    Plasma has improved A LOT in the past year. Like a year ago I hated it. now? I daily drive it. I hate to use this phrase but everything just works.

    I was kinda disappointed with the 6.6 release as I really just want dedicated virtual desktops per monitor but their compromise actually isn’t that bad. I just had to turn off animation for changing workspaces and it’s fine. Even tiling works A LOT better on Plasma than it used to and dare I saw kinda works better/is more smooth than Sway and the like and I’m not even using krohnkite. you can quickly toggle the splits for windows and even do vim style navigation between windows. you can even do vim navigation with windows that aren’t tiled.

    Plus the stuff they have packaged in is just better than most alternatives out there. I love Konsole. it has everything I need. and Kate is also a fantastic IDE you can REALLY customize that is slept on by many people. Dolphin is great too. It’s nice having a DE that just has all the stuff you need right out of the box and you don’t really have to change any of the defaults.






  • Don’t go to bars in Canada on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in winter then cause…god damn it’s all they’ll show. OH and if you’re lucky, Friday Nights too.

    in my 40+ years being Canadian i’ve YET to meet another fellow canuck that enjoys or watches curling. never. and yet they’ll show the absolute shit out of it on TV here. I don’t get it. We even have god damn curling clubs everywhere and I STILL have yet to meet anyone that loves it and plays it.

    It’s just so bizarre. finding a hockey fan or simply someone who has played hockey? sure no prob, we all played as kids. But curling? never. I don’t get it. I think it’s some Canadian conspiracy or something. Like for decades the Canadian government has been trying to push curling on us to make it popular or something and no one plays it. no one watches it. but you see it all the god damn time.

    before I made the switch to Linux I never used a terminal. never. hell on Windows I even used a GUI for Git. I used sublime text as my IDE. if it wasn’t a GUI I was lost.

    Then I switched to Linux and it forced me to actually sit down and learn the terminal and now…now I have a hard time using GUI’s. If something has a CLI or TUI option then I go for that over a GUI. like everything even my music player and video player. my IDE of choice now is DOOM Emacs. my file manager is Yazi. for Git I either use lazygit or just straight up the command line. but for everything else it’s just so much faster and in the long run easier to just use the terminal.

    All that being said if you like GUI’s then hey more power to you and that’s fine. that’s the beauty of Linux. you run your system how you want to and don’t let others tell you otherwise. Hell I know a guy that uses NixOS and doesn’t have anything installed other than git and comma. he runs everything via comma. literally everything.


  • I know a guy that has a @linux.com email address. And yes putting that email address on his CV and Linkedin has resulted in him getting emails daily from companies asking if he’d be interested in a position or interview. He’s even had people just straight up offer him a job because of it.

    Note though he’s a web developer and pretty much all the jobs offered or interviews etc are for positions out of his skillset i.e. system admin, server manager, IT, data analyst, etc. because they all see the linux part and figure he can run a server or something.
