take a look at the Spritely Institute.

also, IRC logs are usually public and searchable. that’s actually how we got hunter2

the screenshot functionality is now built into GNOME Shell with a better UI

As an Emacs user, Neovim was like chains. Shackles.

Vim lacks anything good, except maybe the keybindings.

Fucking hate YAML. With every fibre of my being. YAML needs tO GTFO

they took over the rest of the internet, now they’re coming for you.

seriously, where are their parents?

yes.

oh, you haven’t seen nothing yet. you know the lisp-y, hackable goodness you get in emacs? what if an init system was that hackable, and configured with a lisp? go give GNU shepherd a try.

I just let it do partitioning automatically, or do it manually with GNOME Disks.

I just mean, do you ever get scared of showing hidden files in your hone directory? My install isn’t even a year old, and I do.

How does your home directory look?

oh, the init system. these days, systemd is the default, although other init systems do have their vocal proponents.

Even native apps usually use cross-platform toolkits which usually have very good Linux support. E.g. Qt, .NET, WxWidgets, GTK (maybe)

I don’t know, that was my experience on KDE. I got it to behave and look the way I wanted, but it was slow, buggy, and prone to crashing. I’ve never gone near anything “customizable” since.

the KDE users really are being salty with this one

I’m sure you could make it look like whatever your head meat blob can come up with, but eventually you’re five hours deep in a rabbit hole nobody has ever gone down and uncovering software bugs that god himself didn’t know about, just trying to make the damn thing usable.

On GNOME, I don’t have to worry about any of that - the OOTB experience is just fine. For anyone.

Given how much Apple users love the products, I don’t have a big problem with certain parts of the design. My nitpicks are mostly about the walled gardens and proprietary-ness. The seamlessness and the efficiency/functionality of their products deserve admiration (when not combined with corporate greed, of course).

The way you work might not be the best way to work. That’s kind of the realization I had to have to use GNOME - now using anything else feels like a chore.
