In my experience the AUR is useful but almost unnecessary, and if you want to use flatpak you can get away from using the AUR entirely
Who gives a shit!?
Yeah totally, I think to use Arch successfully you need an opinion about what your system needs, and that takes experience with using Linux.
Installation is pretty trivial these days with the install script
Ironically this is how I feel about Arch, for me it’s worked flawlessly for years.
I don’t bother getting in ‘discussions’ about using it, because if other people have problems I’m not going to convince them that I don’t.
I was comparing Signal to WhatsApp, not to Telegram
Signal isn’t owned and run by Meta though is it.
It is a unmodified Arch install that has a prepackaged setup, so you get a running desktop very easily and get the full.power and configurability of Arch
Could just as well use workspaces
Write with what you know
In time, I’ve come to realise that people that complain about snaps are not worth listening to.
99% of the complainers of snaps don’t understand their full use case, they are an invaluable resource for servers and embedded systems, snaps support features that flatpak never will do.
Show don’t tell
I mean… They’re not. Not counting the individual or course.
Well said, although I do think Gnome is for everyone, they’re just being stubborn 😜
Well I think that’s the issue here. It’s not geared towards a group of people, but towards an ideal workflow which is the Gnome Way.
If you’re someone that likes to have masses of applications or windows open you can certainly use Gnome, but the Gnome is more focused on one or two windows per desktop/workspace and I encourage you to embrace that way of working too
Again, it’s not about people, but the intended user experience.
I remember when Windows first introduced My Documents folder and subfolders for images, music, video. To begin with I rejected this folder because I wanted my folders in the root C: as I had always done. Eventually I decided to use these folders and I learned to appreciate the convenience of this, including all the additional thumbnails and meta data that the OS provided automatically for those folders.
You’re trying to use Gnome the way you’re used to using a desktop.
If you try and learn the Gnome way, you’ll have a better time.
To be honest I had the same problem when I first went from Windows to OSX, I was struggling, trying to make OSX familiar, but when I decided to learn the Apple way, everything became easier.
You should start a wiki that contains ‘How to play the game’ posts like these, something a bit like BeforeIPlay
This looks nice, but today I just found out about nushell which seems to do it all.
As the other guy has said, I was more thinking about the chance of finding more employment
But what about Only Office?
