I don’t have a reason to move away from the Fedora defaults except for monospaced fonts.

Terminal wise, terminus is my default. It’s so clean, and it looks good without anti-aliasing.

Roboto Mono is my current preference for monospaced fonts.

Adobe Source Code Pro and JetBrains Mono are good alternatives as well.

Gui to manage firewall. which one? did you try firewalld or opensnitch?

Which which one?

I use firewalld regularly. Firewalld isn’t a GUI, and it’s a wrapper around Nftables and/or iptables depending on the distribution.

I haven’t tried opensnitch.

Desktop icons. you mean the specific icons of an other OS, or something else?

Not having to use a Gnome extension to get desktop icons. 🙂 Although, other DEs aren’t much better.

Not having to recompile out of tree kernel modules after a kernel upgrade. manually, or even automatically? if it’s the first, check out DKMS

DKMS is setup, and I still have to plan my kernel upgrades due to the compilation time.

That would be Windows.

For server config management there are lots of tools. FreeIPA and Ansible will do quite a bit, but when getting into stuff to manage Linux desktops fleets there isn’t a lot of endpoint management out there.

Fleet Commander is the main effort out there, and then Red Canary.

There really isn’t.

It’s only every so often with extensions, and every release reduces the number of extensions I use.

I forgot about easy integration with iPhones. Tethering requires extra steps and I haven’t tried pulling files off.

Support for auto cloud sync from vendors, or just auto cloud sync of setting between devices.

DE stability. I keep a Mac around for times when Gnome is kind of broken.

cmd shortcuts which don’t interfere with app shortcuts.

Powerful desktop Arm chips.

Gui to manage services.

Gui to manage firewall.

Easy fleet management tools.

A real terminal services and Remote Desktop solution.

Desktop icons.

Tighter userland security.

Tighter OS security. Mostly dm-verify and fs-verify.

Tiling support. (There are extensions, but I need to experiment.)

Not having to recompile out of tree kernel modules after a kernel upgrade.

Base and extras being cleanly separated.

Aren’t setters and getters discouraged in Python?

I remember reading something like, “This isn’t C++ , and Python doesn’t have private vars. Just set the var directly.”

Debian in WSL is my single favorite thing about Windows work laptop. Real tools! 😃

I’m back on windows for work after a decade away, and all the reasons I left are still there. The tools are still lacking, the layout is non-sensical, prototyping requires expensive subscriptions, and it’s not designed to get work done.

*nixes and macOS, to a lesser extent, are much nicer. The *nixes are designed to get work done. I have my gripes, but good lord they’re small comparatively.

They are back! We’ll see for how long.

I don’t want to disappoint gay guys.

Gents, this is not for you; it’s for her. 🙂

Agreed.

Vim/Neovim and Spacemacs (Emacs) are so much more addictive than NPP.

That’s cool if NPP is OP’s thing, but there are quite a few text editors which check those boxes in the *nix world.

It is, which is rather annoying.

I should spend some more time with the FOSS forges, but bare git works for me when I’m self-hosting my own repos.

The workflow is also kind of obtuse.

FD: I prefer GitLab between the two.

It’s possible. That’s basically web scraping.

IMF stopping in here. Good job France! Couldn’t have done it better!

I’ve gotta go sign up some more countries for predatory loans and strangle some economies. Tootles!

So this is how the tech dark ages start. The last 40yrs are erased, and we end up back in 1979 where everyone is selling a tech stack and nothing is compatible.

Rebuilding around something which isn’t C would be a bright side.

Qualcomm buying Intel would be a top 3 worst case. Broadcom or Marvel would be the other two.

Some funny scenarios: Nvidia buys Intel, IBM buys Intel, Apple buys Intel.

You’re not participating in the capitalist system. You need a mortgage and credit card debt.

JetBrains Rider is probably the best C# IDE for Linux, and MS ported .NET server stuff a while ago.

I’m not sure about C# GUI toolkits on Linux. WPF isn’t there, and I’m not sure how mature Maui is on Linux.

The post is about the genocide of Native Americans. Natives originally lived in the Midwest, and now they don’t.

Also, Indiana is the only state to be taken over by the KKK, and the North was racist in its own way.

Yes. 🤣

The poor kid bagging groceries gets drug tested more than I do.
