Yes, there's a major activation energy barrier for the first time. For example, for me moving to Linux, Oracle VirtualBox was absolutely instrumental in helping me feel more comfortable. Reddit itself was also weird at first and off-putting until I simply tried magnifying the font size; back then, we only had what-is-now-Old Reddit, which was a pain to navigate at 100% size until I got used to it. Anyway, hopefully this Bluesky development will finally break X's might, even if it's not that much better of an alternative... and then gradually grow our own numbers here on Lemmy.

NGL, I rotate among at least 4 accounts across different instances here lol. It was originally out of accident because of my misunderstanding back then of how the Fediverse works, but now I just randomly use them as a simultaneous, illusory boost to Lemmy's activity as well as my own pseudo-privacy lol. I like to think that it helps overall...

That's probably simply a more skeptical take of my own newbie perspective: the automated update systems on Linux are feeling increasingly scary since their maintainers can get hacked... I'm on Mint and I wish that the Update Manager would show changelogs per update, at least (even if those, too, can be fabricated)...

Ironically, there's actually a fair amount of fiber in coffee.

It's probably because it's Louis Rossmann against Samsung (both giants in their respective fields)...

a quick Google shows an option "Caps Lock acts as Return" in the desktop environment (DE) settings.

That's a figment. It doesn't exist. I had checked the list of possible reassignments and was furious that Enter is, like, literally the only reassignment that isn't in the list. I mean, unless something recently got added, it wasn't there a month ago. That'd be sweet if it is now...

I'm not at a PC right now but will check later, thanks.

I cannot understand this; how can a machine of any kind take so long to boot, and how did you have the patience to wait more than 5-10 min? I would've deemed it unusable by then already.

What have you tried for compatibility? I know of WINE, Bottles (which seems to have oddly disappeared from the Software Manager), etc.

Hmm, I don't remember reading about this. Anyway, glad I'm off of Windows.

$40/year for 24/7 running? Really? Hmm... I've gotta educate myself on these numbers, I suppose... Also, I have a 3080, too, lol.

What is this? I've never heard of it before...

Sorry, I'm on Cinnamon, and yeah, I've made no changed to the notif system of which I'm aware. It was just a friend's lengthy WhatsApp Web message from my browser; I think it was like a code dump or something. The icon's configuration settings don't specify the position of the visible text, as far as I know; it seems to always be set to prioritize showing the bottom of the message and clipping off the start instead of vice versa (which seems so backwards, especially for an industry leader like Cinnamon...).

I have almost no idea of what half of what you're saying is; I've heard of systemd, initd, and cron, but I don't know what exactly they are and I don't know what "shell configs" are.

I thought it was obvious that I'm running Linux Mint since I posted this in !linuxmint@programming.dev. I'm using Zena, 22.3 on kernel 7.0.0-14, which seems to be the latest one that Update Manager is showing me.

1. Create the file /home/user/another_folder/remap_caps_to_enter.sh containing the code above
2. Open Startup Applications and set it to bash the above path as a command
3. It initially works, but then after a few min, it reverts to native Caps Lock behavior. Manually rerunning the file again makes it work for the rest of the session until I shut down the PC.

Wait... that's what he was called?!
