Please let it not be blue! Rather default to Linux black with white text!

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

The folder “Notes” and the folder “Library” literally could be anything. There’s no way you show that to any user and they guess the name correct.

And this is the problem I have with all of the icons used in menu’s throughout KDE. I don’t know what the hell they are supposed to be! Even more so as the eyesight gets worse with age.

This is why I don’t use KDE.

You can change icon theme in kde.

corytheboyd, (edited ) in CLI tools to quickly find recently opened files by fuzzy search?
@corytheboyd@kbin.social avatar

fzf? https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

Out of the box, would only help searching shell commands that have been run, so for files, things like “vim file.txt”, which is obviously not usually how files are edited (you’d use the file browser in a text editor or IDE)

However if you find a way to list all files on your system by modified time, you can pipe it to fzf for a slick fuzzy find search.

Maybe ag would work here too: https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher

I can’t tell you the number of times I have in fact edited files using vim even with a WM and DE. I just treat my laptop like it’s a server I connect directly to now

Oh, or even better how many times I used the terminal in VSC to vim edit something 😂

You what mate? Don’t assume my workflow. “vi file.txt” is obviously superior to clicking inside some texteditor or file browser

  • btrfs unless I know I’m not gonna use it that much (might check out bcachefs soon)
  • Kitty as the terminal, life is better without fancy multiplexers
  • Firefox
  • fastfetch > neofetch
  • zsh without oh-my-zsh
  • https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tbsm as DM (if available)
  • Hyprland as the WM
  • Plasma if I have to use a DE
  • Swapfile instead of partition so I don’t risk losing my data if I don’t have enough memory (haven’t checked out ZRAM yet) Welp that changed quickly, ZRAM looks insane
  • GRUB as bootloader, also a separate install for every distro, kinda just out of fear that I’ll break it somehow
offspec,

I tried to use kitty but I have to ssh in to remote machines often for work, usually one of a few hundred edge devices, and I can’t configure them all to work properly with it. Is solid ssh support just not a deal breaker for others?

backhdlp,
@backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I never had a reason to use SSH after I switched to Kitty.

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

Does it have to be sandboxed?

IverCoder, (edited )

An app should not be able to access stuff the user did not consent to letting access.

    Software supply chain attacks exist, you know?

    IverCoder, (edited )

    Well, no matter how I trust my photo editing app, it has no business accessing my thesis documents. Proper filesystem sandboxing does security properly.

    SuperIce,

    Even if I trust the app, it may have security bugs. Still better to have it sandboxed.

    mdurell,

    I would argue this is only for apps you CAN trust. Bad actors gonna act badly.

    stella,

    Isn’t that what file system permissions are for?

    IverCoder, (edited )

    The file picker API is there to allow apps to access and save files with the user’s consent, while bot having any filesystem access. So a properly sandboxed app would be able to open, edit, and save files wherever the user wants, while not having access to any other irrelevant files, such as your .bashrc or memes folder.

    This makes alot of sense I’ll imagine the folk using Linux aren’t using it out of choice but out of necessity due to linux being kinder to older hardware

    That explains the popularity of “unknown OS” but not why it swings so wildly

    XTornado,

    Uhm what’s re they using for this report… I would have assumed they would have gone with just taking the User Agent and similar which I guess that wouldn’t matter on the modifications you say.

  • XTornado,

    Yeah sure but you usually fake a real existing one so it would go into one of the categories not the Unknown.

    kalleboo, (edited )

    The biggest spikes look like the correspond to new year. So my guess is that the spikes are vacations and show the difference between home PC and office PC usage.

    You can see the same spikes on e.g. Googles IPv6 chart - when people are away from work IPv6 penetration goes up, when people are at work it goes down.

    Sir_Simon_Spamalot,

    Damn, that’s a lot, and within a year too!

    Also, at least half of that ‘unknown’ is probably Linux too.

    Whoa, BSD predates V7? I had no idea.

    I’ve been meaning to set up an 11 running 2BSD…

    perishthethought,

    I did enjoy that, but look what you’ve done to my productivity.

    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…

    Treczoks, in I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

    Inkscape for drawing vector images.

    Loads of command line tools to process PDF files, like extracting images or text.

    All those tools for automated processing of data, including script languages like perl.

    The MediaWiki engine that allows me to run a local wiki at home for my hobby.

    merci3, in Vanilla OS 2 Orchid will be released "very soon"

    Really like this distro, waiting for Orchid so I can finally stop hopping

    just_another_person, (edited )

    Want to lay down a few of those reasons? Hard to tell with all the marketing hype WHAT exactly this distro is unique for, and why people should bother trying.

    Edit: found this which answered my questions. distrowatch.com/weekly-mobile.php?issue=20230116#…

    TeryVeneno,

    There’s the link you posted but there’s also a lot more, I think the latest blog post on their site (as of this comment) has all the new stuff. I recommend checking that out for up to date info.

    candle_lighter,

    It’s an immutable distro that simplifies running Android apps and containers for software from other distributions. It uses it’s own tool for immutability called ABRoot that also allows you to safely install native packages when needed.

    merci3,

    Oh, I was getting ready to answer you but it seems like candle_lighter already did it for me, and you managed to find your own answers :)

    To put it in few words: I just like how Vanilla’s implementation of immutability makes it so simple to use.

    ExLisper, in I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

    vim !!

    PedroG14,

    Neovim too!

    cobra89, in systemd 255-rc1 Brings "Blue Screen of Death" Support and New Tool To Spawn VMs

    Hibernation into swap files backed by Btrfs are now supported.

    I know Btrfs people have been waiting for this for quite a while.

    gbrlsnchs,

    This has been a thing since Linux kernel version 5.0.
