Hey guys, I’ve been running Mint on my home computer for a little while now and I’m having a great time, however there’s one behaviour from Windows I’m missing. When you hit win + arrows to snap the currently focussed window to the left or right half of the screen, windows will present a dialogue to select a companion...
Neither GNOME nor Plasma depend on NetworkManager, do they?
Not directly, but distros may choose to create a dependency.
On Debian, installing recommended dependencies is enabled by default and disabling them can lead to all sorts of errors and missing functionality.
gnome-shell recommends gnome-control-center, which recommends network-manager-gnome, which depends on network-manager.
So unless you go out of your way to install a very minimal system, it gets pulled in.
When I updated Debian Unstable 2 days ago, it forced me to uninstall isc-dhcp-client in order to upgrade network-manager.
So I looked up the reason and found the ISC’s blog post. I shared it here thinking it might be interesting to some, since Debian’s packages are the basis for a lot of other distros that might be affected soon.
This morning it was working, and while it was turning off it was taking way too long and I forced-shut it off (hold power button), so afterwards when I would turn it on this would happen, I think that has to do with the problem....
Ask Lemmy is a place to ask thought provoking questions. The mods have been lenient with some of the recent posts on the basis that they must provoke thought for some people, but after seeing two posts essentially saying “what do you think of my stick?”, I believe we can raise the bar a bit on what kind of thoughts we want...
Without moderation, all the trolls who got banned elsewhere will congregate, then everyone else leaves, then the trolls get bored cause there’s no one to troll and leave, too.
I heard PETA also started the plague and fellated Hitler.
Seriously, the campaign against PETA must be one of the most successful examples of propaganda in history. Even people whose views are aligned with the goals and actions of PETA hate PETA. Because they’ve read somewhere (but can’t quite remember where) that PETA are evil hypocrites, deny the holocaust and kill animals for fun.
They were called in by the owner of the trailer park to capture wild dogs and cats
They encounter a dog running around without a leash or any supervision
They capture it, as instructed by the landlord, who owns the property
The only thing they really did do wrong was not wait the mandatory 5 days before they put the dog down.
But the reality is: If you’re running the only animal shelter around that won’t turn away animals, you’ll be forced (by law) to euthanize a lot of them. What else are you going to do? You can’t just let the animals loose, no one else will take them and more are coming in daily.
PETA is catching flak for carrying out the consequence of people breeding and then abandoning dogs, which is the real crime.
I think you could install your system using a generic kernel, package it up as ISO and just boot it on basically any other machine with the same architecture. Proprietary bits like NVidia driver and firmware could pose a problem.
That’s basically what a live USB is.
Isn’t it weird what people get worked up about?
Just keep using X11 with twm, SysV init, LILO and Alsa on your 32bit BIOS IBM Thinkpad.
It all still works, and YOU can keep it maintained yourself, that’s the beauty of FOSS.
both Linux operating systems have 1. A friendly user interface, 2. A hidden terminal, and 3. A locked down root user, to avoid dangerous actions!! Why do people seem to dislike Android when Ubuntu is similar to it??
I hate moving windows around.
All windows open maximized without window decorations. Meta+WSAD moves the active window to the upper/lower/left/right half of the screen.
Meta+PgDown minimizes, Meta+PgUp maximizes. Meta+Q tiles windows horizontally, Meta+E vertically. Meta+X closes the window, Meta+Spacebar shows the desktop, Meta alone shows the workspace overview.
Fuck hunting for window borders, clicking and dragging. And fuck configuring all this in a text file.
Is it shallow, or petty, to decide based on name alone? Yeah, pretty much, but there’s probably something, a product or service or site, that the name has made you gloss right over it or jump to it ASAP....

change my mind: Ubuntu does the same thing as Android
