It feels to me (in my very #Linux bubble at least), that people are getting extremely fed up with #Windows 11, so I decided to take a look at the actual data we have on market share, and give my opinion on why Windows fails the core jobs of an operating systems, and why people are choosing to move away, more than they did in the past at least:

Blanc is a new open-source and cross-platform web browser built on Electron.

There's no tab strip or address bar as it uses a 'dynamic island' that doubles up as a command palette.

It even claims to use less memory than Chrome or Vivaldi.

The #Bluetooth is weak and thready. It won't pair with my peripherals (mouse / keyboard) unless I'm in a room without any other electronics (ie, not my office!). The headphones clip in and out if I'm connected but in a room with other electronics. Twice in two weeks, at boot, #Gnome can't detect the Bluetooth hardware at all.

Suggestions are welcome. Specific fixes would be fantastic.

Does anyone reading this use #kaT2en to run #Fedora with #Gnome on a #T2 #MacBook?

I cannot seem to get into their Discord--it just makes me do captcha tests over and over again--and I'm having a problem that I'm hoping is solvable (see next post).

Lately I’ve really been considering moving from macOS to Linux. But y’all may not know how scary and chaotic that is. I assume I’m not alone.

Anyone have good stories making this transition?

I’ve been designing and coding for 30 years. THREE fucking decades. On Apple computers that entire time. And I have my family set-up on them. We share apps and stuff.

Moving to Linux would be a wild ride. Even though it’s the one place in my life where I’m contributing to big tech. It feels like the last holdout.

For an ADHD person like me, this is filling me with blend of excitement and anxiety.

I’m loving Linux on my old MacBook. But I might want some new hardware. Like a laptop from @frameworkcomputer. Their hardware is primo.

I’d love any/all advice, stories, etc.

Here's a fun little @libreoffice trick, that I've just stumbled across by accident:

If you select some text (e.g. triple click, or drag-to-select), and then type an opening bracket, it is automatically closed at the end of the selected text.

It works for (, [, and {.

So, #Gnome on #Fedora is working okay. I miss #Debian--as a community project but also, honestly, for all the trans lesbian jokes.

Seems like #Linux⁠'s legendarily huge variety of desktop environments collapses pretty fast if your screen setup is anything other than plain old single-screen 96dpi.

I guess because, for the vast majority of Linux's existence, we were all using plain old single-screen 96dpi or *maybe* two 96dpi screens. The mixed 1.5×/1× configuration I'm using became common only recently, and the old stuff isn't made for this.
