Why over-complicated? I'm genuinely curious, as I think it sounds pretty cool that you can install apps from different package managers in containers, but export them to use them in your main environment.

Theming, controlled one central place.

This goes for both Gnome (GTK, Qt, Gnome Shell) and Sway (GTK, Qt, Sway, Rofi, Waybar...)

Sway allows you to assign apps to workspaces.

Vanilla OS 2 Orchid sounds very interesting, I think. It's in alpha now. Have a read about their package manager - it's kinda meta, allowing you to use other package managers in parallel.

Try the VanillaOS 2.0 alpha?

:D

Any text editor and a sheet of paper saying

Please type your name and press Enter

Maybe Vim so noone quits it by accident.

I haven't tried the profile. Do you think it's for you? I think that's important to think about. If you don't know if you like keycaps with dished tops, maybe you could try some other, cheaper variant first.

Ok, thank you. I'm an idiot. I added the Nova search bar and searched its settings.

How do you set up a Firefox search bar, if you don't mind?

Hyper + [whatever]

If you are ready to use a bit of remapping (try keyd, it's awesome), then you can remap a key you rarely use to Hyper to get that as a direct modifier.

You can also assign some key to activate a layer when held, but still return it's regular output when tapped. So e.g. holding A gives you a new layer, press-and-release just prints A.

In the new layer, you can then set, say, f1 = f13... f12 = f24 and, say, esc = katakana etc., thereby getting access to a lot of keys not present on standard western keyboards, therefore not used as standard shortcuts. These you can then use directly, or in combination with standard modifiers like Ctrl, Shift...

I'm being prompted to download Downloadfile.bin when I load the linked to URL.

Ok. Reddit has some really elaborate system where the first upvotes gives 1 karma, then after upvote 500 or something, each only gives 0.5 karma or something, etc.

I bought both my parents new old machines now that they retired, and I opted for a T480 for both. They've been called The Last Great ThinkPad over on r/thinkpad since they are both powerful - first generation with a quad-core processor - and nicely upgradable. The upgradeability also means that you don't have to worry overly about the amount of RAM a used model has: you can always add more cheaply (and very easily).

This was asked yesterday, too :)

Sidebar > three dots next to Subscribed > Default

Would a terminal command be acceptable?

In the sidebar, I saw Default next to Everything. Three dots next to Subscribed allowed me to set that to Default instead.

Ko problem. Ok, so just the sum of all up- and downvotes. No dicounting for viral posts, etc.

No points here, only crowd voting based sorting.

lf sounds interesting, too. Haven't tried it yet. The link is a guide on migrating from ranger.
