This Windows 11 Start menu change is now coming to Windows 10
  • Ah, OK. Yeah. So probably what you're looking for is a "tiling window manager". I've never used one so I can't help, but that's the thing you probably want to search for. I've been tempted to try one because using just the keyboard to move windows where I want them seems very useful, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

  • As other people have said, you have to be carful with dual booting on the same drive with Windows. It doesn't play nice with others. To add on though, Linux can access your NTFS (or whatever) systems fine*. You can leave them as they are and access the same data on both systems, though Windows is not capable of reading most other filesystems.

    *May require installing a package, but every distro I've tried could out of the box.

  • One thing you'll have to learn to deal with is that it isn't Windows. Some things will work differently, or the specific tool or functionality you're used to might not exist. There are probably different solutions to the same problem that might do the job, but may be different than what you had before. It's the same with everything. There's tradeoffs, and you have to come to terms with and get used to the differences. You can fight it and try to force it to be what you are used to, or you can get used to what it is.

    This isn't to say to give up on your search. I don't know what FancyZones is or what it does. I'm just saying be open to learning a new way to do something. I've seen a lot of people struggle trying to make their system into a Windows clone, and it ends up being more trouble than just coming to terms with it being different.

  • There are a ton of options. Plenty of people (me included) wouldn't recommend Mint, but some will. Everyone has their preferences and tolerance for certain things. The most important step is to just switch. You can always move distros.

    Personally, for a new user, I'd say Fedora with KDE is a good choice. I use the gaming version of Garuda, which just comes with some extra stuff for gaming you'll probably need anyway, which you can do manually or just grab this. Regardless, KDE is probably what you want coming from Windows. It behaves similarly to Windows, but is very customizable. Other DEs have other benefits though, so there will always be other recommendations.

  • Yeah, fuck MS and everyone should try to run away as fast as possible, but this isn't the big thing people should be worried about. I literally didn't notice what was different in those screenshots until I read more. Maybe this is done to add things in the future that'll be bad, but it itself isn't. I'd be much more concerned about Recall.

    Neofetch is over, but many screenshot system info tools stand ready
  • Yeah, I'd just do it on whatever machine I'm developing on. You've got to transfer stuff from it anyway, so just include the compiled binary.

  • Many capitalist nations have failed without intervention. No communist nation has failed without the US (and many others) interfering to make them fail (because none have existed where this hasn't happened).

    If communism were so bad and guaranteed to fail, why would so many resources be spent on destroying them?

  • I think I've heard of people making coffee and then freezing it into ice cubes to put in different things. You could totally make ice coffee too.

    Trump Repeats Debunked Conspiracy Theory Harris Wore Audio Earrings During Debate
  • She did perform great, but honestly I'd say a large part of that would be her reactions in the side-by-side while he spoke. There's not way someone could have told her through an ear-piece how to react quickly enough for that. It's just a really stupid lie, but that's pretty normal for this gross weird old man.

  • Yeah, go ahead and have extra-genocide. I'm sure everyone being harmed appreciates that your maintaining your morals by instead doing nothing.

    In the trolley problem you get a choice to pull the lever or not. Choosing not to is still a choice. In this one you can choose to divert the trolley to kill a fraction of the people, or choose to keep the trolley on course where it'll kill the people on that other track and a bunch of others. Make your choice. You don't get out of making a choice by abstaining. That's still a choice.

  • No, it isn't for them. It's to bring attention to the subject and have other people pay attention, and hopefully rise up and demand change. The political class will do what's convenient. It's up to everyone else to make the most convenient choice the moral choice.

    Seeing someone choose to die in what must be the most painful way possible indicates there must be some reason they feel so strongly. It then forces anyone paying even a little attention to confront what that reason is (assuming they did their messaging g well). Once they confront it, the hope is that they feel even a fraction of the conviction of these brave people.

    Edit: I want to add, if you feel like taking this extreme action, make sure it's truly the best option. There are so many ways to make your message heard and I'm doubtful this is the most useful. There are groups who could use your time/knowledge/conviction/money who are trying to creating change.

  • Yeah, I normally avoid and hate all the superhero stuff, because it's generally all the same. Legion was not though. Legion was different and we'll executed. I wish we could see more like it.

    Laura Loomer: Who is conspiracy theorist travelling with Trump?
  • She has apparently been spending some nights at Mar-a-Lago IIRC, and has also been traveling with him in his jet. Theres also quite a few pictures of them being really close. Sure, we don't have video of them having sex, but it's about as obvious as it can be without that. We all know how much Trump likes to take advantage of women and also likes sycophants, so it'd only make sense that he takes her in.

    Laura Loomer's response to Lindsey Graham urging Trump to ditch her? 'We all know you're gay'
  • The problem is she just is trash. Somehow that's gotten her a following. She doesn't know anything else. Most other Republicans know you're supposed to not say certain things, but she has never known anything but saying the worst things.
