My perspective is simple, a win is a win. If someone makes the leap to Linux, that’s a huge win, regardless of distro.

Lord of the Flies up in there, hot damn!

To piggy-back off of this, it’s not entirely uncommon to create another directory at root in enterprise environments, using /data or /application That said, I only do that for enterprise, for my personal computer, my distro defaulted to auto-mounting to a directory for each drive inside of /mnt, and I rather like that and intend to stick with it.

Especially in a paid service, like why do I pay for these services if you’re still going to advertise, track, or datamine? I know the answer is greed, why profit off of one option when you can profit off of all of them, but I, the consumer, am fed up with the customer abuse.

Damn…Vimms Lair was my favorite, friggin Nintendo doing what it does best…

I’m happy about any new features that draw more users to a federated alternative :)

Eternity, loved it on Reddit, love it on Lemmy, bless the Open Source community for keeping it alive

Also a sysasmin, really don’t wanna learn it…or have to type it on the daily

That’s a great callout, and something we should be considering more often

I love this change, actually, I’m not a boring-text purist. Proper categorizing of data allows me to spot things at a glance much easier, and I’m all in favor of anything that can improve efficiency and understanding, especially for new folks, so we can improve product adoption.

While I don’t have the answer as to why, it usually works if you just add a shift, ie. SHIFT+CTRL+V Many terminals also allow you to change the shortcut to copy and paste, so you can adjust for comfort’s sake.

Thank you! I love the flexibility of Plasma and being able to make a uniquely me environment

Thanks a ton! I loved changing everything and finding what things I could or could not do without and optimize everything to my use-case. Getting off of my work Windows PC and logging into my home Linux PC feels like such a breath of fresh air

It’s actually just the normal KDE one, set as floating, then shrunk it to my desired size. My partner then added some embellishments to the wallpaper to make the clock and taskbar pop

• OS: Manjaro
• DE: KDE Plasma 5
• Global: Scratchy
• Plasma Style, Window Decorations, and Colors are customized and don’t remember their sources, sorry
• Icons: Colorful-Dark-Icons
• Cursor: Breeze

I know there’s a lot of defaults in here, but this has been my daily driver for 6 years now and been loving this setup

This is gorgeous!!!

This has me curious, not to derail the topic, but I always hear that ClamAV is the best way to go for Linux. Is there a free solution that you would recommend in place of it?

I’ve been daily driving Manjaro for 4 years without any issues. Generally speaking I’d recommend seeing if there is a flatpak for an app before using AUR. I don’t update as soon as updates are out though, so usually any issues there may have been have been shmoothed over before I get to it.

The legend, pinguefy. Posts absolute gold every half a year or so

Wow, that random news article I hit 16 days ago where the page kept flickering and reloading, but didn’t do that when I copied the URL into Brave… I really should’ve recorded that domain so I could defend myself against some stranger online!

Sarcasm aside, I don’t think it’s generally the major websites that you bump into this with, however, there are many edge cases that occur for plenty of folks, whether they’re in college and have to use that “secure browser” extension that only supports Chrome, or the fact that some websites, especially in business, that simply refuse to support browser and will prevent access otherwise.

I’m a Firefox user, so this isn’t to say that Chromium is the way by any means, but hopefully to shine a little light on the fact that we’re all on different parts of the web with different experiences, questioning their experiences so that you can hopefully find an extension or something to pin the blame them does not absolve them of their experience, just a show of elitism.

Firefox HAS gotten much better, but unfortunately, Capitalism’s gonna Capitalism
