I think this is a good idea; giving folks, by default, more control over what is going onto to their systems. Reduces the bloat and the ISO size is definitely useful in certain situations. Power of choice to the users!
not sure how much you’re wanting to pay, but this doesn’t sound too bad. I’m looking to upgrade soon myself. I have a 40 inch dumb 1080 Element TV. It works well still, but wanting bigger and 4k. I’ll probably move the one i currently have to my son’s room.
edit: there are some better deals I think. That was just one of the first links. It’s only 60hz, you might find one that’s 120hz for not much more.
Have you tried it with a different enclosure or directly connected to your PC? My last two “faulty” HDDs actually just had a faulty controller in the enclosure. Drives were fine.
Until we see what this actually means, it’s just speculation.
But I will say this, I dropped Ubuntu when they forced snaps on me, I only needed super slim server installs that I could make into what I needed. As a result this actually doesn’t mean much to me, other than its clear that Ubuntu has been making bad decisions in the last few years.
However, If I couldn’t install a minimal desktop with no apps like libreoffice, firefox and a bunch of stupid games, I would be pissed right off.
One more version without the obvious UPnP. At this point I think they’re not implementing UPnP in order to somehow profit from the lack of it in the future. Who on their right minds wants all traffic going over a server when in most cases you can simply use UPnP? This makes no sense.
Also yet another version with the address book not implemented, but I bet the sign in button is still on the client to continue to confuse new users. Almost 2 years that button has been there to do nothing.

@mikegioia kde and xfce support it natively. For gnome you have the material shell extension that brings a similar experience
light wm does not necessarily provide layout out of the box, but it may be scriptable
Confirming: KDE/Plasma has it natively. You can configure number of rows and columns, whether movement should be cyclic or not, and shortcuts to change desktop and to bring windows to other desktops. You can create and remove new virtual desktops on the spot by right-clicking the tray icon. Also shortcuts to get an overview of all desktops at once.
KDE also has a slightly different way of separating workspaces: “Activities” (which can co-exists with virtual desktops); although I don’t use it.
The old answer is a chroot jail, the new answer is a Docker container or VM if Docker won’t cut it.
I’m lazy, so Virtualbox is my VM software of choice. I keep a machine with a fresh debian install and just Clone it to make throwaway VMs.
Keep in mind that malicious software on a VM might be isolated from the host in many ways, but if it’s allowed to communicate on your network then it can still be dangerous, especially if you have samba shares, or services you don’t expose to the outside internet with weak or default passwords. (Did you change the admin password on your router’s Web interface?)
Creating a VM with no network interfaces is “mostly safe”, but you hear about VM bust out exploits now and then.
In reality, gold standard is a separate physical computer with no network connections to anything but other untrusted physical computers, and no wireless adapters (Bluetooth or WiFi). This is an “air gapped” network, but if you’re dealing with shit that makes you want an air gap, either you already know more than you’re gonna learn on Lemmy, or you’re bout to get your door kicked in by men in black suits :D
If you right-click on the Klipper tray icon, select “Configure…” and then “Shortcuts”, you can assign shortcuts to move back and forth in the kill ring, and to paste. I have assigned S-v for backwards and S-C-v for forward. Then the usual C-v will paste. The tray icon also shows you the current selection (and the ones above and below) in the killring, as you move through it.
That’s more or less what I do, but it’s not quite killring’y. The workflow I’m looking for is: paste as usual with ctlr-v, then press some shortcut to replace the pasted with the previous item in the “ring”, without having to go through the backwards process of first enabling klipper, then choosing item, and only then entering it.
But I’ll play around with it some more and see what I figure out.
Gotcha. Yes, haven’t found anything that allows that specifically. But in my case I don’t need to enable klipper; it’s always active. No matter which windows I’m in, pressing C-v will paste whatever it’s in the clipboard; whereas pressing e.g. S-v C-v will choose the previous item in the clipboard and then paste it.
PS: there’s also another functionality of Klipper that I use from time to time: you can make the whole “killring” appear, and choose the entry you want to paste with the mouse: as you click it it’s entered. This is also bound to a key (in my case S-w) and works no matter which window I’m in.
Which functionality is that? I haven’t found anything that enters the selected item directly, without having to C-v it afterwards. Besides, the mouse is a thing I want to avoid… I played around with some other functions, however, and I found out that cycling through the history items works fairly well for me.
For the list of all clipboard items, ready to be chosen: Klipper tray icon, right-click → Configure clipboard → Shortcuts→ “Open Klipper at Mouse Position”. You can choose from the list either with the up/down keys, or with the mouse.
Klipper’s item-cycling doesn’t require more keystrokes than Emac’s. For example, what I achieve in Emacs with C-y M-y M-y I achieve with Klipper with H-v H-v C-v (no need to operate with the mouse). H is the “hyper” or “super” key – but the keys are fully customizable.
PS: actually with Klipper I can go back and forth in the clipboard history too. I don’t know if this is possible in Emacs. For example, if I go back two history steps, and then realize that I went too far by one step, I’d type H-v H-v H-C-v C-v. The H-C-v is “undoing” the last H-v.
TDE (for those who haven’t encountered it before, the Trinity Desktop Environment forked from KDE3 more than a decade ago). It might not be the flashiest or the newest, but it has a decent selection of features and applications, and presents a traditional desktop environment whose interface doesn’t get changed for the sake of change. In other words, it stays out of the way and lets me get things done.
(If I’d liked Gnome 2 better than KDE 3 rather than vice-versa, I probably would have gone for MATE instead.)
The TDE crew have also taken on responsibility for maintaining TQT (formerly QT3). If you’re aware of any open bugs, go ahead and file them to the TQT3 repo on TDE’s Gitea and someone will have a look.
