That’s sorta what you get with decades of janky adaptations to not break old applications while also adding stuff that will be useful to newer applications. A whole lotta jank.

I agree it could perhaps be more orderly, but hey, as long as it works…

(EDIT: Although apparently /usr/ means Unix System Resources??? Idk, I don’t trust ddg THAT much)

Why is cat in your etc

That’s not where that goes, it goes in /usr/bin/

Yes – And it sucks balls.

Some people in a different department of the company do work with Linux. And some get Macs.

You now planted in my mind the idea of a text editor but it has literally EVERY fancy effect one can think of. Like the text animates fancily when you type it, and every interface element is animated and blur-glassy, and when the color of things changes because of code highlighting it does so generating particle effects etc.

It sounds fucking useless. Someone who’s good at the coding start making this and I’ll donate to your patreon/ko-fi.

Bonus: It’s made in Electron and extremely bloated.

I’m assuming it’s the editor for making things on some game engine or a video editing software, not your text editor. Even the most obese text editor isn’t Like That.

~/Brojetos (anything relating to making stuff, writing, drawing, video creation, programming, etc., professional or personal)

~/temp (a non-hidden temp folder with a script that wipes it when the PC shuts down or reboots, used for downloads and such to prevent the “downloads folder is an abomination” problem that plagues any computer after a while of usage)

~/AppsGames (appimages, applications compiled from source and not installed to system, personal use scripts, wineprefixes, non-steam games)

aaaand ~/OtherAminals (for stuff I want to keep but have no idea where else to place)

glad to help m9

Pulsar edit was the one I tried.

Vscodium.

Or one of the many variants of ol’ Sublimetext and Atom (Sublime is paid for, Atom has been abandoned, but there are successors)

it’s fine

they’re fine

we’re fine

it’s fine

I know I’m very late to the party and any comment in a thread with 200+ posts is like yelling at the void.

BUT

My experience with Windows has hardly been “it just works”. In fact it has been a history of decades of tinkering and messing around with it to try and get it to do what I want.

The only difference is that Windows obscures everything, so when something breaks it does so quietly. Meaning you might not notice… Or. More likely. It’ll just crash out and you don’t even have an error code to google.

This isn’t to say that Linux isn’t a balancing act of constant maintenance. It is. Just… The Windows experience was never “better” for me from that angle. And… On some level, I enjoy all the tinkering. I think all Linux folks do.

The One I’m Using :tm:

rebbit dot cum slash arr slash linux circlejerk

Edit: Also looks a bit like the ‘reduce reuse recycle’ symbol if you squint.

It can but it’s useless

It only works if the browser tab is focused.

Not very useful as a PTT key.

Em espírito, eu concordo contigo

Olhando lógicamente, não teria sentido, já existem tantas Distros, metade das quais são só forks de Debian e/ou Ubuntu que mudam quase nada. :S

Make them use an old, abandoned distro.

Like Brazil’s own Knoppix fork Kurumin.

Feito.
