  • Imagine, if you will, a whole open plan office full of them...

  • Babe, come quick! You gotta see this!
  • I'm fetching the camera!

  • what would you think if linux had a distro with no terminal and instead of that it would just tell you when to update your device??
  • I wouldn't like that, no sir, I wouldn't like that at all!

    Too many useful tools on the terminal.

  • KDE is working on an M$ Word alternative?
  • My abiding memory of it that it handled the basics very well but lacked advanced features. That was a long time ago though so it may have changed.

  • Confirm or reject my suspicions about the massive default window sizes
  • “Think about 720p” or “Also think about 720p” principle.

    The problem with that is if only a few people have 720p then the majority suffer for no real reason. The only way to know for sure is hardware surveys. That said, Linux is known for running on older hardware so maybe it should be taken into consideration. The only way to know for sure is hardware surveys, everything else is assumption.

    If, like KDE's, they are opt in, anonymous, allow you to choose how much information to share, and can't track an individual over time then I think they are a positive and an easy way to contribute back to a project. If they are like the Manjaro proposal, which is none of those things, then they are a negative and should be opted out of.

  • Confirm or reject my suspicions about the massive default window sizes
  • Developers will develop so it is right for the majority of their users and I guess they are aiming at 1080p which is mid-range at the moment. This is why hardware stats are important. If they're anonymous then what's the problem with them?

    Your English is fine.

  • Is there a way to change how the Application Launcher selects a category?
  • I have the same problem with an inaccurate mouse hand! My solution is to use the application dashboard which has bigger category labels.

    Right click on the menu button and select show alternatives. Choose the application dashboard. If that's not to your liking, you can download additional menus through add widgets -> get new.

  • Saying the opposite of something is a form of humour

  • Technically.
  • The front one is Michael Jackson

  • It's funny because it's true

  • Maybe a play on "This page intentionally left blank" from the IBM manuals

  • Lilith and Lulu.
  • Bear in mind that they could be playing, cats play rough. The volume is usually a good indicator of how serious it is.

  • My 17 year old void being clingy
  • And you love it

  • little imp in the leaves
  • Good camouflage.

  • Small Distro Concerns
  • Again it depends on what those repositories do.

    EndeavourOS (Arch based) adds a repository which appears to be for their utilities, otherwise they use the Arch repositories. You could probably continue using it with minimal disruption although the utilities would be unmaintained.

    Manjaro (also Arch based) uses its own mirrors of the Arch repositories and adds some of its own. If it vanished, it would quickly become out of date and full of security holes. A new install would be necessary.

    In either case, I'd do a clean install of Arch because why give yourself the headache.

  • Small Distro Concerns
  • It may just be a pre-configured Debian in which case there will be nothing to convert or it may have several additional repositories in which case it will be easier to install the new one.

  • Elvis
  • It was called Elvis back when it was a smiley

    At this point we’ve addressed most of the nasty regressions people found in Plasma 6.2. Thankfully most were not widespread, and were instead related to people’s diverse hardware setups…
