  • Multi Monitor support on a remote session for one. In fact as of right now the situation is even worse and causes the application to crash altogether instead of dropping back to a single screen. Yes, I probably could force a x11 backend and it might work. But I shouldnt have to.

    I am assuming this is the same security issue that has been there for a while. So many applications that could interact with other screens become broken. Maybe some of that is fixed, I suppose I should try again. But until I can multi-monitor with a remote session, I don’t bother trying.

    I am all for Wayland though, don’t get me wrong.










  • Given that windows administration is powershell these days they kind of are similar.

    Windows is missing so much in their guis abilities (like copy text) that I wonder what there is you are missing.

    Edit: Although this is not an admin function, one thing that bothers me about windows, A LOT is that the file explorer does not show free space while I am in the current directory. Dolphin will do it even for SMB shares. Also you can click the drop down and examine all drives right there instead of have to back to the left and ruining your view in explorer. And don’t get me started about how you can’t split views in Windows explorer. This is just one everyday task where windows GUI is lacking in features even though it is not an admin tool.


  • I have been using Linux for a long time (20+ years) and my main had been Arch.

    Just wanted to say I put Fedora KDE spin on a laptop about 8 months ago and it has been great! Updates are frequent but have gone smoothly, some software is newer than arch which is kind of surprising.

    But it’s all been integrated well and I was pleasantly surprised.

    So I agree with you as a longer Linux user.

    I hope the new Fedora project lead does just as good a job.








  • It sure is a popular app regionally. Lots of people in different countries I know use it interchangeably at this point: when they say text, they mean whatsap. I get it.

    But I will not support Meta, there is a line. I don’t need family or friends that cannot use open source alternative. Worse case, I just drop back to sms.

    But work requires it? Or you happen to have work that needs to support many customers? I suppose I could see that, but work would then be a completely separate phone only for that purpose.
