  • I’ve argued for years that VR would only succeed as a subset of AR. We don’t have the technology for AR either - small, light-weight, affordable, and with transparent displays that can show perfectly opaque objects rather than translucent ghosts.

    With the decline of global trade and social stability, the long-term destruction of technological advancement in pursuit of the ponzi scheme that is AI, the rapidly accelerating death of our planet, and Capitalism behind all of it, I am inclined to believe that we are entering into a dark age that we will not recover from.

    So no, VR will never become widespread. We’ll be lucky if most people can afford to eat and have shelter, never mind luxuries like technological devices.




  • Not the rape, murder, torture, kidnapping, corruption, illegitimacy, illegality, unconstitutionality, warmongering, domestic and international terrorism, pedophilia, economic harm, environmental harm, the destruction of public landmarks, undermining congressional power, illegal firings and appointments, nepotism, theft, convictions, insurrection, sedition, or treason but his grade school bullying of our allies? THAT should be the last straw?


  • Oh! The setting you are looking for is called “Virtual Desktops.” They aren’t created dynamically, but are meant to be created and configured for different workflows so they are always there. You just need to add some!

    Add new ones from System Settings / Virtual Desktops. Once you have some created, you will have a grid of desktops you can switch between using Super + Ctrl + Arrows or by using the Pager widget.









  • It’s nothing personal, but I hate Cinnamon. I do not agree with their philosophy at all. They want to be “familiar” but that means they are trapped using outdated Windows 98 conventions while being late to the Wayland party and offering significantly less customization than KDE. When I see people recommend Cinnamon over KDE, I downvote. If you personally prefer it’s 1999 style and conventions then you keep doing you, but it’s not objectively better than KDE in any way and I do not think we should be driving new Linux users toward it.
