Laughing from a PopOS Virtual Machine (I’m getting my AMD GPU soon, I’ll switch over fully then I promise!).

Love it! It’s like macOS, Windows 7 and the edgy GAMER™️ aesthetic had a kid.

I see Unix but no porn. Ugly rice

Vincent van Gogh, yes.

That is quite concerning to be sure. Makes you rethink the so-called “Lifetime” pass.

Good bot!

I am famished bröther

What big teeth he has!

Very cute smile.

DOG TAX! GIVE IT UP!

Hah, get fucked OpenAI.

It’s not meant to game anyway, so who gives a fuck?

My dad and aunt have used Zenbooks and Vivobooks for years without issue. Maybe the ROG lineup aren’t as durable?

Raggedy Andy is one of the best nicknames I’ve seen for him yet. Possibly better than Andrew Taint.

I may be confusing LXDE with LxQt then. I was thinking of a de that’s basically confirmed to be on life support/maintenance only with no major overhaul planned. My bad.

For applications like that it makes sense. But afaik it still doesn’t plan to support Wayland at all so anyone doing multi monitors can get fucked lmao

I didn’t find it judgmental, I was slightly concerned that you were genuinely upset. I have some autistic friends who find it difficult not to take things literally and feel genuinely hurt, so I’m often cautious not to make jokes with them that seem mean-spirited.

I didn’t mean to be insulting to any people who actually enjoy Cinnamon. Sorry if it came across that way.

I’m being tongue-in-cheek. I personally find Mint boring and dated, and it can be pretty buggy on newer or more complex setups. I don’t actually think that you “hate fun”, it’s my hyperbolic way of saying that Cinnamon isn’t fun to use for me.

Sometimes being literal makes things less fun, too.

I have barely used them, so I’m not the best at explaining, but for me it boils down to a number of things.

First, TWMs are meant to work with keyboard shortcuts more than with any mouse input. Easy for those to conflict with the shortcuts of your app.

Second, compatibility might be an issue if your TWM doesn’t use a normal compositor. I don’t know how well something like Blender would render its UI on a TWM.

Third would be that a lot of creative apps are not meant to be tiled by the system and have their own solutions for window management, which could conflict with the TWM.

I’m sure there are more reasons. I can’t think of them just now.

It’s definitely less resource-intensive, but that hardly matters on modern hardware unless you’re doing insanely fast computations and need every spare resource.

As for more efficient, that heavily depends on what you’re doing. It’s mostly suited to programmers and maybe some writers, but if you’re looking to do graphic design, animation, anything like that… fuck no. Just no.

I use GNOME when I’m on Linux. KDE has had this bug for years now which makes working with a home server more annoying, and despite having grown up with and still using Windows I find GNOME comfortable.

There are other options too. Budgie is derived from GNOME and made to feel more Windows-like. It’s very pretty. Pantheon is probably somebody’s favourite although I personally despise it. And if you like having a gorgeous backdoor for the CCP, you can use DeepIn.

And if you vow to never again touch grass, you can even switch to a TWM such as Worm or Awesome. You shouldn’t, but you can.
