I always install thunar into my gnome.

Not trying to victim blame but your org was kind of asking for it here. I hope someone above takes responsibility for the situation they put you in.

Gitlab pipelines are super nice to use and integrate nicely with merge requests.

I like the Github UI, clean and simple, but down like what comes along with it…

Interested in self hosting forejo but I’m mostly coding at work these days.

Can highly recommend tldr as a companion to man!

I do -azP for compression

Tilix is great but also unmaintained.

Gnome Files with Thunar.

It’s the perfect file manager for a user like me.

I also started with Hoary Hedgehog!

I remember getting the pressed CDs in the mail for free. It was my first installed distribution but I remember messing around with a Slax Live CD before.

The only thing I really miss is CAD software for working with BREPs, I wish there was Rhino for Linux. However, I can do like 99% of projects in OpenSCAD.

Remmina is a treasure

GNOME. Love the simplicity!

Always ran xfce on my old used thinkpads!

I have to use macOS at work and I sorely miss the efficiency and simplicity of gnome.

I’ve spent a lot of time configuring and tweaking various DEs in the last 20 years, but somehow gnome shell nailed it for me.

Happy to have many options as a Linux user!

It’s very minimalist and the project ditched the Windows-style approach some years ago. Personally, I’ve grown to love it and other DEs feel bloated now.

To each their own 🤷‍♂️

I was gonna say, I don’t like to victim blame but why would people be grubbing around these days to begin with?

My company only requires that I run their AV agent (bit defender).

Microsoft Teams is even flakier than on Windows (yes, it’s possible…)

I was in those masses. They sent me a free CD in the mail when I was a teenager!

Sometimes I use Drawing for adding some annotations but I mostly just paste directly from the screenshot tool.

In terms of editing, I work more with SVG where I use a very simple editor BoxySVG.

Yea, none of those things matter to me.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had plenty of fun customizing DEs but I don’t really need that on my daily driver. I also have more of a terminal based workflow so perhaps shell customization scratches that itch for me.

To each their own :)

One man’s “basic” things are another man’s clutter …
