Apparently endless growth is a good thing.

This is the year of Firefox-on-the-desktop. I can feel it.

I’m a visual person so I need to put a face to these windowlickers to laugh at in my head.

Is it this guy?

Maybe a tooling manager like mise or asdf.

I’ve convinced yet another to escape Windows and join Linux

I use KDE Plasma on Arch

You should have received your btw by now, no?
Especially if you’re converting people 😏

snow crash, which talks about the decentralization of the internet from a fictional and futuristic story

I don’t remember it prominently featuring a plotline like that. That was the one with\

Well if that counts, then Neuromancer by William Gibson fits in that it’s about\

Are you ok

I read this in George McFly’s voice, unoe?

There’s something very appropriate about you using all those (system) tools during an anthropology lecture.

why does the logo look like a noose

Logo looks like if Apple redesigned the Millennium Falcon.

Yeah it’s not a one-to-one conversion of course. An update few months back allowed meta to open Overview on its own though, fwiw.

I’d still like the dock in the Overview too, like yourself, but for now I just have a launcher on the bottom like dash-to-dock.

I might get eviscerated for saying this, but you can replicate the GNOME workflow fairly well on KDE—KNOME if you will.

There’s an overview similar to that in GNOME, you can set up shortcuts to mimic the keyboard+one-app-one-workspace workflow, etc.

Good luck trying to recreate Plasma with GNOME though.

Uh, just trying non-modal vim for the first time and… how do I quit it? I can’t :q.

I love the Linux world’s tradition of less serious names, in general.

Wasn’t there news of a Windows update breaking dual booting recently? Could be that?

That’s… What the person you replied to said in the first place.

apparently flashing the stick directly did the trick, thanks for the help

Glad to hear it. Hope you enjoy the distro!

How did you set up your install medium, @Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de?

Recommendation is to use one of the installer images, not the Live tester. Also, I think using Ventoy has caused problems in the past for some.

You could consider something like LazyVim installed on top of Nvim so you don’t have to configure it from scratch.

So now I’m thinking it might be the SSD, but I’m not even sure how to check that.

There’s definitely some utilities for that. SMART or something? They’ll at least show you rough drive health/wear.

Edit: nevermind, another responder recommended that already.
