At least in KDE if we don’t like something we can actually configure it.

True. On the contrary, Gnome has gotten better, cant remember last time that Gnome crashed.

For a guy that hates “MacOS” Gnome this much, I didn’t expect this. thought you being a Chad, you would raw-dog the sh*t out of it using top and lsblk.

BTW who is using skype these days? But since you’re using alacritty, I’ll let you off the hook.

I’ve noticed that you haven’t bind your media and volume keys (and brightness control keys). You have a separate machine for those, Right? (window laptop Lol)

Xmonad configured with real men’s pure functional Haskell

🙄 Now I really wanna see the configs

You’re ashamming yourself using Gnome for fags

Not ashamed since my way of life is simple, as I just hope into nvim with tmux on my console, press F11 and into the flow I go.

developers refuse to listen to users,

True. But again, have you seen KDE Desktop recently? It’s cluttered everywhere (no offence KDE users, nothing personal) some icons oversized it’s hilarious, so much so that I’d rather jump straight into i3 or xmonard.

Again, I’m all in for minimalistic clean view, if xmonard can provide that then I just might slap it on my laptop (love keyboard for navigations).

Don’t forget to share the configs bruv. I’m interested to see your setup

Sheesh…

GNOME is for betas, it’s a badly copy of MacOS. GNOME is definition of what trash is.

You do now that Gnome is just a GUI, right? You can just yank it out, and slap yours favourite.

And yes, been using Gnome On my NixOS for 4 years now, and No, I’ve never used MacOS. I prefer minimalist/simplistic clean view. Wanna get dirt on my hands? I just dive into console, or ignore the GUI altogether with Ctrl+alt+F2/F3/F4.

Funny thing is, it don matter what libraries where used in any app scarfolding, if I install it on my computer (again, NixOS), it WILL ALWAYS run!

But I will say this… Developing GUI on qt is a breeze (Abit complex, yes; but predictable. So simplex?)

I’m curious though, why do you think of it as trash? I would like to hear your perspective of this

Ok, installing COBOL now 😂

Got it, curious though, don’t they use ( or somehow switched) something like oracle technologies (java, SQL, etc), with all the promises they claim everywhere?

I’m listening… Where will I use it?

I was thinking the same thing lately… Which organizations do you know of using these?

Yap, Profile pic checks out… “Stumbled on my toe” kinda pain

Now I really need to hear how you look at it…

LOL, imagine was summr felt when Morty “opened up” 🤣

Reading rules is different from living them (getting used to them)

(say 10 times the existing user base in a single month)

New-born floods

Lol so you ended up with the stare contest?

Very informative, thank you.

“apparently my sister picked up the phooone! Aarrg! $!#@t”

Wow, am I a geezer already?

Oooof

I accidentally scrambled all the permissions on my home directory by running sudo chmod -R -755 .

The -R does this recursively through out every sub directory under /home/user/

While this looks somewhat innocent and harmless, most (if not all) files on home directory are owned by normal user. The above command just changed all files ownership to root (privileged user) which has alot of nuisance.

Effects:

1. To run any app now, you need to open a new terminal and type sudo -E app-name &, every single time. Annoying, but not as much as the following effects…
2. Running apps this way is not recommended since the app might accidentally change your system configurations without remorse, as it’s launched with root privileges (eg. network sockets, of which might most certainly be used by another app or daemon) and lead into hundreds of popups telling you that some system app terminated unexpectedly (without any reason whatsoever! Now you have to hunt that reason out on dmesg or sm’n). This can and WILL certainly lead to Linux crashes.
3. Due to effects on 2. Above, most apps (eg. Android studio) WILL prevent you from launching it with root privileges, by quiting itself immediately when it detects that privileged user is owner of the application process. So you will wind up with apps that you might never use again 😕

It’s a world pain by a thousand tinny cuts.

Hope this answers all your questions, and yes, it’s -R, not -r

Solutions:

1. Be extra extra careful while running sudo commands, especially those with -R (recursive) options. Are you on a right directory? ( I thought I was, turns out I wasn’t)

in addition to above, I would try to avoid using ., and specify the particular directory using ~/path/to/dir. So, instead of sudo chmod -R -755 ., I could have used sudo chmod -R -755 ~/path/to/dir

2. timeshift to the rescue. Backup your home directory (except Downloads and Video folders), preferably weekly, (or daily if you change your system configurations more frequently)

It’s called 21st century marketing bruv

While you “can” strip computer systems off a car… It is not recommended, for you never know the underlying impact (interms of interconnectedness) what you are removing has to the crucial driving routines…

I mean, you might unplug the heating of your car seat, and turns out the car thinks you have no seat… That sorta thing…

Edit: Unless the hacks are made public (of which are barely available, since they are a part of companys’ trade secrets, someone’s butt will get a proper suing for this) Just avoid them completely if you can.
