Looks like a boring update but being boring is kinda the thing I appreciate in GNOME. It’s all about expectations.

A mixture of NixOS and Debian, depending on the machine. NixOS is trivial to maintain and to keep predictable and tidy. When its weirdness is a problem, Debian is my answer. It doesn’t get more normal than Debian.

It doesn’t use the system libraries, unless the system in question is NixOS. It still provides its own dependencies. Arguably in a more elegant and less wasteful manner, but they are still distinct from the ones used by the rest of the system.

EDIT: typo

In terms of the memory usage, it’s a reasonable approach these days. It gets hairy when we consider security vulnerabilities. It’s far easier to patch one system-wide shared library than to hunt down every single application still bundling a vulnerable version.

You can already use Tesseract to run OCR on any image. It’s a matter of tying it together with a screenshot tool with cropping capabilities and it should be very easy to use.

The hexagon already knew the question so it answered before the question was even asked. It all makes sense.

I’m pretty sure I’d end up as a just as “cute” woman as I am as a man. Nah, thanks.

I actually considered going back to Polytopia and grabbing a tribe or two. Can you recommend any specific one if you were to choose only one?

Truth. I have a decent amount of spare Google Rewards credit to spend on games but there are no good games to get. (any recommendations?)

There is no “best WM”, only “best WM for you”. If you’re deep enough into this rabbit hole to install an alternative WM, at this point you’re the best judge of what’s the best, really.

Maybe you’re right, the jump from pure GUI to the Windows CLI is probably a much bigger paradigm shift than between these two CLIs. I was mostly worried about OP getting discouraged from ever dabbling in CLI due to the Windows one being terrible.

The Windows command line is nothing like the Linux one. It’s much less pleasant to use too.

Well, more power to them then! Ernest can then merge back the changes at his own pace, so everybody wins. Forks don’t need to be treated with hostility.

Same here. Both “content” and “creator”. It’s so vague it means nothing at all.

Creator of what?

I’m aware but thank you. I’ve tried it before and didn’t like it. Maybe I’ll give it another shot, though I don’t see much benefit in tying my music player to Emacs.

I’m an Emacs graybeard, so complex keybindings don’t scare me. My problem with ncmpcpp is twofold:

1. It relies on MPD which is always a PITA to properly configure. Pulseaudio always managed to make it not work on a fresh system. Hopefully with Pipewire it’ll be better.
2. The config format make no sense whatsoever. Especially the one with keybindings. It’s so cryptic I just stopped trying to understand it. Again, I’m an Emacs graybeard, to stress it as a point of reference.

MPD + ncmpcpp, I hate both and I’m yet to find anything better.

I wish. They are not even close.
