Nothing wrong with that. Even though I never liked tiling window managers. I don’t even know much about them either.
Wow, this sounds so weird coming from someone on the internet (in a good way). All I see online is one giant echochamber and a cancelling machine. Thank you for sounding sane. Let the downvotes come my way now ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

Linux@lemmy.ml•Apparently, 12% of Technology Workers Believe that MacOS is based on Linux
1·1 year agoNope. I don’t really argue much at work. It’s a place where I do my job, get paid and get the fuck out. I only argue when they ask for something more than I’m supposed to do/unreasonable. Other than that, fuck all. lol

5·1 year ago- Code base. It has no relation whatsoever to anything unix. You know the ATT bell labs unix. Unix kernels descend directly from that, Linux doesn’t. It was written by this
genuinegenius man named Linus lol - Unix trademark certification that is maintained by the “open group”. Linux is not a certified unix, even though it is POSIX compliant.
- POSIX compliance. Linux is POSIX complaint, but that’s just how it behaves in terms of APIs and system calls. POSIX complaince doesn’t make a system “unix”. Linux is not derived from unix at all, its code is its own code, it behaves like unix, but it is not unix. MacOS, BSD and other unix systems are derived from Unix (I know MacOS has taken its own way now, but still, it came from a Unix code base).
Tldr; Linux is not unix because it does not descend from AT&T Unix or BSD and it is not UNIX-certified.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How to disable Polkit password prompts (the annoying ones that pop up when you want to update, for example)
51·1 year agoI doubt anyone’s feathers have been ruffled, as this post comes off as very childish (at least the second part of it does).

21·1 year agoLmfao. My fucking lead was arguing with me the other day how Linux is Unix. I just said ok after I saw that it was going nowhere.

71·1 year agoI was kind of on your side and agreeing with you until you started insulting people before even seeing their responses. You’re coming in a bit too hot there, bud. Sounds like you’re the one who is “insecure”. You ok? Did you post this somewhere else and got bullied out of the room and now you’re mad at the whole community? lol
You mean a mentally unstable dude who sells clevo laptops?
I’ve set up Linux mint for my sister in law and didn’t hear from her the whole two years she was in college. But nowadays we have immutable distros. They’re fantastic for a set it and forget it kinda thing. They’re solid for those who don’t want things to break.

Linux@lemmy.ml•GNOME Software May Eventually Drop RPM Support In Favor Of Flatpaks
32·1 year agoThat’s it. You’ve solved it. Flatpaks are the best. Give me one driver I can install as a Flatpak. Anything that is non-app that is flatpak

Linux@lemmy.ml•GNOME Software May Eventually Drop RPM Support In Favor Of Flatpaks
32·1 year agoToo much storage. Only apps, no dependencies or drivers, which makes them 100% useless to me. So I’m Still relying on the repos to install dependencies and drivers, but splitting my workflow and installing flatpak apps? No, thanks. Too much hassle on theming and system access. Often times on the steam deck I try to do something and it doesn’t work and I start scrambling for a while to fix it, then realize I don’t have permissions to do so then have to go find flatseal and start fucking with shit. Just too much hassle.

I thought you weren’t “playing the game”. Why are you still here?
