  • Just downloaded it and opened it and the first thing it does is to ask me for a "notes folder" with .md files, which I don't have. I just wanted to try it by writing notes.

  • I just wish cancer have never had a thing. Fuck cancer.

  • Me too. Fuck cancer from here to eternity.

  • Wowee

  • There's an old mexican comedy show where the teacher asks a student how many centimeters are in a meter - she answers something like "29. And there's even room for more!"

  • And drink your oat milk, because drinking oat milk builds character

  • why are so many who preach privacy or using Linux, etc, still using a MS product?

    As someone else already mentioned, familarity. You published a repo of your foss project so other people can contribute to it and the more the merrier. Most people happen to be on github.

  • I actually liked Oxygen but the application style and window borders made my poor crappy laptop with ah Intel Core Duo 2 and 3 GB on RAM slower. Had to use QtCurve or disable all animations and gradients and stuff. Maybe it was just ahead of its time, now that pseud-skeumorphism is doing a bit of a pushback.

  • I loathe that stupid anti-linux attitude from FreeBSD/OpenBSD (and sometimes even Haiku). Most of the time it just make them seem like crybabies, from Theo de Raadt going down: imagine being such a d-bag that even freaking Linus Tolvards calls you "a difficult person" - he says Linux folks do what they do "because they hate Microsoft" but they do what they do "because they love UNIX" but at the end of the day it seems they do what they do because they hate Linux.

    They want to be more popular than Linux and their strategy is... to bitch about it instead of letting their own work speak for itself.

    No OS is perfect. Not even self-proclaimed ultra-secure OpenBSD has been 100% free of vulnerabilities.

  • I hope they follow suit with Plasma styling. As they reckon in the original post, SVG theming is a pita. Not even talking about the very fact that you need a non-qt app to theme qt-related stuff...

    CSS/QML was always the way to go.

  • an application with an odd name, designed entirely to easily install and update the Firefox GNOME Theme, which transforms Firefox (or LibreWolf, in my case) into something that much more closely resembles a GNOME/libadwaita application

    When I used to be around in reddit once read a post or a comment from someone who claimed to be a gnome dev calling for a direct port of firefox to wayland to solve all of those gui kit issues once and for all.

    Someone else said such thing was not possible - you can port gui apps' kits to gui kits, not to desktop rendering engines - but a few days ago I also read something about developing an app directly on wayland and that it would be really difficult.

    At this point I don't know what to believe but if this can be done it would be awesome. It's kind of funny that the linux version of firefox, written in gtk, needs extra stuff to look good and integrated even in freaking gnome

  • To add on that I'd look up if there are such thing as kernel seeds for ARM. Back in the day when I got started with Gentoo I managed to find my way compiling the kernel with "pappy's seeds"

  • Seems I'm alone here on this but I'm team vis

  • I wish there was a chance to use this with logind alone instead of a full systemd install

  • I wish they can figure out thunderbolt/external monitor support soon

  • Removed

    what is this???

  • A picture, you're welcome

  • Have told this story many times but it's due to the nostalgia of an era that seems long gone.

    One day after a lectureship at unit there was some hackathon with people demoing computers with Linux. I got to see the compiz cube thing and my jaw dropped. They gave my friends and me one of these pictured, an Ubuntu 5.10 CD (I still have it somewhere in pristine state) so thanks to Ubuntu is how I got into Linux.

    I wholeheartedly agree with everything that OP has said. You could feel the ubuntu everywhere, from the logo, the color scheme, visual theme, wallpaper and icons (and the 'simplicity' and cleverness of Gnome 2) all the way up to how the help pages were phrased and of course their motto, "Linux for human beings".

    It felt cozy. It make me feel like my computer was indeed mine. At that point I didn't even knew using a computer could be felt like that. It's been 20 years, some 4 years after that I moved on to use Gentoo, but I still remember and miss that old Ubuntu feeling.

    So that's why I have bittersweet thoughts about Ubuntu: on one hand, as with many people, it was my gateway into Linux and thus it changed the way I use and interact with computers forever; on other hand, it was really sad to see what it has become.
