Ah ok I see. Thanks for the clarification.

I don’t get the Gnome desktop. The vanilla one is unusable without adding a ton of extensions. But I do appreciate the simplicity in the settings.

I love KDE in the way that it keeps the traditional desktop paradigm that we’re all used to, but their configs are way too complex. There’s too much in one place.

In fact I’ve been thinking of trying out LXQT for simplicity’s sake.

Debian is great. The Ubuntus just add a few quality of life features that make it slightly better in my opinion.

So they’re actively involved in the development of open source projects then?

Mine will probably be Bottles.

The team behind that application did a fantastic job. Wine was due for something much more user friendly like this. And integration with Proton, allowing 3D acceleration is the cherry on top.

security patches for community packages (instead of waiting on community patches)

I’m not sure I understand that part. Is Canonical implementing the patches instead of the open source project/package developers? I’m confused.

Then do with Ubuntu or its variants. Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.

I can’t stand Gnome 3. That’s why I go with Kubuntu.

What are the benefits/features that this adds?

When using KDE, press meta-T to activate the equivalent of Windows Power Toys’ Fancy Zones.

You can then set tiling zones and when you drag a window, hold shift at the same time to lock it in one of the zones.

I was going to say the same. This was my introduction to MST3K as well.

The movie’s theme song, the actors, the plot and the cast’s comments were the cherry on top.

IDEs have come a long way. But I’ve done qt development using Jetbrains Clion IDE and QTCreator. I don’t remember it being that difficult. Then again, I started programming using Turbo Pascal and Turbo C. So …

I dunno. Having worked with Java and c#, web dev, c++, I found working with QT in C++ to be so much easier.

Yep. Same for me.

Talk with your partner and tell them you hear their concerns and they are valid. However, they need to understand that you have a need to be closer to your family or your family have a need to be closer to you. But that you will work with everyone to establish boundaries and you will make sure that they are respected so that everyone is happy.

Have this talk with your family as well and let them know that while you are happy to be closer, that you still need to have boundaries and that you hope they understand they need to respect them. When it happens it’s nothing personal that you just need your space.

If you communicate your needs like this I think it’ll work out for everyone

Good guy Proton

Then it should be only for government officials.

Yeah, but then again, do you want a government controlled social media? 🤔

You mean mstdn.social?
