Agreed, OpenAudible is fantastic. I’ve been an audible member for ages. I really only listen to my books when commuting and traveling and the pandemic set me back in my listening. Using OpenAudible allows me to keep my library available on any device and use any application to listen.
Item1: I would love something along these lines. Honestly, I wish I could configure Thunderbird to be my journal and reference my to-do items programmatically from inside journal entries.
Similar to your wish for first class dark mode, I want light mode to also be first class. Too many apps lately have made dark mode default and the light mode is unusable.
Yeah, me too. Whenever Fedora made the move to Wayland by default for Gnome.
I lucked out. When I was ready to pull the trigger it was just a couple of weeks before the next batch shipped. Got mine in just a few weeks.
I love my Framework. It may not feel as polished physically as the XPS. If you can find one in the wild to touch and try, I would recommend doing so.
Screenshots shouldn’t be optional, and if dark and light themes are provided in the app, then show both. It’ll help users decide to try out the app. In my opinion, a lack luster presentation will discourage potential users.
I do lean towards the guidelines being enforced. As a user, it’ll give me more confidence in flatpaks.
Laptop and Workstation run Fedora. Servers run Proxmox.
Can’t say that there is anything new and exciting. Big change for me has been that I have accepted flatpacks. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t care about being a purist, don’t care about customizing and theming everything. I just want to use my computer.
There were some good pieces on Groklaw back in the day about the history of unix and Linux.
If that is the case, then you should be very happy to leave Linux for a proprietary OS that Nvidia works on and properly supports.
Odd, I don’t see it.
Great stuff! How about WindowMaker?
I haven’t seen this paperwm. I’ll have to check it out.
I have tried it. It resizes windows weirdly. I haven’t dug through the settings for it, so it could be fixable. No matter how I resize my terminal, it always snaps to smaller than a quarter of the screen. Thunderbird seems to always resize bigger than a quarter of the screen. It’s still better than nothing, but I’d love for it to be built in.
A good start would be to implement quarter tiling by dragging window to screen corner, like half tiling is done by dragging to screen edge.
I have a 3840x2160 monitor specifically so that I can have four windows open at the best size for their content (email, document, web browse, and terminal) and can avoid the use of workspaces and see everything at once. Having to manually resize and place windows is a pain.
Beautiful, brilliant bot!
Funny, I seriously considered getting one over the past year, but the past couple of months I’ve been reading all kinds of complaints about them. Seems there is a problem with consistent quality.
And if you’re replacing one, you could possibly pull the ram and SSD from it to use in the frame work.
Mine in in the mail. Got the shipping notification last night. So excited! I didn’t the past year saving up for it. I’m glad to see that everything works out of the box with Fedora.
Yeah, I’ve been running Fedora since the first Fedora Core release. Only ever had an issue once, back on FC4 but was easily fixed. My current laptop is 8 years old and is solid. Only issue is rotating it causes airplane mode to turn on, so I don’t rotate it.
I am one of those gifted folks that enjoy astigmatism. I have tried dark mode and dark themes many times over the years and it just doesn’t work for me. The screenshots are gorgeous tho!
