It's funny, the first "bug"/feature I ran in with Suse in the late 90s, was Alsa initially setting the mixer to 0 for whatever reason. Ah memories.

e: this wasn't obvious from the gui mixer controls they gave you. the slider to change that was configurable via a different gui alsa control.

If you care about bulk rename, chances are you give a flying gently caress of doing that within a gui.

elementary mac os linux just released its latest stable. I know elementary has a big fan base in yospos, so I thought I'd mention it.

Suse has a mainstay in Germany since the 90s. First Distro where you could buy boxed copies in bookshops. With a nice 300 page manual.

Does anyone still use Gentoo? I took a look at Arch, and thought if I want to gently caress around at that level, I might as well skip straight to Gentoo. Or *BSD.

silly jre, don't you realize that you are just a victim of adobe because you want gimp to obey the same stultifying ui conventions as ~~photoshop~~ every loving halfway decent gui interface ever designed

(back when I was making poor life decisions by arguing with nerds on slashdot, any time I brought up the internationally recognized truth that gimp's ui is flaming garbage buried under a mountain of burning sewage in the midst of plains of radioactive waste swamps as far as the eye can see, they always assumed I was a brainwashed adobe software haver/user even though I have like ten minutes worth of driving photoshop in my whole life)

ubuntu is great if you like using literally 4 year old software packages, with the only alternative being scouring launchpad or 3rd party sites for updates, like you were CJing a wintendo box or something

most of the world moved past that including, ironically, debian lomarf

are you referring to LTS or whatever maybe be more ambiguous

I'm waiting for the next desktop CPU breakthrough to build a new system and switch completely to Linux, but looking at the industry that'll probably mean 2018 or later.

I really hate that useless bar across the top of the screen that combines with the Firefox title bar to be a giant waste of screen space.

that application bar on top is superfluous screen waste. you already have the dock, why is it not possible to right-click on the symbols there to get some extra options? afaik they wanted to create a mac like environment, where the app bar shows app-specific menus. at least that way it would make sense.

Who do I talk to if I want an ubuntu desktop environment built around i3. I know the whole "Linux means choice" crowd particularly glom onto i3, but why can't my one choice be i3 and the rest of my choices be the standard network manager and keyboard shortcut handler.

Ubuntu has something like minimal install, choose that and go from there. It might be called network or server install, I forgot.
