I think that seems like a good idea

Ew, R*ddit

Yes, that, in fact, is an unpopular opinion here.

i always thought /usr stood for “user”. Please tell me I’m not the only one

The difference is, that you’re using something for free, and you can disable this very easily.

I love that he finally talked about it. He shortly mentioned the switch to Linux a while ago, in a gaming video, and Im excited to see if this makes Desktop Linux a bit more popular.

I’m not that deep into the topic, but I experimented with GTK and tkinter as a kid

Idk, use whatever desktop environment with whatever theming suits you, there’s a seemingly endless supply. and if that really doesn’t work, try to make your own, i guess!

I’ve heard of “Disk Driller” but I have no idea how sletchy it is or if it’d work

I used Windows 7 before, but my first computers all ran Linux. (Raspberry Pi 2b with Raspian; First 64-bit PC ran Ubuntu Mate)

You know what? I didn’t believe you, since I’m using it for a long time on Linux and never had any issues with it. Today, when I helped a friend (on Windows) with some SFTP transfer and recommended FileZilla was the first time I realised the official Downloads page provides Adware. The executable even gets flagged by Microsoft Defender and VirusTotal. That’s actually REALLY bad. Isn’t FileZilla operated by Mozilla? Should I stop using it, even though the Linux versions don’t have sketchy stuff? It definitely leaves a really bad taste.

People don’t use FileZilla for server management anymore? I feel like I’ve missed that memo.

God I hate what the modern Internet does to my brain. I had to double check if that laptop is AI generated

I dont think the community is generally against AI, there’s plenty of FOSS projects. They just don’t like cashgrabs, enshittification and sending personal data to someone else’s computer.

I mean, it’s better to have to many comments than not enough

Well you can, but there only are quite hacky approaches like

• diplaying a webpage with a stream of the screen
• using a capture card on the laptop and displaying the input
• using a laptop that supports it
• using a display control board to turn the diplay into an external monitor

I believe you can buy a dummy HDMI plug and use Deskreen to host the screen in a webserver. This should work, but I don’t think it’s a good solution.

Edit: Deskreen seems to no longer be maintained and therefore doesn’t support wayland. I think it’s because of the Ukrainian war, and the creator being directly affected by it.

Gnome disk utility.

I like this style, reminds me of modrinth
