The default value listed in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf is installonly_limit=3, and it is not recommended to decrease this value, particularly below 2. MacOS is filled with UI elements that, as far as I can tell, only appear once. For me it is either gnome or i3/sway + rofi. macOS isn't perfect, far from it, but claiming it's unintuitive because you couldn't immediately scan a document is nonsense. 0 Disable GPG signature-checking on packages in all repositories, including local package installation. Glob expressions are normal strings of characters which contain one or more of the wildcard characters * (which expands to match any character multiple times) and ? I know it's another Apple-only tech, but have you seen/tried AirDrop? You select something somewhere - copied. IMO this consistency and composability is a large. Natural scrolling is available in Windows & Linux these days (as it's a user preference many have grown to prefer of late, on all platforms). Closing all document windows doesn't close the app. You can always install Quicksilver. windows. Similarly, on macOS, the scroll direction cannot be changed between mouse and trackpad. I'm not going to defend OSX here. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with that comment. There's no tray bar. By default that's Control+F4 (switches focus between all visible windows in all visible Spaces) and it "making sense on ISO keyboards" is irrelevant because (contrary to your claim in a different comment that macOS is not customisable) you can in fact change every keyboard shortcut that shows up in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts as well as remap your modifier keys in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys. With user-friendliers distros like Ubuntu, you usually are "plug and play", ready to go. For instance, if you install any app developed for the KDE Plasma desktop environment, the app will install a bunch of KDE packages that it depends upon. Alternative title: KDE is different than macOS, hands down. It obviously has a clipboard. Heres a quick list for the commands on all the most popular Linux distros and their derivatives. All files with the .repo file extension in this directory are read by DNF, and it is recommended to define your repositories here instead of in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf. People have, with some unofficial engagement from Lenovo's Linux technical lead, gotten Linux running on it [2][3]. In this example, we perform a dnf check-update and confirm that a kernel update is available, however we do not wish to install this package at this time. Each one had the same directories, it was really easy to understand. Turning repositories on and off can also be performed by passing either the --set-enabled repo_name or --set-disabled repo_name option to the dnf command, or through the Add/Remove Software window of the PackageKit utility. Also by default Control+F4 will cycle through visible windows of all apps. where parameter is one of the following: baseurl, metalink, or mirrorlist; where repository_url is a URL to a directory containing a repodata directory of a repository, a metalink file, or a mirror list file. By I never see it hide something that is so critical to a hidden menu or something similar. Create File System. Familiar != consistent. Is it related to the USB connection mode in Android's settings? Who cares? > I know it's another Apple-only tech, but have you seen/tried AirDrop? Everything about the macOS desktop experience is terribly unintuitive and bad. Note that in order to remove a package, all other packages which depend on it will also be removed. > If you haven't, then it makes absolutely no sense. Anything that takes place in a terminal is very comparable to linux (& the builtin emulator is a lot better than what comes bundled with many linux DEs). At least one package has been downgraded to an older version. However, some users might find it unnecessary (or bloat). So I needed to go with the Pixel 4. In the first example we were prompted to press the y key in order to proceed with the installation. Many other distributions also include GNOME, including Arch Linux (GNOME 42), Debian (GNOME 3.38), and Gentoo (GNOME 42). If you know the name of the binary you want to install, but not its package name, you can give dnf install the path name: dnf then searches through its package lists, finds the package which provides /usr/sbin/named, if any, and prompts you as to whether you want to install it. *: You can work around this with the `com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem` setting at the cost of Desktop icons, but we're talking default settings here. As already mentioned in the comments, I will take any OS other than Windows 10/11, but my preferences are macOS and Intel's Clear Linux. Commit. where value is an integer representing the maximum number of versions that can be installed simultaneously for any single package listed in the installonlypkgs directive. But at the moment, I cannot use Apple Silicon on anything else other than Mac OS and I believe the performance of these chips is unmatched and it will not be anytime soon. The disproportionate celebration and the impressively un-mnemonic, un-discoverable shortcut both stood out to me at the time. On some linux environments I can't take for granted that I will see an image preview in the file picker, so there is that. While