  • I'm an SE dude. We have to do a group project at my university. Sometimes I just wanna scream everytime a professor rejects a good project idea because it wouldn't be economically feasible. Also every competition here is just yet another shitty startup competition where they're more concerned about your business plan than on the utility of your idea.

    Ended up having to go with yet another AI idea. At least we don't have to do anything with LLMs \_(o.o)_/






  • I have extensions that do small QOL things. I can still use GNOME just fine without a single one of them enabled.

    How do you cope with the lack of a dock and system tray?

    I don't cope with that. I don't really see a huge benefit to having a system tray. Before GNOME 44 added the background apps view to the quick settings menu I just put anything that was 'background' into a workspace. Even after 44 I still have this habit and rarely actually need the background view.

    As for the dock argument I'm not sure what an always visible dock would provide that the current dash does not. I think I might even prefer the current dash over an always visible dock. Whenever I want to switch windows I just go to the overview and pick out whatever window I want. It's a lot easier to hit a huge window than to have to target a small icon at the bottom of the display.

    I understand that some people might disagree but I actually love what GNOME does (most of the time).



  • I use neovim for the vast majority of the programming I do but I do still have VSCode installed. Maybe I should just delete it? I opened it after I saw this post and there was a whole bunch of extension updates just sitting there.

    Kinda wish GNOME builder was a bit better at being a general purpose editor. That's just because I'm a bit of a GNOME/GTK pervert though and I would love to use a sexy looking app for dev work.






  • Xfce has been great at giving old PCs some extra life. I've got some people using a Pentium E2180/2GB Ram/Hard Drive machine for some browsing with Mint Xfce. It runs great and is quite reliable. I just hope that it does eventually gain support for Wayland.
