TheGrandNagus,

Yeah no. Your typical worker arriving on a ship would not have been fat/overweight, and it’s unlikely that typical native Americans looked like they spent serious time in a gym lol

I also dunno why you’d think only Europeans have age-related hair loss

TheGrandNagus,

Despite running an incredibly busy bar/restaurant/holosuite parlour, as well as dabbling in other legitimate businesses, Quark still finds the time to smuggle in a shitload of contraband.

He has the lobes for business.

TheGrandNagus,

Hold on a second, that’s not Gandalf

TheGrandNagus,

That doesn’t even make sense lmao

Here even iPhone users predominantly use WhatsApp to communicate with each other.

Stop pretending you know how this market works. You don’t.

TheGrandNagus,

What you said was bullshit lol

iMessage is barely used

TheGrandNagus,

I did. Guess what? You’re still full of shit. iMessage isn’t used. It’s like internet explorer.

TheGrandNagus,

I very much do. Nobody uses iMessage lol

Gnome is extremely productive, the workflow is amazing, much better than the Win95 workflow that everyone else uses, IMO.

Don’t really see how it’s changing every 2-3 years. Gnome 3 was well over a decade ago and not much has changed since. I don’t see why you felt the need to lie about that?

TheGrandNagus,

No, they don’t exist because of Gnome lol.

Source on it reinventing the wheel every 2-3 years?

Gnome 3 was well over a decade ago. It’s worked the same way ever since.

TheGrandNagus,

This article can pretty much be summed up as I don’t like GTK or Gnome so I’m going to just present them being shit as a factual statement. I use Arch and KDE btw.

Gnome 3 released close to 13 years ago and was announced 16 years ago. At some point, people need to stop crying about the UX changes and get the fuck over it.

If you don’t like it, use something else and stop being so entitled.

TheGrandNagus, (edited )

See the above. Stop being entitled. It’s their project and most of the work is done by volunteers, for free.

If you find their product so detestable, don’t use it.

You don’t have a god-given right to have free volunteers make software in the exact way you want them to.

They are volunteers working on their own project, not slaves working on yours.

Honestly nowhere outside of Linux do I see so many people get so much for free and yet be so spiteful and entitled in return.

What are these extremely flashy animations you speak of? I think you’re just making stuff up. I’ve never seen any of these long animations. I click on an app icon and it opens immediately. I click close and it closes immediately.

Gnome is extremely productive. It’s a big part of why most Linux workstations use it. It’s stable, keyboard-focused, gets out of my way, and has the best workspaces/virtual desktop implementation I’ve come across. I use it for my work. Getting my work done the Windows way is so cumbersome in comparison.

You gonna provide a source on your “completely reinventing the wheel every 2-3 years” claim, or will your next comment contain another new lie?

TheGrandNagus, (edited )

Everything opens up immediately. My PCs perform well. I dunno where you got the weird animations lie from.

I’ve used XFCE plenty. XFCE would hinder my productivity massively, so nah I’m going to pass on that.

Still nothing on the “gnome massively reinvents the wheel every 2-3 years” thing? Not surprised, considering it was BS.

TheGrandNagus,

So your proof of Gnome “reinventing the wheel every 2-3 years” is them removing desktop icons (good riddance btw), idk, 7 years ago or something? And activities view (amazing for productivity and I wish others would catch up to Gnome here) well over a decade ago?

Yes. I will need examples. Because those aren’t examples of what you said - show me how using Gnome is night and day different to 2-3 years ago, and show me how using it then was night and day different to 4-6 years ago.

TheGrandNagus, (edited )

GTK and Gnome makes me upset, something something KDE used to be a whore but is now an honest woman (???), I use KDE and Arch, btw

TheGrandNagus,

Plasma 6 seems to be sorting out some of the things that has made me steer clear of Plasma 5. It’s a good thing.

Plus, using a rolling release but not wanting software upgrades? That’s… unorthodox.

TheGrandNagus,

You must be fun at parties.

TheGrandNagus,

Mint is good, unless it’s very new hardware in which case the base (so things like drivers) can be a little dated.

Look up Ventoy. It’s a tool where you can put multiple ISOs onto one USB drive and boot into any of them. You can use that to try out a few distros. Maybe Mint, Fedora, PopOS, Ubuntu.

TheGrandNagus,

Warp factor 7. Comply.

TheGrandNagus, (edited )

Material design looks nothing like this though?

Material design is about blobby, rounded shapes, pastel colours, complementary palettes without much contrast, mostly flat.

TheGrandNagus,

It’s not material design.

