Just came to say don’t feel embarrassed, that’s actually an interesting question!

Are you hiring? How can I get professionally involved?

Interesting idea of icons and windows sharing the same plane…

I’ve been using it since high school. Never looked back. The only thing that bothers is annoying professors using privative software. But don’t let them define your freedom. Work around “those specific cases” rather than suffering windows just for them.

Stochastic parrot simulators, I like it

Nice! I didn’t know this

Nice

Hahahah, same! I use a folders named as the hostname to build that machine’s config on the fly. And all my config files are in one repo that then I stow

I have a whole system around it, different machines sharing their config files (over a git repo), so if I tweak one, the others catch-up.

Also, you can “build the config file” (I am cat-ing several dynamic blocks depending on the machine I am sitting on) and then init the DE.

Why did you pick DK among the “same kind” ones? (like i3wm, which is what I currently use)

Interesting, do you know i3wm? If so, what is the advantage of spectrwm over it?

Finally a cultured person!

Arch. Yes, it is a tough start, yes, you’ll type stuff on the terminal, but my good god…

• Their documentation is the best.
• You will learn a lot.
• You’ll get the cool stuff before anybody else.
• Your system will be as snappy as it can get.
• updates? one single command is all you need.
• your nerd friends will worship you, and your non-nerd friends will think you are a wizard.
• Once you pass the initiation installation, your system can look as pretty as any other distro.

Honestly, I don’t remember. I set up the tv for my parents (fedora + gnome + rustdesk) a long while ago and it has been running with no issues

I think Gnome is quite simple for old folks. Just make the dock with pinned apps (or panel or whatever it is called) always visible, and that’s a solid experience.

Ctl-D is the End-of-File character. Programs interpret it as “that’s it, the input you were reading has finished”, and react accordingly.

Good job! Flexible tools empower us. Keep it up and spread the love with other people!

Nop. Wrong community, pal

How can I learn how to set this up?

Thank you! I learnt something today :)
