I don’t like Linus, the channel’s content is half-assed at best, and there is so much sponsored content and self-promotion that it feels more like a ‘skip-the-ads’ game.

On the flip side I think it’s good that they shit on Microslop regularly and steer their audience towards Linux. With such a huge ‘normie’ audience, they are helping introduce those normies to the existence of alternative operating systems and apps. Their videos can have momenta that make me smork (either because of something titanically stupid or something clownish). Additionally, I’ve seen some videos of them that have alerted to new projects, hardware or even situations in the tech environment (which I then research in other places, of course).

I have nothing to say about private jet, political views or orientations.

I came in to say just that, so, I’m just going to upvote you and move on.

Sure, what could possibly go wrong?

So, I finally (almost) did it. All I am missing now is the dynamic workspaces and to make Dolphin look/behave a bit more like Nautilus. And I know I can just go ahead and install Nautilus, however, it would install a bunch of Gnome dependencies that I don’t want.

But for now, it is working as intended. Even the Alt-tab that used to just go around the active workspace can now go across workspaces.

Again, thanks so much.

The first documented school shooting in the US was in the 1920s. While they were not as prevalent, they continued happening and climbing. Then the 90s got way worse, the 2000s even worse. So, mass surveillance has been on the rise just like school shootings have been on the rise. Now read your comment again and see if it makes any sense.

I would be behind your statement if you said it 10, or even 5, years ago, but right now, and to use your own term, that teacher is the one being obtuse. Everyone sees all these news on privacy invasion by corporations and governments on a daily basis. Choosing to do nothing about it does not make you a victim.

It would be a different story if there were no alternatives, but that is not the case, at least not yet.

I’m in a similar situation as you. I’ve been a Gnome user since Gnome 2, but want the same as you, which is why I asked for the configuration in Plasma to have a starting point.

I just spun up a new Fedora KDE install to try again (for the 100th time) to achieve the same workflow I’m used to in GNOME (mostly it’s having an app grid instead of an app menu, dynamic workspaces and ‘dash-to-dock’ functionality). There are some things that have been incredibly hard for me in KDE in terms of ease of access, like how ‘Alt-tab’ doesn’t seem to work across workspaces, then Plasma in default is just too crowded when compared to Gnome. But I think KDE is far superior in terms of customization, and I can easily have various windows of the same app open and traverse across them with alt-tab, whereas in Gnome alt-tab will only work across apps, not separate windows of the same apps.

So, like you, I’m still trying to make my DE my own, but it is fun, and I am learning a lot doing it.

Gnome has slowly become like a DE made by Apple. Even trying to configure it to use a screen shot app other than the integrated one is a fucking chore, they want you to forcibly use theirs, which is great for basic screen shooting, but I’m more of a flames hot fan because of how seamless it is to annotate on any shot instead of taking the shot, having to use a second app to edit/annotate, and then, I don’t know when it started, but every screenshot gets saved as a picture now, no way to just use it with the clipboard and let it disappear on the next SC or copy.

Then there’s the mentality. In GNOME If a feature doesn’t fit the design language, no matter how popular, it’s rejected. Dissenting opinions on design choices are almost always met with “trust the process.”
