A few years back they sold me a box of onions covered in everything bagel seasoning. I’m doing my part!

I think we’re focusing on different aspects. My comment was limited to the way main menus worked — “Play feature” or whatever would just about always be the pre-selected option. I was replying to this:
Those old DVD menus that wanted me to mess with extras sucked.
99% of DVD menus would have the “Play movie” pre-selected, letting you activate it with a single press of the Play or Select button.
Possibly my light/dark mode scripts. They change my Plasma theme, which is honestly most of the job, but also set the matching GTK theme, set the new theme in running Konsole sessions, do a bunch of manual sed
edits on conf files for applications that don’t follow system theming, finally restarting plasmashell
to clean up the occasional edge case where a tray icon is supposed to follow the theme but doesn’t.
It’s not for everyone, but if “collection of perl scripts” sounds like your jam, GnuPod still works for a CLI option.
I don’t think these things are universal across software, but you can often put -f
on its own, separate from other flags, or get in the habit of using the long --force
flag.
Too many options to remember and look up every time
This is a good use case for shell aliases. If you can identify a few of your use cases, you can give each bundle of options its own command.
Ctrl+F’d for this.
I agree with this, but in open source there’s an extra layer of complexity: the “I don’t care about market share” dev attitude that’s sometimes admirable and sometimes frustrating.
Agreed, it’s such a poor summary of the article that I can’t tell if it’s an intentional strawman argument.
Be so bold.
I’m not sure if you can show/hide like that, but as a workaround you can toggle auto-hiding with a qdbus command, and set a keyboard shortcut to run that.
I think OP said
if a window is fullscreen
as opposed to simply being maximized.
They mean cleaning the sheets you slept on and towels you used.
That’s awesome, I didn’t realize that ResidualVM had merged with ScummVM.
Don’t miss this entire genre: classic LucasArts point-and-click adventure games! Sam & Max Hit the Road, Full Throttle and Monkey Island are a few of the stand-outs for me, and they all run on Linux via the amazing ScummVM.
Skipping the OS backup is reasonable, but you probably want to at least save a package list. Add something like dpkg -l > ~/packages.txt
to your backup script.
Sharper text for reading more comfortably, and viewing photos at nearly full resolution. You don’t have to discern individual pixels to benefit from either of these. And stuff you wouldn’t think of, like small thumbnails and icons can actually show some detail.
I think you might be looking for something like OpenSnitch.
