  • I prefer GNOME on my Microsoft Surface because I fine it much better than KDE for touchscreens. And GNOME’s dynamic workspaces are amazing to use for my screen.

    I prefer KDE on my desktop and laptop. Highly customizable and works great. I wish it natively had dynamic workspaces though



  • And on that note, I condemn in the harshest terms the response from communities like /r/linux on the subject. The vile harassment and hate directed at the FDO officer in question is obscene and completely unjustifiable. I don’t care what window manager or desktop environment you use – this kind of behavior is completely uncalled for. I expect better.

    Oh wow. That community is just hateful






  • Sometimes the hosts of the actual podcast read an ad using their own voices.

    Yes, though some of those are dynamically inserted as well.

    I sometimes watch years old podcast episodes, and it’ll insert a pre-recorded current day ad where the host is doing it. And when I listen to the episode months later, the ads change again sometimes, but it is still the host doing it.

    Also, maybe it’s just the podcasts I listen to, but all podcasts I listen to seems to always be the host doing the ad.

    Wow. 30 times in 3 years? I wonder if that’s specific packages or hardware you had. I had 5 computers (2 desktops, 3 laptops) running Manjaro for so many years, and still haven’t had a single system break. Including using a lot of AUR packages.

    Though last year, I’ve moved all of my computers to Arch, Debian, and Proxmox. Arch mainly because I wanted to fully configure my systems more.






  • For my main computers, I’ve moved them all to Arch from Manjaro & EndeavorOS within the past 4 years. Though been meaning to try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed eventually. Haven’t used OpenSUSE in over 10 years.

    I have a laptop running Proxmox for my servers, which is debian-based but uses a modified Ubuntu LTS kernel. Great to use to try out other distros in VMs as well.



  • Google maps is tough lol

    You could try to see if you’d like Magic Earth. It’s proprietary, but has a good privacy policy, uses Open Street Maps, and has traffic data.

    Though if you’re dependent on Google Maps for reviews and photos of places, then it’s much harder to replace. Though I guess you could just use the website to look that up.
