heartlessevil , in Tabby: A terminal for a more modern age

more evidence that “modern” just means “written in javascript”

AbidanYre ,

What? No thank you.

bored_boar_onboard ,

Also, over 1400 open issues feels like a lot.

Sheesh, I thought it looked nice, but I think I’ll just stick to gnome-terminal.

mvirts ,

Lol for the longest time I thought gnome shell terminal was the same as gnome terminal

addie ,
@addie@feddit.uk avatar

Yeah; if Gnome terminal had slightly better tab configuration it would be all the terminal I’d ever need, I think. Using it as an IDE (couple of Vim / YouCompleteMe tabs, a build tab, a unit test tab) is a bit of a finger twister to flip between.

Fryboyter ,

Issues on Github consist not only of bug reports, for example, but also of feature requests. If, for example, you only display issues with the label “Enhancement” at github.com/Eugeny/tabby, there are already over 300 of them. In addition, I have made the experience that often reported issues arise from Layer 8 problems. And that some issues, unfortunately, are not closed when they are outdated. Generally speaking and not related to this terminal emulator.

By the way, according to github.com/vim/vim/issues, the editor vim has over 1,300 issues. Also in this case, not all of them are actual problems that need to be fixed.

I really hate this trend of making absolutely everything a web view / Electron.

Also, gaming works out of the box on my hardware (my gfx card wasn’t fully supported by 5.x kernel)

I love the humour in it

airbussy , in OpenRGB: Open source, cross-platform RGB lighting control that doesn't depend on manufacturer software

Are there any fancy frontends for it on Linux? I found OpenRGB a few years back through Artemis, but I believe that’s Windows only…

Artemis has been ported to Linux since then!

taanegl , in Ubuntu trying to install snap AND Firefox even though I have removed them a year back

I’m convinced it’s just Shuttleworth with remote shell access to your system via the official snapd package and he’s just installing stuff for the hell of it.

mrh OP , in Certificate of Destruction

Comeau

deong , in Can you recursively chown all files in the folder linked by a symbolic link?

I’m not in front of a computer to test, but the man page would suggest that chown -HR would do the trick.

Kalcifer OP , (edited )

Ah, dang, yeah that would do it. Thank you!

It appears I have misread the stack exchange posts I was looking at. I thought I read that they said that chown, by default, traverses the symbolic link, but, in actuality, what they were saying was that it, by default, changes the ownership of the target file of the symbolic link.

Lol nice find

ElectroLisa , in KDE Wayland for Gaming

If you’re playing competitive FPS games then Wayland still isn’t there, use X11 instead. Outside of it, I’d say it’s worth a shot, it goes especially well with FreeSync monitors.

Your experience will vary from your GPU vendor too. I have an AMD card so Wayland is a smooth experience for me, if you’re on Nvidia then you will most likely face issues.

I’ve noticed a bug where in GPU bound scenarios entire desktop is lagging. This issue happens for me on Wayland but not X11. I don’t know what’s causing it, could be my graphics card running out of its 4 GB of VRAM.

TL;DR give it a try, you can easily switch between X11 and Wayland.

marmalade ,

I would say the exact opposite if you’re playing competitive FPS. Xorg tears and is super jittery like a motherfucker. Wayland is the only thing that properly drives my 240hz monitor.

SingularEye , in Certificate of Destruction

that’s hilarious

croobat , (edited ) in Why don't more distributions have something like the AUR when it's the main reason why so many people use Arch Linux?
@croobat@lemmy.world avatar

I use Arch because pacman sounds cooler than apt, wakka wakka.

USE flags let you enable/disable parts of software that you normally have no control over. If you don’t use bluetooth, for example, you can choose not to build bluetooth components when installing software.

Ubuntu

maiskanzler ,

I love the dock

maiskanzler ,

I love the stability of LTS

maiskanzler ,

It's easy to use

maiskanzler ,

A lot of proprietary software is easier to install here

maiskanzler ,

I can use the same OS on my servers

@samwise@kbin.social avatar

easy enough to use for me (I'm a linux newb) and I can setup steam on it!
edit: forgot to mention I can get hibernation working on Ubuntu when I couldn't figure out how to do that in Fedora

jrubal1462 ,

Are you playing steam games that have Linux versions? Or is the “comparability mode” stable and fast enough that you don’t really have to think about it?

greyscale ,
@greyscale@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I don’t have time to fuck about, I use ubuntu mate because it gets out of my way and does what I expect it to do.

1draw4u ,

Shit just works

mvirts ,

For when I can’t get stuff to work on nixos 😅

JubilantJaguar ,

Because it just works. Because it’s based on free Debian and not corporate RedHat. Because mainstream Linux needs a flagship distro and that distro needs to be used and supported.

ehyuman ,

but Ubuntu is corporate, no?

tfkhdyt , in Tabby: A terminal for a more modern age

foot terminal enjoyer

aeroevan ,

My main complaint with foot is that I have to copy the terminfo everywhere, but other than that it just works I guess
