Great idea!

When I’ve thought about this is in the past I’ve concluded that my expectations of Linux are actually higher than Windows or Mac. It’s given me the expectation that if something doesn’t work the way I want it then it will be possible to make it do that, whereas with other operating systems I have been more inclined to just accept a limitation and move on.

OK, I’m guessing that term has some extra baggage around here which I’m not privy to… I spent too many years chopping wood and growing corn, so someone will have to fill me in!

I thought I’d just slip it in and see what happened! I like making things in GIMP as well

Amazing, thank you so much :)

What’s that? GIMP?

Found it! I’d missed that - thanks!

I’ve been ricing my GNOME DE.

Only joking. I had a bit of fun in GIMP for to illustrate this post. You’re welcome to use it if you want :)

Ah OK, please accept my apologies. Could you recommend somewhere where this sort of discussion would be more appropriate? Your active moderation is appreciated by the way :)

By the way; which messaging platforms, protocols or ‘services’ are currently supported by Pidgin? I haven’t looked at it in a while.

Was the plugin open source?

Edit: looks like it wasn’t and the incident has prompted more more transparency. Good stuff.

GNOME lol!

Awesome. Massive Attack are really well-respected in the Southwest and beyond.

You are a true martyr my friend and I feel you!

Sweet! I’ve experimented with installing a few bits from gnome look but haven’t made any of my own. How difficult is it? I’ve managed to theme my favourite terminal applications though. A big part of my satisfaction is based on feeling, a large part of which is visual. Diehard instrumentalists may look down on me for it but I am unashamed and not alone.

Yeah I guess Nvidia have had to grow up pretty fast recently.

I’m at the point in my Linux journey where I have settled into a stable system, configured 99.9% how I want it. Seeing diminishing returns on effort put into tweaking it. But I just keep looking at window managers. I have people who need me in the world but I just can’t stop looking at them. I don’t know what to do.

Awesome! I’m super excited about 3.0 :D

100%

Fuck yeah! Go GIMP! Also announced on Mastodon fwiw:
