Hold the meta key and click+drag to move applications around

this varies depending on Desktop Environment

But holy crap do I accidentally select text or drag files randomly around when intending to move a window (on windows)

edit: in case I wasn't clear of when my issues arise

I did for the most important stuff, but redownloading my game library was not fun.

Also, windows will never brick your machine because of a full hard drive. My wife has a shitty MacBook air. She filled the drive completely. The OS can no longer function. It boots and that’s it. You can’t open anything, you can’t delete anything. Every single click says free up HDD space, even deleting files.

The almost exact same thing happened to a friend of mine using Windows 11. The machine booted, but he was unable to log in.

Also windows 10 updates has twice deleted all my files, I am now no longer on windows.

edit: Thanks to psud@aussie.zone for teaching me something new. (quotes formatting is a thing)

Every safeguard like this should have a "I understand, I am not an idiot" button. Especially when deleting a bunch of records in a database.

Now where did I leave those backups...

This is how you end up with way too many games in the wishlist

They still sell with Fedora pre-installed

Dell, HP and Lenovo can deliver with Linux pre-installed

That to dangerous, you have to at least get a new identity and flee the country. Burn everything and start from scratch

I use g915 tactile, and it works just fine. Noise level depends on how hard you type.

I have never had an issue with keyboards or mice not working, just plug and play

I can also recommend Logitech MX Mechanical as a good alternative.

edit: both piper and openRGB works to control the unicorn vomit. Piper also works to set the macro keys.

I believe Windows license cost change based on GDP of the country where it's sold. So might not be the same savings, unfortunately.

Lenovo also have Red Hat Certified on alot of their computers, which mean every component will work with RHEL.

The amount I drink per week, would probably not even be called drinking in Europe.

Let me present you with a few:

• Lenovo (can deliver with both Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise)
• HP (specify distro in order)
• Dell (Specify distro in order)
• System76
• Slimbook
• Tuxedo Computers

I absolutely agree, and I didn't mean to undermine your point in any way. I just wished to inform those that might not have been aware.

Drinking less = less dangerous

I also believe that “rewards” in moderation can be more healthy than avoiding everything that is unhealthy

The ones I am unable to use a browser without:

• Sidebery
• Darkreader
• Bitwarden
• uBlock origin
• uMatrix (even if it won't get any more updates)
• Firefox Multi account containers (although I probably can just do this with Sidebery)

Nice to haves:

• Tabby
• Don't Fuck With Paste (this is really nice when login pages try to prevent password manager for “Security” reasons)
• Augmented Steam
• ProtonDB for Steam
• Imagus
• HTTPS everywhere (because websites still to this day can't set a proper redirect)
• Facebook container
• LanguageTool (semi open-source alternative to Grammarly)
• Invidious (this redirects YouTube links to invidious instance selector)(There are like 4 different ones, all not updated in 2–4 years, I am thinking of learning enough coding to support this)
• Tabliss (this is a nice new tab where I can add reminders of what I am supposed to be doing instead of what I am doing)
• Custom Scrollbars
• User-Agent Switcher and Manager

I used to have plugins for reddit (like RES and old reddit redirect), but won't need them anymore.

Thought she was from Sweden, also TIL Anthony Young is now Emily Young

From my understanding, their free tier is fully open source, but their paid features are closed sourced. I could be wrong.

I think it's still the better alternative out there, so I'm still recommending it. (the free tier is more than enough for most people)

This might be a good time to push open source alternatives like LanguageTool
