  • Oh nice. I like the name and the logo, too. Yeah, I'm fine messing with the terminal. I do it daily on purpose and avoid GUI so I can learn. If one wanted to make a gui for Heirloom, what would be the best approach? I think it would reach more people.

  • Awesome, thank you. Were you able to download the .exe file for it? I run my windows games through the heroic games launcher and when I redeemed the game it wanted me to install Amazon's games launcher and whatever so I just let it go

  • I don't know if they modified apt at all. I know they have their mint tools that call apt through some python code, like mintinstall = apt install <package> for the software manager and mintupgrade = apt upgrade for updating mint versions ... Etc

  • apt is a newer, more user-friendly front-end for apt-get and apt-cache.

    apt = combines commands like install, remove, update, upgrade into one tool, with prettier output

    #apt-get = older, lower-level, more script-friendly For normal use, just use apt now. For scripting where 100% backward compatibility matters, use apt-get.

  • Understandable. I personally don't really care that much to make a list about the flaws of a social media site (no judgement of course). I just coast along for a little bit and go back to reading my books.

    Why doesn't the Linux subreddit leave Reddit already?

    It's kind of ironic to me that Linux is all for free and open source, but still uses a proprietary platform, and a horrible one at that. Before the fediverse, I'd understand, but now, there is no excuse whatsoever.

    I understand that we can't just get up and leave everything proprietary behind all at once, since we have iPhones and Android phones. We all use proprietary software of some form, but I am of the mindset of using the least amount of proprietary possible.

    I will ALWAYS look for FOSS first. I also want to make it as hard as possible for any corporation to track me. They'll probably still be able to track me, but I'm not going without a fight.

    I could say the same about the Linux kernel using GitHub, but I understand how massive of an undertaking it would be to move the whole kernel to another platform. I'm sure there are other factors, too. Anyway, I just wanted to start a discussion and hear people's thoughts.
    Thank you

    This is going to be nice. Good first step.

    Why are the minimize/restoring windows is under the "appearance" category in Window Managment>Desktop Effects?

    I think it is confusing and not sorted correctly. There are categories in Window Managment>Desktop Effects:

    1. Accessibility
    2. Appearance: This has things I don't think even reflect the title of the category. And why does it have minimize and restore windows animations? Shouldn't those have their own? It also has the "Fall Apart" animation. Shouldn't that belong to the "Window Open/Close Animation"? When applied, it overrides whatever you choose in "Window Open/Close Animation". I'm a bit confused. Bottom line, this one has a variety of things, not only appearance things.
    3. Focus
    4. Peak at Desktop Animation
    5. Tools
    6. Virtual Desktop Switching Animation
    7. Window Management
    8. Window Open/Close Animation

    Could very well be my rusty English, I don't know. Am I the only who thinks that this section of the settings is kind of mixing many things? ![](https://lazysoci.al/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fdde7f82f-a0b9-4dc9-935f-f84d51b80dd8.

    What book would you love to see made into a movie?

    For me, it's King's "Fairy Tale". I think it would make a great movie. Here is to hoping that Hollywood hears my prayers. Lol

    Life After Microsoft Windows: Linux Rises

    This just warms my heart. The year of the Linux desktop isn't here, but the decade of it is.

    Looking for a "set it and forget it" distro

    Hi all, Relatively long time Linux user (2017 to be precise), and about two 3rds of that time has been on Arch and its derivatives.

    Been running Endeavour OS for at least 2.5 years now. It's a solid distro until it's not. I'd go for months without a single issue then an update comes out of nowhere and just ruins everything to either no return, or just causes me to chase after a fix for hours, and sometimes days. I'm kinda getting tired of this trend of sudden and uncalled for issues.

    It's like a hammer drops on you without you seeing it. I wish they were smaller issues, no, they're always major. Most of the time I'd just reinstall, and I hate that. It's so much work for me.

    I set things the way I like them and then they're ruined, and the hunt begins. I have been wanting to switch for a long time, and I honestly have even been looking into some of those immutable distros (that's how much I don't want to be fixing my system.

    I'm tired, I just want to use my system to get work do
