I really want to make some PC sleeper build disgusted as oldy Unix workstation, with some Linux desktop (Debian probably) running ancient window manager like FVWM. Would be cool to surprise people with it running modern games, lol.

Why not make Ubuntu a GNU/ Redox distribution at that point?

I really wish they had easier way to switch to newer version. It works for me, since it’s not that hard to edit sources.list (or debian.sources nowadays), but I don’t get why they don’t make a tool that does a release upgrade like on Ubuntu. Could even list changes made to the sources file during execution for that matter.

I’ve switched to Linux because at this point it’s easier to deal with problems on Linux than using Windows and getting it to usable state.

And if something doesn’t run on Linux… I use something else, easy as that.

I remember having 10 inch netbook. It was okay for a while, but I would never want to go back to 10 inch display on a laptop. It’s just horrible to use. 13 inches is ideal for me =)

Then I don’t know what are you smoking. From the taskbar, window decorations to system settings - it’s very similar to how Windows 10 is designed, although with much less padding (by default, but it’s a good thing).

There are also some settings for the taskbar to behave more like a Windows 11 one, if that’s what you want.

Also as for icons they look much more modern than what’s on Windows, at least for me.

It works fine for me, and I use Wayland.

It looks very similar to Windows 10. You think Windows 10 looks like something from 00’s?

It doesn’t matter if it’s prettier, when I need to spend twice the time to do some basic stuff because I need to move my mouse cursor half way through the fucking screen, at least in GNOME apps.

How is that toleratable is beyond me.

Just open the preferences/settings on KDE and you see nothing but pure chaos.

It looks fine to me. Everything is categorized nicely and you know where to find something you look for. I am not sure about GNOME Settings, because I have never used GNOME more than 30 minutes (because of annoyingly shitty UX), but it’s at least much better than what Windows does.

I didn’t expect Windows to become THAT shit. Well it’s good for Linux I guess.

What do you mean? Borderlands 3 was pretty great.

GBA SP here.

echo "alias apt='sudo rpm-ostree'" >> .bashrc

LMAO.

At least it’s not covered by a dark shade now.

Why does that matter? It looked fine.

It was literally my favorite design of online video player, and I remember enabling it back in the day when it was still an experimental feature.

Looks like UI from like 2005 lol.

Isn’t this explained in the manpages for apt(8) and apt-get(8)?

Do people don’t read their manuals anymore?

That’s a very nice desktop.

We live in weird age, where using Windows is becoming harder than Linux (even though it has its own issues).