TheGrandNagus,

Yeah, and I suspect most reading the article haven’t either, so the above guy’s question stands - what’s wrong with Bash in comparison to the others?

TheGrandNagus,

I don’t see the clickbait. The title references how to change the shell, the article then shows exactly that.

I think you’re using clickbait as a meaningless buzzword for something you don’t like, rather than its actual meaning.

TheGrandNagus,

A Christmas Carol was just Picard’s holodeck program. Change my mind.

TheGrandNagus,

Yes, you’re missing something, IMO.

Google to OEMs: Hey, I know we market Android as an open system, but since we know the market reality is that you can’t use other software, we’re going to force you into signing these agreements saying no third party app stores and you will bundle our software and telemetry, without giving the option to uninstall. You will also make installing apps from outside the play store show a scary message and requiring changes in the settings.

Google to app providers: Hey, there’s a 30% fee on anything both through the play store, and inside your apps once you’re done with the play store. Unless we have a secret backroom deal with you giving you an unfair advantage over competing apps, like we’ve done with Spotify and Netflix.

Courts: Uhhh all of that seems like an abuse of your market position, no?

Doesn’t seem unreasonable to me.

TheGrandNagus,

Samsung has one and they aren’t allowed to have it as the default.

TheGrandNagus,

Nope.

TheGrandNagus,

More stability, better Wayland support, better UI without crazy inconsistent padding everywhere.

Plasma 6 might be what makes me give it another chance. The lack of visual consistency and the bugs were what was keeping me away, but they’re fixing a lot of that.

TheGrandNagus,

I had no idea these even existed, cool

TheGrandNagus, (edited )

Just get some fabrics and compile it yourself, easy peasy

I’ve checked a few Linux merch stores and most of what I see looks like really limited or dated stock. I think distros are missing a trick by not putting more focus on it.

Even Gnome’s stuff looks kinda ugly, despite them making an absolutely gorgeous DE.

I’d 100% pick something up. There’s something in my dumb monkey brain that makes me more likely to spend £30 on a Linux merch jumper than to spend £10 on a normal jumper and £20 on a donation

E: monkey brain not money brain

TheGrandNagus,

Yup. People always latch on to the “Sony (it was actually on Philips, who ran the disc factory that Sony had a stake in, but that’s just nitpicking) installed a rootkit on PCs in the 90s via CDs” and say about how awful that is, and they’re right, then they throw that out the Window and install more advanced rootkits filled with god knows what telemetry when they install games.

TheGrandNagus,

It’s in the early stages, but yeah you can do it in KDE Plasma if you’re prepared to jump through a couple of hoops (basically doing the same thing the Deck does)

Linux won’t have proper HDR support until mid-late next year.

TheGrandNagus,

Mr Krabs certainly has the lobes for business

TheGrandNagus,

Janeway just gets a little bit irritable when she’s not murdered someone in a while

TheGrandNagus,

Don’t upgrade then.

I for one am looking forward to it. They seem to be fixing a lot of issues that I currently have with Plasma that prevents me from using it.

TheGrandNagus,

Sounds like a good thing to me.

TheGrandNagus,

This man has the lobes for business

TheGrandNagus,

Apple wasn’t the first lol

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

TheGrandNagus,

In your opinion.

I’d take Gnome anyday.

TheGrandNagus,

That is not a UX choice, not default behaviour, and has not happened to me ever, after a decade+ of use.

TheGrandNagus,

Gnome is amazing.

TheGrandNagus,

“just move lmao”

TheGrandNagus,

The craziest part is that Lwaxana knows how uncomfortable she’s making Picard by constantly coming onto him, because she can literally read his mind, and yet she does it anyway

The Unity Desktop Environment an Underrated Masterpiece (unityd.org)

Why is the unity is underrated when its what i use right now with Ubuntu Unity and its actually really great experience for my 2021 HP Stream 11 Laptop and i hope you all to share your experiences using the unity de in Debain Ubuntu Arch Fedora Gentoo Opensuse Etc thanks for your Amazing community my Wonderful Friends

TheGrandNagus,

Unity was fine, I used it. But the fact I’ve never tried to replicate that workflow since moving on from Ubuntu is pretty telling.

Using stock Gnome on Fedora Workstation now and couldn’t be happier.

TheGrandNagus,

The original Linux mascot almost was a Fox girl called Xenia.

TheGrandNagus,

Terminator 2: Judgement Day

I might be wrong though

TheGrandNagus,

Oh noooooo we’ve accidentally leaked our product and now we have all of this free advertising 🥺👉👈

TheGrandNagus,

This must be that Biggus Dickus chap I’ve heard so much about
