i onky use minor stuff, like a tray and rounded corners on legacy applications.

selokichtli, (edited ) in Who uses pure GNOME (no extensions)

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…

They successfully applied the gnome design guidelines.

fafok20662,

Yikes it looks just like a mobile or tablet.

Spotlight7573,

And that’s a bad thing?

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.

What would you want it to look like instead?

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.

shea,

looking nice and readable is just cool and good

Linux users (sometimes):

sees an extremely user-friendly interface - so good that everyone and their grandma can use it perfectly right away without any explanation

“Ugh, why doesn’t this look more complicated?”

Edit: This was in response to someone commenting “Why does it look like toddler UI?”. The comment seems to be deleted now.

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.

atzanteol, (edited ) in Filesystem mirroring: best backup tool?

rsync is ubiquitous and the standard for this type of job.

rsync -rav --delete --progress --exclude=ignore_dir source-dir user@host:remote_dir

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.

7u5k3n, in Linux Distribution Timeline

Started on Ubuntu in 09. - got the CD in the mail On kubuntu now

Ive bounced around all over arch, Manjaro, fedora, pop_os, mint but I always come back to kubuntu.

It just works for me.

TCB13, in New Plasma 6 Default Icon Theme Looks
@TCB13@lemmy.world avatar

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?

adam_b, in If only more Linux programs followed sandboxing best practices...

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 )

Next up is user rating and comments…

just_another_person, in Clevo Laptop doesnt boot any Linux USB sticks? partitions not found, fstab errors and all?

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.

tun,

Ventoy USB can be created to work both in Legacy and UEFI. It is also very easy to add more distributions later.

Pantherina,

I have not yet Coreboot installed. Its the stock BIOS, I need to test that laptop before possibly bricking it ;D

just_another_person,
Pantherina,

Weird thing is the sticks boot, but they crap out because drives where no mounted

PumpkinDrama, (edited ) in CLI tools to quickly find recently opened files by fuzzy search?

Related idea:

reddthat.com/post/7516312

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.

WuTang, in Linux holds more than 8% market share in India, and it's on the upward trend
@WuTang@lemmy.ninja avatar

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”.

West is full of cowards and traitors .
