Fedora. I’ve been using it since Fedora Core 1 and was mostly RedHat before that. I don’t have time to muck around with my desktop and Fedora almost always just works. I’ve had too many problems with Ubuntu and Suse and friends. And while I like Arch and Debian and others, I just want my desktop to be point and click. My days off tinkering on my desktop are long gone. Kids, house, work, wife, grandkids, other hobbies keep me busy. I save tinkering for my selfhosting adventures.

You should also be able to disable the repo from within the Software store app

If you have another USB drive, I think you should be able to load the wifi drivers from that when using the netinstall. I am pretty sure I remember doing that 15 years ago.

Gnome because it is the default in my district, works right out of the box and I’m too old to fart around with customizing things anymore.

I just want to get to work.

I am one of those gifted folks that enjoy astigmatism. I have tried dark mode and dark themes many times over the years and it just doesn’t work for me. The screenshots are gorgeous tho!

Agreed, OpenAudible is fantastic. I’ve been an audible member for ages. I really only listen to my books when commuting and traveling and the pandemic set me back in my listening. Using OpenAudible allows me to keep my library available on any device and use any application to listen.

Item1: I would love something along these lines. Honestly, I wish I could configure Thunderbird to be my journal and reference my to-do items programmatically from inside journal entries.

Similar to your wish for first class dark mode, I want light mode to also be first class. Too many apps lately have made dark mode default and the light mode is unusable.

Yeah, me too. Whenever Fedora made the move to Wayland by default for Gnome.

I lucked out. When I was ready to pull the trigger it was just a couple of weeks before the next batch shipped. Got mine in just a few weeks.

I love my Framework. It may not feel as polished physically as the XPS. If you can find one in the wild to touch and try, I would recommend doing so.

Screenshots shouldn’t be optional, and if dark and light themes are provided in the app, then show both. It’ll help users decide to try out the app. In my opinion, a lack luster presentation will discourage potential users.

I do lean towards the guidelines being enforced. As a user, it’ll give me more confidence in flatpaks.

Laptop and Workstation run Fedora. Servers run Proxmox.

Can’t say that there is anything new and exciting. Big change for me has been that I have accepted flatpacks. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t care about being a purist, don’t care about customizing and theming everything. I just want to use my computer.

There were some good pieces on Groklaw back in the day about the history of unix and Linux.

dotfiles please. Would love your xresources

If that is the case, then you should be very happy to leave Linux for a proprietary OS that Nvidia works on and properly supports.

Odd, I don’t see it.

Great stuff! How about WindowMaker?

Wow, what a blast from the past! Thanks for digging this up

I haven’t seen this paperwm. I’ll have to check it out.

I have tried it. It resizes windows weirdly. I haven’t dug through the settings for it, so it could be fixable. No matter how I resize my terminal, it always snaps to smaller than a quarter of the screen. Thunderbird seems to always resize bigger than a quarter of the screen. It’s still better than nothing, but I’d love for it to be built in.
