Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Coming from MacOS into Linux and landing on Debian/Gnome encouraged me into the world of keyboard-driven navigation.

I got into customising keybindings and moved to a split programmable mech keyboard not too long after. Three years ago I made the switch to Sway and now on Niri (all transitions switched off) on my laptop. My desktop workstation still is on Gnome and I switch between the two machines (with full keyboard-driven navigation) seamlessly.

Yes, some extensions do break on updates but I use extensions very minimally and they get patched relatively quickly. For the experience Gnome provides, I dont mind the couple of days that "blur my shell" is broken. The DE remains stable and the keyboard-driven workflow is fast.

Now that I daily drive a WM (on my laptop) I am thankful I started on Gnome upon landing in Linux. It still remains the best keyboard-driven DE out of the box for Linux first-timers. Perhaps Cosmic will be the other DE in a few years.

I hope Gnome sticks to its phislosphy as it truly provides something unique, stable and a great entry point into the world of keyboard-driven workflows out of the box.

I took sort of the opposite route. Lifelong windows user. Tried Linux out several times from like 08-12/13. Moved to Linux full time, and landed on Fedora, and absolutely loved it because of Gnome. It was different enough from Windows that it felt like a fresh start. Have been daily driving it since then.

Two weeks ago I got my first ever apple device because I wanted something genuine reliable for school that didn't have any weird hiccups, and I just could not stomach the idea of going back to windows. It's similar enough to gnome that I am adjusting pretty well. Still have fedora on my desktop and backup laptop, though

Hey, at least it doesn't run windows.

Things can always be worse

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 13 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Lack of desktop shortcuts by default: pretty much why I always switch to cinnamon.

That said, it's not inherently bad, it's just not inherently good.

[–] 0x0@infosec.pub 13 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I would rather use nothing than gnome

Everyone asking about gnome, but what's a braixen?

[–] eleefece@lemmy.world 25 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

It's a Pokémon, and in the game, the creatures you don't intent to use are stored in a PC

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 18 hours ago (8 children)

Oh no.

That's ... that's too humanoid.

I'm sorry you were made this way Braixen, the internet is not safe for you.

[–] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Most of the starters for like the last four generations are basically fursonas. It's tragic. I've been a Pokemon fan since the nineties but I'm losing interest.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 2 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

What made me lose interest is how dead the games feel. I'm impressed how they made the world more open and somehow made it feel so empty. Towns have barely any personality, and the routes are just designed to wonder around aimlessly in.

Don't even get me started on the permanent xp share, constant hand holding, and lack of any real puzzles.

[–] thehatfox@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The older games still hold up at least. I’ve been playing through Emerald again and it’s been a lot of fun.

There’s also quite a few good ROM hacks out there too.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 hours ago

I really enjoyed pokemon Lazarus. The challenge mode is actually challenging

Pokemon X/Y fire type starter. Starts as a Fennekin, becomes a Braixen, then final evo is Delphox, Fire/Psychic type.

[–] therewolftherecastle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 18 hours ago

Ew, Gnome.