we can update specified packages in this manner, it is often easier to simply apply all available updates for all packages on the system with dnf update. Serious, not facetious, question. You still need to download packages, dependencies, editors/IDE's to do anything. Setting a higher debuglevel value causes dnf to display more detailed debugging output. It's worth noting that this is not about being accustomed to doing things only one way. In this example we can see that the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file comes from the httpd package. But sure in the end nothing is better then pacman with aur. Of these examples: Well, on macOS, my note-taking, reminders and calendar apps all sync with my phone and tablet. With dnf-automatic, we can also modify the /etc/dnf/automatic.conf file. Which is continuing to be a big downside of KDE or Linux in general. The iPhone 8 performed better and had a much better UX than my then-current Nexus. Like the good old "Mac vs PC" ads suggested back in the day. The author wants a single key combo that cycles among all the open windows from all apps, because that's what he's used to. Two pieces of evidence: (1) it leads to confusion with multiple monitors and (2) new Mac users invariably have trouble remembering to look for app-specific choices at the top of the screen. People learned how to work around Doze years ago, hell, I made commercial products that did exactly that. Windows actually used to be better at this I feel (did I imagine this? I wonder. > don't even talk about Docker working 20x times slower. (On macOS it's still showing up on Cmd+Tab, but selecting the application doesn't activate the window). Also to not install something that needs sudo. Wifi works. Valve has also proven it wrong by launching a mainstream linux device that just works out of the box. > MacOS is interesting in that I know regular users who have used it for over a decade who still dont grasp some of its basics. Check the section below for some common npm commands. Therefore when we remove the httpd package, httpd-manual must go too. Use the following search command to find any package and its source. Which ties into why I havent been able to switch to keepass: client quality is all over the place and even if you find one you like, theres no telling when its going to go dark and if youre lucky get forked. Mostly playing "DorfRomantik" and "Mini Motorways". Yes I can spend endless hours getting arch installed with only the packages I want/need making sure it's totally optimized and then what, every single other part of my workflow now has to work around the limitations of linux. I could spend hours downloading third party apps to add basic functionality like windows snapping or tiling, HDMI volume control, Cm + Opt + T to launch terminal, package managers like brew or I could just use Linux and get all those things out of the box. I edited my original comment. The iOS client just launched this year. On macOS, this is the expected behavior. I opened Fleet once, turned on Smart Mode, and my laptop (which smoothly runs VSCode with many extensions including TabNine) immediately slowed to a crawl because it ran out of RAM and started swapping. I have strong intuitions about what parts of a whole desktop computer system are 'operating system features' or part of 'the desktop environment'. my email client, my chat application. I imagine that with me bothering to learn WSL it would be really rather quite good. What I don't understand is the author of this article making statements like this that reveal they have not put in any effort to learn a whole new OS. Not including binary blobs is idealism at its worst. This came from the distro. Quantserve (Quantcast) sets the mc cookie to anonymously track user behavior on the website. I wish there were Linux distributions that took an app-centric approach similar to that of macOS. should be appended to the headline. > The keyboard just works, sharing between apps just works. Lion was a bit of a stinker in that regard, prior to that there was no full screen applications in that more traditional sense, only borderless full screen for video and games - anything else used smart maximise where the window size would increase to fit the content (again a bit of a poor choice, but thats my personal opinion). so? Both of the options you mentioned weren't obvious to me and I only found out about them from your comment. The [repository] sections, where repository is a unique repository ID such as my_personal_repo (spaces are not permitted), allow you to define individual DNF repositories. Every dark pattern imaginable is built into the OS now. You also have the option to opt-out of these cookies. The accessibility thing is a little silly and needs better names on Apple's part but needing to give software permission is a strong security model. I'm sure if linux/kde/gnome implemented copy-move semantics instead of the usual cut-paste first, every linux evangelist would advocate it here for how superior it is to win/mac paradigms, sort of like package management flavor of the month, middle mouse button to paste text etc. Konsole just grabs the path from all that is sent to it that is not clear text. In the above example we learned how to list currently installed packages on our Linux system with the dnf command, now we want to be able to query a repository and list its available packages instead. The only difference is that