Often times when there was a big new update for GNOME, I’d try it out, decide I still don’t like the concept and go back to plasma.

I don’t get the appeal of that desktop. Even the tiniest changes need gnome-tweaks? Why isn’t that stuff part of the base settings? But ok. You can’t ungimp GNOME. The usage concept is baked into it. Fine. But why?

I mean there must be people who want this and nothing else, otherwise people wouldn’t use it.

I think once you’re at the level of caring about that stuff you’re no longer considered a newbie

Introducing the dummy thiccpad

I will roll into my grave

That’s a fun 50/50

You’re not supposed to modify shipped unit files, that’s why systemd supports drop in snippets

resolved is entirely optional and disabled by default, I use it on case of non-mobile devices but leave it on laptops etc.

DNS resolution isn’t something exotic, it makes sense for systemd to implement it in a simple optional daemon

No od either

It’s Stockholm syndrome

I mean who doesn’t like putting mandatory quotes around all variables (though exceptions, like in [[ ... ]], apply)?

Or keywords like fi and esac or worrying about $IFS

I like it (am actually sponsoring) but I’m not sure development is still active. I hope the author finds the time and energy to work on it again it’s someone else picks it up

Almost nobody cares about these features for new shells. POSIX compatibility in my opinion is an anti-feature for interactive shells; for scripts, use the shell referenced in the shebang. There are even newer POSIX compatible shells like oil if you want one of these.

I’m pretty sure AI partners are not the primary reason people don’t have human partners. The issues are systematic and root very deeply. While I do think AI partners are a very toxic and dangerous way out of this, I highly doubt they were the reason people were single in the first place.

Not being POSIX is one of its main selling points. If you want POSIX, you’re not the target audience

It’s just a very nice shell that’s conceptually very close to common shells like bash and others while it has a nicer syntax than those. All in all very reasonable and rather evolutionary than revolutionary. So the learning curve is rather flat compared to shells like nu or elvish

The year of the Linux desktop is already there for me. There is more and on a better foundation than I ever thought would happen when I started using it. Personally, I miss nothing.

Well aware that this isn’t the case for everyone.

Funny to read this when I’ve been using Linux for over 20 years

I think it’s possibly the best way to play it, sure my majority of play time is on PC and it’s close but it’s way better than on the Deck, or a phone mind you. Yeah Deck has touch but Tablet is just better

For playing Balatro on the go, I just use a tablet (Dell Latitude that is, so normal Linux desktop)

The issue with Balatro is that you or at least I need some screen estate do easily differentiate suits, and I don’t play in colorblind mode. Then the game doesn’t really benefit from joysticks, it’s rather a game where you point and click, but don’t move. So all in all just a good fit for a tablet.

Well, technically, it’s not broken, just slower

It’s a choice I can live without, I see the appeal of !! but usually, history is informative only, if I want something reusable, I write a function.
