I’ve always thought Bootstrap, the web design library, has a good set of base colors

Yes it does. Those guys did a really good job.

See the problem there, regular users don’t Ctrl+s, they point and click.

Just because you like apple doens’t mean that apple does a perfect job and GNOME should copy it. GNOME does a lot of thing better than apple.

Yes, so let’s copy Apple and keep the few things GNOME does well.

That’s definitely interesting.

Not a permanent dock. Docks predate Apple any way.

The Dock comes from NeXTSTEP, the operating system Steve Jobs left Apple to develop back in 1986… GNOME was announced in 1997 so I don’t get your argument.

Client Side Decorations, and ignoring their community when it comes to things like desktop icons.

Well I’ve complained about those a couple of time… but people always say that it’s their vision.

I’m kind of on the same boat you’re… however KDE tends to have issues with visual proportions and margins everywhere.

The issue there isn’t only differentiation, that well done, the issue is that an user might miss click because both buttons are close to each other.

Well, I understand your POV… but real software freedom instead of messages asking you to buy a license and a questionable kernel is always a good choice :P

TCB13 , 28 days ago to selfhosted in Pros and cons of Proxmox in a home lab?

I’m glad to know that I could help.

I like that I can switch out my distros underneath Incus instead of being stuck on one weird kernel

This is an interesting take that I never considered before, my experience (be it corporate or at home) is usually around Debian machines running Incus and I never had the need to replace the distro underneath it.

In-depth analysis ≠ random ramblings on lemmy.

You need to understand what Proxmox gives you, which primarily is ability to run/manage/backup/etc VMs easily

Yeah and after understanding what it gives you then you move to Incus because while it might be a bit harder to setup it delivers around 80% of what Proxmox does without the overhead, mangled kernel and licensing issues.

cockpit-project.org also does VMs and can work for people without cluster needs.

How to reliably(!) exclude files from a list in tar?

You delete the entire file because the format and tools are hard to deal with for basic operations like this one. :)

Just kidding… but we know there’s some truth to it.

The older one is actually properly executed, the first button is the “Cancel” one and that makes sense because people read from left to right and tend to click mindlessly / without reading on the first button. Not sure if they actually changed the position on right to left languages but they should have…

TCB13 OP , 28 days ago to linux in GNOME June 2024: C'mon you can do better

How? Improving something like this is hard. Do you have any proposals?

I’ve submitted a fair share of UX in-depth analysis with examples and links to literature on the GNOME team blog and they tend to ignore / comment dismissingly and then remove my comments after a few weeks.

Accent color taboo. Let’s not talk about accent color.

Ahahaha
