I do. I miss the system tray, to be honest. My way to deal with it is to just push applications I need running all the time to the last workspace and leave this alone. Sometimes I close them unintendedly, oh well…
The desktop is finally catching up with the more restrictive permissions model where an app doesn’t just have the ability to do anything the user can do but instead only has access to what it needs.
Going with a familiar interface style like the ones people already use on mobile just makes sense.
I’m not a fan of all the blank space in their design language, it doesn’t look bad or anything but I don’t have a touch screen and having to move the mouse around so much for long periods of time physically hurts, especially on laptops.
I wish it was more… desktop friendly… If they took more advantage of the dynamic layout capabilities of GTK4 to have a better desktop layout based on their already existing design language while still having this mobile esk layout for other devices, we’d be golden.
If they don’t want to do that, they should at least increase the default mouse speed so it feels better out of the box.
Haha so true, and I say this as a Linux user for like 20 years. There are some Linux users who value functionality over form so much that they prefer cluttered user interfaces with tiny borders to maximize screen space.
I use mostly pure GNOME on my PC. The missing system tray is very annoying, though I really don’t care about the missing dock or desktop icons. I start programs by searching for them, not by clicking on a desktop icon or in a dock. That’s my preferred method. And the alt+tab menu of GNOME is nice enough to find anything when I need it, together with having workspaces to organize everything.
I tried KDE, but it just felt more messy to me. For instance, I tried to move the bottom bar to the side of my screen, accidentally moved something on the bar itself, and then everything looked off and I couldn’t figure out how to get it back. It all felt a bit janky and unrefined. On some systems I also use i3, but that’s only for productivity. For daily use I prefer GNOME, where everything just seems to work.
SSH is used to connect. Ownership, symlinks, etc. are preserved. Add more “excludes” to filter out more directories. Do your first run without " delete" to make sure things are going where you want.
If you want “backups” I would suggest something more sophisticated. But for just cloning this is the way.
Still garbage. Why is it so hard for the KDE guys to actually design something simple that makes sense? Starting with proportions and spacing between elements that they seem to be unaware of?
The verified feature on flathub is a double edged sword, it makes me lean towards verified apps, even if the alternative is better and made by the original Dev ( but they just didn’t verify themselves )
My gut here is saying you have a mismatched combo of how Coreboot is treating these, and how they are written. From what I’m reading, Coreboot should support Legacy, UEFI, or SeaBIOS, so go set that in the BIOS setup, then make absolutely sure your disks are being written as such (NOT mbr). Ventoy should be the tool to use here for testing different distros out, so good on finding that.
To manage temporary files in Linux, a Bash script can move files untouched for 10 days to a timestamped subfolder, return modified files to the root, and delete files not modified for 90 days. Alternatively, a folder with symlinks to recently accessed files can be created using mkdir, find with -atime -7 to locate recently accessed files, and a while loop with ln -s to symlink each file into the folder. Both approaches help organize files based on access time to avoid clutter and remove stale temporary files. The Bash script offers more automation while the symlink folder provides a manual way to access recent files.
Sure, as our European businesses - under management of big IT groups - are using indian’s sweatshop - that we have to train moreover!!! - for implementation and operational projects. I don’t say there’s not skilled indian, of course not, but they got a “shortcut”.
