So, I finally (almost) did it. All I am missing now is the dynamic workspaces and to make Dolphin look/behave a bit more like Nautilus. And I know I can just go ahead and install Nautilus, however, it would install a bunch of Gnome dependencies that I don’t want.
But for now, it is working as intended. Even the Alt-tab that used to just go around the active workspace can now go across workspaces.
Again, thanks so much.
I’m in a similar situation as you. I’ve been a Gnome user since Gnome 2, but want the same as you, which is why I asked for the configuration in Plasma to have a starting point.
I just spun up a new Fedora KDE install to try again (for the 100th time) to achieve the same workflow I’m used to in GNOME (mostly it’s having an app grid instead of an app menu, dynamic workspaces and ‘dash-to-dock’ functionality). There are some things that have been incredibly hard for me in KDE in terms of ease of access, like how ‘Alt-tab’ doesn’t seem to work across workspaces, then Plasma in default is just too crowded when compared to Gnome. But I think KDE is far superior in terms of customization, and I can easily have various windows of the same app open and traverse across them with alt-tab, whereas in Gnome alt-tab will only work across apps, not separate windows of the same apps.
So, like you, I’m still trying to make my DE my own, but it is fun, and I am learning a lot doing it.
Gnome has slowly become like a DE made by Apple. Even trying to configure it to use a screen shot app other than the integrated one is a fucking chore, they want you to forcibly use theirs, which is great for basic screen shooting, but I’m more of a flames hot fan because of how seamless it is to annotate on any shot instead of taking the shot, having to use a second app to edit/annotate, and then, I don’t know when it started, but every screenshot gets saved as a picture now, no way to just use it with the clipboard and let it disappear on the next SC or copy.
Then there’s the mentality. In GNOME If a feature doesn’t fit the design language, no matter how popular, it’s rejected. Dissenting opinions on design choices are almost always met with “trust the process.”
Dude, if you documented your process for this, could you share the configuration with me, please? I’ve been trying (on and off) to do precisely that because of how walled GNOME has become between GNOME 39 and now, but my results have been “less than spectacular” to say the least. I think I just need a starting point, but the videos on YouTube about that are not really practical. I’m on GNOME because I just love the whole workflow, but would rather be on Plasma with the Gnome workflow if possible. That would be great. If not, well FUCK YOU! Just kidding, lol (about the fuck you, I still would love a starting point on this 🤣)
What about Motorola and Axon cameras? They all need to go, no exceptions.
I upvoted you for one simple reason, you’re onto something, in my opinion. While I don’t think I’m selfish, because I do care and help when and where I can, I am extremely mindful of my self-preservation. Those things happening around the world which I mostly don’t get (honestly, it’s So complicated that I see no reason to even look that way) are super exhausting emotionally, as well as mentally taxing. Never mind what we’re seeing here where everyone seems to have an opinion about me, my life and those that are part of it, without stopping to think if I have reasons for those choices or if I’m just a selfish prick that actually enjoys watching the world burn. Judgment has been passed on me already, as well as on anyone mildly in agreement with me. Think about it, does all that sound like a healthy way to spend time, risking more stress, potential emotional and/or mental consequences of any level? I honestly don’t think so. If I can do something for someone, as long as it is not the least not detrimental to any part of my life, finances, family etc, I absolutely will, otherwise, I’m content with living my life to its fullest until it ends ignoring as much detrimental stuff as humanly possible. If that makes me look like the bad guy, I’m just thankful that none of the people that think so have any power to male my life better or worse.
I guess, you may be right. In my defense, I have mentioned in all my comments that I am not well informed.
I am privileged, with a will that allows me to remain away from bullshit if I choose to without caring if anyone gets offended by choices I make that happen to mine to make anyway.
I feel sorry for the crowd that has to ne policing anything different than what they think because their lives are so empty they have nothing to fill them with so that is all they can try.
That’s a very sad way to live, so yeah, I guess I am privileged to not live like that.
It is PCIe, so yes.
There must be a student that needs a laptop bit cannot afford one near you. I think that would be a good way to move that laptop. Preferably a kid that hates big tech and wants to learn programming and create awesome FOSS software 😏
How about “you’re one of the few people that took it as yet another fucked up thing going on in the world, together with RAM chip shortages and kids with cancer, and decided to go on with your life?” Or is that an entirely infeasible event in your mind?
And we instantly switch to political bullshit. I also have no fucking clue about the Palestine situation. Yeah, I hear people mention it, and I find stuff about it while going over completely unrelated stuff, and I choose to remain ignorant in the topic because I refuse to add more stress to my life unless there is no other option. You choose to care/follow the topic? Good for you, enjoy OT, I don’t.
That was the alleged suspicion. They were fishing because they don’t like that the guy is against cop city.
It seems like it’s a subscription from what I can tell. I see some people buying ‘lifetime’ subscriptions in the play store reviews, so I’m guessing that’s the case. Now, it also looks like it’s from one lone developer with 27 contributors in GitHub. The app can be downloaded from GitHub (I would use obtainium for that), so that’s a good thing. I think supporting developments like this via a subscription (assuming it’s not crazy expensive) should be normalized if the product is good enough. On that factor, I can’t really comment since I just KeePass the hell out of my credentials over Syncthing, but I do believe there’s value in supporting developers like this guy.
Yeah, I have like 0 people to talk with on it 🤣
People really need to chill about who invests on what and who donates to whom. Those actions are not equal to having control or even fully agreeing to anything.
Jack Dorsey invested via an investment firm, it’s not like he bought the brand or project or anything of the sort.
I was going to say, Fedora is not trying to push a bunch of snap apps up the users ass.
Yeah, that killed the idea on the spot for me.
I don’t like Linus, the channel’s content is half-assed at best, and there is so much sponsored content and self-promotion that it feels more like a ‘skip-the-ads’ game.
On the flip side I think it’s good that they shit on Microslop regularly and steer their audience towards Linux. With such a huge ‘normie’ audience, they are helping introduce those normies to the existence of alternative operating systems and apps. Their videos can have momenta that make me smork (either because of something titanically stupid or something clownish). Additionally, I’ve seen some videos of them that have alerted to new projects, hardware or even situations in the tech environment (which I then research in other places, of course).
I have nothing to say about private jet, political views or orientations.
