What do you recommend? I’m using ublock.

Because it was all picture, I had to search around to upvote (using Boost, voting is hidden until you select the comment. Comment is picture? It takes you to the picture (without voting options)).

Worth it. Otter & cat pic brightened my day.

Only because Google is become a blight on human progression.

There are better ways to make things profitable than wasting people’s time.

Wondering what these top 5 apps were, hit the link

Wtf YouTube commercial.

Go to hell.

You should do better. And I should read links before I try to access them.

Having read other comments, I don’t know or recognize any of the software listed.

You sold me on NOT checking the video out.

Why?

I was wondering the applicability of Libre to the officeland as I haven’t really used either in a number of years.

On the DEs: I’ve been gnome based pretty much always, almost never used gnome itself, directly. Xfce is my workhorse. Recently tried & dig cinnamon. Am ready to convert for a few months, at least.

I’ve tried KDE a few times, always short-lived as I can’t abide lack of keystroke windows management (I’m guessing they have them & I never took the 5 minutes to learn them). Mostly tried years ago. It was heavy and made my trash PCs choke. Felt like chrome does now.

Ubuntu’s native DE I can’t stomach for similar lack of common keystrokes and bad colors (again, a few minutes to change & learn because something else probably put me off enough that I wasn’t interested). Corporate construction has to be pretty awesome to get me to want to use it. No corporations come to mind that fit that.

Just installed a USB boot for Mint (cinnamon) and MX (xfce).

Both are so much nicer than I expected.

Trying to figure out how to put together a sub-distro for friends & family that are considering moving away from windows.

MX ranks higher out of the box (comes with VLC installed).

I was thinking nigglers.

Cause they’re niggling us all

More from oil! More from groceries! More work for less pay!

Endlessly niggling every aspect of our lives

Works on xubuntu. Though restarts are a common solution to no connection. That’s fine, I’d rather not spend extra juice to keep them Wi-Fi tethered.

Change it, make it better. Market your version.

Or join conversations with developers so that it becomes better.

You are the development team as much as you want to be. It’s not Adobe.

My system is even older. Still, everything was fine until I transitioned from 20.04 to 22.04.

Valuation per employee…doesn’t pay the employees their worth. Or anywhere near it.

I was excited that the employees were logged as primary shareholders. Like every employee in every company should be.

We may need a new forum: when Google is RIGHT about a search.

You’ve given me some interest in Endeavor. My current installation won’t hibernate & restore.

I use xfce for as many monitors as I can plug in. It works, though more customization sounds lovely.

Looking forward to trying out AwesomeWM. Thanks for the idea!

I left windows as xp got replaced with 7.

If I were to install Windows as a dual boot, that’d probably be my choice (xp).

My current machine was a 7, but the previous owner had installed Ubuntu by the time I bought it. It’s slow enough, there’s no way I’d put myself or the computer through running windows.

Yes, I was born before the Internet was.

Wholeheartedly agree!

To really learn computers, let them dig into all the guts (hardware & software). Of course letting them choose & install their top pick OS sounds like a great way to start.

Good luck!

FreeGeek Portland has (had?) a sign: we clean windows.

All donated computers are scrubbed of previous data, tested & reassembled (if needed) & have Linux installed.

Oldest to newest hardware work fine.

Work 24 hours to take a system home. Training is free.

Edit. Adding:

They have a website & videos on how to use Mint OS (for browsing, gaming, homework & basics) for kids of all ages: FreeGeek Online

Krita & gimp both can handle that

If he had any part in Tesla productions, he already would. Or any part of SpaceX.

He’s a funny guy.

Score one (negative) for the gatekeeper!
