I was gonna say that it looks like every Linux install I’ve ever booted… But then I realized 90% of them have been Debian or Debian-based 😅

We have so many unused potential binds already, though. Knowing the way tech goes these days, they’ll find a way to hard-code the key to one macro and that’s it lol

I don’t see an issue with a “super” key. But what would a copilot key bring that’s of any value? The super key already does everything you’d need.

How do you ensure you have the right dependencies if you do that?

sudo synaptic for a graphical package manager.

Otherwise, just use sudo apt-get if the program you want isn’t there, you may need to download the source and compile it yourself

I hate all three. Why do we need to the same dependencies in a thousand different places? There’s gotta be something better between typical software repos and these stupid packed applications.

Some people are way too complacent with things being handed to them, rather than seeking out better alternatives that match what they really want. Though I suppose some people actuallyike that design.

If it makes them more comfortable, all the power to them. But there are far better window managers and desktops environments out there both in terms of look and functionality.

It’s still a huge upgrade from actually using Windows 11, and maybe once they dip their toes in they’ll ditch this eyesore of a layout next.

From the screenshot, an ugly as fuck theme and a useless start menu.

I suppose it the menu would probably actually be functional in Linux and not just a way for them to spam Bing.

All the shit I hate about windows packed into a Linux environment… I guess maybe it will help Windows users switch over?

I don’t mind it, but I don’t really use it for any of its features. I use i3 over Unity, I think Snaps (and flatpaks, appimages, etc) are dumb as shit.l, and don’t even get me started on how garbage Nautilus is - drives me nuts trying to type a filename in to jump to it only to have Nautilus run a search instead… No idea who thought that was a good idea, but they need to fix that crap already.

I’d probably get by just fine with a full Debian setup tbh.

That, but also the splash buff of Proton making a lot of games work for Linux outside of Steam Decks has probably helped too.

A delicious canned energy drink from the 90s.

Choo choo UBUNTU

I’m honoured lol

Lmao, they can have fun with that. I can’t imagine it being anything decent. A mobile phone equivalent of a DVD Player OS lol

Somebody mentioned I may have been running bpytop, so maybe this whole thing is my bad. I honestly can’t remember what I ran now - I thought it was btop

Oh, you might actually be right there… I’m not sure now I didn’t realize there were alternatives.

I remember trying it a while back when I found a list of fancy looking terminal apps. It was fancy, but it came at the cost of performance.

I’ll have to check it out. I’ve seen kitty mentioned a few times but I’m an oldschool xterm kinda guy lol

My laptop went bonkers trying to run it, maybe I have something misconfigured somewhere. I wanted to like it because it looks great, but I couldn’t because it was seemingly too resource intensive.
