There’s a preview version of union in Plasma 6.7 I believe, although it’s a bit bare-bones IIRC.

Microsoft’s entire business plan seems to be to produce the shittiest possible interpretation of every single piece of software they can think of, and then have it become the default that everyone uses for some fucking reason.

Are you using btrfs by any chance? I think copy-on-write can sometimes cause delays in Dolphin. Mine doesn’t always update the free disk space right away when I delete a file, for example.

I always felt like Canonical had a big problem with going all-in on something they thought was neat (the Unity desktop, Mir, that thing where phones and desktops were supposed to merge, now Snaps) and letting everything else stagnate, then getting the thing they were working on to the point where it was almost good, then dumping it and going after the next shiny thing.

But yeah these days I think things like Pop!OS and Mint are better Ubuntus than Ubuntu is.

I think one of the main hurdles for Linux is having to break habits and do things differently, and occasionally just accepting that there are some things you can’t do (like playing games that have certain anti-cheat things enabled etc.) As well as the occasional “well I could probably make this work eventually, but is it worth the effort?” kind of situation.

There’s nothing especially I miss from Windows, although I’ve been mostly Linux for 15+ years now so Windows is the other, weird OS to me these days lol

Still a bigger pile of gold than I have now lol

Yeah there is: https://lemmy.ml/c/unixporn

If they’re worth about the same, I’ll still take the gold then. My logic being: 1. I’m not American. 2. I just think having a big pile of gold is cooler.

‘Jam’ can mean a fruit preserve, to play music, a stuck door, traffic, to cram something into something else, a tense situation, or to block a radio signal. All spelled and pronounced the same.

Bibata Modern Ice here!

Good. As a European person using Linux in Canada, I refuse to engage with any extra nonsense on my computer just because some American states are being idiotic. Even if it’s just one extra click, I’m not doing it just because California says I should. Get fucked

I’ve been using Vim for 20 years.

I only opened it once and I haven’t been able to close it yet

I started putting together a RAID, got the housing and the first drive, the plan was to buy a drive with each paycheck until I had the 4 drives I need. The first drive was like $250, arrived last week. Then I checked the price this week and the same drive is now $650.

I use a yubikey on my laptop, but I use it to make it even harder to log in. It’s set to challenge-response so you have to have the key in and enter a password to unlock LUKS. Bit overkill but it was more just to see if I could do it lol

It’s like magic too, because any new weird kind of package manager I add, it’s just picks it up and starts updating it. It can even update Windows apparently.

I use an unholy blend of paru, Flatpak, Docker and AppImage apps (no Snap!) with Topgrade to update it all.

I have a .scripts folder in home with a bunch of things. Most of them are for backups, aka they just rsync a bunch of things from different places into one place on my backup drive. I also have one called get_trailers that I can run in my Radarr folder which takes the names of any movie folders in there and uses yt-dlp to search and grab the trailers from Youtube and puts them in the correct folders alongside the movie.

I actually find it pretty helpful for tech support stuff. It doesn’t always get it right, but it’s usually at least in the right general area and TBH it beats going through endless forums where the answer is buried among 8 pages of people bickering about nothing, or those ones where someone has your exact problem and then replies “nm I fixed it” and doesn’t say what they did.

I tried out a game/demo thing that was a tester for AI NPC dialogue. I asked an NPC to tell me about himself and he replied that he could not connect to server lol