you can't actually close it. But opting out of some of these cookies may have an effect on your browsing experience. In all, it feels like Apple demands a "larger" language one needs to learn, compared to various Linux distros. Hacks piled on top of other hacks, required to make Linux CLI work on Windows but it's just that, a hacky way to use Linux. Or you're working on a file and want to navigate to the containing directory, you can right click on the proxy icon and it will show the full hierarchy for navigation, etc. I did get some good tips from the comment someone linked: > I can't cut-paste a file. Not a word on intuitiveness and effortlessness. It features both pamac and Synaptic package manager with every update. > What the fuck? I've got Teams running, and Zoom. I can have firefox with ublock. Google AdSense sets the _gads cookie to provide ad delivery or retargeting. Oh it works on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Why do you think that "windows" are the appropriate level at which to consider things, rather than a hierarchy in which one first choose the appropriate "application" and then switches between windows for that application, if more than one exist? My next machine will probably be a Mac for the silicon, unless AMD's 5nm Zen4 really shines next year. And this one isn't a very frequent use case for normal users. Many more [repository] options exist. My daily driver personal laptop is a macbook, it's the best machine I've ever owned & my next laptop will most likely be a macbook. set global DNF options by editing the [main] section of the /etc/dnf/dnf.conf configuration file; set options for individual repositories by editing the [repository] sections in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf and .repo files in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory; use DNF variables in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf and files in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory so that dynamic version and architecture values are handled correctly; add, enable, and disable DNF repositories on the command line; and. Without fiddling. It seems possible that might work, although without image support at least 50% of my use-case is gone: Wouls you care to elaborate a bit as to why you would care if the OS you are running os Windows? Apart from reviewing the transaction history, the dnf history command provides means to revert or repeat a selected transaction. Last edited by ArchUserBTW69 (Today 16:10:52) Moving the goalposts after being shown something is a asshole move. Luckily not yet. Installing Linux takes literally the same amount of time than any other OS and if you are a developer, it just works. > On some linux environments I can't take for granted that I will see an image preview in the file picker, so there is that. * Finder: no side by side view for easily moving stuff between unrelated folders/paths. > At the semantic level it's fundamentally mixing two separate concerns. Yes I looked at that but the software support is not there yet. On macOS, there's a concept called "Proxy Icons". If we dont want to display the output messages we can simply specify the -q option for quiet which will hide all of the output. Yeah of course. In this case, /etc/yum.repos.d/mirror.aarnet.edu.au_pub_centos_7.repo has been created with the contents specified above in the output of the command. But Mac would easily be the best quality. How does the 8cx Gen 3 compare to the M2/M1 Pro/M1 Max? I have an Android, and when I go to a product page on the app store, there is this huge "install" button clearly in a different color. Homebrew has more packages, but packaging for MacPorts is not any more difficult than packaging for Brew. MacOS is interesting in that I know regular users who have used it for over a decade who still dont grasp some of its basics. Your legacy baggage is my favorite feature. Say what you will about Debian/RedHat/SuSe - but at least they come with thousands of binary packages that are tested together and generally work out of the box, and come with a stability guarantee and security patches. Right click on the folder in the path bar > Open in Terminal. I also hope that Frame.work will release some day a good laptop with an good ARM chip. We can optionally exclude a specific package from update, installation or removal with the -x command which will exclude that package. Flatpak: Make sure we don't uninstall what we shouldn't. Im so over endless discussions individual philosophical and aesthetic preferences in o/s and window managers. yeah; I'm not a Mac fan and I've only begun using it seriously this year, and a lot of what he says is wrong, or easily discoverable if you just look. I now see it has an 'Import image from scanner' function. Beats macOS at what? Yes, you should only install latest versions. By default dnf-automatic has a random sleep period of 300 seconds, which is the maximum delay that will take place prior to downloading. Ideally it shouldn't. Sure, using option/alt to get a copy isn't "intuitive", but that wasn't the point. Incorrect. KDE has KDE Connect for shared clipboard, sending files between devices, and such functionality. Type yes and press the Enter key.. Were done here. I personally think the way BSD handles software is better, Linux blurs the line between 3rd party software and system dependencies and that causes all kinds of issues when its time to update or remove stuff.

