d_k_bo,

A Free Software License is even more important. There are many great projects out there which you can’t modify etc. because the project isn’t distributed with a license (which means “all rights reserved” in most jurisdictions).

d_k_bo,

Please don’t automatically generate themes for third-party apps. If an application brings its own styles and icons, it results a weird mix of multiple styles.

If a user wants to style it themselves, they should be able to — at their own risk. But shipping (inherently broken) styles with a distro/DE misrepresents the appplication and creates unnecessary issues for the upstream developers.

d_k_bo,

Any recent application should respect the global https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/doc-org.freedesktop.portal.Settings.html setting. If it doesn’t, you should blame the app developer.

d_k_bo, (edited )

I want that individual users are able to theme my app. I don’t want that distributors and DEs automatically theme my app and expect that it still works the same.

It’s a bit like websites: I’m absolutely fine if a user wants to inject some CSS in my website. On the other hand, if a browser manufacturer decided to inject CSS into all websites to customize their look, it would be a nightmare for web developers.

d_k_bo,

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Windows, is in fact, Adware/NT, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Adware plus NT.

Fedora Silverblue

d_k_bo,

Using Arch is probably a pain in the ass

d_k_bo,

I prefer micro.

d_k_bo,

Last time I used Ubuntu Server I was annoyed by those ads for some weird canonical subscriptions. Now I use Fedora ofc.

d_k_bo,

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

d_k_bo,

HDD, which is /home

Spinning rust is slow

Have you tried to either

  1. put /home on the SSD and only larger subdirectories on the HDD
  2. set eg. XDG_CONFIG_HOME, XDG_CACHE_HOME etc. to a location on the SSD (to improve program startup time)

I have no direct comparison, but I can imagine that this could reduce the performance impact of your HDD.

d_k_bo,

You need https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-server for that.

d_k_bo,

I don’t care whether you use GNOME, KDE Plasma, Sway or Weston, as long as you use Wayland.

extensions.gnome.org/…/desktop-icons-ng-ding/

d_k_bo,

GNOME Extensions actually run in the gnome-shell process itself and can do most things that a builtin solution could offer.

They fail in some circumstances […] and behave inconsistently

That proves why they shouldn’t be part of GNOME Shell themselves. Offloading some (debatable) functionality to extensions helps keeping the core components reliable and maintainable.

Side note: there is also a DING implementation with supposedly better DnD support: …gnome.org/…/gtk4-desktop-icons-ng-ding/

d_k_bo,

If the program uses xdg-desktop-portal, the file picker isn’t provided by the toolkit but by your desktop / portal implementation.

d_k_bo,
  1. The file selection dialog is not a part of Nautilus. It is either a provided by the toolkit (e.g. Qt, GTK3, GTK4) or by a xdg-desktop-portal implementation. The GTK4 file chooser that is also used by GNOME’s portal implementation supports thumbnails since December 2022 or GNOME 44.
  2. I guess you are using an older (LTS) version of ubuntu that uses an outdated version of GTK.
d_k_bo,

Why not?

d_k_bo,

It is 3 GNOME releases behind.

d_k_bo,

Microsoft already uses ripgrep in vscode which they distribute as a proprietary build.
