Copy Link to Highlight is my favorite addition.

To be fair, your “SUUUPER stable” is another person’s “not really going anywhere”…

Yeah, I also recommend this. Particularly with laptops, it’s good to have a full-fledged desktop environment, since you’re more likely to need WiFi, power management, easy display configuration etc…

In case you happen to be on KDE, plasma-apply-colorscheme gets you pretty close, especially if you’re mostly using KDE programs.

Yeah, or their parents argued a lot and they don’t want to end up in a relationship where this is the case. This can also mean they’re quick to exit a relationship as soon as the first conflicts need to be resolved, because it feels like a sour relationship to them.

That is a good tip. Unfortunately, I am too fish to understand it. 🙃

I just type ps and in 9 out of 10 cases, my shell suggests ps -ef | grep <process-name>. So, it’s actually less for me to type than “pgrep”…

Ah, that was a brainfart. I do use pkill primarily. I just use the other command, when I’m not sure what the process is called…

Yeah, I especially don’t understand it here, because it’s a graphical tool. You don’t have to keep backwards compatibility.

Even if you’re worried about people depending on the format that’s being piped, you could keep only the piped format stable. We have the technology.

Yeah, I would often just grab htop because I had no idea how to read the CPU usage out of top.
For example, for me it says:

%Cpu(s):  0,4 us,  0,4 sy,  0,0 ni, 98,8 id,  0,0 wa,  0,3 hi,  0,0 si,  0,0 st

Now that I look at it, I can guess that us and sy are supposed to be user and system time. And I guess id is supposed to be idle.
I have no guess what the other numbers might be, though. And well, I would often like to see the CPU usage per core.
Now I know that I can just press 1t and get effectively the same view as in htop.

I might learn top’s filtering workflow, too. But so far, I always killed processes with ps -ef | grep <process-name> and then kill <pid>, which isn’t particularly more cumbersome, so will see…

What terminal emulator are you using where ctrl-c copies instead of sending SIGINT when text is selected?

I know that the terminal emulator built into the JetBrains IDEs works that way…

Not sure about video playback, but I feel like the PeerTube website is much more efficient. The YouTube website is amazingly badly coded…

I can’t really sell this as a solution, as it requires quite a lot more involvement than a simple configuration file should, but I use Nix Home Manager with Plasma Manager for this.

This is part of the tooling you’d use on NixOS, but you can use it on other distros, too, and it generally works fine (although I’m not sure, if the current version of Plasma Manager still supports Plasma 5, in case you’re still on a distro with that).

Basically, it allows you to define e.g. keyboard shortcuts like this:

    shortcuts = {
      ksmserver = {
        "Lock Session" = [
          "Screensaver"
          "Meta+Ctrl+Alt+L"
        ];
      };

      kwin = {
        "Expose" = "Meta+,";
        "Switch Window Down" = "Meta+J";
        "Switch Window Left" = "Meta+H";
        "Switch Window Right" = "Meta+L";
        "Switch Window Up" = "Meta+K";
      };
    };

It then fucks up the formatting, so that it looks like KDE expects, and throws it into ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc.
(KDE does actually have a text-based config, it’s just borderline unusable.)

Well, and you can do this with lots of other Plasma options, too. Here’s their official example: https://github.com/nix-community/plasma-manager/blob/trunk/examples/home.nix

I’m not super deep into Flatpak, but is there such a thing as a “distro’s Flatpaks”? Normally, it uses central repositories like FlatHub, which are intentionally distro-independent.
A distro-specific repository would only make sense, if your distro maintainers are developing custom tooling…

I’d argue that it’s Android’s DE for Linux.

Works fine for me. ¯\_( ᵔ ~ ᵔ )_/¯

A colleague always complains that KDE looks like Windows. She does also get jealous, though, when she sees me using poweruser features.

It’s like flying on a broom. Perfectly logical.

Damn, I hadn’t seen the community name before reading the title and thought Microsoft was fixing up their filesystem. Of course, there’s more development happening on the non-Microsoft side.

It also doesn’t just look like a tiling WM. OP is using Krohnkite, which actually gives KDE tiling window management.

Ah, so you’ve scripted a whole bunch of stuff with YUM. Then you automatically have the downside that switching over could incur hours of work.

As much as the software developer in me wants to encourage you to use DNF (or an abstraction like pkcon) for newer scripts, in case they want to remove YUM one day, I get not wanting to deal with two separate tools.

In my head, switching over was trivial, i.e. just typing D, N, F instead of Y, U, M, because that was my experience when I switched over way back when I was still a freshly hatched penguin.
