I came here to make a similar comment. In KDE just use… I could swear it was ctrl+alt+arrow key but a quick search tells me it’s meta+arrow key (currently on my phone) to tile windows if I want. Quarter or half sceen tiling works for me so I’m content with that. OP didn’t specifically say dynamic tiling so perhaps one of these methods will be sufficient for OP?

I’ll check out that tiling feature mentioned above, I wasn’t aware of it and am curious!

most people are against you (them)

That has not been my experience, but it’s subjective right? I live in a conservative area. So also generally pro our current law enforcement system.

You got my number on that one. And you’re right about them being cut from the same cloth and part of a bigger problem. I suppose Musk annoys me more because he’s louder.

I can’t argue against being ethical in media consumption being a waste of time in the sense that the tiny percentage of us that choose to boycott any given platform make no difference. But I think having ideals and following them is worthwhile and I will continue to do so.

But I was also sincere in my statement that I don’t think you (or anyone) has to share that concern. Those are my ideals. They don’t have to be yours and I don’t expect that of anyone.

This particular capitalist is having a significant impact on that platform.

If that doesn’t concern you (and it doesn’t have to) then carry on with giving no shits.

You are. Reformat and install the first hardware compatible distro you find on https://distro.moe/ right now. Don’t think too much about it, just do it! /s, probably?

If checking out a different distro sounds interesting and/or fun then you should. If not, then don’t. Whatever way you Linux is the correct way for you.

That’s fair. It’s good to educate on these things.

I knew about Redhat’s recent bad behavior, I somehow missed that IBM owns Redhat. So TIL.

I dropped Fedora in light of recent news but I’m not OP. They can decide for themselves on that. If OP or anyone is interested in learning more, a search for RHEL source paywall will get you there.

Stick with your distro and try Gnome. Fedora is pretty high up there on the “just works” category.

TL;DR: Ubuntu. Because I want choices.

Ubuntu. And I’ve felt that way for a long time, so it’s not something recentish like snaps.

I don’t want my distro to decide what DE and software I’m using for me. They used to have a minimal iso which gave you, as the name suggests, a very minimal install. But now their minimal image is meant for containerized stuff and if memory serves comes with some extra cruft for that purpose.

I got annoyed and I left. And every distro I’ve tried since, even if I didn’t stick with it, I liked better.

To add some constructiveness, as that’s just complaining. That can be a good thing, just depends on the user. If they want the crafted experience Ubuntu provides, then it’s a good pick. It’s just not for me.

I wonder if it is notorious?

Do most Linux users (in this context we’ll say people who specifically choose to use Linux and by extension chose a specific distribution) look unfavorably on proprietary software being excluded by default?

For me, I prefer it so I don’t see it that way. But it is also an extra step and an annoyance if you want things to “just work”. Which is an understandable position.

Food for thought, I guess.

LFS feels like the next logical step in that progression.

X11 is like a big dilapidated house. It doesn’t work very well anymore and is difficult to maintain.

Wayland is new modern house. Smaller and more efficient, but missing some amenities that the old house had that some people still want, like a wood burning stove.

Oh cool! I didn’t know about this. Thanks for sharing.

Well said. It’s easy enough to say you are unhappy with pay, benefits, or working conditions. Complain about the plights of capitalism. Or say you just don’t want to work, period.

There’s a mountain in between here and there. And the path is well defended by the rich and powerful. It’s going to take a lot of work to have less work.

I’ve ended up with NixOS, because I still like getting punished by my software.

Suck it, nix users. You know it to be true.

… true.

Around 1998 I’d guess. Some loadlin based setup on my friends Windows machine. Don’t recall the name. I remember running Mandrake shortly after that.

I’ve hopped back and fourth between many distros, and gone back to Windows a few times over those years. But I’ve been using Linux as my daily driver for about a decade now. Currently using and enjoying NixOS.

Vic20. When I was 8 or so. It was a handmedown from my uncle. I remember writing some very basic basic while poking through the manual and playing cartridge and tape games on it. Good times!

One of the news outlets in my area has online classifieds that are well known and utilized. Maybe there’s something like that in your area?

I hear some stories about scams on there, so it’s not immune to that, but I don’t believe it’s a significant problem.

There’s an option C:

avoid YouTube or just deal with the ads

Of course I guess it depends on which devices that that’s an option.

Yubikey and OnlyKey are the only hardware keys that work with keepassxc. So if that’s a requirement for you, then those are your only options. This is true for me as well.

They cover this in their docs and faq page: https://keepassxc.org/docs/#faq-yubikey-2fa. OnlyKey is an unknown to me while I’ve heard of Yubikey for years.
