  • Last point is the most important in my opinion

  • Exactly. Anyway, I was referring to KDE's file manager(Dolphin).

  • It is not Linux itself but:

    • I dislike when something goes wrong with a program and the documentation is not clear on how to fix it. But I do not complain because it is understandable when developers write documentation they have to choose who's hand to hold, if they choose to help everyone then the documentation can get long and perhaps redundant.
    • When one is a beginner and installs a distribution for the first time one can get scared by the splash screen showing errors which are 99% of the time safe to ignore (e.g showing that a device was not found). I know its important for developers and advanced users to know all this info but it can make beginners feel so damn scared (like me).
    • Naming, like in the general sense, it seems like many software have some ridiculous names (dolphin, ncmpcpp, gimp, foot, gnome). Very subjective, I know, but in the end I love and hate these names.
    • Bluetooth... yeah.
  • Deleted

  • I changed to Lemmy because I read about Lemmy first. After becoming interested I investigated, found much more articles suggesting Lemmy and those who suggested both gave preference to Lemmy.

  • pacman -Qqem to list your foreign packages (usually AUR ones)

  • To avoid ambiguity with unrelated online content, the project has been renamed

    source

  • No idea really. But I think it a better name.

  • Linux @lemmy.world

    Maomao Is Renamed To "Mango"

    github.com /DreamMaoMao/mango
  • I didn't know that, thank you!

  • Use this in your Markdown(people recommend to use both in "New Communities posts":

     
        ~~~
    [Manchester United](/c/mufc@fek.xyz)
    
    [!mufc@fek.xyz](https://fek.xyz/c/mufc) 
    ~~~
      

    Should render to this:

    Manchester United

    !mufc@fek.xyz

    Edit: Ah you fixed it already

  • broken link?

  • You are exactly right, I was running seatd. Switching to elogind solved the problem.

  • Thanks! I just wanted to give this one a good try and I'm not worried about a little testing/breakage since this is only a setup for a laptop that eventually want to use to run Jellyfin and Ente, plus I'm happy to learn.

  • Linux @lemmy.world

    Alpine Linux Setup

  • Plus the fact that he is charging for personal support and themes/dotfiles, so the software remains the same. Archcraft does the same for Arch and no one gives a shit.

    Not that I would buy it though, even if I needed support and pre-made themes Vaxry's attitude towards well intended contributors can be bad.

  • Accurate thumbnail picture

  • Well yes, but my point is that one can intuitively can use regular DE's and be productive, the same is not true for window managers. Regardles if one configures or not.

  • Remember about cognitive effort, window managers are for people looking to invest time in learning keybinds and new workflows, Plasma and Gnome do a better job of satisfying a bigger userbase and most workflows are easy to port to another desktop environment.

    In my opinion that makes Plasma and Gnome the best desktop environments, no matter how much I prefer standalone window managers.

  • Nice, looking forward to see some info on third party repos.

  • It looks like the status bars window manager users tend to customize

  • Correct, they are not.
