Wait, I remember Mate being a Gnome2 fork but Cinnamon? The more you know… :o

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.

Good grief :V

Aha! Gotcha, that does bring back dome distant memories.

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

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! ^^

Mint is solid. I hope you have a great time on it!

I’ll also add that sometimes people project a lot and have a hard time understanding that recommending advanced stuff to beginners is counterproductive more often than not, no matter how much they like said stuff. It’s frustrating. It’s important to meet people where they are and take their needs and goals into account.

Awwwww :3

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… :(

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. :(

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!

To be fair there was less to compile, but that still sounds like a lot…

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.

WAIT it totally was shut down when I tried to reconnect a while back!!!

I’m so recovering my account lol

They pulled the plug on it years ago… :c

Because it’s fun.

I like having fun.

I think things got lost in translation here. We’re not talking about explicit/pornographic content here. There are other tags that cover that. This, however, indicates sexual orientation in general which covers any display of affection that characterizes same gender couples, including kissing, holding hands or be explicitly in a relationship, which is no less appropriate for kids than straight smooching.

Hope that helps

Nisaea, 20 days ago

Oh yeah, absolutely. It, unfortunately, a reality.

To mine as well, I’m with you on that one.

Perfect knitting content

An excellent place to start is linuxjourney.com to get you started!

Nono, arch breaks too, with no pebcak involved. Been there. Dude’s just been lucky.

Nisaea, 28 days ago

Updates break shit on EndeavourOS too. You’ve just been lucky.

Ask me how I know.
