Idk about the endpoints, but this seems to be targeting desktops and not servers, as those don’t have KDE.

I just feel like they wanted to do arch, but pacman -Syu was too awkward

KDE no doubt. GNOME is a minimalist that depends on extensions to provide basic functionality, while also being a giant fatass. KDE works from the install, provides a sensible workflow, and has better tools.

But I’d only use KDE on a rolling release or a 6 month release schedule distro. Their approach to development really doesn’t suit stable ones.

I said they’re the new IE for a reason.

The w3c standard: ok so we all agreed that this feature will be placed in the body tag

Blink: ofc, that’s what I’ve been telling you

Gecko: sure, idc

WebKit: yeah nah, put it in the html

So many little senseless gotchas like that that exist for no reason that to be iSpecial

I mean the title should be “… time to move to the other browser”.

Safari is the new IE with extra iCrap on top.

Random browsers usually use one of the 3 web engines, but without browser polish, or functionalities like a working adblock. Those that don’t are just someone’s toys.

So the only real option is Firefox, and the Mozilla foundation lost 80+% of their funding because they can’t get the Google money anymore. Maybe they’ll start actually funding FF instead of some BS humanitarian work that I can bet was primarily lining their pockets…

Try it out maybe? You’re not buying a car… There’s not much point going around and asking if you spend 20 mins trying it out and realise you don’t want to use a 5 year old DE.

Basically expect the system will change only when you update to a new version, and that you’ll need to use external PMs like flatpak or nix for all user packages if you plan on doing anything more advanced than browsing and office work.

Wait till you find out about fzf

MX (Debian + Nvidia + tools to make use easier).

Debian: Release cadance seems too slow for my preference.

Install OBS and other software from flatpak

MX, ThinkPad t480, intel+Nvidia (no matter which drivers): close screen to suspend causes it, and it’s not happening in other DE’s. Can’t be bothered to try out xfce on another distro just to confirm. I made a post when I was trying to fix it for myself.

The final straw were the Bluetooth headphones though. Most of the time I’d have to manually select them 20 times as the output device so it sticks, and then it’d switch back to the speakers as soon as the call starts. Or I’d hear the other person through the correct device, but the they couldn’t hear me on Skype, but could on Google meet.

MX was pretty reliable otherwise.

Why /joke when that’s how stable distros work?

I’m aware of Debian’s reputation for not having the most up-to-date software in its repository

Yes, it’s a stable distro. Contrary to what most Linux users think, that term only means that the distro is unchanging. That means only necessary updates are released (security fixes for example).

when it will make available the upcoming major release of GIMP to 3.0.

Maybe in the next version, if the gimp release happens soon enough it gets tested.

Just use an external package manager like flatpak to install fresh packages. The only reason I could run MX (Debian) for about a year was because I installed almost every user package through nix, and used Debian ones for the system packages.

The xfce in the current MX has issues with waking up as well. When power manager suspends it, it would often wake up to a black screen and requires either a logout or to apply a xrandr config. Same issue doesn’t happen when suspending through systemctl

Hell no, Emacs and nvim UX is far superior. I won’t ever go back to clicking.

That really depends on what you’re doing. It’s only really useful when you’re regularly SSH-ing into other machines for work. Otherwise you’re wasting time every day so that you might save a second once every few years.

I was talking about regular fedora. It’s not that you have to reboot, but you don’t get to use those updates until you do. The most obvious example is updating the kernel and its modules.

Linux almost never needs to reboot after an update

Doesn’t it often need a reboot to apply some updates?

I rember reading something along those lines then I was researching why Fedora installs some updates after a reboot. Most

Export to latex (and to pdf)?

Org-mode mostly does this already. Just needs a shortcut to surround the marked area with the correct symbols.

Thanks, had a network error and jerboa said it failed to comment

“even though there is evidence that Chromium is even less secure)”

That’s not how double negatives work. The alternative would be:

Even though there’s no evidence that chromium is more secure.
