Or just explain instead of bringing that language. Why even bother answering?Classic Linux nerd comment. You always just "search!". You just dump a random short. How Then you expect to read through pages of documentation to install a font? Yes, yes you do because you are probably a Linux god who enjoys reading through technical stuff that makes NO SENSE to non-technical people.
Maybe just not come with advice if you are going to be a dick as soon as one asks a follow up question.
Yeah I found out but the first three guides I found all use the c/p to font dir. However, you are correct - gnome and kde both have GUI apps to view and install fonts. But wasn't aware since the guides I found didn't talk about these apps.
So, ignorance on my part š¬
Nah, I think it's simply a design choice made for gnome files. Been playing around with other file explorers that checks my requirements. The joy of freedom.
No, but we haven't yet seen the influx of proprietary software on Linux.
Say that Adobe, MS and Autodesk enters this space. You think that gnu/Linux will stay on the path of being Foss or will it become more proprietary and closed? Or will these companies fight and use their influence and money to e.g. push for permanent proprietary code in the kernel?
No, that's not what I wrote. But I fear what will happen to the gnu/Linux/Foss community if Linux becomes a land for non-foss. My premise for my concern is that we should fight against non-foss in this space. This is a ideological stands which you may or may not agree with.
It wouldn't but since these software companies (Autodesk as another example) have a monopoly, I doubt that most windows users for some reason would switch to Foss alternatives - thet already have that ability with windows. I fear that Linux basically becomes windows in terms of what software is primarily used, i.e protritary software.
My premise is that Linux and its user space applications should be free software and that the community should fight back against non-foss in this space.
Just came across this issue today. I need to install a font. The dir is not accessible through gnome Files. Actually, nothing but mmom ounted drives and my Home dir is. So if I to work in dirs outside my Home, I HAVE to use the terminal. Just to copy a font to a dir outside my Home.
Rather that noobs stay on win tbh. If gnu/Linux become mainstream, the Adobe, MS etc etc will just move onto Linux. Just look at flathub - how many of the top downloaded programs are proprietary? A lot, e.g. Discord and Steam.
How is this even possible? Does Musk just gets to do whatever he want without any questions? Why don't the us. Marshals just deny such insane requests?
And, I forget the source, voicing your opinions online has shown to be quite useless in terms of making actual change. Will try to find the source if needed.
We use OG version at our school but will introduce this instead. I try to implement use of foss where possible in my teaching. S little unrelated but very good CAD alternatives to fusion 360 that has a similar "easy" GUI? Blender is ok but not really a CAD tool.
Good counter argument
