It ain’t really his top.

He said in the video that he uses Floorp and Chromium so he can’t put them in another tier.

What he thinks is best is in the tier under.

Yeah I guess I should do this in order to learn more about window managers and hotkeys.

Still I know that I need a DE for sure for now. Even on a DE, I find the explanations about how to use them kind of lacking.

For instance, Gnome doesn’t tell you that you can spread 7 programs on 7 workspaces if I’m not mistaken.

At the beginning, I was really using a kind of Windows workflow instead of discovering the full power of Gnome…

This applies to the other DEs I use too…

I feel really lost with all these users talking about window managers, hotkeys and specific terms. I feel like a rookie😅

If someone has a video comparing a lot of different workflows, I’d love to watch it. I feel like my workflow could still be improved.

Currently I use Gnome on my Surface Go (hooked to a big screen) daily driver, Cosmic on my old MacBook Pro and KDE on my Steam Deck (hooked to the same big screen).

I love Gnome and how I’ve configured (with an extension) every program to open on a specific workspace at startup while just using gestures or keyboard to move between workspaces.

I’ve kind of reproduced this with KDE and Cosmic, but it’s not as perfect.

KDE doesn’t follow the window rules I’m setting and Cosmic doesn’t let you automatically start programs on a specific workspace.

It’s true that stumbling on Lemmy usual la happens after quite some time on Linux, not the other way around.

What’s great is that OP is gonna be finding a lot of Linux stuff on Lemmy!

Okay thanks, I’ll look at my cables when I’m home.

It’s true that I’ve never thought about being more careful when I get these small programs from Github.

Well something like this https://github.com/meliorisse/CordIDMonitor or this https://github.com/connection-information-suite/usb-connection-information-menubar-linux or https://github.com/nedrichards/whatcable-linux sounds kind of useful for my case

Yes that would probably be the project if my wife didn’t want to keep her Netflix subscription😅

For now, I’m giving up on the open source smart TV as I also don’t want to impose too much on my family.

Next TV would probably be a dumb TV or a Linux one though.

Really interesting, but it shows you that it’s not gonna be tomorrow that my Philips smart TV is gonna become a Linux TV.

I already bricked it one when switching the base launcher and removing too many apps. After struggling to set it up perfectly to watch movies on LibreELEC in perfect conditions, I ain’t tinkering with it as long as it remains my only TV.

Maybe one day we’ll get Linux friendly smart TV and cars…

To be honest, my view of Fortnite is kids buying expensive skins. In Roblox, I’ve seen people creating games and kids are less pushed towards spending money.

I’ve seen my son waste a lot of his allowance in Fortnite and almost none in Roblox.

But, to be honest, while I’ve watched him play, I never played myself…

No bad experience for now, but my kid can’t chat with people also.

Oh maybe, it’s just that for me Roblox and Fortnite are the games my kids are playing and one of them can be played on Linux.

I don’t know about PUBG and I don’t know if it’s popular with kids/teens.

Maybe you should try to tell her Roblox is better as I managed to have it working on my Steam Dech through Sober and Vinegar.

We used to keep our Playstation 5 for this, but lately he only plays on the Steam Deck so I’m considering selling it.

This is what I use. I don’t remember what does what, bit I wouldn’t enjoy Gnome as much without them.

Wow this looks really nice!

I’ve tried KDE and Cosmic, but Gnome+extensions is my favorite DE by far. It’s 99% of the time perfect😅

Yeah I guess something like NixOS might be the solution for me, even if it apparently comes with a steep learning curve…

But it would not really answer my need to discover new distros and DEs while saving my settings in case I wanna go back to my old distros and.

Could you tell me what’s supposed to be in /home and what’s supposed to be in /etc ?

What do you do when you install a new install? You replace the installed version of these with your old version?

But would this include how my dock is configured, what extensions I’m using, what programs are installed and things like this?

But would backing up user data really make me able to install the same distro on a new computer without having to set up anything?

I don’t know if it’s useful, but they are all running distros with only default settings changed and program installed.

The only modification I’ve done is installing some broadcom drivers for the MacBook. The rest is quite stock/vanilla except extensions and workflow tweaking.
