just press the system button plus the assigned letter and I’m in the app I want.
Oh, that would be excellent. You could even set them to be the same on desktop for equivalent applications.
I think one of the Linux phones has a physical keyboard. That’ll likely be my choice if I can afford it when my current one stops being viable.
There are only 2 software keyboards I’ve found where I didn’t have to look at the screen as I typed. 8-Pen which took forever to type anything on and Minuum which hasn’t updated in years, but you can pry from my cold dead hands.
I never used a BlackBerry, but I miss the slide out keyboard my first couple smartphones had.
And he’s incapable of creating anything. And he has zero charisma.
KDE is available for Ubuntu. There’s even an edition that ships with KDE (Kubuntu).
You may want to try Arch in a vm before daily driving it. It’s an excellent distro, but vanilla Arch is a far cry from SteamOS.
I just installed Mint to an external SSD this weekend to try and get my grandma to try it out. I really don’t want her scared into thinking she needs to go out and waste a few hundred on a new laptop.
Neither of those are package managers. That’d be Pacman and Portage.
You know somebody’s putting barebones LFS on one of those drives.
Hotmail was owned by Microsoft when I signed up in the late 90s. It’s no surprise it’s still around. It hasn’t been my primary email for a long time, but I still use it as my MS account. So really it’s just my Minecraft account.
Hm…could be useful for those times you want to read a guide but can only find one in video form
Oh, it’s a game now? Back when I dabbled with it (early 2000s) it was a simulator as the name says. Flightgear is an open source simulator that, according to pilots, feels more realistic.
Is there any reason to choose MSFS over Flightgear other than simply being unaware of the latter’s existence?
The distro IS the OS, so no.
accidentally tapping
Sounds like mobile to me
The human turned the code in. They deserve 100% of the blame.
It uses the system dialogue, but it starts from the same directory each time. If I’m saving files it’s usually multiple files in succession, so I want the dialogue to start off pointed at the last directory I saved to. The Arch build does that.
Not to mention changing BIOS settings to allow booting from external media. I’ve yet to see 2 machines that were the same in that regard, so good luck writing instructions that a casual user could follow.
I usually can’t find what I’m looking for, so a larger catalogue would go a long way. I also had problems with some software versions. The one that comes to mind is that Firefox had behavior with the save dialogue that I don’t like. It’s a minor issue, but one that I don’t have with the build in the Arch repo. I have a vague memory of something just not working, but I couldn’t tell you what at this point.
I wasn’t aware of it. It’s certainly an option, but Gentoo isn’t for me.
I switched to Chrome probably a decade ago, because at the time it was significantly faster. I switched to chromium at some point and ended up back on Firefox when Google’s password manager stopped working on every browser except Chrome. Firefox is noticeably faster these days and doesn’t crash as often.
