@petsoi Beautifully written perspective; the KDE Activities bit of that was my favorite! Multiple workspaces on a single monitor is probably one of my most advocated features. I’m telling someone about it at least once a week, even if it’s just showin em how to use the cut-down one on their windows machine.

@lemmyreader @cafuneandchill PostmarketOS in chroot in termux in waydroid on PostmarketOS 🤘

@lemmyreader @electricprism There is someone who managed to convert a proot-distro version of #alpine into a #pmos one. It’s not as great as it may sound though.

@LukeSky #lutris is good for more’n just games 😉

@Lem453 Everything on that page refers to configuration problems. Most of them inferring a misunderstanding (or complete disregard) of the requirements that need to be implemented prior to configuring suspend-to-disk in order for it to work properly. Both the gentoo, and arch wikis have very thorough instructions on how to successfully incorporate this feature.

@drwho Whatcha mean by “not a sure thing”? Is there some issue with specific hardware, or configuration?

@JRepin Am I the only idiot who uses systemctl hibernate with a proper swap partition? Works perfect every time I’ve set it up.

@thingsiplay Nicely done, I like it!

For years, I’ve been using a similar(?), very simple script I’d banged together. I made it originally to track down a few out of control log files, and later changed it up for a general space freeing overview.
df -h $1 && du -ha "$1" |sort -hr |head -n25

@TheMonkeyLord #AntiMicroX is a good choice for mapping controllers to keyboard/mouse functions. I use it daily to control my computer from a flight-stick when I just want to lay back and watch stuff.

@lemmyreader Looks quite snazzy!

@nyan How different does different get than very unsame? 😜

@Successful_Try543 Fair point, yes! …but I did recommend it as a “truly different” choice. 😉

@TimeSquirrel @nicknonya Been runnin basically the same setup for the better part of ~20 years. That’s not gonna stop me from playin with stuff I don’t know or like though.

@nicknonya If it truly is “different” you want, take a look at stuff like Tiny Core Linux, MenuetOS, or ReactOS. If you want a bit more milder different, may go with a BSD/UNIX. There’s loads of really weird stuff out there if you dig around a bit. Or just plunder DistroWatch for somethin that strikes you. Who knows, you may just find a new comfortable on yer journey. 😁

@flork Granted it’s listed in a mimeapps.list file, you should easily be able to pull the program name out of there by querying against the file in question’s mimetype.

And while “can’t be easily done” may be generally true, don’t call it quits; some file managers may offer less “not easy” than others. Don’t end your customization exploration because the file manager you currently use can’t do what you want, try fiddlin round with some others. The process for each file manager is going to be different, and getting the name of the program for any filetype is also going to differ depending on the syntax required for altering each different file manager.

@barbara Is bash itself not already an improvement on ““the basic stuff””?

…and whitespace in filenames is simply unacceptable, and should not be encouraged. 😆

What’s wrong with the method we’ve been usin forever of working with dumbly named files? Just "enclose em", or use\ an\ escape\ char in em.

@Sunny @minamoog It’d be hard to argue for anything against #portage! The only time it’s not pleasing to look at is when it’s littered with [ B ] markers. 😆

@HouseWolf Maybe try testing the hardware on a known working system.

@wwwgem I’ve been extremely pleased with @tuxedocomputers in both product quality and support. Next laptop will assuredly be another from them.

@imgel I wouldn’t consider #e16 a DE (still count?); but using that, I prefer having a frame-only window decoration. I use a simple #xdotool line in my #conkyrc to display the currently focused window.

${exec 'xdotool getactivewindow getwindowname'}

I’ve also used a combination of xdotool, randr, and eesh in the past to do tiling and arrangement.
