Windows -> Fedora
Been almost 10 years and no thoughts of changing. What can I say? I lucked out first time.
The only download software I used was the DownThemAll Firefox extension, which has always been real good. It works on all sites I’ve tried it with, it’s a very customisable interface, I don’t really know what you mean by not copy-pasting links but you don’t gotta do that.
You’re not likely to find an exact copy of the software for another OS, wine probably is your best bet if you just want IDM in Linux form.
Is it possible to… boot into a LUKS in a LUKS?
For techy people, sure. But in 90% of cases, people moving from Windows are looking for as little a paradigm-shift as they have to endure. I’m sure most regular Linux-users wouldn’t disagree that other distros are cool, but telling someone “use this thing it’s literally nothing like anything you know” is not going to get many takers from the population of people who just want their tech to do everyday stuff.
Honestly as a power user for 10 years I very, very rarely come across a time it’s a good idea to touch anything outside the home directory.
No? I’ve already said what it’s about, and I’m not eager to repeat myself 'cause I feel vague meanyness.
It’s not about a lack of features.
We essentially have three different browsers, that definitively isn’t “lots and lots”. Every year they get together and agree on what measures can be foisted upon all users with or without their support. The rest are very little more than reskins of each other.
Install Firefox with default settings > Look at your new tab page. They’re all sponsored ads.
Firefox on mobile collects data and sends it off for marketing purposes, this can’t be turned off.
Forces ads in my face via Firefox. Sometimes promotes commercial control of the internet. Is borderline for-profit at this stage with all the moneygrubbing and issues that comes with.
Don’t get me wrong, they’re the best of the lot by a long long way, but they’re still problematic.
To be honest, I think the internet is in desperate need of an alternative to the Chrome/Mozilla/Safari trio. Why can I can no longer get a browser that doesn’t shove ads in my face and/or track my every move?
I know this isn’t being designed as a browser for everyone. But I’m pleased to see making a web browser isn’t an un-enterable area yet.
Heck yeah. I may give this a go.
Thanks to the weirdo redditor for inadvertently advertising this thread via our modlog.
Wayland is the fancy new standard that never seems to stably work for me on any of my machines :( Thanks for letting me revert to X in the login screen, GNOME.
TL;DR: It’ll use a new, more secure key type.
Is the core tenet of FOSS not about depriving any entity monopoly over the means of software production? That’s basically the definition of socialism, as opposed to a fundamental of libertarianism - the incontrovertible holiness of private property.
As much as I also do step 4, to be honest I don’t see people use man
anywhere near as much as they should. Whenever faced with the question “what are the arguments for doing xyz”, I immediately man
it and just tell them - Practically everywhere you can execute a given command, you can also read full and comprehensive documentation, just look!
I still don’t see how it’s any more confusing than Windows. Cinnamon does it almost exactly the same way as windows, and typically detects network sign-in requirements better. Auto-updates work absolutely fine, and again I’ve not seen them need manual intervention with any more frequency than Windows.
As a daily Fedora user, this is annoying. I totally support the push for open-source, but enabling RPM Fusion on new installs to do standard stuff is a royal pain in the butt that will immediately turn off new users.
