  • I do, except I always enable minimize and maximize because it seems foolish to me to have those disabled by default. It’s really smooth and whenever I have too many windows open, the overview makes it easy to find what I’m looking for. Initially I was against hiding the dock in the overview but I decided to give it a try one day and I actually ended up enjoying it not being visible.

    What’s funny is that I actually end up using the overview instead of alt-tab most of the time because it’s faster for my workflow, and the default window switcher for apps with different windows open is BAD.

    I’ve gotten so used to the workflow that I find myself dragging my mouse to the top left corner of the screen on Windows lol and painfully wait the extra second it takes to open the Windows overview when swiping up with three fingers on a trackpad.












  • I was on Arch for a couple of years on and off (had only 256 GB of storage on my old laptop, so I didn’t dual boot), stopped using Linux for around a year, and now I’ve been on Fedora for a year and a half.

    Though I thinking of going back to Ubuntu on their next LTS release, part of the reason I wanted cutting-edge distros was because I wanted updated packages, especially Gnome as every update brought big (positive) changes. Most of it seems to have stabilized with only small creature comforts being added now, so I want a stable distro that doesn’t cause Windows to ask me to enter my encryption key every couple of weeks due to a kernel update.





  • Oh, this is interesting. If a fediverse compatible software gets search right, it’s gonna get a lot of users. Otherwise, we either have to change the way we search things or search engines might have to change the way they show results.

    I don’t think it would be too hard to change the query though. Instead of adding “Reddit” at the end of your search query, you can add “kbin”, “Lemmy”, or whatever instance you want to see search results from.




  • I agree with this. The first platform to get discoverability between servers right will likely lead the way. It doesn’t help that there’s a double @ system for both users and subreddit equivalents. I think eliminating the first @ for users and using a different character for topics would simplify the system. For example, a user could be user@dom.ain just as in email, and subreddit like forum could be /topic@dom.ain (or #topic@dom.ain but I’m not a fan of this one).
