I recommend that you transition instead of switching. That way you have a way to roll back If the distro you are trying out proves not to be what you expected.

Thanks for the valuable insight.

Why would it be?

I recently discovered fzf-git.sh and decided that I don’t use fzf enough. For now I am experimenting with using fzf to switch git branches, to see if it integrates with my git workflow. If it proves helpful, then I’ll investigate further options.

May I ask why you switched back to ext4?

I just realized that I used Ubuntu for 20 years. I might be interested in switching to Fedora. How ist your experience so far?

I understand your point. “Program” is a more wider term. Javascript executed in your browser could be a program too. App is just a short term for a standalone program with a GUI, IMO.

It’s just how languages change with time. For example what we simply call “libs” today used to be called by their full name “program libraries”. You don’t often see someone calling them like that anymore. I feel that communication nowadays requires us to constantly check the context in order to avoid misunderstandings. It’s maybe a reason why I don’t write that much online anymore.

I think that the question is primarily about Desktop Apps, since this is the Linux community.

I would assume that “application” (or its short form “app”) implies some kind of GUI.

What about gitk & gitg?

Any hardware vendor taking Linux support seriously is good news!

They are implicitly asking about known compatibility issues.

I’m afraid that there is no profit for Nvidia to justify the work for supporting older hardware.

I wonder how it is compared to Clementine/Strawberry.

Visual Studio Code […] is (partly or totally, I’m not sure) open source.

Visual Studio Code is like Android is relative to the Android Open Source project. As far as I know, VS Code comes with an additional Microsoft layer of telemetry and closed source additions in its binary form. Not to mention the license which basically assumes the right to do almost anything to the underlying system. That’s why projects like VSCodium came into existence.

Please anyone, correct me if I’m wrong.

I’m one of those evil people who works in marketing.

Yet here you are, complaining about the ads in Windows. Are you sure that you can go without them? :-D

Thanks. I didn’t even know that Nerd Fonts existed! :D

That sums it up quite nicely. Thanks

I don’t think I change anything except the monospace font nowadays

Which font do you use?

It works great and gets out of the way.

I think that that’s why some Gnome users just stick with it. I personally don’t want to customize anything, if possible. I don’t even want to concern myself with the DE at all if possible. Any time I spend on the DE is time I don’t spend doing the things I actually want to do. But that’s the beauty of Linux: everyone can use whatever fits their needs best, be it Gnome, KDE, xfce or anything else.
