I remember when it was considered a mark of professionalism for a web developer to have an email on their own domain. At some point that changed. I think after GMail came out it was so good that everybody switched to that.

I haven’t. What happens?

So, it doesn’t sound like it would be useful for me, since the reason why I have separate partitions in the first place is so that I can re-install a distro or install a new distro without having to back up /home first.

How does that work with you’re installing a new system? Do the subvolumes just show up like partitions?

You could also ask: “Why are there so many audio formats? Why are there so many video formats?” And so on.

The reason is different people have different ideas on what is the best way to do things.

Oh, schnaps! I remember that.

Windows 11 may be the king of operating systems

In what world? I’ve just started using it at work, and I swear the other day it tried to sell me an XBox controller. Not like I was on the Web and an ad popped up, no. It was part of the operating system!

Can you imagine going back in time 10 years and telling somebody “In the future, Microsoft is going to put pop-up ads in Windows.” People would think you were crazy!

I remember back in the day, Linux users couldn’t shut up about that damn cube. It was the coolest thing on Linux, apparently. I’ve been using Linux for almost 20 years now, and I’ve never seen it.

This sounds better than Gloryhammer to me. At least, what I’ve heard of it.

Power metal is very hit-or-miss for me, and Gloryhammer for some reason was a miss.

Geany would need to have support for VSX. That could happen, but I’m sure that it wouldn’t be a small project.

Ah, okay. The reason why I ask is because it ships with starship, and fish is the default shell.

Or, at least, it used to be. I think they might’ve switched to bash recently. Using Garuda is what got me hooked on fish and starship.

Fish, with Starship.

Also a Garuda user?

Should we also listen to music in Dolphin? Watching video in Dolphin? Edit files in Dolphin?

I mean, yeah. I use Krusader, and the reason why I use it instead of Dolphin is because Dolphin doesn’t give me an easy way to edit files and view images. In Krusader, “Edit” is F4 and “View” is F3. (It does open a new window, though.)

Music and video files are easy. Previews, baby! Previews are very convenient. I want to make sure that I’m about to open the correct file. Or I’m trying to find a specific file, and the file names aren’t making it obvious. And so on. Now, this isn’t something that I’ve felt the need for, but it’s easy to see use cases for it.

Should we make Dolphin the only app on the system and do everything in it?

I would say that if something is going to take me only a minute or two to do (or less), then it’s more convenient to do it from the file manager than to open a whole new program. Technically, Krusader is using kate, etc. under the hood to do all of that stuff, but it’s through the Krusader interface.

Typically, when I open a terminal I want a normal size one, so I can see file listings, scrolling data etc. In my case I would say 99 times out of 100 I want a regular terminal rather than a small one at the bottom.

In your case, sure. But other users are going to have other use cases. Not everybody thinks and works the same way, so what works and makes sense for you isn’t necessarily going to work and make sense for other people. That’s why I like KDE so much. It’s very flexible to the needs of users.

What would that look like?

It’s the same reason why tabs in a web browser are convenient. Why do you need tabs? Are you paying by the window?

I’m looking at it right now.

In Dolphin, right-click and then choose “Open in New Tab”.

Why would you want it outside the file manager? Why spawn a separate window if it isn’t necessary?

Did you try KDE?