Must be learned. More often, it's hardware manufacturers dragging their heels. As shown the iscsi-initiator-utils package can be installed to provide the iscsiadm command. The most intuitive UI that I have ever used is Intuition on the Amiga. The key point I remember feeling at the time is that it felt like MacOS despite not having used a Mac in over a decade. I have no idea what you mean, but you can drag lots of stuff in windows to different places and stuff happens. If a transaction does go awry, you can view DNFs transaction history by using the dnf history command as described in Working with Transaction History. on Linux. Documentation is an admission of failure. I just cannot stand it. It's why I can only work in Linux. KDE is one of the most popular free and open-source desktop environments for the Linux universe.KDE developers have focused on user interface design for the latest years, and they. Unix-y stuff is good enough. Have you ever wanted to run a command, but youre not sure which package is required for it? The disk image stuff is cool I guess, but I'm guessing it's possible because Apple controls the hardware and software. It has its bugs but generally speaking the utility functions within the OS work well much much more frequently than windows or linux. This is simply false, and the whole list is by someone who just hasn't made an effort to learn how to use a new OS they are not familiar with. Slackware is a Linux distribution created by Patrick Volkerding in 1993. Variables can be used only in the appropriate sections of the DNF configuration files, namely the /etc/dnf/dnf.conf file and all .repo files in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory. Some effort is necessary to see what an OS offers, and this author clearly hasn't done it. I have a older macbook, but I don't like the lack of default UI features I just got used to in KDE. Having it poll in the background means I don't need to wait for it to sync when I next open it. This is similar to performing a dnf remove followed by a dnf install, however here its done in the one command and custom configuration is not removed, as a dnf remove will delete all configuration files managed by the package. *though imo Mac OS was lovable as recently as a decade ago. Again more odd once you realize you cant support them. Now if you compare it with the clean default desktop macOS popular Linux distributions offer out of the box it makes a lot of sense for someone to avoid Windows. Guess what, it didn't work (but of course it wouldn't say it isn't working, it just kept spinning for tens of minutes), i had to set up a payment method first (for a free app, Obsidian, that supports payments for extra features). However, if I had to choose one, I will likely stick with Mac though. Fitt's Law is a factor, BUT I think the always-on-top menu bar made more sense when smaller screens were the norm. DNF presents the update information and then prompts you as to whether you want it to perform the update; DNF runs interactively by default. That is just bad UX. What the hell happened to multimonitor support? In this example we want to create an iSCSI initiator, this is done with the iscsiadm command. A sample /etc/dnf/dnf.conf configuration file can look like this: The following are the most commonly-used options in the [main] section: where value is an integer between 0 and 10. A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface. To configure the default set of repositories, use the enabled option as follows: 0 Do not include this repository as a package source when performing updates and installs. Yeah, great. You can also use your systems package manager to keep Firefox up to date. Cmd-Down I think, but I agree the shortcuts are super weird. Haha, true i once made a bet that i can survive a week with 9front/Plan9 at work..well it worked since 9Front has SSH and i was always on servers. You build up muscle memory and you're set. It's a reasonable complaint in my mind, if you're used to only thinking about windows, now you have to spend extra brain power on thinking if you want to change app or window within the same app. - My Mac laptops went to sleep when closing the lid. It just gels with my brain better. Another factor: there wasn't much reason for the original Mac team to think about multi-tasking. > And you can run iOS apps on macOS, so nope, this argument is invalid. Time to set up is comparable, or even better for linux. So it was ok that on Windows, searching for files was hidden in a sub-menu and rather slow. I never own a macbook, but wouldn't a default install with only one application installed being an hypervisor to run a linux vm work for you? When piped into the grep command this becomes extremely powerful as it allows us to search for a specific package to see if it is installed. Like Lightning, which could have been a global standard, if it didn't encrypt all transfers with custom chips, a custom handshake and custom protocol, all of which only apple controls. It was one of my missing features when I start. That's laughable and I don't know how it gets a pass from everyone. But it does depend on experience and open-mindedness. Windows surely also have lots of hidden function. To add a repository located at http://www.example.com/example.repo, type the following at a shell prompt: To enable a particular repository or repositories, type the following at a shell prompt as root: where repository is the unique repository ID. Yeah most people don't need this ever. It's quite nice, but it only works inside Terminal. Under Windows you can use the uninstall option, which removes DLLs, executables, settings, database and banner cache. Other uncategorized cookies are those that are being analyzed and have not been classified into a category as yet. It's like little smug kids teasing other