I don’t think anyone is claiming that common misconceptions somehow become correct, just that having that discussion with someone who doesn’t care is pointless. Also, pedantic discussions like that are something that might turn people off from trying out Linux
The start menu is definitely one of the most used things in my OS, personally, so I think it should be easily reachable. Opening the start menu and just typing the beginning of the name of a software, and hitting enter to launch it is pretty handy, imo. It also makes sense to me that it steals focus, especially in office programs, or visual studio, otherwise the shortcut wouldn’t make much sense in the first place. In that context, all it takes to return focus to the window you last used, is to press the same key again.
The only reason I understand why it’s disruptive is fullscreen games or other apps that take a while to unfocus, which is not really much of an issue anymore with modern hardware and borderless windowed “fullscreen” apps. I think a good solution would be to just disable that shortcut while a true fullscreen app is focused.
Maybe I have a different view on this because I barely ever accidentally press it in the first place.
I’m not sure about the “losing 10 minutes of work” part but I have to agree it’s stupid that users are unable to configure the shortcut in any way, and this workflow is kinda forced. I guess I don’t mind as much because I like that workflow.
If it was configurable, the default setting would be somewhat irrelevant but I also have to agree that a single key press stealing focus is maybe not the best design choice. I can also see how it’s more accessible and easier for new users but I guess it’s probably more annoying than helpful overall.
Like the title says, are there any EVs that just have a Bluetooth radio and that’s it? Like a normal car, not a smartphone on wheels? If not, do you all think that this will actually happen at some point? This is the main reason why I can’t (and will never) buy an EV. I like to have actual buttons everywhere on my car. I...
Update 1: Thanks for all the responses! I’ve gotten a lot of very good comments saying I should stick with Mint, and that’s sitting comfortably in my top two picks right now. Between new distros, I’m most interested in Arch’s rolling release model, as it provides some benefits for me for reasons I didn’t really get...
Hi! I’m getting a new laptop any day now and I plan on going back to Linux after maybe a decade on Windows. What works best for gaming nowadays? Is manjaro good for that? I prefer a distro with a nice name but of course that’s not the central thing. I’ll also do some book keeping, writing et cetera but I don’t think...
Ive used Nobara before and was pretty happy with that. Like bazzite it is made for gaming and mostly just works out of the box. I haven’t used bazzite though, so I can’t say which was better in my experience. But VR was still a hassle to set up for me
I have not been a part of the Linux community for very long but I’ve heard it a few times already, and since people usually don’t just pick random words as a post title, our brains start to look for any kind of connection a poster might have meant. Maybe an ootion for you would be to use very generic titles? Like “meme” or “image” maybe. I think this was mostly a really unfortunate coincidence, but I get that you’d rather just have a less political feed anyways.
