This looks pretty cool!

My recommendation? No. Don’t.
I’m an ex Windows user, current Linux and Mac user. Keyboard shortcuts on Linux are much closer to Windows conventions compared to macOS. I wouldn’t recommend using a Mac keyboard with Linux. I’d only recommend it if you want to use both Linux and macOS with the same keyboard (you will be happier in this case, because using macOS with a Windows keyboard sucks, vice versa).
If you don’t like the Windows key design, get a keyboard with a custom one.
I use dict.cc because they support the context menu action to look up definitions.
That’s a long list of changes, wow.
Personally, I’m not considering Vanilla OS just yet. It does too many things in a custom way. I am however keeping an eye on the project, since they have interesting ideas and they’re making progress in the area of immutable distributions (which will be the future I figure).
Same for Florisboard: press ?123
, then 1234
.
Side note: Florisboard also allows you to use custom keyboard layouts, which would make it possible to
a) make the numbers keypad accessible with one click from the main layer and b) move the numbers actually to the right side (not in the middle like they’re now).
There’s a catch though: currently, the process is quite technical. An easier way is planned, but it’s hard to say when it will arrive.
I second the recommendation to use NTFS. I don’t have the same use cases as OP, but in my experience it works really well. Back in the days when I was using Windows, I had a system and a data partition (i.e. personal files, pictures, videos… you get it). When I switched to Linux, I kept my data partition and just mounted it on my Linux system. I started with dual boot and didn’t have any issues. No need to manually install a NTFS driver these days.
That’s a couple of years ago and my secondary SSD’s still that same old NTFS partition. Thought about moving to a Linux native filesystem, since I don’t use Windows anymore, but never had an actual reason to do it.
Maybe a bit patience will do, since Thunderbird is planning to…
a) make an iOS app b) add support for sync to you can sync your settings and account conifgurations between devices
I don’t know of any good solution that works right now however. :-/
Personally, I’m not interested in the type of posts you mention. However, I don’t mind it. In general I think it’s great to tell the world if you ditch Windows for Linux, because it shows other (Windows) users that they can do it, too.
Though I have to agree that for a dedicated Linux community, it doesn’t add too much value. If I think a post is a bad fit for the community, I vote it down.
And for 80$/month you can get 25Gbps!
It did take forever when I tried the last time. Literally hours.
Just installed NixOS with Wayland and Gnome the other day on my laptop with Nvidia card. I had to tune the config a bit, but it works flawless now – notably also with the offload command. That’s fine for me though because it saves considerable energy if the GPU only runs on request.
Apostrophe. The perfect, slick markdown editor.
uBlock Origin would be my number one, but they don’t take donations. So my list would roughly contain:
I’d like to donate to Firefox as well, but Mozilla spends too much for the wrong things and AFAIK it’s not possible to only support Firefox development.
I’m confident his announcement to “leave social media” was an April Fools’ joke.
