Boner Slam posted:- The poo poo you need to go through to add an icon to the activities menu shows that Linux will never be a desktop OS. Well you can install this app of course, but out of the box it's either "don't do it" or "try a lot of console poo poo"

don't use fedora, like its namesake it is a bad thing for bad people. broadcom wifi works just fine on debian with zero hassle.

Mr Dog posted:they rowed back on that stupid "spatial file manager" poo poo they can row back on this too but ... yeah, you had to have the whole os designed around it. you couldn't just bolt it onto an existing unix, already packed to the gills with deep folder hierarchies, and expect it to work.

if you want to make a desktop app for linux then you should use java, so your app will also run on every other os without any porting or even recompiling.

java.util.regex is particularly bad, i've had to rewrite some fairly simple, perfectly valid not-actually-regular expressions to work around bugs in it the same goes for python's re module basically never try to do interesting things with not-actually-regular expressions because you're going to get hosed over one way or another, be it by a lovely library or your own lovely code. use a real parser or something idk

time to establish some indisputable facts itt: tcl/tk is good. emacs is good and also more user-friendly than poo poo like eclipse. and cde, while deeply flawed and abandoned shortly after birth, was still better in many ways than os x, ms windows, gnome, or kde are today. this is yospos so i'm sure someone will ironically pretend to disagree with the above, but we all know it's true.

like most desktop related changes, the removal of the useful x server termination shortcut was imposed for the alleged benefit of people who will never use linux, and caused nothing but inconvenience to the people who actually do use it every day. apparently this is progress.

Zombywuf posted:Oh man, Lennart's updated the bug: https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64116 what he actually says there is that they perform whatever recovery is possible every time you read the corrupted file. they just don't write the recovered data back to the file, so the corruption isn't "fixed". I hate lennart and all his foul works as much as any angry graybeard who thinks Unix reached perfection decades ago and everything since has been a regression, but even so, this doesn't sound too unreasonable.
