Oh that looks good. Gonna check it out.

Back when I was on windows, I didn’t even bother with clients anymore. The new outlook has ads in it and barely works.

I use Thunderbird now since they updated their interface and it’s very pretty and fast. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

Oh wow you can? I just switched to Nemo on Arch after using Thunar for a long time but I got annoyed at it for crashing a lot when I copy files to my FTP server. Very good to know!

Very cool :)

Didn’t know that!

Nice, I’m one of the 4 people who use Wayfire. I really like it and it fits my workflow perfectly. Happy to see it getting some updates!

You don’t. I don’t make the rules.

I’m gonna vouch for EndeavourOS on this one. It’s Arch based but it has very sane defaults. It’s the spiritual successor to Antergos.

For sure. I daily drove it for a long time many years ago when it was starting.

I tried it again recently when I was looking for a Linux OS for my moms 2009 white MacBook, since the default DE wouldn’t be too hard for her to understand.

I forgot how you legit can’t customize anything without external tools, PPAs and DEB support is disabled and requires a terminal command to enable, which is not user friendly at all for people new to Linux. Their App Store is also super buggy and the updates would make it crash every time I tried to run them, so again, had to resort to the terminal.

Lastly, I was surprised at how poorly it ran. I know it has a Core 2 Duo and « only » 6 GB of RAM, but every other distro I tried (Solus, Mint Cinnamon, Fedora) ram perfectly fine.

It’s just sad because it used to be a nice distro IMO. Now I can’t see myself recommending it.

/rant over, sorry

I came back to Linux about a month ago. I was nervous at first that my stuff wouldn’t work, it required a bit of tweaking to get everything how I want it, but I’m happy to be here :) I use Arch btw

10+ years here, not sure how long because I deleted my account.

I deleted it towards the end of June, when Christian announced Apollo was closing down, and how Spez fucked him by twisting his comments.

I was very active in *Nix subs, like Linux, Ubuntu, elementaryOS, helping users. I was also active in the macOS patching subs (mojave / Catalina / OpenCore legacy), with guides and news. So there’s definitely some substance lost by me deleting all my posts / comments. Do I care? Not really.
