  • Qt based file managers (PCManFM, Dolphin) usually have a filter input that's quite useful. It's limited to the current folder, and not a fuzzy finder, though.

    Why I Can't Use Linux - My Top 3 Reasons
  • As a side note, there's a multiplatform Qt6 clone of foobar2000, called 'fooyin': https://github.com/fooyin/fooyin.git I've never been a foobar2000 user, but I'm really impressed by this program; especially the customizability of the UI with respect to custom tags.

  • The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning.
  • It's to out-compete the competitors so as not to become obsolete. ... also I hope you're aware that I'm saying all of this 'ironically', to poke fun at the mental gymnastics in the OP's post.

  • The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning.
  • The prize of the competition is what the competitors compete for. There's a prize and the winner gets it; the loser doesn't get it.

    Why is this so hard to understand? I guess it's nature's way of weeding out the losers.

  • The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning.
  • I think we should be chasing all the trendy trends to become competitive with the competition. That's the only way to push those numbers up (that need to be pushed up). That's how a winner wins.

  • Is it common for KDE to crash?
  • Plenty of folks in their honeymoon phase with KDE, it seems.

    ... it's been less than a year when you could find a bug in the wild that would crash the shell if the mouse hovered for too long on the panel.

  • 7 Common Linux Myths You Should Stop Believing
  • I wonder what their 'prompt' was, especially with the demonic blowfish thingy. "Theo De Raadt as a FreeBSD convert assaulting Linux" -- maybe?

  • One for each deadly sin, duh.

  • [Sway] Oxocarbon - My humble and stable Workhorse
  • some website where you can type the classics instead of just reading them

    Is it this one: https://www.typelit.io/ ?

  • what OS should I use instead of xubuntu?
  • This is the answer. Current stable Debian already has the latest release of Xfce (4.18); and for recent gui apps there's flatpak.

    For packages like syncthing you can enable official apt repos to get the latest versions.

    Other packages for which the latest versions are desirable though the flatpak versions get a bit too finicky (like vim & emacs), you can compile from source. It's not hard, even for a newbie.

  • The "Curry" in "Currying" is a reference to logician Haskell Curry
  • Funny thing is that when the creators of the language told H.C.'s widow about it, she said he never really was fond of his name.

  • [GNOME] Rainbow Dreams
  • I was intrigued by the top bar, but the *fetch screen says 'Unity X11' for DE.

  • NVIDIA 555 Beta Linux Graphics Driver Released with Explicit Sync Support
  • What's up with the Fedora font on the 'explicit sync' though? Hmmm...

  • Am I doing this right?
  • what message? This was a real product released by Sony.

  • It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine
  • Right; a stationary Steam Machine (upgradable, etc.) would be a desktop PC running SteamOS, which should probably remain outside the purview of Valve's hardware division.

  • It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine
  • But they're already back! The Steam Deck is the resurrected Steam Machine.

  • [QUESTION] Book recommendation for Emacs
  • 'Mastering Emacs' is a very highly regarded resource; & it might be the only one that fits your requirements -- it's laid out as a book that you can read from cover to cover: https://www.masteringemacs.org/

    Needles to say, though, that for the concepts discussed in the book to sink in, reading alone wouldn't suffice.

  • Did Fedora 40 break something for you?
  • It was going perfectly smooth (Plasma 6 wayland, amdgpu drivers); though the past week or so I started getting random shell crashes. (It's very impressive that Qt apps all come back unscathed -- but I don't use too many Qt apps.)

  • No one is being ‘marooned’ by Debian focus - TrueNAS
  • Even before that (by about 2 years, I believe), when ZFS on Linux became OpenZFS as the shared upstream, that constituted the proverbial 'writing on the wall'.
