So how did it work out for you? Did bcachefs manage to perform any miracles?

You can’t lose what you never had, though. ;-)

Looks like the Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer but for KDE.

Elderly people in my family use Ubuntu (LTS) for over a decade. In one particular case, all LTS updates are performed remotely, without issues.

That’s no 20 meter wide display.

I don’t think that that’s true. At least not more than for any other community maintained packages.

There also seem to be oxidation problems during the production.

Thanks, I did not know about PyXDG. That was the type of thing I was asking about.

I do. But you might have misunderstood my question. I was not asking for assistance. I was just curious if there are libraries available which allow easy adoption of the XDG specification. I imagine that such abstractions would be useful for multi-platform software and generally to lower the bar for adoption.

Are there abstractions available around the XDG specifications to resolve the proper paths?

I had a similar issue and had to reboot without a battery first, so the previous one was “forgotten”. It seems like the battery control is a completely separate circuit which in some cases needs to be be reset (if you have such options) or depleted so new batteries are recognized. Maybe search for such instructions for your specific laptop brand and model. HTH

I don’t hate Windows but I hate being forced use it. I feel that I’m very effective when using Linux and just don’t like when I am being slowed down. I want to use my machines to get things done and don’t like it when operating systems and tools get in my way instead of enabling me to do what I need to do. Hating Windows is pointless because it’s a waste of energy: it is what it is, why expect more?

I recommend that you transition instead of switching. That way you have a way to roll back If the distro you are trying out proves not to be what you expected.

Thanks for the valuable insight.

Why would it be?

I recently discovered fzf-git.sh and decided that I don’t use fzf enough. For now I am experimenting with using fzf to switch git branches, to see if it integrates with my git workflow. If it proves helpful, then I’ll investigate further options.

May I ask why you switched back to ext4?

I just realized that I used Ubuntu for 20 years. I might be interested in switching to Fedora. How ist your experience so far?

I understand your point. “Program” is a more wider term. Javascript executed in your browser could be a program too. App is just a short term for a standalone program with a GUI, IMO.

It’s just how languages change with time. For example what we simply call “libs” today used to be called by their full name “program libraries”. You don’t often see someone calling them like that anymore. I feel that communication nowadays requires us to constantly check the context in order to avoid misunderstandings. It’s maybe a reason why I don’t write that much online anymore.

I think that the question is primarily about Desktop Apps, since this is the Linux community.
