My spouse bought a mac and asks me (mostly a linux user, and I'm happy to help) for support somewhat regularly (mostly recently, for a tahoe upgrade). It's not the golden unicorn people paint it to be. 8gb is insane in…
Sorry, it wasn't clear if you were suggesting raising prices was an effective way to recoup the cost of the acquisition. When I wrote my comment, only the first half of yours was showing up.
By contrast, I find kde/plasma much more confusing for window borders. I see kvantum, dekorator, breeze forks, something called "klassy," etc. I appreciate gnome's ability to sometimes cut the legacy cord.
Sure - I get the point, but also have never found the top bar on another monitor to be super prohibitive to my production. It's rare that I don't have a spare moment to move the mouse to check notifications (in fact, if…
I appreciate your dedication. Never once in my career have I been at "I'm so locked in, I can't spare a single second of time to look at another monitor" level of concentration :D
I disagree - I see stuff like this, and I wonder if anyone actually thinks about the UI, or it's just "features thrown at the wall." It takes me a long time to remove buttons, icons, etc. from KDE's default layout. They…
I might challenge with "autopilot is cruise control." To me, Tesla is marketing the feature much differently. Either way, looking up the definitions of each: "Auto Pilot: a device for keeping an aircraft or other…
I'm not a huge fan of this statement - just because some users prefer simplicity, doesn't make them "illiterate." I'm happy to be a pretty tech-savvy gnome user - everyone uses a computing device for different purposes…
I don't agree, it's easy to set the mozilla repo as pinned / priority for apt (in fact, mozilla's 2-step instructions help you do that). I'm not sure what the second point means, are you not in charge of the package…
I gave up waiting :(. The first time in 20 years I've not used Linux on a laptop at home. The recent MacBook air deals were too inviting, and I hate to say, solved every complaint I had with my last intel machine.
I mean, if you have no evidence of this, why even post such an (incorrect) conspiracy theory comment?
That's not true at all, they even publish weekly reports of how donations are used to support the Gnome ecosystem: https://thisweek.gnome.org/
There is a Qt and CLI client, too.
Yeah, that's fair. I was more taking point with "Core KDE applications," where krita is more of an outlier compared to KDE Gear apps.
I'm not sure about the origin, but for a while, several EFL developers worked directly for Samsung. It was great (as a previous user of Enlightenment) because development was super active.
In general, I agree, and like using it. But, it's lagged quite a bit regarding Wayland, and still uses some strange components under the hood (acpid instead of logind, connman instead of network manager, etc). I hope it…
I'm not trying to make a case for it, it's the simple the truth that systemd has simplified a lot of this behind the scenes work. If you'd prefer to stick to the un-maintained X server because you value your init system…
Well, you're choosing the least popular (non-systemd) approach, and also skipping elogind. This stuff JustWorks on systemd based systems, so your blaim is inaccurate. At LEAST read the docs for your distro:…
Sure, I can print and mail her the picture, too - the point is convenience. Sometimes, people want to send photos back and forth, too, so asking the technical user of the two to setup a host isn't a solution. (But I'm…
But how many of apples users live there?
OK, so general linux issues unspecific to wayland. I don't share your experience, but it's rather off-topic for this post.
Sorry, "tearing" isn't the correct word. I use the swipe gesture to "peak" at another workspace - if I have a video playing in that workspace, for example, it'll have artifacts in the playback while I'm mid-swipe. On…
Curious, what sort of hardware issues? I don't have experience with Nvidia, but on Intel, my experience is equal on gnome (in fact, quite improved for the last couple of years - more fluid animations, less lag, etc).…
I mean, of course that's the case? xorg.conf* applies to X (the process) which isn't running any longer. Also, most people haven't need d a xorg config in a long while, except for unique cases.
I haven't had luck with chrom(ium,e) using scaling, or vaapi, natively on Wayland. Firefox is a far better experience for me.
