There are several DE. The two big ones are KDE and Gnome. If you want to switch I recommend trying a live image of Kubuntu, which is Ubuntu but with KDE.
I’ve used gnome for years, about a month ago I decided to give KDE a try on my old spare laptop. Two days later it was on my desktop and work laptop. I am loving KDE.
If you were using Zsh, one way you could do this is by autoloading function files from a folder in your fpath.
Let’s say you’re using ~/.local/share/zsh/site-functions for your custom functions. To ensure that folder is an early part of your fpath, put something like this within your .zshrc:
Explanation for the second =:=’ expansion If a word begins with an unquoted =’ and the EQUALS option is set, the remainder of the word is taken as the name of a command. If a command ex‐ ists by that name, the word is replaced by the full pathname of the command.
The last thing you need to do is mark it for autoloading, in your .zshrc:
Instead of listing those functions manually as arguments, you could instead use a glob pattern to collect all those names, excluding any which begin with _ (completion functions):
I’m still waiting for proper fractional scaling in gnome’s wayland that won’t turn the screen into a blurry mess. I’m using gnome tweaks’ font size setting as a workaround for now, but it’s not ideal.
Shouldn’t be blurry if you run Wayland supported apps. For me only Jetbrains products are blurry since they use Java which doesn’t support fractional scaling.
I assume you enabled experimental fractional scaling in gnome?
I’m hearing and feeling the bad vibes towards Ubuntu, but they’ve not done anything to totally ruffle my feathers just yet. I went full Ubuntu with about 10 servers and 2 desktops. I don’t mind snaps, but my senses are heightened after the red hat shebackle, so considered a next move in case Ubuntu disappoints me with these enterprise decisions. I’m happy to accept an immutable distro like they have planned, but with snaps being proprietary what would that make the distro? Hmm. Do I need to reconsider snaps?
I heard canonical took lxd in house, however I thought it was canonical anyway, and i use lxd a lot, so I’m concerned there’s a play they are going to make… If the red hat thing never happened, I’d probably not have had much concern, but… Red hat thing did happen, and so did reddit. Anyway, hopefully it’s just a little paranoia from recent events. 😬
Canonical is a company, so they have their own direction which might not be aligned with a chunk of the community. I can understand and respect that. What irks me is that they are trying to force something upon their user.
I don’t hate Ubuntu; I still recommend it to new users. But decisions like this is making me reconsider that stance.
