That would be equally bad.

I think you have to learn, but I don’t think it’s difficult to learn. As I said I find it intuitive. My mum could learn it and she is not techy at all. That’s actually a very good example, because she couldn’t print on Windows and now she can with Linux.

Like KDE? It would be a lot more complex. I would fear giving KDE for newcomers. It’s basically windows 98, but with frosty glass themes, fragmented apps.

Or Cinnamon? You upgraded to windows XP. Congratulations.

Deepin? Looks cool until you try to use it.

Xfce? That’s stable and fast. But would you advertise Linux as that outdated?

Cosmic, still early.

Budgie, maybe.

I really think gnome is the best default.

Nevertheless, It’s you mixing intuitive and familiar. Moreover, people who give Linux a trial, they wish for something different. And they really like Gnome from my experience.

Not at all. Newcomers want intuitive UI. And gnome is really that.

Examples:

One unified settings app. Containing all the settings that as a average user needs. It’s always at the top right corner.

Change the wallpaper? Top right corner -> settings

Add a network? Top right corner -> settings

Extend display to projector? Top right corner -> settings

It’s not weird at all.

What would be a better starter DE then?

If somebody is coming from a different DE he wants the same interactions that they used to do. It’s easy to hate Gnome because people see that first. And they find:

• there’s no tray
• what’s that line at the top
• where’s the start menu
• where are the opened apps
• is the app drawer really that ugly

And these are only expectations and you just learn to do things differently.

Just because it has a different workflow that big players implanted in people, Linux needs to match that?

The worst thing you can do is to install a dock extension to make it feel like you are in your previous DE. If you want to get the real Gnome experience, you need to let it be Gnome.

As for the design, it’s indeed subjective, but we can agree that it is modern with balanced spacing. You can feel that a graphic designer worked on it. And if you don’t like it, that’s the same as with other DEs, install a theme. As you can’t change QT apps to use titlebar you can’t change GTK apps to use app menu instead.

And finally the keyboard efficiency: Indeed every major DE is keyboard efficient, but I wasn’t expecting it for Gnome when I was learning it, because I’m videos, you always see clicks, so I mentioned it.

It is included because it is innovative, newby friendly (windows and Mac are both more complex), It has efficient keyboard navigation by default. And it has pleasant, modern UI by default.

Could you please not excite cancel culture against a great DE?

And the uncomfortable question is, why was he moved closer to scala in the first place.

(ok I’m no different, I learned elixir once)

If you want to join developing an alternative, I’m in.

I use prisma ORM with kysely Query Builder. Prisma has its own schema language that we write with great IDE support and provides a parser to generate type-safe clients. It gives you the ts client generator by default. But for example, kysely also needs types and somebody wrote a prisma-kysely generator, which generates types for kysely based on the prisma schema. Prisma since then also have Typed SQL (type-safe raw sql). (Although, I haven’t tried that yet.) So prisma can cover that missing 9% of cases, and there maybe 1% left for untyped raw sql.

Do you think Lutra can replace that 9+1% of cases? Or would it be also useful to write migrations in Lutra?

What do you think about ORMs?

please explain why do you justify killing people in ukraine

That’s a fair point. However, on the practical side, it’s sad that I would have to root my gf’s phone to let her access the services we host.

I ended up using a DynDNS and Caddy for managing my cert.

I don’t know about iOS, but Android had support for this in the past. Now the support is partial. It’s no longer possible to install system-level certificates. Or at least they made it extremely inconvenient.

Let’s be extra safe. New cert per every request

not all phones support manually adding certs

I don’t think it’s ADD. There’s a book called ‘thinking fast and slow’. In that book the psychologist separates the mind functions into two systems. System 1 is for intuition, no effort, fast thinking. System 2 needs effort, slow, but precise. What happens here is that simply people are trying to be efficient with their thinking and they use less system 2 which is required for reading.

Mostly dictatorship. I have no problems with russian people.

I was talking about a hypothetical scenario in which Russia became socialist again. I could use our autonomy for useful things.

It’s the post description
