From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Gnome’s Nautilus is a long way away from being Finder. It certainly trying very hard, and there are some things I like about Nautilus more than I like about Finder, but Finder has a lot of polish that is missing from Nautilus.

That said, I look forward to The development of Nautilus and all of the improvements that will bring.

Spoiler, that’s just an opinion.

Yes, my opinion.

We are all entitled to prefer another OS than windows.

You are a smart individual, for sure. That comment alone puts you among the wisest of humans. And no, I'm not being sarcastic.

Anything is better than Mac... I hate how every time I try to push the green circle in the top left it now goes into full screen mode (if you don't hold option every single time). Who the fuck wants full screen mode?

That one feature is honestly enough to use anything else. It didn't used to be this way... But Apple has been screwing up their products for over a decade now.

They changed that to appeal to Windows users, people who were raised on Windows are absolutely obsessed with full screening everything for some reason

What's wrong with fullscreen?

I can't imagine coding in a small window when you have the whole screen

Tiling window manager users: nervous glance

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

We are polar opposites; I almost never want something not in fullscreen, hah. I've been using a mac for work for a bit over a year now and hate it.

Can you change these colored circles to symbols? Red/green are horrible, I can mostly not differetiate them

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Somehow I never considered that, MacOS' stupid stoplight buttons aren't particularly accessible, are they?
