In Linux, it drives me nuts that most DEs don't remember window positions. IT MAKES ME INSANE!

Who decided this was the right way to do things? Where do I press charges?

Slight learning curve, but for me, Vanilla OS 2 Orchid is doing things right. They’ve made container management easy and fairly intuitive, allowing a user to set up their GNOME desktop as they please by combining tools available from various sources. Is this tool available from the u until repository? Doesn’t matter because another will have it.

I helped my friend with his laptop, I cloned his disk to an external SSD and reinstalled Windows for him and I have to ask #Microsoft, why is your system install so bloody convoluted? Take a clue from #Linux and make that shit quick and simple.

Garuda just updated me to Plasma 6

Lots of bugs, my previous config was wiped, and I am having to redo everything I'd done to it.

Is this thing really ready to be pushed out like this?

I’ve struggled to understand Nitrux Linux, but it is teaching me new things. I’ve never used containerized systems and using distrobox is teaching me how to use one Distro yet access all the best parts of many.

#Linux is awesome, but the learning experience is the real winner!

I am a distro-hopper. I love trying new versions of #Linux desktops and such on different OSes. But, latele, it feels like there is nothing really new happening. I may have to branch out to some of the more exotic distros.

I was in a #Linux group today and asked for recommendations on a book or two to teach me how to do bash scripting, something a beginner could easily grasp and the response was "we don't encourage script kiddy level work"

It's that kind of elitist bullshit I often find so off-putting about the Linux community. Everyone had to start somewhere, after all.

Why don't more #Linux #Distributions have GUI tools for configuring Samba? I imagine, though maybe I am wrong, that SMB is ubiquitously used for network sharing, so you'd think it would be more user-friendly.

Personally, I can install samba and set the config file to my usergroup and make shares, but new users would find that very confusing.

Why have developers in the #Linux community decided that remembering window sizes and positions is a bad thing? I am really confused by this. As far as usability goes, it makes no sense to me. None!

I really would like an answer to this. At the very least, the ability to turn it on and off should be available.

Do you think Arch Linux developers go out of their way to make Arch difficult? Is it some kind of elitism in the community?

#Linux

I’m’a distro-hippin tonight! But it all looks so the same. I want a distro that will dazzle me with its looks and that isn’t Archcraft, which I have tried and is indeed gorgeous, but updates have always caused me great headaches.