kids with petty things "ha ha, my OS doesn't have a decent commercial photo editor or video production software, but you don't have a native clipboard manager, ha ha". I've got a GNOME setup at work, but no idea if it has a similar feature. I don't have it set - it's got drawbacks (aforementioned Desktop icons) but mostly I prefer to run with defaults so I'm less annoyed at fresh installs :). Wow, that's not what I was looking for. Probably iOS 7 or shortly after. It's a very subtle behavior, but I'm sure for windows users it's totally discoverable and intuitive. Being able to install security only updates during patching may be a requirement in your environment. Functional cookies help to perform certain functionalities like sharing the content of the website on social media platforms, collect feedbacks, and other third-party features. I agree that a lot comes down what youre used to, but there are also good reasons to prefer one approach over the other. One could, and one woud still be mostly wildly incorrect > Not unintuitive different to what you are used to. Containers are also still a fucking nightmare, even with the heroic efforts of the people behind Colima/Lima. (: But even without that choice, malicious aliases for brew, or PATH changes and a malicious ~/.local/bin/brew would be possible. For example, it claims macOS is missing: When I first switched to osx many years ago, this was a pretty jarring change. Sort of, though using Time Machine is very effective. and I don't even talk about Docker working 20x times slower than on windows and 100x slower than on Linux. To make sure the glob expressions are passed to DNF as intended, either: escape the wildcard characters by preceding them with a backslash character; or. You can find something to complain about with any DE. (this is a rhetorical question). Linux uses CUPS, even Chromecast uses mDNS, and KDE famously invented WebKit (and still uses it). EuroLinux is a Polish company which has been developing open-source server OS and solutions for almost a decade, mostly in the Europe market. In fact, in the olden days, when scanners were still a thing for most people, you would 'preview' the scan first! That is, when Fitt's Law was developed. And to add to the point, Alt+ is not the same as alt+tab, which will switch between all the available windows while the former will only switch between the windows on the current selected application. This. Google and MS do also have a similar feature they both annoyingly call "nearby share" (the two aren't compatible with each other). So the transaction with the ID of 13 was used to remove the httpd package. Third party software also doesn't help. In the following instructions, well be using the wget command to download Chrome and the distros package manager to locally install the downloaded file.. An alternative approach is to download Google Chrome for Linux using any It's possible to use apps from your phone on your PC for example. The word "intuitive" is defined by Merriam-Webster as "readily learned or understood" and "knowable by intuition". If you enable the pathbar status bar thing in finder, you can right click the current folder which is always visible there and launch the terminal. Also, if I had to use a Mac again as a daily driver, the first program I would install is a VM and install like Debian or FreeBSD on it and then setup KDE. While we can simply perform a dnf update to update all of our installed packages to the latest versions, this may not be ideal in a production environment. have had more issues on Linux here: all the many ways to get them to work do work fine I think, they're just a lot of fiddling. You might want to look at the Lenovo X13s Snapdragon [1]. With a 4K monitor at the highest-possible resolution, it can take a loooong time to get the cursor all the way up there from the window I have tucked on the lower half of the screen. A package group is similar to a package: it is not useful by itself, but installing one pulls a group of dependent packages that serve a common purpose. There are times when you may want to delete this cached data, such as if a repository has updated packages but your Linux system has incorrect or stale cached data which may cause various problems when attempting to install a package. You can 'rm /usr/local/bin/*' without sudo. There are pros and cons. Would also like to see something with full, official Linux support that's at least M1 class. But this and the proxy icons are two things that I missed the most. Windows Terminal is a good way forward but CMD is not as good as bash or zsh. Apps are cold-starting much faster today than it was back in the days of disk spindles. These cookies help provide information on metrics the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic source, etc. Comparing KDE and macOS is weird. Personally I'm happy that desktop OS's are trying to improve end-user security (why do I have to type the root password to install a game, but I don't need one to run a cryptolocker? That's ARM only, is a limited subset of apps and is NOT the literal app on your phone with whatever data/state is there. > Incorrect. Secure package management with GPG-signed packages, Updating All Packages and Their Dependencies, Example 1. On windows I used Scoop. It's like a universal second, "quick" clipboard in Linux. I almost agree with this, except that the shared clipboard between my phone and computer on iOS/MacOS is so useful I'll often switch to my MacBook from my Linux desktop because of it. It's in View > Show Path Bar. There are apps for that, like writer mentioned - so what's the problem? Or you're editing the file, but realized you need to make a copy of that file before making changes, you can alt-drag on the icon and copy it elsewhere. To expand on this, when you click that install button, you