  • And Google sucks more and more every day…

    There’s a good way to point people to existing documentation without being a jackass.

    If someone doesn’t find the wiki article that answers their question because they didn’t know how to ask it with the right keywords, just point them to the wiki article and add any missing context to help the next person out.

    A rude “rtfm” response with closing the ticket isn’t helpful.




  • They didn’t even attempt to negotiate. They rescinded their acceptance as soon as “IT specialist” told them they only officially support Windows.

    That happened to me prior, and I actually told them “hey, I really want this position, but you can’t expect me to do it properly on the same hardware/software you give the data entry employees.”

    They gave me a budget to buy whatever hardware I want and told me I can install anything I want but I cannot reach you the sysadmin for any support outside of roles/permissions.


  • I don’t watch any “Linux vet YouTubers” so I have no clue what they may be experiencing and running into, but I’ve been running it daily since alpha, and it’s been rock solid. I’ve had a couple times where the Nvidia driver crashed that could have been caused by cosmic, but I didn’t verify. Though both times I was messing with OBS and a virtual second display.

    I don’t like the file manager, the dock/panel are not as customizable as I wish, it’ll glitch after running updates sometimes but a restart of cosmic fixes that. I was never a fan of tiling windows but with cosmic I use it daily on some workspaces.

    There aren’t a lot of applets yet, but I like these: package updater, privacy indicator, nitrate, minimon.

    I wish I could have expanded ungrouped tabs in the app tray instead of a grouped icon, definitely my biggest annoyance. Otherwise I absolutely love cosmic. I’ve stopped using gnome after gnome shell, and it’s never won me back, kde always felt like a side project just to get it to look how I wanted. Cinnamon is my second choice if Cosmic isn’t available, but I really like Cosmic.
