  1. OK #FediFriends, time for more #recs pls for #Linux-y stuff… 🙏 (I’m temporarily ruling out #FreeBSD, soz #Beastie fans 👿)

    what file manager do you like / prefer / use?

    I’m very not-happy with #Nautilus (a.k.a. “Files” 🙄) – I swear it used to be good maybe a decade or two ago but now it feels like a babby’s first file manger with minimal configuration options 😤 (am I thinking of a different old file manger? possibly…? 🤔)

    I’ve been toying around with different distros in VMs & find #Dolphin OK enough that I’ve installed it on my actual current-but-soon-to-be-ex #PopOS† install, but it’s from #KDE-land so doesn’t understand #GNOME light / dark mode & consistently blinds me… 🕶️

    I’m enjoying #Debian 13 KDE atm, & it seems like it will probably support the old (beast) laptop I’m using for all things Linux

    I think I found #Thunar OK when I was playing with an #XFCE install on something recently but really need to revisit it & I’m not sure that it’ll integrate well if I end up running KDE #Wayland rather than… well, XFCE 🤪 (or anything else GNOME-y)

    so frens… what do y’all recommend? 👀

    pls #boost4reach 🙏
     
     
     
    ^ FFS, stop naming stuff using actual existing words! you’re not helping anyone! 🤪

    † a.k.a. “Pop!_OS” but gosh I loathe the way they styled that distro name 🤮

  2. Turbulent times.

    It was necessary to explain that the three cookies on the baking tray are not collecting personal data.

    Postscript: reddit.com/comments/1l6atsf/re ends the turbulence. Still, I do like the idea that Tux cookies might have collected data about what's in the oven.
