to this bug so we can use a different wallpaper on each virtual desktop, like in the ol’ KDE4.x days

Great, now the next time I use nano I surely will forget about this and get frustrated when trying to save a file with Ctrl+O

The problem I had with nano is that, for the time being, it was supposed to be easy to use. With that in account I always get lost when saving a file and closing the thing because one’s used to doing something else with Ctrl+O and Ctrl+X.

Whereas with Vim (and Neovim for a little while, and now with Vis) I knew it had a steep learning curve from the start so I always had it in mind. And all the funny stories about quitting vim.

First and foremost, that my hardware peripherals work with it (wifi card, camera, bt stuff if you have it…) - if not (and hope you don’t nor would be frustrated by it happens), that there’s a way to make it work

I got a 1ii and though LineageOS works great compared to stock, it still has its downsides - on the top of my head screen mirroring is lost and since LOS21 can’t make Magisk w/ zigisk work.

Karbon is even worse - it’s been more than 10 years without any improvement whatsoever. It’s in a zombie state. This very blog post reveals it:

Karbon didn’t received much change outside of the one affecting the whole platform

I wish Karbon (and Calligra in general) had much more support because it has so much potential and offline office suites are still a thing. Remember that Krita came out of Calligra/KOffice.

Not sure if it’s just me but since 24.x I no longer can launch it with the calculator key from my keyboard.

I set it in Settings, and it works for the active session, but the moment I restart the computer or the session it won’t launch again.

I mean, if the intention is to reflect the utterly bad decisions Mozilla has made, this new logo would be spot on

I liked the icon only (“mac-style”) layout they had in KDE 4.
