  • Canonical lays out a plan for AI in Ubuntu Linux

  • I use incus as a sandbox for claude. Previously I used podman, but podman in podman is a pain, so I gave it a full vm 😄

  • UK moves to ban smoking for everyone born after 2008

    Jump

  • At least smoking sensibly should be banned then. Because it bothers everybody. So if my windows are open and my neighbor smokes in his balcony I could make a lawsuit against him.

  • I don't like this argument. Every time you ban something there will black market for it. But the goal is to reduce consumption, and it will work. Similarly with weed, if it's less accessible, it means less consumption.

  • I started using Linux in 2016, I stopped distro hopping with arch and I'm using it since 2019. But I'm looking forward to try nix like OSes like guix. I see the value of it, it's just too much hassle right now. Meanwhile I'm using aconfmgr for tracking my modifications in my system.

  • Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?

    Jump

  • I would say definitely it's a side dish, not something that you eat alone. It's also very good to put slices on toast. Add pepper and salt on top. You can also drink it as smoothie. It finds its way to salads like egg salad (eggs, avocado, onion, mayo, mustard). Btw, butter tastes good raw 😄

  • The children murdered by the Epstein coalition in Iran so far

  • That would be equally bad.

  • Signal Founder Moxie Marlinspike: Telegram is not private. There is nothing private about it. They've done a really amazing job of convincing the world that this is an encrypted messaging app

    Jump

  • I agree, if majority of people would care, Linux PCs would be the most popular option. They care about convenience only, but not even that much. Instead of researching the best they are just ok with the advertised options. They eat what they get.

  • Facts

    Jump

  • I think you have to learn, but I don't think it's difficult to learn. As I said I find it intuitive. My mum could learn it and she is not techy at all. That's actually a very good example, because she couldn't print on Windows and now she can with Linux.

  • Facts

    Jump

  • Like KDE? It would be a lot more complex. I would fear giving KDE for newcomers. It's basically windows 98, but with frosty glass themes, fragmented apps.

    Or Cinnamon? You upgraded to windows XP. Congratulations.

    Deepin? Looks cool until you try to use it.

    Xfce? That's stable and fast. But would you advertise Linux as that outdated?

    Cosmic, still early.

    Budgie, maybe.

    I really think gnome is the best default.

    Nevertheless, It's you mixing intuitive and familiar. Moreover, people who give Linux a trial, they wish for something different. And they really like Gnome from my experience.

  • Facts

    Jump

  • Not at all. Newcomers want intuitive UI. And gnome is really that.

    Examples:

    One unified settings app. Containing all the settings that as a average user needs. It's always at the top right corner.

    Change the wallpaper? Top right corner -> settings

    Add a network? Top right corner -> settings

    Extend display to projector? Top right corner -> settings

    It's not weird at all.

    What would be a better starter DE then?

  • Facts

    Jump

  • If somebody is coming from a different DE he wants the same interactions that they used to do. It's easy to hate Gnome because people see that first. And they find:

    • there's no tray
    • what's that line at the top
    • where's the start menu
    • where are the opened apps
    • is the app drawer really that ugly

    And these are only expectations and you just learn to do things differently.

    Just because it has a different workflow that big players implanted in people, Linux needs to match that?

    The worst thing you can do is to install a dock extension to make it feel like you are in your previous DE. If you want to get the real Gnome experience, you need to let it be Gnome.

    As for the design, it's indeed subjective, but we can agree that it is modern with balanced spacing. You can feel that a graphic designer worked on it. And if you don't like it, that's the same as with other DEs, install a theme. As you can't change QT apps to use titlebar you can't change GTK apps to use app menu instead.

    And finally the keyboard efficiency: Indeed every major DE is keyboard efficient, but I wasn't expecting it for Gnome when I was learning it, because I'm videos, you always see clicks, so I mentioned it.

  • Facts

    Jump

  • It is included because it is innovative, newby friendly (Windows and Mac are both more complex), It has efficient keyboard navigation by default. And it has pleasant, modern UI by default.

  • Which robot vacuum to buy?

    Jump

  • None, but if you want to try one I can sell you cheap my Navon vacuum and mop (from spar). I don't use it because it's faster to do it myself than setting it up.
