1·1 month agoI have used btrfs exactly once because it was the default on openSUSE, and the filesystem eventually became corrupted and unrecoverable.
Kolorpaint is decent if you don’t care about layers.
How do you do any kind of work without having layers?
It is, but most modern software doesn’t work at all in Wine. I have 2 apps (Paint.net, and SketchUp Make 2017) which don’t have any real alternatives (or they suck) for Linux and they don’t work in Wine.
It’s Windows. You don’t need a license to run it. I mean you should have it, but it won’t suddenly stop working like in old days.
Whatever works for other people I guess. A good Linux administrator is a person who can work with the default configuration on their OS, and I am trying to be that person and eventually learning inside-outs of systemd.
I completely forget that this should be a feature.
Yeah, but the user might need to package it first for their distro.
It looks modern, is pretty much feature complete and as an average user its nice to have useful apps preinstalled (calculator, libreoffice, firefox and so on), but no bloatware.
I can’t believe I have been running python3 for simple calculations lately instead of running KCalc, lol.
Maybe it’s dying, but it won’t die in our lifetimes, so it’s fine.
I am actually also thinking about creating customized version of OpenBSD as a side project.
I see few of these, but there might be more:
-
The icons on the desktop are too apart from each other.
-
The icon for a floppy disk is much different to what’s on Windows XP.
-
I think program names in the taskbar are 1 or 2 pixels too high, but I might be wrong.
-
The icons in the notification area are too close to each other.
-
Last icon in the notification area is too close to the clock.
-
There’s too much padding to the left of notification area icons.
-
There’s too much padding to the right of the taskbar clock.

If they can’t I’d either recommend to use Linux or buy a new computer. I wouldn’t want to support “unsupported” installation of Windows 11 on “older” hardware, even if it worked perfectly fine as of now, since that would be asking for problems later.
Why even have any effects at all? They are distracting as shit.
It’s better for them to upgrade to windows 11 than stay on unsecure OS.
I was always wondering why there’s no real audio-based interface for blind people, instead of trying to describe what’s on the screen. Have this ever been tried out?
Programming for accessibility is one of these things that I always fascinated me, and it makes me sad that support for it no longer matters for a lot of software developers. Maybe it’s something I am going to try to do? Is there any documentation where to start with that?
1·6 months agoHuh, that’s a pretty good idea. I already have a Raspberry Pi setup at home, and it wouldn’t be hard to duplicate in other location.
I don’t 🙃
I think a lot of people expect Linux to work like Windows, and that’s why they go back to Windows, even if some stuff is easier on Linux.
Many of us probably remember times when we tried to download random applications through a web browser, because that’s what Windows expects you to do. People will try that, and be confused, why stuff breaks or not work at all.
