They want to be rich beyond EVERYONE'S wildest dreams.

Why else?

I've found that some people use Linux just to be apart of the "cool tech kids" on the internet. They don't understand how to use a CLI...

I hope that's true. If Linux has come this far to make PC life possible for the cool kids, I say welcome to each and every one of them.

No worries. Took me a moment as well. 🤪

Why wait this long?

Thanks for linking that community.

On top of you advice: IMO if the tap water is safe for drinking, use that and don't buy bottled water at all. No need to add to the plastic problem. Also: it's usually cheaper.

Just posted the article. Why not be constructive and post something more informative?

You either spend your life really well or you have way too much time on your hands.

Either way I read your post with happy curiosity. 🙂

Well, I completely disagree! Taking things seriously is the only way to have meaningful conversations. If we don’t challenge each other’s views, how will we ever grow and learn? We need the "battleground of ideas"!

One if my saddest game related moments this year: The release of Homeworld 3.

This video sums it all up well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuonl50R6Eo

Allow me to do this one more time:

sigh

RIP Homeworld 3... you could have been amazing.

 

How would you rank the DLCs? Is there a huge difference in your ranking when rating multiplayer or single player?

I love Vivaldi. Am sad it's Chromium. Wish Firefox would take a page out of Vivaldi's features book and innovation approach.

You misspelled Neovim. An understandable mistake.

😁😝

 

In other words: What’s a hidden gem I probably haven’t seen but totally should? And why is it a must-watch?

 

I’m looking for a launch menu that has similar functionality as the Windows 10 Start Menu. While I don’t think Windows is the pinnacle of OS development, I did find the "Start" menu quite useful in organizing my apps by task group and importance. Specifically, I’m interested in the following features:

  • The ability to resize the menu.
  • The option to create my own application layout in named groups.
  • The capability to create folders with applications.
  • Optionally, the ability to resize various application tiles.

The Cinnamenu applet for Cinnamon comes somewhat close, but it isn't quite it. Does anyone know of an app, a DE or anything else on Linux that offers these features?

PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.

What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube's appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

 

I would like the Firefox profile manager to open when I run Firefox from the GNOME 3 menu, be it the DashBar or the native menu. I installed Firefox using Flatpak.

I know that I can run it from the terminal with flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox -p. But how do I modify the .desktop file? I guess it is the one in /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop? I tried replacing the line

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=firefox --file-forwarding org.mozilla.firefox @@u %u @@

with

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=firefox org.mozilla.firefox --ProfileManager

but I cannot save the document because of "too many symbolic links".

What is the secret?

I really wish Firefox would simply offer this as an option in its settings.

With worrying global trends like climate change, pollution, increasingly divided or radical governments, economic woes, misinformation and disinformation everywhere, dangerous health crises and so on, what do you think - how much time do we have before "it all comes crashing down"? What will end life or our way of life as we know it first?

Or do you think we'll make it? If so, how?

 

It's in the eye of the beholder, of course. But it would be great to see some solid recommendations.

 

... as explained here.

Basically Microsoft presents this "incredible" product, and then says in the same breath: "Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?"

Really!? 😠

If only Linux were ready for mainstream use...

 

What do you think?
