Y not gnome web

Tbh the terminal is super convenient. No random UI placement. Most things follow one of several conventions so less to get used to. It’s easy to output the results of one command into another making automation obvious, no possibility for ads. It’s pretty sweet

True, but I was thinking the shell would be the best place. You can have with watch for file modifications preformed by the user and reach out to nautilus to update its recents. That way you don’t have to watch for all inotify events on receiving user updates, and you get all tools not just touch

Does bash have extensions? If not I know other shells do. Definitely something you could do there

That’s why file managers, but cp filename folder name is probably quicker if you are already in the terminal

I feel this. No one actually architect’s anymore. They just shit out their first thought and call it a day

There is a big difference between what someone says they are doing vs why they are actually doing it

Patents kill innovation. No one should be granted rights to a concept purely because they got to it first. It’s still really.

I didn’t even say anything about copyright or patent?

Competitive improvements the company makes make be kept secret, re packaged, and sold without making contributions to the src code.

Basically embrace, extend, extinguish

The code can be taken and used in close source projects

I’ve had pretty good experience with using AI to find what I’m looking for in documentation, especially if the docs are in context

If you need theming stick with KDE and Qt apps. Gnome considers large amounts of theme to be a hack. Remember in windows there is no themeing so by switching that’s an extra feature you get. Even if half baked

In reality a lot of these desktop standards are competing. Some are working together but some clash. It’s part of the open source model

A general rule of thumb I follow is that if I’m getting a lot of resistance trying to do something, it probably wasn’t designed to do that.

Fractional scaling works better on KDE from what I hear to but I have no idea.

Personal something that has really helped me was switching to Nixos and configuring everything in a nix file. I don’t even complicate it with home manager just plane nix

Nix also makes installing developer binaries a breeze. Number one nix packages as the largest number of packages over any other repo. Two, it provides a very organized method for installing packages

I’m not sure I’ve ever actually killed a system, I’ve booted from UEFI shell manually just to recover systems. Back when I was using arch id just chroot into the system from a flash drive and fix whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Blew my mind too, sad really

NIXOS, set and forget. It will not change unless you ask it to. Occasionally things might get renamed, but they set up warnings and don’t deprecate old naming for a long time

Fortran

Hard drives have longer shelf life than unpowered SSD. HDD are a good middle ground between SSD speeds, tape drive stability, and price they won’t go anywhere. The data world exists in tiers

Why not make them executable and stick them in bin

I’ve switched to nutshell imo. Bash is in need of a replacement
