I’m not a true mechanical keyboard enthusiast. I mean I like a good keyboard for typing code, so I rolled with model-Ms in the 80s and 90s, then some expensive Cherry keyboard I only recently retired because it was utterly spent (and it was PS/2), and now I happily use a Wooting Two HE....
When I used full size keyboard it knocked down my microphone so many times that it became anoying. Moving the keyboard away from microphone wasn’t an option because it wasn’t comfortable for my hands. Moving microphone itself also wasn’t an option because of the cabels and also there is no better position for it on my desk. Combine all of that with the fact that I didn’t even use numpad. Smaller keyboard is so much better for me but I see why some people like full size ones.
I read quite some time ago the foundation trilogy and “prelude to foundation”, and I was evaluating buying an ebook with the 7 books, (the trilogy plus the 2 prequels and the 2 sequels.)...
Today I watched a video about some information on Windows 12 hardware support. Video concluded with basically saying that if you own a laptop you will be forced to throw it away and buy another one. It’s sad because it isn’t true.
It’s sad that people think they wouldn’t be able to use their laptops. As far as I know nothing in that video is confirmed but it’s still sad that people think their old hardware that works should be replaced just because they can’t run new Windows version.
I’m personally using NewsFlash at the moment, and it’s perfectly fine, but its borders are completely incongruous with my theme, I assume they’re based around Gnome and I’m on Plasma, so I’m looking for a new one and was wondering what people here use?...
I’ve always just used konsole or gnome terminal. Never really looked into what else is available. Tried cool-retro-term the other day, but the novelty wore off pretty fast for me....
I am potentially going to be able to put Linux on my work PC soon, have been using it on my personal PC and laptop quite happily with hyprland ontop of NixOS...
I started fairly recently (probably somewhere between nine and seven years ago; time isn’t my strong suit, cut me some slack) on Debian. Now I’m on Arch Linux.
This is main reason why I don’t own any current gen console. Even those consoles that I have are bought second hand because I don’t want to support them in any way.
One thing I want to add is that all those companies are fighting against piracy of old games but don’t provide a way to play them on modern hardware. Mods are only way to play many old games (unless you want to pay hundreds od dollars for a second hand copy).
Mine is Strawberry since it has a ton of options and plays a ton of formats. It’s also (distant) fork of Amarok 1.4 and integrates well with KDE Plasma. I’m curious what other people are using these days. What’s your favorite player?
Replace bamboo with sugarcane. Connect all pistons with redstone. Add observer on top that looks at daylight sensor and connect it with rest of the redstone. That will activate all pistons few times during the day and you don’t need observer for every sugarcane. You can add one more observer with daylight sensor set to night mode so farm will activate during the night too. This won’t improve the rates (if we don’t count replacing bamboo with sugarcane) but it’s much cheaper than having 1 observer for each sugarcane like others recommended, especially for bigger farms.
Lately ive noticed that i was wanting to do certain things on Windows that just seemed much easier and more intuitive on Linux, based in the OS specific solutions i would see to problems i encountered. And i was more frequently using software where Windows support seemed like an after thought....
This reminds me of my first time installing Linux. I tried to install most recent version of Ubuntu at the time but for some reason it couldn’t install and it wiped out Windows partition. Fortunetely, I was able to install LTS version in first try.
I’m glad you are enjoying Linux. Welcome to the penguin land.
ok first of all, happy holidays or christmas to everyone!! happy debian day! but anyway i just wanted to ask something, why does ubuntu use its own version of gnome?? (taskbar in desktop, material colors, etc) i know that even distros like pop os! or fedora use vanilla gnome so why would canonical change the settings of gnome??...
After using Arch based distros for more than a year when I use any Debian/Ubuntu based distro it really feels like they aren’t for me, at least when it comes to daily driving. I still have a laptop with PopOS that I use for school, stable distro is a better option in my oppinion for that usecase because I use it twice a week (unless it’s summer or winter in which case I don’t use it at all).
Hi, everybody Recently, a guy noticed that I was using it and asked why? For me it because in Linux many things are done through the terminal because Linux has many different desktop environments...
