I’m not a Gnome user but I stopped minimizing my windows years ago. Don’t need that if you (a) don’t have icons on your desktop and (b) move your windows over to another workspace when stuff gets crowded.

197·9 days agoYeah better discriminate based on nationality /s. But why stop at that? Poor people are too easily bribed can’t have them. I hear the CIA recruits from top US universities, can’t trust those college grads either. Anyone belonging to some homophobic church or religious group? Better not what if they’re closeted gay and get blackmailed? Anyone in a monogamous relationship should be excluded for the same reason, if you think about it. *tips forehead*
Racists and Xenophobes will try to stop global collaboration,
Yes! Go on…
real conflict that matters will always be the smart vs the lowiq.
Uff… That’s some serious brainworms right there. How do you call your worldview? IQ Supremacy?
Maybe he’s trying to avoid conflict with US government, but he clearly is not trying to avoid conflict with that statement.
How does this prevent the Russians from accessing sensitive technology? Oh it doesn’t! It just excludes them from contributing to Linux, not from using it.
Accusing others from “arguing in bad faith” are we?
If you use netinstall you won’t have any CD-ROM sources in
sources.list. I think that’s kind of stupid that the full iso installer even adds the CD-ROM line. The vast majority of people wouldn’t want that and it just confuses new users.
I guess the lawyers are working for the Linux Foundation? Linux development does not need and started without a legal structure. They could tell the lawyers and the Linux Foundation to get lost. Is the US government going to prosecute individuals for collaborating with individuals from Russia on free software projects? If that’s so, maybe wait till that actually happens and see what the courts have to say about that, instead of this anticipatory obedience.
And the rest is some rhetoric parlor trick and/or racist brainworms. How is not banning Russian individuals from kernel development “supporting Russian aggression”? And apparently there is no way anybody would argue against that without being a Russian paid actor or a propaganda victim. I’ve been watching these so-called “real news” and they love carrying water for genocide right now. Their terrible propaganda – our “real news”.

1: Probably any non-basic text editor has all these features. Except the tabs, which are not available by default on vim and emacs, but I think KDE’s kate (?) and Gnome’s gedit might have tabs by default, maybe. All the cool kids use vim or emacs though.
4: Haven’t tried but arch wiki says XBox One controllers work by default over USB. I will say that I have seen games not recognizing my (not XBox One) controllers sometimes when not running through steam, but in general the controller situation seems good on Linux.
5: mpv is perfect as it is
7: I know you said GUI but that’s a shell one-liner if I’ve ever seen one.
8: Yes there are Windows-key shortcuts (often called “Super” key on Linux) available for window management. The exact shortcuts depend on the window managers / desktop environment and are usually configurable.
9: Yes most anything works on any distro. For best results though, stick to mainstream distros and don’t be fooled by “trendy” distros. Those are not necessarily mainstream, even if you think they are based on what teenagers spam on reddit. If it doesn’t have at least a 10 year track record, it’s probably a fluke and won’t be supported in two years.
Nvidia: Just google whatever your distro + Nvidia, look for the official wiki or whatever, and follow the instructions. It shouldn’t be that hard on any distro. Never install the nvidia driver through nvidia’s website, that won’t work out well. The nvidia driver is system/kernel level software, you cannot install it in a way that isn’t specific to your distro without breaking something.
I personally do not like KDE, but you seem like someone who should go with KDE, which has lots GUI knobs and twists, which should suit your tastes. Windows power users tend to love that shit.
Also, for god’s sake, try to learn some shell commands, I swear it’ll make your switch easier.
Personally, my favoritism distribution is Debian, I would recommend it. RTFM though.
There’s some free dns servers which block certain stuff (pretty sure adguard has them, other products are available) which can be set on the router and/or the device itself. This is not very flexible but it’s easy to set up.
How is this reasonable, they’re traumatizing the kid why exactly? 10 year olds are out on their own all the time in Germany and aren’t being chased by police.
Pretty sure that’s also from Raymond, who is racists af, see my other comment.
Raymond is so much worse. Since you apparently aren’t convinced I pulled some quotes:
CW racism, homophobia, Islamophobia
Black people are stupid and violent:
In the U.S., blacks are 12% of the population but commit 50% of violent crimes; can anyone honestly think this is unconnected to the fact that they average 15 points of IQ lower than the general population? That stupid people are more violent is a fact independent of skin color.
