Sorry, the closest i came up aren’t good solution but may help in your search.
Vanilla OS 2 (based on Debian) but it is under Gnome DE and in beta phase. Very begginer friendly. Maybe once it go out from beta it will supports other DE ? So check it around 6th month later or 1 year ?
But the problem is that their community is very small. If you want something stable, it’s better to look for bigger community so you can benefit from their support and user’s problems
There is fedora kinoite but you don’t want anything related to IBM. That was the best compromise i can found.
NixOS but i don’t know it. I’m affraid it will be a DIY distro at the beggining with the config file. But it will probably meet all your criterias.
Or the same OS from my steamdeck :
Steam OS ? It’s an immutable OS based on Arch and support KDE by default. Full support of flatpaks. Only downside, i dunno if it supports other machines than the steamdeck. Nor if it uses the latest linux kernel. Maybe some variants ?
Mac hasn't charged for an OS in ages, and Windows has given "free upgrades" for several version because they're stealing more data and want people to switch.
This is technically very false. Windows most definitely is not “free” as in air or beer. It’s license fee is reduced to 0 but there most certainly is still a license and businesses pay out the ass for them. macOS also has a license, but it comes with the hardware. Technically, you cannot install macOS on non-mac hardware, per EULA, but there’s no license check outside of hardware support, which is the space the hackintosh world comes in.
I'm not sure what you think is contradicting me. I put "free" in quotes. But they're not making meaningful additional license purchases by changing the name from 10 to 11 with how much they're begging people to upgrade. And Mac straight up makes zero from licensing fees, so again, a new name doesn't mean anything. They abandon hardware with new versions when enough core functions need hardware features to work properly, which happens regardless of what they call it.
Enterprise pays plenty for Windows, but those licenses are all subscription based so new versions don't mean anything there either.
The only clean living is BSD, in my opinion OpenBSD is the easiest. NetBSD prior to 10.x does not have SSL certificates preinstalled. FreeBSD needs you to manually install X. Both FreeBSD and NetBSD have a menu based installation, while OpenBSD is question-based, and their disklabel tool have automatic partitioning.
Sound like fun 🙃 frustrating fun, but hopefully you get something that works when you come back to it. Unusual setups always pay the price.
I would suggest trying a remote desktop solution other than rdp… Although I can see how that may not work since it would involve installing software on your work machine.
alpine is great if you don’t plan to use a gui and just want to set up command line stuff. not all new linux users are looking for a desktop replacement. some just want a server for file sharing or running plex, etc.
I use OpenBSD, and Alpine is the only Linux distro I can recommend :)
It is somewhat like FreeBSD (not having X by default), and they are both not friendly to newbies when compare to OpenBSD.
People should start with a free and sane default and gather knowledge, not start with a beautiful desktop environment (integrated graphical environment) and use browser and libreoffice and proprietary software on their device.
Long story short, I can’t use multiple monitor RDP because I have different resolution monitors and they are stacked 2x2 instead of all in a row.
Did you try setting them up as one big display across all four, instead of four little ones? I think that’s something you can do.
Does the multi-mon RDP thing work from a Windows client too? I’d be surprised if it did, Windows’ multi-monitor support is fairly lacking in my experience too.
I did try using the spam, same issues. I tried only using 2 of them and other combinations. Unfortunately no luck.
I use multiple monitor RDP in Windows on a daily basis. I want to keep my work and personal systems separate, but love having 4 monitors. So I just RDP into my work laptop from my desktop. It was buggy in the past, but I’ve been using this setup for a few years now and it’s been seamless in Windows 10 & 11.
So you’re not simply trying to delete old emails based on the date they were sent to you? It might help to know where these dates are located, if in the subject line or in the body. And is consistently a straightforward date like “2024-02-11”, or are you also trying to look for vague references like “Feb 11”? That might make a difference for how the question is answered, however a quick google search suggests that the FiltaQuilla add-on will support regular expressions in the message filters for addresses and subjects, while “Expression Search / GmailUI” adds expressions for body searches.
IMO too much “Tutorial”, not enough Review. For example:
The spectrwm workflow is unique. It took me awhile to become acquainted with the standard flow and gain comfort in using it. I did have to bend, fold, and spindle the environment a bit
You haven’t written a single word on how it’s different from any tiling manager, nor what and why you changed.
Generally the article feels like the first comment in unixporn, where you list out your relevant dotfiles. The only extra information is that you like it, and a list of dependencies for your config.
FWIW you omitted the my mention that Conky is not fully functional in spectrwm and that there are no plans published re: future developments (Wayland etc.)… which in truth are big deals to me. Otherwise, I agree with your critique. ==> If you wish to see the article with several new revisions… it has been updated. Thank you for the constructive critique.
