Surprisingly this one actually didn’t lead to someone being fired because the person was never found, but when I was a teenager I worked at a local retailer in Canada called Canadian Tire. The manager called everyone into the employee washrooms to show us that someone had scrawled “CT sucks” in human feces – presumably their own – on the inside of a toilet stall.
omg it wasn’t “Dr Death” aka Christopher Duntsch was it?
Hardest in a different way than you probably mean for me would be This War Of Mine. One of the first missions you basically have to stab an old man and his wife after you broke into their house. It’s rough.
If you open /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.icon/main.qml and search for line there’s a section called PlasmaExtras.ShadowedLabel which seems to correspond with icon text and there’s a line maximumLineCount: 2 you could try reducing that to 1 and it might fix your issue.
It looks like KDE Plasma is based on QT6 and the icons I believe are a QT6 Label so you can also add some styling to it yourself. Here’s the documentation for it: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-controls-label-members.html
There is a property called lineHeight so you could just add that to the PlasmaExtras.ShadowedLabel and see if that fixes it.
Weird. I was just having an issue with pamac and started using paru as a backup and paru is working fine last I checked.
You should go for a distro that matches what you want out of your system. You want stable? Find some strong LTS distro like Ubuntu. You want ULTRA STABLE? Go for an immutable distro. Do you want to use your system for gaming? Go for a distro with wide gaming support, built-in drivers with options for proprietary drivers.
It’s less about what base distro you’re using and more about what you like about that particular flavor of distro.
For example, I use my PC for gaming mostly, but also coding. I switched from Pop! (Ubuntu based) to Garuda (Arch based) and I love it because it’s really good for gaming, comes with Mangohud, Gamemode, Steam, Heroic, controller drivers, graphics drivers, etc, all optionally pre-installed. I also really like KDE apps because they’re performant and slick so I got the Plasma version.
Anyway, yeah, focus less on “this distro is Arch based” and more on what each distro can provide you as far as your personal tastes.
Current Linux market share worldwide for desktops is at ~4%. There’s also ~2% ChromeOS which is Linux based so I don’t know why it’s listed separately. As well as ~6% other which is probably Linux with privacy settings turned on.
If we go back 5 years in Linux desktop usage, the high end is including the “Other” category.
2019: ~2% to ~9% 2020: ~2.5% to ~5% 2021: ~3.5% to ~11.5% 2022: ~4.5% to ~10.5% 2023: ~6.5% to ~10% 2024: ~6% to ~12%
There is definitely a growing trend, the user base has grown somewhere between 33% and 300% depending on whether you include the “Other” category, which I personally think is a pretty safe assumption since for most PC users if it’s not Windows or Os X, it’s Linux.
Here’s where I got the data from: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide
LTS just means Long Term Support in case you weren’t aware. It means no new development is happening, but security exploits will be patched as soon as they arise.
If you just want stability, LTS is the way to go. If you want all the cutting edge bells and whistles and are okay with potentially some instability (but probably not much) then use the latest version.
If your device isn’t connected to the internet during general use then I wouldn’t worry too much about updating anything. Security fixes aren’t important if there’s no way to connect to your device.
That’s exactly what happened with Dr Death and why he wasn’t caught for such a long time.
