Not only desktop...

Much people here talking that desktop is the only platform where Linux isn't popular. But it's not so. Big amount of science equipment runs Windows. Oscilloscopes, electronic microscopes, wafer dicing machines, steppers and so on uses it. So, I want to ask you two questions:

1. Do we need to do something with this?
2. If yes then what and how?

Why the biggest distros are using Gnome when it's so unpolished and heavy? Not to mention the design choices...

Just wondering what makes Ubuntu, Fedora, Pop_OS and some other big and widely used distributions to pick Gnome over something like XFCE, KDE and even Cinnamon?

They are more customizable, user-friendly and looks much better. I would call them even more mature and stable as a DE.

Just Dumped Win 7 Pro for Linux Cinnamon 64

Excited to make the switch!

Any suggestions for a newbie?

I've relied on the full google suite for syncing. What's best to replace it as I'm wanting to remove as much Google from my life as possible

Will we ever be able to drop 32 bit support and move to a clean 64 bit environment?

I think it will take at least a few decades more, at least for me. I still have a bunch of closed source games via steam that is in 32 bit that I regular play. So I still need to have 32 bit support for some apps.

When do you think it will be gone and dead? It is only recently that 386 was dropped and we supported was moved to 686, which seems to be the new baseline. Would we ever see 686 being dropped ?

As a lover of TUI interfaces, I made a library for creating them in python, and then used it to write a TUI application for managing git repositories!

I'm trying to find a password manager accessible via an api for a browser web extension

Web extensions (addons for firefox / chrome) currently cannot access passwords stored in the browser's internal password management system, so as I need the functionality of password look-up for an account, and don't want to store the passwords in plain text, I'm considering if there's a password manager which will allow me to request a password via an api using an auth token? I'm not tied to an API, I intend to run the password manager on the same system that I need access to the passwords, so if there's a better way using ports or such I'll be open to it.

Any recommendations please?

Linux users: what was your “Aha!” moment that convinced you to switch to Linux as your primary OS?

I’m curious about moving in the Linux direction but I don’t feel like anything has jumped out at me yet as a vital reason to switch.

Note that I’m not asking for a list of pros to using Linux, I’m asking for the specific moment where you became convinced that it was worth it!

FWIW I currently run macOS

Dual boot file system

I use a dual boot between Windows and Linux.
I use a NTFS partition to share files, but I discover that it's slower on Linux. Are there any better alternative?

I made a customizable Notification Daemon

​

Hey, I just wanted to share the notification daemon I wrote. It is inspired by Dunst, **fully customizable**, and **true transparancy enabled** (if you have a compositor, of course). It is also equiped with a **notification center** style pane where you can view past notifications:

Feel free to check it out and give me some feedback :)
