Variety - a silly taskbar program that changes my background randomly from my own selected sources with added random quotes. I have it set to change my background every 3 hours and the quotes every hour I think. I just can’ live without it anymore.
Yahoo, like all home pages and web news sites are aggregators. Just like most websites these days. There are few original sources for international and national news reporting anymore. And the vast majority of websites simply buy the news they want.
It’s one big circle jerk with everyone citing pretty much the same sources all the time.
Emacs users laughing at VIM users.
Emacs - A pretty good OS you can use as a text editor.
It matters very little to me if votes are made public. It’s not even a top 20 reason I’m a Lemmy user.
Edited for clarity. I should have tea before I post…
Meh, don’t worry about it. If you are happy with how it’s going for you - enjoy the ride! Not everyone needs to be bothered by the terminal. But it IS there if you need it or want to use it.
Besides, if Arch users wanted to be be real gurus they’d be running EMACS and not Arch.
As long as you don’t need much, they are free. But, the good stuff is all pay to play.
FreeCAD’s UI is good enough to work, but not to everyone’s taste. Personally, I detest the clown car UI of Fusion and it’s lack of customization for my work flow - custom pie menus rock. Something that FreeCAD allows the user to do. Not to mention the half-assed mix of local install/cloud that is Fusion360. It locks your projects in the cloud subject to AutoDesk’s whims, but eats your local storage. At least OnShape and TinkerCAD is all cloud and honest about it. But it’s all pay to play if you want access to the good stuff.
They are improving the FreeCAD UI slowly. The Ondsel version, (based on the 0.22 Dev release), gets high marks from a lot of users about the UI design. Not my personal cup 'o tea, but I do see the allure for many users. Besides, if you don’t like how it works, you can easily customize things to your personal tastes.
And you can run it on a used postage stamp! (Something, something Arch)
I remember playing Doom under DOS and being mesmerized by the game. And I still am to this very day. I morn the day I discovered my original Doom .WADs went missing.
FreeDoom and KPatience forever!
It’s become a meme now. And I certainly don’t take it seriously myself. It’s more in fun to me as anything serious. (I don’t use Arch by the way).
If you can’t joke about yourself about something you do, then you may have a problem and should perhaps consider some therapy perhaps.
Welcome to the Dark Side! Mint is a very good choice in disto. I admire the stability, usability, and having just enough wiggle room to let me set things up to my taste. You are going to like Mint!
You don’t kick the box because it hurts more. If people would only wear the proper steel toe computing shoes more crap computers would get their just desserts.
Sometimes that bear shits in my yard. And then the little asshole trashes my garden. I might buy a tag and shoot the son of a bitch this fall if he keeps it up…
You think LM being “too old” is a problem for newbies? I’ve been running some distro or other since RedHat 5. I it took me 6 weeks of waiting for Fedora to sort out most of the issues, (and I STILL have some minor ghosting issues and I ain’t no gamer), and 4 tries to get Fedora 40 to successfully take the nVidia drivers for the GTX1650 chipset in my laptop.
You think a new wannbe convert is going to put up with that?
Perhaps or perhaps not. Every new desk top was going to be better than Gnome when introduced. I remember having such high hopes for Elementary back in the day too. It was so elegant and smooth to use.
Only if it becomes the default install of the major distros. That, I think is a major hurdle, not even KDE has been able to leap that.
Only if you want enterprise solutions. RedHat does the same. So does Suse. A business should pay for enterprise level supports and solutions don’t you think?
It’s also called ‘the old free stuff’. If free matters that much, you could run Slack or better yet LFS.
I prefer Trabant.
