I remember one time I installed a lot of themes for my session and I broke something and the themes changed my icon files forever and I had to reinstall Ubuntu!!...
Use what distro you like, but most distros are very easy to install (some even easier than Ubuntu I would argue). KDE Neon would be a good starting point in that regard. What exactly is hard to understand about Plasma? I have heard this sometimes now but I really don’t get it, I find it to be very easy to understand as it integrates for example theming
Hello everyone, I would like to share my little project I’ve been working on recently. There are many awesome data sharing solutions around. However, I’ve always wanted to be able to just alt+C on one machine and Alt+P on another, clipboard is just such a handy thing! so, I finally decided to get this done. Welcome...
Yes but no. Relearning a program is one thing but the biggest problem with GIMP is: no non destructive editing. In the professional field GIMP is basically out of the question because of that
It’s not about undoing. It means you can do things like edit something, change something else and then change the original change and then have the second change change accordingly to the change of the first change. This is something most professional or semiprofessional photoshop users I know need which GIMP doesn’t offer, that’s one of the main reasons people use photopea
I’ve been running Linux Mint under XFCE for a while now and I am growing tired of it. I originally had cinnamon which I did not really like so I decided to go with XFCE and customize it to my liking....
It should work on Mint as well, but the theming may be off you will probably have to redo Icons and such. Just FYI, XFCE can totally look like Gnome (look at rhino Linux) if you theme it. You may consider installing the SaveDesktop app and redoing your XFCE setup (the unixporn community has some great inspiration)
macOS and Linux have additional security features at a system level, on Linux most software comes through controlled repositories or sandboxed flatpaks. There are also tons of multi million dollar companies that constantly try to find and fix kernel level vulnerabilities and a distro like Debian, which is very popular for servers, has had less major vulnerabilities than windows 7 throughout its entire lifecycle and Debian exists for other 30 years. So I’d say Linux is would have a few less (different) attacks
It’s Not Bad, but against the malware that always is a step ahead it stands little of a chance as it can’t solve the “legacy” problems that keep windows from becoming more secure
As Richard Stallman said: Steve Jobs created a cage and made it so shiny that millions of people want to be trapped in it (From memory so not exact, just search Richard Stallman Apple fanboys are fools)
I don’t hate Ubuntu, it used to be my favorite distro and I haven’t found anything that really replaces it. I hate Canonical for destroying my favorite distro
Which version of Ubuntu you’re installing (including which flavour), Whether you have network connectivity, Hardware stats, including CPU, RAM, GPU, etc, Your device vendor (e.g., Dell, Lenovo, etc), Your country (based on the time zone you pick, not IP), How long your install took to complete, Whether you have auto login enabled, Your disk layout (how many hard drives and partitions you have), Whether you chose to install third party codecs, Whether you chose to download updates during install
(According to OMG!Ubuntu) Most distros offer optional telemetry, but Ubuntu’s is opt out not opt in (for GNOME you have to separately install the telemetry)
how can I customise my Ubuntu theme without breaking anything??
