I made this some years ago for my niece who I think was around 6 years old at the time. I’m very happy with how it turned out. Sorry, I don’t remember what pattern I used. I stuffed it with old socks and T-shirts that I cut into pieces.
Thanks for the detailed reply! Now that I think about it I do vaguely remember a desktop with GNOME shell featured and a bar at the bottom.
Man, the early days of GNOME 3 were awkward. I remember desperately trying stuff out now that GNOME 2 was phased out and ending up making my own de over openbox in the end. What a frustrating era.
I’ve had growing pains for KDE on Wayland in the past but it’s been chill in recent times too, I can’t remember having any issue related to that for a long time
Hi, first time posting on lemmy, I hope yall will enjoy my late grandfather's happy lil Mac Plus! Maxed out at 4MB of RAM and modded with power through SCSI and a low rpm fan. That's a fully working ImageWriter on the left. :)
I’m a long time Windows user who has experience with WSL. Last year, I needed a laptop for university, and out of laziness, opted for a Macbook since, although they’re expensive as hell, are reasonably reliable....
The website linuxjourney.com is often recommended to new Linux users, for good reasons. Since you’re already experienced in CS and WSL you’ll find a lot of things you already know, but there’s always things to learn for everyone in there. Cheers! ^^
For those of you who don’t know, Linux From Scratch is a project that teaches you how to compile your own custom distro, with everything compiled from source code....
Absolutely this. Arch can be a first good distro, but only for a limited subset of new users with a very specific goal in mind. Anybody who says it’s any more stable than Debian or mint is either delusional, very lucky or disingenuous. I’ve never had to chroot into my system to roll back a bugged grub update on fedora, Debian or Ubuntu, but on Arch yes. And I’m saying that with love from EndeavourOS. I love my system to bits but I’m realist enough to acknowledge the reason why I am comfortable on it is that I have enough years of experience on Linux to not stress about what to do when something breaks.
Hi there! I hope it’s ok to ask this here. I’ve been wanting to crochet an almost floor length cardigan, so I would need a lot of yarn. The pattern said they used a Level 4/Worsted weight yarn and had a gauge of 8 stitches and 6 rows on 4"x4". Now, I can’t really find out what equals as worsted weight yarn here in Europe,...
Just wanted to add, don’t hesitate to use more than 1 thread of yarn at once. It’s really easy to triple your working yarn as you go by pulling big loops from each other. Look it up on YouTube, it’s really hard to explain with words but that technique is genius.
That tracks, I also happen to be on Konsole and Plasma 6! That explains things!
About the video, it’s a wordless demonstration with minimal in-terminal narration and … Mozart as the soundtrack for some reason? The whole thing along with the manpages-only doc did give me newbie-hostile, elitist vibes which were a stark contrast with zellij’s “look at all the cool things I can do!”, friendly approach.
Don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate well written manpages, goodness knows they’re often written as an afterthought, but zellij’s documentation is just amazing at getting you started and understand the philosophy with a super hands-on approach. Honestly, kudos to them.
divulgâcheI’m more of a Vivaldi kinda gal anyway lol :V
So I’ve tried them both, since you re-inspired me to do so the other day, and I have to say I’m very impressed with Zellij so far. I understand it’s still an ongoing project that will need a lot of polish, but so far feels like it has a philosophy that I can actually meaningfully integrate in my workflow, especially custom layouts. I still have a lot to learn about it to have areally good idea fo how that would work out though, but I can already see myself usign it in projects I have in mind and the documentation is really thorough. ^^
Byobu, on the other hand, oof. That was not a welcoming experience. I had to read the man pages to get a decent idea about how it works in general, because the pretentious video tutorial on their website was a disaster. None of the shortcuts I tried from what they were showing did what they were supposed to do. Configuration issue, most likely, but I’m not going to dive head first into config files so I can try it out properly. That was very, very weird.
Thanks again for your insight and motivating me to give them a go!
And they spectacularly fucked up the release. Doesn’t compile, and they hurriedly edited stuff including comments calling the original DOS creator “brain-dead”.
Idk man, EndeavourOS on KDE has been amazing to me, even on Wayland. Even the plasma 5 to 6 upgrade has been ridiculously smooth. I have a feeling arch may not be the most unified distro to judge a DE on… Hope stuff stabilizes for you a bit. That’s no fun. :(
What in the world… I use KDE everywhere, we even use it many workstations at work and I’ve seen no such thing it’s been smooth sailing. I hope whatever’s causing this is nothing too serious because that’s NOT normal… :(

You’ve been lucky. I’ve been daily driving EndeavourOS for a few months now and I really love it but it did spontaneously break spectacularly twice already due to updates.
