I’m a lifetime user of linux/unix and struggle when I have to use MacOS or Windows. I’m used to X11! Select (and copy on select) anything you can see. Paste on middle click on the mouse. Fat scrollbars that tell you how much there is to scroll. Arrow-buttons on the scrollbar, preferrably one pointing up at the top and two at the bottom, one pointing up, one pointing down. Draggable scrollpiece in the scrollbar. Click in the scrollbar to jump. Buttons that look like buttons. Focus follows mouse. Etc. etc.

Some of us run our own forks. I’m a big fan of software that has stopped changing.

There are forks.

Yes, yes, and have been in a situation where the only editor available was nvi (not vim). ed(1) rocks when on slow connections to low-specced boxen, btw.

I’ve always been fond of Paul Klee. Marc has grown on me, though. Fsck WW1 that killed so many of the blaue reiter gang.

Ooh, Team Fortress 🤩

Bad title. This is CVE-2024-3094. Run “xz --version” to see if you are affected.

Your rectangular pieces would work really well as deskmats

I live in a non-EU European country and we’ve never had the option to buy Valve hardware via Steam. Still don’t have a deck.

Remember to play. There are multiple terminal emulators, window managers, shells, all the things! Try 'em out. When installing stuff to test via distro package, keep note of which dependencies were dragged in so you can get rid if all of them, not just the thing you wanted to test. Also keep a list of what you tested and later got rid of (and why) so you avoid testing it again.

If you ever ssh into other machines to do stuff, learn the minimum of vi (classic w/no arrow keys, not vim) and bash. Servers “always” have those (though FreeBSD also has tcsh).

Which ubuntu had this boot screen?
