RE: Mooooore than halfway there

in #linux4 months ago

Did you commit the changes? I remember J saying that a lot when he was explaining what he was doing with the Silverblue kiosk to me or grumbling to himself XD There was a lot of "I forgot to commit the changes" when something didn't after a reboot or "...committing the changes..." after he finished writing some script (the kiosk doesn't have a gui, basically it just turns itself on in the morning, spits up mvp at full screen and starts playing through a playlist, will reopen itself and carry on if people try to close it, and at the end of the day it checks for system updates before turning itself off).

These second hand experiences are making me reconsider trying Kinoite or Aurora on the laptop whenever I get around to getting it. I'm too lazy for the extra steps to "keep the base system clean" x_x

every now and again I go through my home directory and clean up old config files and things from apps I don't recognise or realise I haven't had installed for a while that weren't cleaned up when they were removed

I like OS integration myself (Nextcloud in Dolphin is extremely helpful for me) and also knew some people both in person and online who declared that everything should be doable in a browser otherwise it was bad design and they didn't want to know about it XD

Sort:  

Way too advanced for me. Haven't touched upon those sorts of things :P

I also like that OS integration, particularly for file management. Browser based file management is a cancer. :D

I can get around it by hosting something like nextcloud or whatever on my unraid box, but if I'm paying for Office 365 (excel is kinda a necessity, even though I made my budget web-app), I may as well take advantage of its included "cloud" storage - and I do!

It is just fumbly and awkward to do that on linux.

Browser based file management is a cancer. :D

So you're not a fan of Konqueror then? XD

Doing some insane Excel wizardry that LibreOffice can't touch yet? I know there's a LO office app for Nextcloud but no idea what state it's in.

It's entirely possible the fumbly awkwardness is a purely innocent competence thing but I usually have conspiracy theories that it's all part of the vendor lock-in ploy.

Funny, I use knoquerer on my unraid box, but I much prefer seeing directories visually with icons and previews :P Particularly for images!
