This is great, bookmarking for later. My polybar config opens nmtui in a floating kitty terminal when you click the networking icons. It’d be awesome to theme it accordingly.

Grangle1 , in GNOME vs KDE Plasma in 2024: which one is better for Linux beginners?

GNOME is more different from Windows, which means that users will have to put more effort in to get used to the UI, but it doesn’t have as many complicated settings or customizability for EVERYTHING that Plasma does, so it can be less confusing in that sense. I switched to primarily using Plasma a couple years ago and I’m probably with Plasma to stay, but personally I think GNOME might be better for Linux beginners. Though if you really want a beginner-friendly DE, go for Cinnamon.

you know the distro used a preexisting word and they liked the meaning. its like community or such in zulu.

tom42 , in GNOME vs KDE Plasma in 2024: which one is better for Linux beginners?
@tom42@lemmy.world avatar

A question with no right answer, because it is a matter of taste and habits.

Both are very much sophisticated desktop environments which very useful defaults. Neither Gnome nor Plasma are too complicated for beginners and can be customized easily. If you want to you can go very deep into the customization too.

Auzy , in How SUSE Is Replacing Red Hat as the Linux and Open Source Enterprise Standard-Bearer

To be blunt…

Redhat contributes a huge amount to the community.

The only ones who think they’re misstepping or whatever are just making noise and likely aren’t even using RHEL.

I don’t think people realise exactly how far their contributions go for usability, and getting rid of Redhat of actually a really bad thing for Linux.

I’d even argue, the only people complaining about this likely don’t contribute anything to Linux anyway…

The only thing they did is stop oracle pulling their repo, rebranding and selling support slightly cheaper.

nous ,

Redhat have done a lot for Linux in the past. And that will likely continue for some time yet. But they have done some seriously questionable things ever since IBM bought them out. I don’t like the direction they seem to be heading in as withmany of IBM products.

digdilem ,

I disagree with you. You seem keen to insult people who might hold an alternative opinion, so no doubt you’ll attack me as well.

Redhat did far more than just stymie Oracle. That you’re saying that suggests you’re either deliberately ignoring the facts (Ending CentOS 8 7 years early with no prior announcement, being massively disrespectful to the volunteer CentOS maintainers and support staff), deliberately paywalling source deliberately to target all rebuilders, not just Oracle, generally being amateurish and entitled dicks to the community through their official communications and so on) - or you simply don’t know.

About the only thing you say that is correct, is that Redhat do contribute a lot to FOSS, even now. That deserves respect, but it gets harder to do that at a personal level each time they do something simultaneously dumb and selfishly corporate. A lot of people have given Redhat a lot of space and stayed quiet out of respect of their history. Maybe they are right to, but the direction they’re heading doesn’t look healthy to me.

ReeSilva , in GNOME vs KDE Plasma in 2024: which one is better for Linux beginners?
@ReeSilva@bolha.forum avatar

Gnome if you come from MacOS, KDE if you come from Windows. But, for a beginner, I think that highly customized to be Windows-like Zorin OS or Linux Mint with Cinnamon would be better choices.

gencha , in I seem to have nuked my Debian DE (Gnome)... Could someone help me with this?

Double-check that your APT sources are exactly what you expect them to be.

Clean your APT cache. Then update it.

Try to fix broken packages again with apt install.

If the problem persists, look at every single package mentioned in the error. Go to the Debian packages website and look up what the current version for your release is. If there are any mismatches, try to resolve them by uninstalling these packages until apt install completes without error again. Make sure to reinstall the right version of your packages again.

Given your other comments about manipulating post installation scripts for some time, if the above doesn’t work for you, consider backing up your data and reinstalling a fresh setup.

Smorty OP ,

I have now fixed the apt issue. Biw I’m just stuck with the startx not working. I’ve already completely reinstalled my nvidia drivers but I still get the same errors in the Xorg logs. In case you are wondering, these are the logs

NVIDIA: Please see the system's kernel log for additional error messages

Oh, an nvidia problem so it's unlikely I'll know the answer, but others might want to know: What's it say in the system's kernel log, i.e. dmesg?

I would love to know your config so I can do the same.
