I switched to Chrome probably a decade ago, because at the time it was significantly faster. I switched to chromium at some point and ended up back on Firefox when Google’s password manager stopped working on every browser except Chrome. Firefox is noticeably faster these days and doesn’t crash as often.

David Bowie and Muppets don’t really mean anything to me, and I can rarely tolerate a musical.

just press the system button plus the assigned letter and I’m in the app I want.

Oh, that would be excellent. You could even set them to be the same on desktop for equivalent applications.

I think one of the Linux phones has a physical keyboard. That’ll likely be my choice if I can afford it when my current one stops being viable.

There are only 2 software keyboards I’ve found where I didn’t have to look at the screen as I typed. 8-Pen which took forever to type anything on and Minuum which hasn’t updated in years, but you can pry from my cold dead hands.

I never used a BlackBerry, but I miss the slide out keyboard my first couple smartphones had.

I’m pretty sure they were being sarcastic. I’ve definitely heard of the movie. I just haven’t seen it (and won’t since it’s apparently a musical).

Since everyone in the comments seems to know, what’s this a reference to?

You don’t get in touch with “people in Antifa”, because there’s no such thing as being “in” Antifa. It’s the idea of being against fascism, not a group of people.

I was introduced to this game by a friend and played it all the time! There was a sequel too.

And he’s incapable of creating anything. And he has zero charisma.

KDE is available for Ubuntu. There’s even an edition that ships with KDE (Kubuntu).

It was likely some kind of money laundering scheme.

You may want to try Arch in a vm before daily driving it. It’s an excellent distro, but vanilla Arch is a far cry from SteamOS.

I just installed Mint to an external SSD this weekend to try and get my grandma to try it out. I really don’t want her scared into thinking she needs to go out and waste a few hundred on a new laptop.

I love that you replied to the wrong comment -one which this makes no sense as a reply to- and got upvoted anyway.

Neither of those are package managers. That’d be Pacman and Portage.

You know somebody’s putting barebones LFS on one of those drives.

Hotmail was owned by Microsoft when I signed up in the late 90s. It’s no surprise it’s still around. It hasn’t been my primary email for a long time, but I still use it as my MS account. So really it’s just my Minecraft account.

Hm…could be useful for those times you want to read a guide but can only find one in video form

Oh, it’s a game now? Back when I dabbled with it (early 2000s) it was a simulator as the name says. Flightgear is an open source simulator that, according to pilots, feels more realistic.

Is there any reason to choose MSFS over Flightgear other than simply being unaware of the latter’s existence?
