Because people are used to it, and also because it features one of the largest music collections you can find. Same for other things it supports.

Yay then!

Honestly, boycotting US is one thing and buying stuff from your country specifically is the other.

I hope people keep maintaining international trade relations, or else polititians may exploit it to push nationalism.

*The exception is buying goods from your close proximity, which might be environmentally beneficial

Yeah, cheaters bother me way less than some random program with root level access able to monitor everything it wants

Careful, he’s a hero

Today I learned

I see your point, thanks!

but seriously, go metric already, nearly an entire world managed to (light-hearted)

My question is essentially as to why you use two systems at once

If you know what gram is, you can imagine a kilogram as well: the conversion is easy, measurements are consistent with each other and the entire world, and it makes it very clear both units are tied together and represent mass.

Is “grams per pound” really the way you say it?

Like, if you know the concept of gram, why do you need a pound?

That’s the point

I see the point! Thanks

I see, thanks!

What’s the technical diffence between CrossOver and just running Wine/Proton?

If there’s none, doesn’t it make more sense to support Wine directly?

There are two types of thinking about it:

1. There is no point in living. We are doomed to get into the grave, and eventually be forgotten forever.
2. There is no point in living. No higher order, no higher purpose, no higher authority. We are free to live our lives, to explore, to insert any meaning whatsoever into it. We are forging our own destiny.

Thanks for the reminder!

I remember dconf-editor by my days on Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Thanks, this does provide some insight and also explains why managing many windows in one workspace is a pain in stock Gnome lol

although even then the app menu with a search option would be superior over whatever they have invented, but that’s me grumbling

Aha, I see!

So, GNOME is more keyboard-intensive and is meant to be in many ways similar to a window manager, but with the perks of a full-fledged DE

I see!

Unfortunately, I cannot always predict what I will need, nor do I like having everything opened in advance. Guess on this part my philosophy differs with GNOME’s.

But otherwise I love it, and I hope I’ll figure my way of doing things here!

Night light is a must btw, always used it.

I don’t currently see how going into a dockmode and then the app drawer is more productive than to have a small menu popping up with all I need at the push of a button. I also need to move between active windows quite a lot, which is why I also need my open apps in the top bar (which, luckily, is way less problematic to setup, there is an extension for that exactly)

I guess it might be a matter of personal preference, but this is the key issue I have with Gnome, the rest is indeed good. The top bar, while inconvenient at first, does have clear benefits and I see how it might be helpful; the design language of the apps is something I adore, everything is tailored to be minimalistic, but powerful.

But this exact part is not in my taste at all, and I do not appreciate being forced into a design choice that only causes me headaches.

I’d like for the Super key to open apps menu, and then something like Shift+Super opening the dock/app drawer, and I’ll be golden.

Searched there, no luck
