I’m a pro user with over two decades of experience, I don’t use Gnome all the time (I prefer Sway these days), but I’m all-in for having a nice DE that would embrace regular people with its simplicity. IMO Gnome does that very well. Yet, I

Commenting on the internet points (this article is having), I realised I was reading most of the popular things here for some time, months, and it was such a huge and careless waste of my time… So I’m not even surprised it’s having so many

I don’t care what an internet rando with two posts think either, thank you very much.

And in my option is finally good enough for me to switch from macOS and to recommend Gnome to others. Not everyone likes that Gnome 2 (wasn’t bad, I must admit, but I don’t like it) and especially Gnome 3 was. I quite enjoy modern Gnome, an

I hope it’s too late and nobody wants this. Any modern Linux distro is plentiful for an average Joe. Especially when we know the games are mostly hassle-free now.

Growing up is also understanding that the opposite of bad isn’t good. In the same vein, Ms, Google, and Meta being bad, does not help Zorin OS being bad either. Red Hat is bad too, apparently, but I have no issues with using Fedora.

So that’s how you’re getting dependent on them even more. So probably you need the pro version with the paid support. Stealing credit was the definitive factor for me, I wanted to try it recently for replacing Windows for some folks, but no

Okay, I stopped reading when I understood he simply couldn’t change some settings in the system. Expected some deep analysis of the UX. Why would I?

Perhaps I need to understand something first, but at this point in time I see no value in projects like this. Beyond the obvious fact of hacking. Ideally, I don’t even want, say, Linux to have any binary compatibility with Windows. I want n

The thing that worries me the most, is that oftentimes nobody cares. That demotivates me a lot, as I tend to invest huge loads of my time into optimising various things, and all of them are meaningless if you ‘just buy a faster computer.’ M

Try PhotoGimp plugin, it solves some annoyances for me by introducing the shortcuts I used to, and a slightly more familiar interface. The rest, I just got used to, and actually now I like Gimp more than Photoshop (which I don’t like too mu

I used X when I started with Linux in my high school. When I finally stopped tolerating macOS almost a decade ago, I started with Wayland only, and never looked back. I even ditched Krita in favour of Gimp, solely because Gimp supports Wayl

Who are you the people still praising Ubuntu? Where does it come from, this Ubuntu by default thing? Why? I genuinely interested. It was one of my first distros, but that was when they were doing this shipping CD thing. There are countless

Basically, that’s what sway does for me for many years now. In a way, of course.

On the other hand, I migrated from macOS, and chose to stick to Gimp. Its interface is the worst I’ve seen, but with PhotoGIMP it’s tolerable. Now, when I’m used to it, I don’t care about Affinity or Photoshop to ever come to Linux. I want

Have you considered syncthing? There’s shiny new and super cool Sushi Train (or Sync Train by other name) app for iOS (I wish the author would make it a paid app, so much I like it!): https://github.com/pixelspark/sushi

It’s a cherry on top to see these silly AI-generated posts to be seriously discussed in here.

I used to work with my laptop, sitting near my baby. Also, I used a timer to follow 45m sleep patterns, so technically there’s no need to react to anything within first 45m, but most times first 1h30m (45+45m).

I had Arch installed on my RPi2s, but I didn’t like the need to update the RPi that frequently, wearing off the SD card. And later on, it became unsupported by Arch ARM. Now I use DietPi, and it’s my favourite Linux distribution (for an S

Oh wow, thanks! And a low power screen is what? I thought they’re mostly the same, with probably exception of the most recent oled ones.

But how is it draw less power comparing to Raspbian? I’m not arguing, just curious how you measured that, and why NetBSD that much more efficient. I have a RPi2 with Raspbian, and another one with DietPi, I expect them to sip power simila

Well, look, here is my use case. I have some really old hardware that I used to play with earlier in life, it’s located at the parents’ place. I still use that hardware, but not too often, since I live on my own. I could replace all that, a

Why is it NetBSD and which services do you have? I’d love to read about that, and I think I might utilise mine that way too.

I’m all in for opinionated software, but not in the cases it is made by people… (if not vibe-coded, lol) by incompetent people. That’s what the article is about if you were to read it longer than you mentioned. Great that you are the top co

They simply don’t care, except for censoring the narratives they don’t like to be discussed. Plus utilising the masses when they want to advertise something to them. All in all, I’m wondering why I waste my time here. By the way, I like you

Write your own then, I guess. I prefer a developer to have at least some basic understanding of what they’re developing and why. And when they do, and when they themselves use their product, they do have opinions. In my opinion, especially

It’s many times better, but the original website is so mediocre that any implementation is better at something, at least. I’m getting a good laugh reading all this ‘the original is so good’ praises. Just increase the font sizes on mobile an

I can easily make it bigger, and it does not break on my smartphone as the original site.
