If there's one thing that is going to drive me away from Gnome, it's the crappy GTK file managers.
Thunar has some odd drag and drop bugs that bug me, and the way it focuses on the panes is very odd, so often I will think one pane is in focus when it's not.
Double commander is just a mess
Nautilus is broken on my install.
Nemo doesn't remember position. Same with pcmanfm.
I tried Krusader and it doesn't work great in Gnome. Neither does Dolphin.
@thelinuxcast this sounds weird, indeed. I assume there is nothing very helpful when running it with debug flags from the command line? Or any other meaningful logs?
The only thing that comes to my mind with this behavior is „thumbnail generating“.
@thelinuxcast if nautilus really behaves this way, it seems like a bug to me. Yet, it is considered to be running in GNOME, so I don’t see this behavior fixed/adjusted soon.
The thing that is bugging me about Gnome right now is that there aren't really any good GTK file managers out there. Thunar is the closest, but it has some features that just aren't as good as Krusader.
I guess I will just give in and install the 145 packages needed to install Krusader.
@thelinuxcast this is around for ages. But it also seems to be related to certain apps. Vscode for example opens the file picker in the background all the time for me.
It's always good to get through a tutorial, and get to the hardest effing part and the person doing the tut just says "do this" and not how. That is infurating.
My issue with itsfoss is not about being unreachable occasionally. It is the massive wall of adds. So much that some browsers reload your page multiple times before being able to read a mere 300 words article.
And so much that I am almost seeing the adds for diapers, watches, adobe products and temu intimidating that I want to opt out of your page.
Sometimes I want to write things down that aren't appropriate for an issue/todo, but there's no obvious place to do so. At once point I stood up a Cryptpad instance, but that was too heavy and nobody wanted to use it and read things that were in there. I keep looking for a middle ground for longer form things like planning documents, but I'm never sure where they should go.
I thought about just putting markdown files in a repo, but nobody will want to check out the repo and make PRs to edit them.
GitHub has a wiki, but nobody uses that. I could build my own wiki I suppose, but then it would require people to create accounts and stuff. There's no real good answer.
Is there a way in #Gnome to make the right Super (aka "Windows") key behave like the left one? It would be nice to be able to lock the screen with one hand. Besides, I have zero idea what the "right Super" is even supposed to do on Gnome, because it doesn't obviously do anything except not act like a Super key.
Given that I see calls for better support for those random opensource devs that happen to maintain some of the most important pieces of software on the planet: a good friend of mine is maintaining expat - possibly the most important+popular xml library out there - and he has a message in his latest changelog that you may want to read: https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_6_2/expat/Changes
I can only guess why he isn’t publishing something. Below are my reasons not to accept donations.
Sebastian seems to be from Germany (like me).
As soon as you accept any kind of donations in Germany, it will make you a „forprofit Organisation“. This comes with lots of legal constraints, tax related stuff, etc. Furthermore, the mere providing of open source software is not considered charity work nor nonprofit in Germany.
See my swag, see my swag. For #clt2024, one of the biggest #opensource events in Germany, the #ansible booth is well equipped, again. Thanks to @cybette and my trusty 3D printer, we will have some give-aways again.
So, you just started with #ansible? Or maybe you want to improve in it? In the past, I wrote a couple of articles about @ansible , how you can get started and practical examples.
I hope these help you with #OpenSource#Automation. In case you miss something or want to provide feedback, please get in touch. I would love to address your topics, too.
For users of any operating system, not just #Linux, what might keep you from trying/running an #immutable#Fedora desktop? If you are already running one, why did you choose it?
