There's a workaround to this in hyprland in that you can rclick anywhere on the window to resize it (while holding meta), unsure if gnome/kde have this feature but I imagine it's possible

What is the thing being shared here?

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

I think educating people on the dangers of social media is akin to educating crack addicts on why crack is bad for them

The vast majority are already addicted and already know the dangers

I stayed away from social media till around 18 because everyone told me how harmful it was, all that did was socially exclude me, and delay the addiction til later in life

Nix to my knowledge doesn't have anything like that at least by default

The first two are not true on my distro

People complain about being notified about windows updates all the time, and they generally install quietly in the background for me while I get on with my work

The only time I consciously update is when I get wind of a CVE

It is the professional version yes but even when I used to have windows 10 I managed to turn auto updates off permanently

Do people store their money in these things? I use Google pay quite often, but it draws the money from the bank at the time of payment

I don't get the forced update thing at all, use windows at work and don't get nagged about updates ever. if it ever has updated on its own it's done so completely imperceptibly to me

The only argument I see is that they're dropping support for win 10 soon which kinda sucks but the majority of people will not even notice they've been upgraded

I haven't had an update forced on me on my work machine ever

If you're having the house fumigated, or making some renovations you'd have to be out of the house for a bit

I'd say they're more like the developer, they've made the house their way, you can kinda change it, change the paint, move the furniture but you can't make any major structural changes.

As much as Microsoft sucks their os is generally pretty solid. Not great but good enough for most

(I say this having not had a windows install on a personal machine for over a year now)

Make me

Actually don't it's hard enough with certain web apps

Ubuntu, various versions of, fedora for a bit, suse for a bit, Debian for an RPI

Nixos is my home distro and I've spent probably double the amount of time with it as I have all other distros combined, the distro hopping phase a given distro lasted about 2 weeks before I threw it out

I'm not comfortable enough with other distros to able to help someone who already knows enough about Linux in general, and given he's familiar with fedora silverblue seemed like an obvious choice
