The lack any comment saying "Half life is not retro gaming" is concerning to me.

iOS and Android are moving towards a similar target, even copying each other's features.

I have tried using workspaces on Mint (without tiling) and it felt decent. PopOS has a different philosophy about workspaces which I feel makes more sense with tiling. I will give it a shot.

They will probably gradually change things. A sudden change to the DE can be jarring and confusing to most beginners (to whom it is marketed)

It is improving and android is degrading. I don't know where we are heading, hopefully to linux phones.

What do you use it for? How much does it make your experience better?

[–] npdean@lemmy.today 1 points 18 hours ago

The issue is not while using SSH. It is while using the web GUI of the apps themselves.

Can’t argue

Honestly I am new to this, so I could not find anything for it. But I think YouTube will have a video or two.

It has been around on iOS for quite some time

Which TWM? What is the advantage over the default one?

I agree with the sentiment because it is a pain to find a distro which you want. But the reason for this is that Linux has given you the luxury to pick and choose what distro and DE you want. When you go to Windows or Mac, people just accept that it is what it is.

That being said, I will blame the Linux community to some extent for promoting "complicated" (like Arch) or too barebones distros (like Debian) to newbies. The shock of moving from Windows to Linux is already a hurdle for most. When you add the need for tinkering and troubleshooting from day one, I can see why people would quit.

We are indirectly focusing on a handful of "distros" as most distros ship with KDE, Gnome or something similar.

And omg! I have slept on this feature for so long. I assumed it was just dragging windows to corners and they snap on to the left or right back or top. Then, I installed PopOS and saw an explicit button to turn on windows tiling but I was already using the drag function, so I was confused. I turned it on and omg! I have not felt more stupid and happily surprised by a piece of tech in a while. It just works. I don’t have to be worry about arranging windows a special way for multitasking or for following guides. So much time saved.

How to make the most of it? Have you had a similar experience with something?

 

I use a lot of programming and sef hosting things at home. I have to enter passwords and write basic text files which have to be accurately read by all devices.

I, for the life of me, could not manage to solve a problem about a password. I tried many forums and what not and eventually a person on one of the forum said that my syntax is incorrect. I was so confused because I have done the exact same thing hundreds of times and it never caused an issue.

What I wanted to write was (quotes are a part of it) 'xyz'. This is what my PC writes. iOS decides that it should be ‘xyz’. There is a subtle difference in the quotes if you look carefully.

I wanted to trash by iPhone and buy an Android so bad at that moment.

Anyways that setting can be changed by turning off smart punctuation in keyboard settings. But the point is trashy defaults with no clear communication about it.

This whole post might be stupid and petty but it is pushing me to stop using everything Apple.
