But don’t you need both hands on the keyboard when you type an address?

Thanks for the response! I guess it’s still not for me. I often have several tabs from the same site or tabs from websites who’s favicon I don’t recognize so the text is relevant to me.
When I want more real estate I just go full screen with F11.
As for focusing a hidden address bar, doesn’t ctrl-L do the trick?
I’ve heard a lot of people talk about vertical tabs but personally I don’t see the appeal. Can you explain to me what is desirable about vertical tabs?
Awesome! There are so many good communities on Lemmy for Linux noobs and enthusiasts! Be patient, and take snapshots!
I remember once I pirated a pack of something like 100 000 fonts and I stupidly installed all of them and then Photoshop couldn’t change fonts because it would take like 10 minutes to load them in the drop down menu.
You’re not dumb you just haven’t needed that use case before.
Here’s an example of the last time JDownloader saved me. There was a website where people were posting archives of old skateboard videos. There were hundreds of links across dozens of pages in a forum. All links to sites like mega.
I was able to view all pages in one document and extracted all of the hundreds of links and put them in JDownloader. Over the course of the next several weeks JDownloader was able to manage those downloads without clogging my bandwidth. If a download failed it would notify me and I could retry it.
Can you imagine trying to do that in Firefox?
I tried so hard to get into Bookwyrm and joined several instances but it really holds no candle to Goodreads in terms of number of users. A single book that is not even that popular will often have hundreds or thousands of reviews on Goodreads. Like this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42863088
vs
https://bookwyrm.social/book/629446/s/mathematics-for-human-flourishing
I think that a lot of book nerds have been using Goodreads for years and are unaware and not looking for of fedi alternatives.
Does that have any appreciable difference in day to day computing?
There are probably camrips out there but I don’t think people are going to share links here.
I remember doing this in macOS, when I got my first SSD. I installed it and kept the os on the SSD and mapped my user directory to my hdd. It made upgrades and re-installs much easier, which was a plus because it was actually a hackintosh.
I don’t think anyone who isn’t already curious about Linux should install Linux. And I sure as hell am not going to try to convince anyone and be blamed for not being able to use adobe products.
Maybe Stardew valley would scratch that itch. Or some old rpgs like FF or chrono trigger.
Oh, so if you install software with apt, you might get a different version based on the different maintainer/distribution?
I always figured you’d just get the latest version of the software.
Are there instances of software packages available for one distro but not another?
Yeah but don’t Debian and Ubuntu (for example) use the same package manager?
Can somebody ELI5 what the difference between Linux distros is? I’m ashamed to admit I don’t truly understand, aside from different package managers and DEs but even then there are only a handful of those.
Are applications able to write directly to the directory this mounts to? Could Codium add this folder?
Hmm. It’s not working in Manjaro for me. Is it as easy as just opening any other folder? I have Drive added in KDE and can see my files but I cannot add a folder from drive in Codium.
Can you open Drive files in Codium?
Yeah. Wayland works great on my laptop. I can’t even log in on my desktop because it’s Nvidia. As a light Linux user the difference doesn’t really mean much to me aside from the fact it doesn’t work on my desktop.
Wow this is huge!
