You should get the Pantheon desktop environment for a more Mac like experience.

It’s got a touch interface more than anything else. I think this change came around the same time as Windows 8 when they went for a more touch screen-y experience.

I gave an original Surface Pro tablet and I use Ubuntu’s Gnome on it. It’s perfect for tablets I find. Not so great for desktop PCs.

Budgie has great potential. I really love the look and feel. And I especially love the side bar. I feel that’s a feature that’s missing in KDE.

Budgie however isn’t “there” yet. I’ve experienced quite a few bugs using it and it’s still missing a few features. But it’s getting there. It might become my go to one day.

I have mine look and work almost as exactly as Windows 10, which I really love in terms of UI/UX. It’s the most easiest and fastest desktop interface I’ve ever used so far.

I have a tiled app menu and I even changed the window decorations to look like Windows 10. I hate rounded corners. It’s such a waste of screen space.

That’s what I’d be using too. But it felt too incomplete and buggy. It’s not there yet, but it’s very promising.

In your life, so far.

Is anyone using BSD as a desktop by the way? Ive only been focusing on Linux.

I wonder what they’ll call it. Will they keep the “Linux” name?

That’s what I try to do at best at possible.

But I mean we all get why this is wrong. It’s becoming a major monopoly. And that’s not good.

A lot of those stores actually closed down because of Amazon.

Many that offer specialized equipment are located in locations that are far or difficult to access and/or have opening hours that are the same as my work hours.

I do my best to buy local and from physical shops, but sometimes nobody had what you’re looking for and Amazon can get it to your door in 24 hours.

I hate the company but fuck is it practical. They need a serious competitor but nobody wants to even try with the amount of money Bezos got.

Downvoters: “I hate you but you’re right.”

I normally don’t care when celebrities pass away. But I genuinely cried when Robin Williams died. And I’m still sad about it.

Linux is the kernel, the core of the system.

A distribution is a collection of software that is provided with the kernel, usually with it’s own software package management system. Distributions are also supported and maintained by organizations which create their own tools for that distribution and also make decisions on what to distribute it with.

For example, Fedora is maintained and supported by the company RedHat which implemented their own tools and packaging system to use Linux. Debian is the same but with a community.

Desktop environments are that it says. You have several available in Linux. The two major ones being KDE and GNOME. They provide a desktop experience with their own paradigms. Just like the MacOS and Windows have their own desktop environments. They’re basically graphical shells to allow users to use the system.

The problem is that he can run again in the following election if he doesn’t die of old age by then. Even then, the seed that was planted will grow into something even worse and someone else, that’s probably more competent, will take his place. And each election at every level will be a continuous fight between good and evil.

Unless every trumpist is accused of treason, you will never, ever, have a chance for an election with more than two parties.

This sounds like something from LinkedIn.

The sandboxing isn’t as much as, say, Docker containers. So I think access to memory and devices is still possible and can eventually get you access to the whole system. I would think.

And this isn’t limited to flatpaks but I would assume Snaps as well, which some software is now delivered in that format by Canonical, even for server software.

That’s interesting. I’ll have to look deeper into that

Yeah but OP has a point regarding the libraries with known vulnerabilities. What if one of them gets exploited that allows remote malicious code execution and gives root access? I dunno how far the sandboxing goes in that regard.
