Honestly, that defaulting to the Search field in the Save dialog when I’m trying to save something just gets me wild. It beggars the imagination why the developers think that’s a reasonable thing to do and it colors my whole perception of the DE.
Plasma for the last decade. Then probably XFCE, then Cinnamon.
I try Gnome every year or so, but every time I get pissed off with it within a few minutes and wipe it off my machine.
If you don’t want telemetry, you have to use VScodium, and then you don’t get to use marketplace. Github didn’t start as a Microsoft project or it would be far more enshittified than it is now, but even so Microsoft is sure trying to fuck that up with their Copilot bullshit.
WSL is the definitition of EEE, and has prevented a great deal of Linux-ward movement that might have happened without it, even with IT department resistance. It’s a crutch to keep devs from having to go to Linux to get the useful tools, like docker which is a mess on Windows, but just usable enough to get by.
And oh, yes, Teams can get shot with a ball of its own shit and fall into the dumpster fire.
Certainly don’t take my posting of this as an endorsement of anything Microsoft does. I loathe Microsoft.
Wayland is the future, and the present. I wouldn’t shy away from it. I’ve been using it for years with multi-monitor and multi-gpu, it beats the hell out of having to dink with X11 about once a week to keep my screens in the right place.
And with X11 pretty much on life support, it’s time. And Mint isn’t the distro to do that on.
Ubuntu doesn’t push flatpaks, they push Snaps. But Ubuntu has a ton of other issues, so YMMV. It might be the one for you, who knows.
Been using Linux almost 30 years, went from Redhat to everything else, and now I’m back on Redhat to stay. Fedora KDE for a nice, boring, up to date, and bulletproof OS.
Yah, I read it afterwards and realized I’d verbed a noun. I’m not proud of it.
OK, fair enough, I changed the title.
I’d rather have ass-cancer.
Me neither, I nuke the default freedesktop folders on an install because they clutter up my home folder. But I’d imagine we’re the exception.
Many of the projects are backend dev tools, like the Atlas provider linked in the thread.
You’re getting another X11 session instead of the console session.
IIRC, you can set up X11vnc on the system and connect it to the :0 display, then direct xrdp to use x11vnc as the backend. Then when you connect, it grabs that vnc session and translates it to rdp protocol. I’m not sure if that’s still viable.
14 fucking minutes and there’s no response? Oh noes.
Yah, it sounds like a quirk. I kinda like it reopening my tabs, but I just tried it on the stock FF in a fresh Fedora KDE install and it works fine.
If you try installing the flatpak version of FF rather than using the zypper version, does that work better? I’m not too familiar with OpenSUSE, but that seems like a problem with the packaging.
The capslock works differently, apparently. I’m used to writing every capital letter using the capslock key, meaning if I write a capital at the beginning of a word, I press capslock, then type the first letter, then quickly press capslock again and type the rest.
I haven’t lasted long enough after the Search piss-off to notice the tomfoolery of that. Well, you probably shouldn’t be creating new folders from there, don’t you understand how the workflow-as-handed-down-by-Jehosaphat is supposed to be used?
