it even has a "Super" key instead of the standard Windows logo you get on most laptops as a great little added touch

They should have used a rocket as the super key, not a text that says "super".

Noobs don't know what the super key is.

You could tell them, instead of being condescending.

Thaaaaaanks for that. I think you missed the point. The point of my comment was to say that not everyone knows to translate the "super key" they see in a Linux operating system to the one with a Windows logo.

Thanks for the sarcasm, but it was you who missed the point. Namely that if you spend a minute explaining what exactly "noobs" get wrong, some "noob" reading your reply might actually learn something, instead of feeling like they're not in the club. It rarely hurts to spell things out in a public discussion. But you just did, so I guess it's all good. :wink:

You're not wrong though. It was only recently that I had to explain to a friend that "super" meant the key where they'd usually have the Windows logo. Although their fancy new mechanical KB had some other symbol on the keycap instead, but that's beside the point.

What's worse, is there is the 'Meta' key label that some of us call it. When people know it as the 'Windows' key, because typically it just has the Windows Logo on it. Thanks Microsoft and keyboard manufacturers for that...

The thing is, while KDE refers to the Windows (or Logo) key with "Meta", in Xfce and I think Gnome it means left Alt.

Quoting: pageroundLooks nice and very cool to see more companies preinstalling a linux distro.

To be fair, brands like HP and DELL have offered (business) laptops with Linux preinstalled for about a decade.

Quoting: Guest512GB "Screen"?

I have very little interest in the Deck beyond the effect it has on Linux-native gaming in the long run, but I'm pretty sure the 512GB model has a nicer screen than the cheaper ones. Anti-glare or something. So you should read that as "Screen for the 512GB model".

@Luca_Pio, you might be happy to hear that based on what I've seen so far, they seem to have made lots of nice tweaks to the Inkscape UI/UX in 1.2, including making the panels and docks more accessible and discoverable. Inkscape will never be an Illustrator clone though and personally I'm very glad that's the case.

Quoting: PhiladelphusWell, I've been using it for various projects for over a decade at this point, and I'm really excited about some of these changes. They sound pretty incredible. Unfortunately Flatpak, though saying it has Inkscape-related updates, is throwing cryptic errors at the moment so I can't try it yet…

Did you give the official AppImage from the Inkscape download page [External Link] a go yet? I only started it but it seems to work just fine.

I've used Inkscape as long as it's been around, and Sodipodi before that. It may not be perfect, but it's still my favourite vector graphics editor. 🎔

Do you love the Budgie desktop environment?

Nope, not a fan of its total black, hurts my eyes and looks like the monitor is burnt. Very very overrated imo.

Isn't that just the GTK theme?

Quoting: robvvOn the Steam Store page they have a quote from the GoL article, for a non-native game. The irony :grin:

I think you're just seeing the curator recommendation, not something on the store page itself.

Quoting: basedI'll be afk for some time, could someone tell me if Forza Horizon 4 is playable now? On nvidia gpu, I'll b very thankful for your info :)

Most reports seem to indicate that it's playable but unstable. Limiting it to 48fps seems to make it less prone to crashing. I suppose it's worth a try if you already own the game, but seems like a risky purchase.
