A normal Tuesday for a Linux user.

Sure, if that family member is just deaf enough to mishear everything and has the functional intelligence of a cabbage.

I just did it, and even with all the extra setup I've had to do (finding a non-browser way to access OneDrive, installing a kernel module due to my Motherboard manufacturer being opaque and unhelpful about a particular chipset, using that module to control fan curves, setting up EQs, etc.), I don't regret it.

There have been a handful of times I considered going back, but the power to do whatever I want with my system is just too good to give up. I just installed a Gnome extension that let's me have tiling similar to RiverWM, and just everything I can do that was locked down before is so worth the effort to figure out.

No, the minimize button is, but enjoy Xfce

Oh, that makes more sense. I appreciate the clarity!

• I'm not sure what you mean. Lack of desktop icons is only valuable to people who want that (I don't, and I remove them on my Plasma systems).
• Gnome has a minimize button, and you need only turn it on in Tweaks > Windows.
• You can change themes in Tweaks > Appearance, and you can install themes by script or by manually dropping the files where they need to go (something you sometimes have to do on Plasma, too).
  • You can further adjust themes with extensions or scripts. Unless you change themes often, quick theme swapping is not a feature everyone needs or wants. How often are people doing this IRL?
• I can right click all my menu and dash/dock icons and get an app-specific context menu, so I'm not sure what you mean with this gripe.
• Systray is one of the things I don't like about Plasma, and I wish they'd find a different solution. It's bad enough on Windows.

I run both DEs on different systems, and they're both good and bad at different things, but they both have comparable feature sets. Their workflows are different, yet you can do virtually all the same things in each.

Functionality like what?

Telegram should not be considered an encrypted solution, due to the opt-in nature of their encryption. The owner regularly collaborates with law enforcement, as well.

It is, but this data is useful to anthropologists and political analysts. They can't work off of gut feels and vibes.

Because that's not authoritarian enough.

Telegram is not private. When are people going to learn?

Tried it, and it works! Loads at startup, and I don't have to reload the CoolerControl daemon or do any other manual intervention.

Thanks!

Okay I will admit it was impressive to see how they solved where to stow the wings and essentially shrink the airplane footprint to a long car footprint, but who is this for? Who out there has $1mil to blow and is like, "I have to drive directly from the tarmac to my hotel"?

This thing needs 300m of runway in its airplane form to get airborne, so forget city or even suburban takeoffs. And you're not going to just drive this thing around. At the end of the day, this is still a (very fancy) plane that drives.

Thanks, sounds very similar to what's going on with those users. I'll look into that thread a little more

Unfortunately, this didn't fix it, either before or after. sensors-detect can see the ITE chipset, but it says

    
Trying family 'ITE'...
Found unknown chip with ID 0x8688

  

After which it doesn't find any modules to load for it, despite having a DKMS module installed that includes that chip.

(Also, I realize that I was using the incorrect ID before, but it seemed to work anyway.)

It worked, and I appreciate the explanation. I also realized I was using the wrong ID (which still worked, somehow); it should have been 0x8688.

I guess I can now figure out the best way to get that to run at startup or on login! Thanks again.

I did, but before I installed the modules. Do I need to also do it after?

I think they're using "geek" here to mean "fan," but I agree that being a geek implies a level of fandom or interest that these "wounded fans" don't have, or else they'd know more about these corporations they're stanning.

I think a better word would simply be "fan."

It's pretty cool how books are more than just fuel for imagination, no? But I second the idea of joining a book club, because not only do you get the cognitive effects of a book, but you get the social benefits of a club!
