OneUI

Just got a new Samsung S25 recently and I'm absolutely astonished just how good, customisable, and polished OneUI 8 is. Can't wait for the 8.5 update

What's your favorite DE, and what does your workflow look like?

After trying out Cosmic, Gnome,KDE Plasma, and Hyprland, I feel like plasma is the most usable for me coming from Windows. It solves the gripes I had about lack of customizability while still starting me off with a familiar homebar. I will be going back and forth with gnome for a while. ...

I've jumped over the years, Gnome, Cinnamon, KDE, XFCE, Unity, AwesomeWM, QTile, XMonad, Hyprland.

For the last couple of years I've completely settled on KDE for my Desktop, and Gnome on my Laptops.

I love the customisability of KDE and being able to turn it into whatever the hell I want lol. But Gnomes gestures on a laptop are unmatched in the Linux space imo, and finally at a point that I firmly believe Gnome gestures are now on par with MacOS gestures.

Lol dw, you won't get shot here for using your hardware how you intend to use it... Why would anyone get mad about that??

Well if you don't use your trackpad then obviously Gnome gestures won't be a big point for you. I never really used to either back when I used tiling Window managers, I solely relied on a purely keyboard driven workflow, until I got a new job and they use MacBook Pros as our work laptops, there I got super into the trackpad gestures. For example, three finger swipe left or right to change workspace, three finger swipe up for an application/workspace overview.

TIL that in DuckDuckGo !g in front of your previous search will run it in Google

So til that if you use DuckDuckGo search engine, and you're not happy with the result and want to run the previous search through Google, instead of copying your search, then heading to Google, then pasting your previous search, you can just add !g to front of your search in DuckDuckGo and that will auto direct you to Google and ...

Its amazing, I work in the IT industry, I love exploring different areas of tech, but the concept of bangs in a search engine has never come up haha. I've seen not ever really used them in a terminal when forgetting to run a command as sudo

Keshara OP , 11 months ago

I hear you, but sometimes when I'm working I want 2 things when trying to solve a problem quickly; 1. Accurate results, and 2. Speed and performance.

So while I do use SP on occasion, I find that sometimes for me it can take a while to load the results and just generally get a bit laggy. This can really start to annoy me over the course of a day, it's those moments when I just bite the bullet and go to Google directly if DuckDuckGo isn't giving me what I need

The dictionary bang is 100% something I'll be using quite often moving forward

Keshara OP , 11 months ago

I really need to try this out at some point. Just been too lazy to give it a shot

Keshara OP , 11 months ago

Have the search results on Brave Search improved? I tried it a few months after they launched it and found the results terrible

Driving shoe recommendations?

What driving shoes do you recommend? ...

Keshara , 11 months ago

Vans, comfortable basic shoes that go with any outfit, and the flat bottom makes it super easy for heel-toe

I'm not sure sorry

Yeah there's an option somewhere there for it. That's what I'm using for Icons-Only on the top bar. My dock is static (in regards to showing apps)

Am I a bad friend/rude for not engaging with my friends and giving one-word responses?

I’m (19F by the way, not like 50) a bad texter. I can be not dry when I want to be, but usually I’m just not up for texting. I really don’t engage with my friends. (I’m asocial). ...

Sounds like depression to me. Tired and bored all the time are quite classic signs of it. Maybe try and seek some help while you are still young? Before letting it manifest into something bigger

Keshara , 11 months ago

How are you treating it? And if not you should start. Don't let it grow now

I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this?

Don't suggest hobbies or human contact. It's been suggested and it doesn't work. ...

Keshara , 11 months ago

I feel you, I get like this sometimes as well, it's what we call "getting in a rut". When I become self-aware of the situation, I just treat myself to something, could be a new keyboard, or PC part, or maybe it's just going out with friends for a few drinks.

This tends to at least put me on the path to climbing my way back out of it

I've just started on Lemmy very recently, but I've been trying out different Android Lemmy clients. I'm currently on 'Voyager for Lemmy' which I installed from F-Droid, and personally this has been my best experience yet

Yeah, the US is definitely off my list for now.

NZ I honestly don't have much interest in visiting either. Thanks for the suggestions though!

Keshara OP , 1 year ago

I was looking at this! I would actually also love to visit Estonia one day too, I heard they are very progressive with LGBTQ+ rights, at least around Tallin

Keshara OP , 1 year ago

Yeah I would just feel like I'm going to work in Singapore haha. Japan I think would be a great option!

Keshara OP , 1 year ago

Thanks for the recommendation! Canada is very high on my list, seems like such a beautiful country with beautiful people

Keshara OP , 1 year ago

Yeah I think Bangkok is the obvious pick, and probably my fallback option if I can decide on anywhere else

Keshara OP , 1 year ago

I'll definitely have to look into Norway a bit more! Thankyou

While I would absolutely love to visit South Africa one day, I don't think I would be confident at all to visit en-femme

Thanks for the heads up on this one. Just took a look at installed apps through the settings menu, and yep, there it is.. Uninstalled!
