Pimp up your Terminal with Guake and Yakuake If you're wondering whether Guake and Yakuake are Polynesian happy mushrooms, you're a bit off mark. These are Linux command line terminals, modified to behave like the console in the popular First Person Shooter (FPS) Quake. Hence, the funny names. Guake and Yakuake are good-looking and fun - and most importantly - they will help you increase your productivity. So start using them, today. Happy Linuxing.

i still use yakuake now the reason it is so good is that it just re-uses the kde term emulator component. so it is the best term emu inside of a more useful UI on a laptop

pram posted:Windowmaker unironically and ironically owns WindowMaker was my wm in the noughts but Gnome was OK enough to use in the past few years. I'm getting used to Gnome 3 but it's the same attitude I took with Windows 8 - might as well get used to it now, even though the old mechanism is much better. I'd use WindowMaker more but I need that networkmanager and volume manager integration or else I have to figure out how to do it in the command line and I don't want to touch command line networkmanager until I'm good and ready.

Does anyone else think that the new debian "resolvconf" thing is a bunch of steaming crap? How do you ask it what its current configuration is? I'd be OK with systemd booting it to the curb.

Soricidus posted:oh, is there a cli now? last I checked it was basically GUI only with the response to people who wanted cli being " just use dbus, don't ask us how just rtfm" and then you try to rtfm and whoops it just refers you a web page that's literally useless because the only reason you'd ever want to look at it would be if you couldn't access web pages they have fixed up the cli extensively unfortunately it still provides no way to provide "secrets" so you either have to use a kde/gnome app, or write all your wpa keys/usernames/passwords into config files

Lysidas posted:same but windows The start bar, much like the mcrib, is back. With a few changes, of course. Maybe windows 11 will kill it again and replace it with the start screen and windows 12 will bring it back, but with yet another twist, like having it appear on a nearby surface with AR and you have to select your application by pointing at your desk instead of just using the mouse and keyboard like the good old days. And Gnome will continue to pander to touch screens in 2016 even though the only linux based computers with touchscreens at that time would be smartphones and android tablets.

Do you remember when bluetooth headsets first came out and people seemed to be yelling at no one in particular and you thought they were crazy? Imagine what the office is gonna look like in 2020 when you need to point to an error in a document but you're looking at the document in google glass or that microsoft thing and you don't have the integration set-up working with your co-worker and the two of you are pointing everywhere in mid-air trying to fix settings and a third party is just "smdh why is everyone crazy" I guess in google glass you just point your pupils every which way and tap your head, which may or may not be worse, I dunno.

if you want to get persnickety about it, kde predates gnome by a considerable measure gnome chose to (poorly) duplicate some of the services provided by kde

Offices are hell. this design reminds you of that. It encourages you to leave. Go outside. Remain. mlg3 (much like gnome 3).
