Me either. I use Plasma because I prefer the whole workflow but I’m fine with GNOME, it’s just a bit shit out of the box, which I think is part of the problem. It feels so much more modern and the settings menu is much better, plus all the GNOME apps feel lightyears ahead of the half-baked KDE stuff. I wish KDE would stop adding obscure features nobody uses and just work on the polish (though I think they’re doing a bit of that now with the new login screen and unified theming).

Most of them seemed to be giving it a fair go but Linus himself seemed to be treating it more like a Cheap Car Challenge from Top Gear. He was cracking (bad) jokes about “just Linux things” before he’d even started and he gave up pretty much straight away. The problems he was having with Discord seemed more like Discord issues than Linux issues.

I game on Linux without issue. Literally 95% of games just work without issue. Deathloop never ran well and Routine (a UE game) for some reason kept want to install and uninstall a package each time I ran it (but it played fine). I don’t think I’ve found another game that doesn’t play and I recently bought ARC Raiders.

There’s these sort of crystal things you can use instead of deodorant. You rub them on your pits when they wet and they don’t produce any smell but block the bad ones. I used one for a while, it was good.

My sound is fine. However my screen is going down to 0% brightness and won’t budge.

If GNOME did a standard start menu style interface in 99% sure I’d be using that.

Why did they even get rid of the net-tools stuff? Since everyone is still using them why not just bring them back? I don’t see how they can be a security issue. When I set up a new distro one of the first things I do is install it again.

Even the article says that the reason scp is so popular is that it copies the cp syntax. Why constantly force people to relearn jobs they already know how to do?

Rustscan is supposed to be so much faster than nmap but I still use nmap because I can’t be bothered learning another tool. Just use the same syntax for gods sake.

I didn’t really have any issues in Fedora. I enabled the NPM repo in the settings then installed them. Easier than on Windows.

Some kind of hide?

I think 50% of the posts on here are this meme.

Me too. CLI is nice to have if I’m really familiar with something and just want to tell it exactly what to do. The rest of the time a GUI is best.

I had an NVIDIA card when I switched to Linux about two and a half years ago and I’ve never had an issue AFAIK.

I thought this was pretty normal for Linux nerds. I’ve tried loads but I keep coming back to openSUSE.

For someone coming from Mac you might find Pop OS more familiar.

I’m the same. I like the workflow of Plasma, I just find it more practical, but Gnome actually feels like an OS made this century. All the KDE software just feels like it was made in the early 00s and since then it’s just been getting hotfixes to keep it going. I wish they’d just abandon a bunch of their projects and stop spreading themselves so thin.

How do I get rid of this hangover?

Over the past year I’ve gradually switched from Gnome to Plasma but it’s so fucking clunky I do miss Gnome. I feel like it’s in the right place but it just needs rebuilding from the ground up in the modern world.

The original reasoning for having all those directories was because some nerds in a university/lab kept running out of HD space and had to keep changing the filing system to spread everything out between an increasing number of drives.

I always get my kid a gift my wife will hate. She’s still genuinely annoyed about the fart gun I got last year.

That and getting drunk.

Are you just looking for file backup? I haven’t used it but most people just seem to be switching to NextCloud.
