It’s crazy that cloudflare of all people even had unwrap enabled. Whenever I use unwrap in some tiny little not important thing I always treat it as a temporary thing that I need to come back and fix before the software is actually ready for anyone to seriously use
Yeah but you kind of need codecs from packman or you’re going to have a bad time if you want like streaming or video calls. Unless more things are included out of the box now?
As someone who uses and likes tumbleweed I don’t know if I would recommend it for inexperienced users. Once you start adding third party repositories for things like video codecs, dependency issues can get really nasty. Zypper will always offer you solutions to resolve them, but if you aren’t careful which one you select you can easily do stuff like accidentally remove your network driver which is a very annoying problem to have
I’m sure you could manage to do a lot of things without a terminal on something like Fedora or Mint, but you really should just learn to use the command line. If you’re expecting it to be anything close to the windows command line it is not, it’s way easier to use and you’ll be able to do things so much faster than you ever could with a gui on windows. Learning everything you really need shouldn’t take more than a couple hours.
The one other option I can think of is ChromeOS Flex, but even there you’re going to have a way better experience if you learn to do things from the command line when appropriate
I have lots of shortcuts bound to it except I never press it because I have the caps lock key mapped to the same keycode and that’s easier to press
Honestly it’s the most problem-free distribution I’ve used. I’ve used fedora, ubuntu, opensuse, and they all are way easier to break and way harder to fix. Once you get arch working it works really reliably and when it occasionally breaks it’s easy to fix. I used nixos for a while, and it is more reliable but it’s just a little too much effort.
They bothered to add infrared but not a headphone jack? Those are some bizarre priorities
You could make the world’s worst computer cluster, that could be fun. I think there are several open source tools for doing clustering
Except this is on the linux community so “third party applications” is every application
Well you’ll need food to eat while you’re doing the industrial revolution and getting ready to build your computer
Opensuse dysphoria unlocked. But I guess I’m also a debian, arch, and nixos user so it cancels out
(Which you can disable, luckily. I still use the classic layout with the table of emails on top and the selected email below)
I think if we want something like that to be consistent everywhere we need to stop using Ctrl so much as a modifier for non-terminal tasks. It doesn’t solve everything, but using Alt or Super for copy and paste like Haiku and MacOS do is a big step in the right direction. It’s just hard to change an established custom without making the whole experience less consistent
If it was starbucks it would be like cramplestiltskin size or something not medium
There’s also a medium version that’s heavier than that but lighter than the default UI https://html.duckduckgo.com/
But hey! It’s got AI garbage just like real notepad
Awful name, do not intentionally name your product the exact same thing as a similar but separate product
Honestly the biggest thing is just READ WHAT IS ON THE SCREEN. So many people just refuse to read when the computer is literally telling them exactly how to resolve a problem
I feel like if someone else has had physical access to the computer though secure boot isn’t going to really protect you. It could have a hardware keylogger in it now for all you know. I mean that’s probably unlikely, but is it really that much more unlikely than someone sneakily replacing kernel modules and things instead of just installing user mode malware that secure boot wouldn’t catch?
Not true in my experience, I would say the majority of windows users I see these days use edge and bing. Most don’t use copilot though
