It seems your point is to shit on KDE, in contrast to MacOS. But since you don’t actually know the current state of either, you’re just making a fool of yourself.

Good day.

And has been the MacOS way for a while now, too.

What was your point, again?

It is.

That MacOS doesn’t display the scrollbar except while scrolling, does not reduce the height of the total list.

Both have search fields for good reason.

Don’t be difficult.

You really cannot argue that the layout, and hence how people would actually navigate it is not “about the same”. Your words.

To bring up a cosmetic difference is a nitpick. It’s the breeze theme, with a personal color scheme on top, not something explicitly made to look like MacOS. Which it could be.

You really haven’t checked lately, then.

The video has been recorded, but is not out yet. Linus talked about it on the latest WAN show and on social media.

They collabed.

I don’t think Trump is familiar with shame. Even as a concept.

KDE can be set up such that a ex-mac-user barely has to re-learn anything.

The difference is that while gnome looks a lot like MacOS, it isn’t exactly like it in terms of layout. An ex-mac-user will look for certain things in certain places, and won’t always find them. (such as power off/restart being up in the left corner)

Meanwhile, the customizability of the KDE desktop means you can manually put the same things in the same places as on MacOS. You can put a krunner search button in the same spot as the spotlight search button. You can make a panel that behaves like the dock, floating and shrinking to fit the number of icons in it. You can have a top panel with a power menu on the left end, and you can display a global menu to the right of it. Even the krunner keybind is the same, and spotlight people tend to pickup krunner like nothing.

Finally, the KDE settings application seems to be the most similar to the modern MacOS settings application.

The big caveat being that the user will need someone who can instruct them with setting this up, or who can set it up for them.

Gnome is closer out of the box.

But you can make KDE work almost exactly like macOS. The top bar context menu, power menu, bottom dock, left-hand window buttons, etc.

It just involves changing a bunch of settings.

You can also just hook your phone up via usb and enable usb tethering, allowing the PC to use wifi or mobile broadband via the phone.

Saw this a while ago via Mick Gordon.

So glad to see him get work, and also with a game that seems promising.

OpenSUSE is fantastic.

I gave Tumbleweed a few days, concluded it’s possible to do anything I might want to do on it, and then promptly went back to my Endeavour install :D.

A part of it is concern.

System administration on a system you’re planning to use remotely over the internet must be done right. Not being sure what you’re doing is how we all learn, but you really should be sure before exposing yourself to the internet.

It’s not like experimenting with linux on a laptop. Self-hosting is usually about providing some sort of service for yourself, which if accessed by someone malicious, can be used to really hurt you.

The lemmy user to linux user pipeline is real.

In a nutshell:

Google is spending a shitload of money to find bugs in FOSS projects, but then refuses to spend the fraction more it would cost to contribute an actual fix, rather than just a bug report.

Basically, they are willing a spend a ton on finding a bunch of work for FOSS developers to do, but not on actually getting any of it done.

WE ARE GOING TO WAR

I didn’t tho.

You’re confusing my homelab with my dads OMV NAS that is running kopia as its only non-standard service because I wanted to use it as my off-site target.

I wasn’t presenting OMV as the solution to all of OPs examples, I literally just commented to point out “hey this is kinda like hexos but foss”.

To which you responded “lol no, there is no comparison”. Which is both untrue, and a rude way to go about saying anything.

I don’t use docker via a GUI. And I don’t run docker at all on the NAS running OMV.

My backup solution is Kopia. Two servers, each running an instance that backs up local storage to the other.

OP isn’t talking about a full homelab. If all you need is a home VPN and some network storage via SMB, OMV is fine.

For my homelab, OMV would be clunky af. For the NAS at my dad’s end, it’s ideal.

For a free foss alternative, look at OMV (OpenMediaVault).

Most of what a user might need is fairly simple to set up in the webUI, and if you know what you are doing, you can still go into the underlying debian system and do whatever you like.
