General love of all things linux and the choice it provides. I prefer to hang my hat in gentoo with e16 but do like to keep up with other stuff.

@nicknonya If it truly is "different" you want, take a look at stuff like Tiny Core Linux, MenuetOS, or ReactOS. If you want a bit more milder different, may go with a BSD/UNIX. There's loads of really weird stuff out there if you dig around a bit. Or just plunder DistroWatch for somethin that strikes you. Who knows, you may just find a new comfortable on yer journey. 😁

@TimeSquirrel @nicknonya Been runnin basically the same setup for the better part of ~20 years. That's not gonna stop me from playin with stuff I don't know or like though.

@Successful_Try543 Fair point, yes! ...but I did recommend it as a "truly different" choice. 😉

@krash @steeznson I always recommend to anyone interested in learning about linux. I'd advise LFS only as a follow up to that once they have an understanding of what goes where.

@barbara Is bash itself not already an improvement on ""the basic stuff""?

...and whitespace in filenames is simply unacceptable, and should not be encouraged. 😆

What's wrong with the method we've been usin forever of working with dumbly named files? Just "enclose em", or use an escape char in em.

Easily find program name from context menu/without terminal?

I occasionally need to know the names of programs. I asked here about "Run as Administrator" being added to the context menu (like in Windows), and the response was basically "can't be easily done". an example is if I wish to edit a config file it cannot be done without accessing the terminal. Knowing the name "gedit" is the...

@flork Granted it's listed in a mimeapps.list file, you should easily be able to pull the program name out of there by querying against the file in question's mimetype.

And while "can't be easily done" may be generally true, don't call it quits; some file managers may offer less "not easy" than others. Don't end your customization exploration because the file manager you currently use can't do what you want, try fiddlin round with some others. The process for each file manager is going to be different, and getting the name of the program for any filetype is also going to differ depending on the syntax required for altering each different file manager.

@perishthethought You could very easily use as a launcher for each game! Just set them up as you were launching a single game from the terminal. As far as a 3rd party GUI goes though, really is the most straight forward yer gonna find. Setting it up is not as huge an undertaking as it first appears. I'd be happy to help you get it configured if you need, just holler.

@Sunny @minamoog It'd be hard to argue for anything against ! The only time it's not pleasing to look at is when it's littered with [ B ] markers. 😆

First real Arch user moment [Mission Failed]

(Bonus update) I’m back on KDE6 and it’s actually working! I ran Cinnamon for about a day before missing KDE and tried a fresh install of EndeavourOS. It worked fine, Wayland still doesn’t work but I’m only getting minor bugs with x11 compared to when I tried to update from 5.27...

Android Keyboard with keypad? ( lemmy.ml )

I’ve looked under my bed, in our pantry,and even went under the deck, nothing. Please help me find a FOSS android keyboard in which I can have the numbers to the right of the keyboard, like a computer keyboard keypad, even better if it has gifs… The only android keyboard I know about that has that option is Swiftkey. Being a...

@wwwgem I've been extremely pleased with @tuxedocomputers in both product quality and support. Next laptop will assuredly be another from them.
