TheGrandNagus, to linux in Your chosen desktop Linux defaults?

Fedora Workstation (i.e. the Gnome one)

Separate /home partition

Then the only other changes are to a few keyboard shortcuts, icons, and changing Firefox to a GTK4-style theme.

TheGrandNagus, to linux in Who uses pure GNOME (no extensions)

I use blur my shell, but I don’t really need it.

I started liking Gnome a lot more once I let go of trying to recreate the Win95 UX that pretty much everyone else uses.

It was such a pain at first, but then it just clicked and now I couldn’t go back to that clunky workflow.

I know most people like it that way, but IMO Microsoft didn’t create the perfect UX paradigm back in the early 90s

TheGrandNagus, to linux in If only more Linux programs followed sandboxing best practices...

Flatpak reduces dependency hell… and proper sandboxing has nothing to do with dependency hell.

TheGrandNagus, (edited ) to linux in New Plasma 6 Default Icon Theme Looks

Respectfully, I love how powerful KDE is but my god they can’t make things visually consistent to save their lives!

From inconsistent icons, to different KDE apps using wildly different design languages, to padding being inconsistent all throughout the DE and their apps, to fonts and their sizes kinda being all over the place

But at least a custom theme is trivial to install and solves most of it

It took a couple of weeks of irritation

So maybe it’s just not for everyone! Good thing we have plenty of options

TheGrandNagus, to risa in Starring Locutus as Edward Scissor Hands

TheGrandNagus, to linux in Fedora Linux 39 Released As A Wonderful Upgrade For Leading Workstations & Servers

People have absolutely lost their damn minds over the RH thing lol

TheGrandNagus, to risa in Bi women love Star Trek. Source me.

She gets mad horny whenever Ransom has his shirt off, then gets angry at herself for it

Convenient. Realises how thick he is then runs off.

Bye bye. Stick to your broken display stack lmao.

TheGrandNagus, to linux in What has been your experience with Flatpak?

Flatpaks have been amazing for me.

My home directory is a lot cleaner, dependency issues are a thing of the past, it’s easier on the developers, I’m getting updates faster (not having to rely on distro maintainers), my installs are more portable than before.

I wish we had Android-like permission setting, where it pops up asking if each program can use X permission as it requests it.

And I wish Gnome settings would implement some of the more basic flatseal options (flatseal can still exist for power users), although that one isn’t a shortcoming of flatpaks itself, it’s more to do with development manpower on the Gnome side.

Overall I’m really glad that one of the biggest annoyances in Linux is getting resolved. We’ve finally pretty much agreed on an app distribution and packaging standard

TheGrandNagus, to linux in What has been your experience with Flatpak?

Same on Gnome software

But I guess I agree that it should prompt you when doing it through a TUI

TheGrandNagus, to linux in 10 REASONS why Linux Mint is the desktop OS to beat in 2023

It’s reliable, customisable, everything is doable in a GUI, and has a Windows UX that people are familiar with.

You’re the one that’s slow.

This isn’t an announcement they’re moving to Wayland, Wayland has been the default for years.

It’s not irrelevant. If you’re not using Wayland, you’re using X11. Keep up.

I don’t think I can dumb this down any further to help you understand.
