You’re jumbling things together here that come separately from separate individuals and have nothing to do with one another. I will reply only to this one:

The people that unironically say RTFM.

If someone literally replies “RTFM” to your request I’m on your side.

If they reply something like “what you are asking is literally the first paragraph of that utlity’s man page” I find it much more reasonable. It might be nicer to then quote that paragraph, but it’s not wrong to point out that often the info you’re looking for is just a few keystrokes away, on your machine, even without an internet connection.

Read The Fantastic Manual

Meh. ssh<space><tab><tab> does the same.

Also, useless use of cat. And grep.

awk '/Host / {print $2}' ~/.ssh/config | fzf

Shell completion ftw. Once you grok the double-tab you might start using the terminal more than your filemanager.

Me. I support this, and I did for over a decade. If you don’t use windows there are more performant general purpose media players than VLC. Anybody who’s been reviving old hardware with Linux knows this.

You sound like you suspect that people want to dis VLC. That is not the case. I’m sure VLC has valid use cases even on Linux, and it certainly is a marvellous piece of software in its own right.

Now go away, you silly person.

Both: ssh config AND your fancy gui. Because most secondary and tertiary apps recognize the ssh config aliases. I know first hand Gigolo does.

Or your file manager: enter sth like sftp://user@host_alias/home/user - after success, create a bookmark.

And most secondary apps, e.g. git and sshfs, even Gigolo, recognize these aliases. It’s the best.

I want to know only one thing: is it based on mpv?

Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

Or a nice prompt that creates a distinguishable marker across output.

Colors. And a nice, readable font. Make your terminal pretty so you feel good every time you interact with it. Think about window dimensions (I personally always find the standard 80x24 too small), maybe set up some manual tiling so you can have two terminal windows fill your screen. Use the keyboard to move around your desktops.

But mostly, colors.

I feared the answer would be “it works on Windows”…

Lidl

Curry (powder) is tricky because it can contain so many different things. The cheapest (and Lidl is always the cheapest, despite colorful packaging) usually sucks.

Poor couch 😥

One can also have endless arguments about the color turquoise. Is it rather green, or rather blue? Same as teal I guess.

I would not want to call this a bug. It’s a limitation at worst.
And even after reading to the end I have no idea if it’s dictated by kwin itself or by the underlying server.
It has accumulated slightly different complaints from different users to the point that the discussion became muddied.
One dev pointed out that the underlying gui server disallows this behavior, but during the discussion it has become increasingly unclear what “this behavior” even is, or what the “supposedly easy” fix would be.

My thoughts/experience:

• my window manager (under Xorg) can be configured to react differently on mouse-up or mouse-down. Whether one clicks on the client window or titlebar doesn’t matter, it goes to the wm first.
• the supposedly unsolveable problem practically never happens to me because I like to arrange my windows side-by-side, on different workspaces etc. but never on top of each other.
• lastly, dragging and dropping between application windows used to be so hit and miss on Linux that I stopped doing it at all, or at least not expecting it to succeed. No idea if it got better in the past decade. This might have something to do with the fact that I’m not using a full-blown DE.

Question to you: is the desired behavior possible to achieve with some other WM? Can you disprove the claim made by one or two of the devs, that it just isn’t possible to solve within kwin/KDE because the underlying graphical server is responsible for this limitation?

4G of RAM isn’t too bad. SSD is good. But I cannot parse the processor line. Is that a single core at 1.4GHz? That would be rough.

FWIW I’m writing this on a 13yo thinkpad that has 2 cores @ 2 threads each, at 2.6GHz max, and it’s fine for anything except gaming.