Again:
What’s keeping women in general from occupying the vast middle of the programming field is not general intelligence. On the other hand, the average black American has an IQ about 85 and that is pretty much a disqualifier right there. Only the cohort of their bell curve above 3 STDs from median has much hope of matching the capability of the average white programmer.
Police should shoot black men (calls them “males” like they’re animals), that’s just rational:
Police who react to a random black male behaving suspiciously who might be in the critical age range as though he is an near-imminent lethal threat, are being rational, not racist. They’re doing what crime statistics and street-level experience train them to do, and they’re right to do it.
Homosexuality and pedophilia are connected:
If the prevalence of homosexuality in the Catholic priesthood is the elephant in the sacristy, the homosexuality/pederasty/pedophilia connection in gay culture is the elephant in the bath-house. No amount of denying it’s there is going to make the beast go away.
They hate us for our freedom:
Al-Qaeda would not hate us any less; it is not, at bottom, U.S. policy that enrages them, it is the fact of our wealth and freedom and refusal to submit to the One True Way of Allah.
Muslims are barbarians that need to be civilized by force to prevent the white genocide:
If there’s no way short of straight-up imperialism and nation-building all over the Islamic world to prevent a holocaust on American or European soil that would make 9/11 look like a garden party, then that’s what we’re going to have to do – civilize the barbarians at the point of a gun.
Nuking civilians is good actually:
The U.S. burned essentially every major Japanese city except Kyoto to the ground with incendiaries during World War Two and then atom-bombed two of them. This seemed to help.
Deliberate cultural genocide is what we need:
How dare I argue that the U.S. has the right to commit deliberate cultural genocide?
There’s a big hole in the ground in Manhattan. That’s my argument.
Raymond is a fucking fascist.
CW racism
He’d call himself a libertarian, but he’s the kind of libertarian that wants to bomb muslims for hating our freedoms and thinks black people are just naturally more criminal because they have the crime gene or something, and no I’m not making this up.
Plus he’s one of the “open source” rebrand types, so as not to scare the
hoescorporations with too much scary “free software” hippie communism.
If you install (well more like unpack) Firefox from the official binary tarball, that will update itself.
2·3 months agoAh verstehe. Ja wenn man eh nen Takt früher fährt, kommt das evtl. dann noch dazu, wobei man das zu den Unwägbarkeiten zählen könnte, weswegen man ja eh schon einen Takt früher fährt. Ich würde deswegen jetzt mein Verhalten jetzt nicht so ändern, und trotzdem nur einen Takt früher nehmen, wenn’s wichtig ist.
Ich hab mal drüber nachgedacht: Also, wenn die S-Bahnen jetzt nicht mitunter zwei Minuten zu früh fahren würden, würde auf der verstopften Stammstrecke glaube ich hin und wieder ein Slot ungenutzt bleiben, was dann zu chronischer Verspätung bei sehr vielen S-Bahnen führen würde. Das würde dann vermutlich deutliche mehr Passagiere betreffen, als die eher vernachlässigbare Zahl, die ihren Anschluss verpassen, weil die S-Bahn zwei Minuten zu früh dran war. Davon profitieren alle anderen. Und sogar die Leute, die deswegen den Anschluss verpassen, werden vermutlich regelmäßig davon profitieren, wenn zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt die S-Bahn weniger Verspätung hat wegen dem System.
Ist wahrscheinlich tatsächlich “besser” irgendwie, weil die meisten Fahrgäste wahrscheinlich auch schon zwei Minuten früher da sind, aber ja, viele (die meisten?) S-Bahnen sind 20-Minuten-Takt. Ich wäre schon angepisst, wenn meine Verbindung nicht klappt, weil die S-Bahn zu früh da ist. Wobei wie oft das tatsächlich vorkommt dann in der Praxis, ist vielleicht nicht so das Problem wenn man das mit anderen Sachen vergleicht. Verstehe auch nicht, wie du auf zwei Takte eher kommst. Das würde doch höchsten einen Takt Verspätung bedeuten.
Shoving everything into the task bar doesn’t strike me as more orderly. Less so really.
