From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So this is a "don't move my cheese" post?
I understand the need the vent from time to time, but most people have/create blogs for such things. Maybe it's just time to look for another xmpp client.
Do you not think rants belong here? What about linking to a rant on a blog?
There aren't really any good clients for XMPP unfortunately. I'm just moving away to Matrix (ironically the one I avoided because it didn't have good clients when I looked into IMs).
Movim is a very full featured client that supports group voice and video calls with screensharing, and it's about to get discord-like spaces in a week or two.
Otherwise there's Dino and Dinox.
I'll look into Movim, thanks!
Hope it works well for ya! Also should mention that if you want to screenshare an application's audio, you have to be using a Chromium based browser currently, due to it still being pretty new.
Dino is good.
I'm not going to your blog 🙂
I'm usually not a ranting person. But it does happen from time to time. 😉
It's nothing to do with length. I just don't make a habit of visiting any particular website to read it. That's what the threadiverse is for.
Alternatively: that's what RSS is for.
RSS was killed by greed. Too many companies pumping out too much SEO garbage that I don't care about, and not providing anything more than a headline in return. The threadiverse produces a curated feed of articles that are boosted up and down by the community. That's why I'm here.
This place is pretty depressing you should branch out. I rank you guys like 18th out of places I can Hamas-post.
No, a lot of previously good tools got entirely unusable (like, buttons/tabs not working) outside Gnome with the move to gtk4. Granted, most of them Gnome tools. While not-Gnome tools generally work, but look out of place by not folllowing any user settings.
And also the brain-worm of "simplified" (useless) settings menu.