get a progress bar and a notification with that progress, so you can know what's happening and where it's at. > Intuitiveness is just what you are used to at this point. Who knows, it's very frustrating. KDE colorscheme. We simply provide a known repository URL in the add-repo option, and this creates a .repo file based on the name of the repository URL specified. Correct me here but Server and Enterprise/LTS have a proper evaluation period (180 day?) It doesn't store personal data. Trying to justify why any user interface as unequivocally better than another is an exercise in futility. Manjaro XFCE KDE Plasma 5 KDE Plasma 5 KDE Plasma # pacman -S plasma kio-extras KDE # pacman -S kdebase KDE # pacman -S kde-applications kde-applications None of what you describe here makes Mac "unusable". So the way it handles installation software is going to be different. I either don't understand the problem or what's wrong with `cmd-tab` for app switching and `cmd-~` for app window switching. For example we can run dnf grouplist to view the groups that are available for us to use by default. Or looking up words in the built-in dictionary. At this point I'll never buy another Apple device. Unless Keepass just didn't tap into the API (which would surprise me), but Enpass works like a charm and I felt like an idiot for manually going into the app and copy-pasting this whole time. It is like these old and boring companies think that by using macs they are suddenly "trendy and hip" and the millennials will flock to them? I don't wanna imagine this. Setting up your first Mac as a Linux user ends up feeling like a ton of work involving a ton of disappointing dead ends. In the Lion era I was issued a Mac as a work laptop on a contract. Agreed. - OmniFocus as my personal GTD. I tried using Linux for my laptop at Google but it was a torment due mainly to the wonkiness of the trackpad driver. But fair. Fedora, PopOS, Ubuntu require the same amount of work to set up as a macbook. I remember when I first used a Mac in like 2004 I thought this was fantastic. But, there are superseded packages in my repository. Objectively, it has huge flaws compared to Linux package managers (permissions, sudo, capricious renaming of binaries). I haven't regretted it at all. A big part of it is that Mac users don't generally think of or treat macOS as a multiuser operating system. Well Im done with this page, might as well close the browser wi oh wait thats right its downloading something., I'm the opposite. After using both for a long time, I have to say KDE is less painful and faster in operation. See Configuring DNF and DNF Repositories for details on enabling signature-checking with DNF, or Checking Package Signatures for information on working with and verifying GPG-signed RPM packages in general. I don't really have some complete, ideal feature comparison in mind. For example, if the transaction installed a new package, the dnf history undo command will uninstall it and also attempt to downgrade all updated packages to their previous version, but the command will fail if the required packages are not available. I'm having a hard time understanding this, even with your examples. Most of their concerns are addressable by external apps like Rectangle, AltTab and Maccy. The pairing mechanisms are also extremely more flexible than what MacOS allows. This command displays the list of matches for each term. > What the fuck? I went to an app store product page, and couldn't find any install button. And it's free. Unsubscribe any time. The former is true, KDE ships with a clipboard manager with history, macos just has copy/paste. Several of the things listed are false (like the lack of ability to open files with your keyboard, which you can do with cmd-) and app window switching (cmd+~). The dnf group list -v command lists the names of all package groups, and, next to each of them, their groupid in parentheses. But yeah I didn't know about that option either in iOS after 2.5 years.. And that lies with the distributor of the OS as much as the hardware vendor. I mean, sure some of those things are crap in MacOS. There really is more than one way to install an app. Note that after confirming the packages that will be installed, you will be asked to provide input. But I just want to point out that the latest nexus phone is from 2015 and iPhone 8 was released in 2017. The apt command is a advanced command-line tool, which offers new software package installation, existing software package upgradation, updating of the package list index, Sounds a lot like drag and drop saving, which as I recall was a feature first introduced in RiscOS. > On Windows and Linux, applications can have no window open by installing a background service (ugh) or hide to status bar, but application need to explicitly implement the behavior. Additionally, I love that people will hate on macOS for lacking features and therefore requiring helper programs but will at the same praise GNOME Shell which requires even more. This is an example of what happens if you attempt to perform an action without the appropriate plugin. Even though I loved my S9, barely a year in it wouldn't even hold a day on a single charge. Youd have to search around the VMware Workstation forum for the solution though. I don't trust closed source single vendor systems with my data, sorry. What OP means is: I've got a fixed workflow, and now I have to learn a few new shortcuts. and the thing is, the alt-tab is not even really a native idea for macs - Expos is the way to switch windows (which, for me is the 4 finger swipe up on the touch pad - but some people can choose to use hot corner on the screen, or the dedicated hardware button). Things like the clipboard and its behavior. Right? Often, the bit of missing functionality comes with its own miserable journey of discovery.

For example, to remove totem, rhythmbox, and sound-juicer, type the following at a shell prompt: Similar to install, remove can take these arguments: DNF is not able to remove a package without also removing packages which depend on it. I can only assume that I'm misinformed because the current paradigm makes no goddamn sense. There are a few other options for doing that -- the two that come to mind: if both hands are on the keyboard, the standard Command-Tab combined with the down arrow key allow you to cycle through both apps and windows of a single app. Shell globs using wildcards (for example, * and ?) Plugged into an external monitor, and that worked fine. > Installing Linux takes literally the same amount of time than any other OS and if you are a developer, it just works.

I agree, but will add that you can avoid most of the consumer-focused adware junk by just installing Windows Server 2022. I've never seen Linux drop support for hardware except ultra-ancient hardware (>40 years). To list all configuration options and their corresponding values, and the repositories, execute the dnf config-manager command with the --dump option: Setting [repository Options] describes various options you can use to define a DNF repository. However, you can also set gpgcheck=value for individual repositories instead; you can enable GPG-checking on one repository while disabling it on another. I can drag the file from kate, however konsole doesn't accept the object. I'm also a burned child by the build quality in the last years by lenovo. Yes, you are so much cleverer than I. 6. If you take an experienced, dedicated (that is, not having used other computing environments regularly for many years) user of macOS and an experienced, dedicated user of Plasma and sit them down at each other's computers, both might reasonably feel like on balance, things are missing and the experience is lacking. Mac's screenshot support is really good. Continues to be one of my favorite quotes. Bad. > Why do you need to alt drag? As an example using --oldkernels --count=2 option with package-cleanup command the command will remove all unused kernel while keeping last three most recent kernel versions installed. I'm sure the same applies to apple folks trying gnome/KDE/windows. Maybe you missed it, but I'd ask you again to explain how the author's complaint of traditional Alt-Tab (as described in my comment) missing is "false". Besides directly summoning windows with hotkeys I've assigned, it's pretty much the only way I ever switch windows on Plasma. This file contains one mandatory [main] section, which allows you to set DNF options that have global effect, and may also contain one or more [repository] sections, which allow you to set repository-specific options. The package: This is a single file containing all the data needed to install the program.It can be executed directly on the system from a software repository.

You middle click somewhere - pasted. So glad I moved to a real installation after wasting a whole month on WSL. Small quality of life things like builtin pdf & image preview with annotations and signatures, a readily available pop-up dictionary, smooth gestures, built-in screen recording, quick preview for all types of files when you click the spacebar, sharing files quickly via airdrop, a good email reader, not to mention the whole creative suite and so on. Fwiw I've run Linux on an ancient macbook pro in the past (which was past supporting osx/macos): it worked great. That doesn't mean some tasks are not easier or that hard to use software design is the fault of the users, it's just that the complaints are pretty silly coming from someone who had to learn KDE's quirks and yes there are great solutions for this on any OS. > It's a different way of thinking about desktop hierarchy. I've never seen Linux drop support for hardware except ultra-ancient hardware (>40 years). It always both me that why mac ever want to make the [move] option be in the hidden menu at first place.
