You could make the world’s worst computer cluster, that could be fun. I think there are several open source tools for doing clustering

Except this is on the linux community so “third party applications” is every application

(Which you can disable, luckily. I still use the classic layout with the table of emails on top and the selected email below)

I think if we want something like that to be consistent everywhere we need to stop using Ctrl so much as a modifier for non-terminal tasks. It doesn’t solve everything, but using Alt or Super for copy and paste like Haiku and MacOS do is a big step in the right direction. It’s just hard to change an established custom without making the whole experience less consistent

If it was starbucks it would be like cramplestiltskin size or something not medium

There’s also a medium version that’s heavier than that but lighter than the default UI https://html.duckduckgo.com/

Honestly the biggest thing is just READ WHAT IS ON THE SCREEN. So many people just refuse to read when the computer is literally telling them exactly how to resolve a problem

Yeah, only time it becomes inconvenient is if you want to use a paid app

You can use Aurora Store, it’s an open source client for the play store. Just probably don’t sign into it with your real google account since it violates the play store tos

I thought WSL1 was a compatibility layer and 2 was a VM and they were both still supported? Is WSL 1 gone now?

She, but yeah. I don’t think it’s a good idea, but it is technically a way to run a small subset of macos software on windows without a VM, just using multiple compatibility layers instead

There is a translation layer for running MacOS software on Linux called Darling. In theory you could run that in WSL. The only downside is it is in very early development and not really at all usable

Pretty close to perfect in my experience. I don’t even bother to check on protondb to see if games run before trying them anymore and I almost never find anything that doesn’t work. Off the top of my head the only things I know of that don’t work are things with really aggressive anticheat like Fortnite that intentionally detect and block players on Linux.

Why specifically 22? Is this about a specific person?

Yeah krita definitely isn’t the right tool for bulk jobs. You might want to look into learning to use imagemagick’s command line tools, they’re pretty much the gold standard for bulk image tasks

About 540

I just never switched away, my first computer was my dad’s old 2001 Sharp laptop running like lubuntu 12.04. I play around with Haiku and various BSDs sometimes, but I always end up with some Linux distribution as my main OS. Right now it’s NixOS on my laptop and OpenSUSE on my desktop.

Ahh I guess if the target is being more IDE like then that kind of makes sense. I usually want barely anything but an editor with an LSP and auto formatter. I would be annoyed by the lack of BSD, Haiku, Illumos, etc support, but I guess if you don’t use those it doesn’t matter too much. Being closed source is still kind of a downer though for something like that, you would think they could adopt a scheme like some other paid software where you can pay for premade releases if you don’t want to compile it yourself

Paying for a text editor seems weird, especially one that’s closed source and only supports 3 platforms

If you want a GUI, Kate is my favorite. Otherwise Neovim
