Quick question—does the kiss launch have the ability to hide apps? This is often a deal breaker for me with launchers

I used Niagara free for quite a while. It does have a fair few features locked behind the paywall, but it’s certainly usable.

Any reason to switch from InnerTune to this?

You know, I always forget that

For RSS I recommend twine—not sure if it’s available on Mac os though. That’s always going to be a struggle with foss stuff, support for Mac is lacking because the people making them tend not to use macs

Recently discovered Veloren, maybe you haven’t heard of it

This is a totally wild card guess, but I imagine obsidian probably has a community hand writing extension

I keep hearing people recommend signal messenger as an alternative to discord, and honestly that’s the most obvious sign you don’t actually use discord

Recently installed Linux (Nobara to be specific) and I’m amazed this isn’t talked about more. It’s so useful! Windows is seriously missing out not having a program like this built in.

Unless you’re incredibly deep into technical functions, Krita is 100% the way to go. Gimp is not horrible, but I have a bias against it, because i found it ridiculously unintuitive and hard to learn to use

You are very correct. Nice to hear it’s been fixed, thanks!

Wow, I swear it wasn’t like that when I originally posted. Weird haha

Thanks! I’ve heard of that before, but didn’t have a reason to use it on Windows. I’ll try it out.

That’s so interesting to me, because as someone thinking about switching over to Linux after playing around with it a bit, one of my main motivations is the ability to customize the desktop like crazy. Personally I like the minimal modern look, but I like that you can make it anything you want.

Thanks! Mint was my other choice, so knowing I can use that on either frees me up a little bit

Thanks a lot

As a noobie to Linux I have a question: I decided to try ubuntu (haven’t yet) because of what I think is called the Gnome Desktop Environment, which from what I understand is what gives it all of those sleek animations and tab switcher and stuff. Am I correct about this? Or do all distros have this? I care a lot about aesthetics and stuff like that—the main reason I’m interested in Linux, other than learning about something new, is the idea of being able to fully customize the look and feel

Ah, I understand

I think maybe I’m misunderstanding—are you saying that valuing free software is more important than valuing FOSS? FOSS is inherently free, no? Free Open Source Software. I would understand if I was talking about open source in general, but FOSS does include being free. Maybe that’s not what you meant.

Interesting to know that steam, gog, and epic (specifically) all work well for you, I’ve heard mixed results with Epic, some say it doesn’t work. Maybe I’ve gotten wrong info.

I have an older laptop, and as soon as I can upgrade to something better, I’m going to use it as a Linux practice.
