🐞 21-year-old Polish Woman Fixed a 20-year-old Linux Bug!

｢ She wasn't hunting for bugs. She was doing something mundane; preparing lecture slides for a course she teaches as a graduate student. She had a couple of PDFs typeset in LaTeX, opened one of them in Atril, a document viewer, and her entire desktop froze ｣

Kotka to Derry, the Finnish leg of European route E16 has been approved.

The European motorway will stretch across five countries.

The route begins in Derry, Northern Ireland, going to Belfast before connecting to Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland.

It then picks up in Bergen, Norway, crossing to Gävle on Sweden’s east coast.

The new stretch will be from Rauma on Finland’s west coast to Kotka in the southeast.

Schöner (!) Mist, der mir da passiert ist: Mein neuer #Fahrradreifen hat nicht vom #Fahrradladen bis nach Hause gehalten. #mdrnh
Vielleicht war die Strecke einfach zu lang?

War nicht der beste Reifen für meinen Road'n Gravel-Trip, aber sehr bereichert trickse ich nun und fahre mit dem Zug nach Hause.

Bin mit dem Rad super super zufrieden: #faracycling #allroad

Reisefazit:

1. Irgend etwas machen die Norweger anders. 99% überholen SOWAS von anständig und sind an Kreuzungen DERMASSEN Rücksichtsvoll mit ihren Blechdosen. Si fein das zu sehen und so krass der Kontrast: Fährt (zurück in D) ein #Vorstadtpanzer aus einem asphaltierten Feldweg über den Radweg auf die Landstraße. Er MUSS mich sehen, weil das Abendlicht strahlt mich an. Ich halt flott im Sportmodus und dann Vollbremsung. "Entschuldigung, ich habe Sie nicht gesehen" Nein. Er hat nicht (richtig) geschaut!
Ich wünsche uns allen so entspanntes und sicheres Fahren, wie ich es in Norwegen (zur Nebensaison) kennengelernt habe!!!

2. Alte #Fahrradwege hingegen gehen in N _garnicht_ häufige Seitenwechsel über Brücken oder durch Unterführungen mit steilen Rampen und engen rechten Winkeln. Dazu jede Menge Rollsplitt vom Winter. Neue Radwege (teils sehr viele) werden sehr großzügig und schlau angelegt - zumindest wo gut möglich oder viel Radtraffic geerntet werden kann.

3. Nachmachen! Und 10 Wochen mehr einplanen, um hier und da ne Woche bleiben zu können ;)

4. Es regnet nicht immer, in N.

5. Gesperrte Bergstraßen (wegen Winter) werden in der Regel auf den 1. Mai hin freigegeben. So z.B. das Sträßchen durch den #jotunheimen #Nationalpark. ...konnte ich leider nicht befahren. Infos dazu gibt es hier: https://www.vegvesen.no/trafikk/kart#/tra/NPRA_HBT_27-04-2025.74894?lat=61.56484&lng=7.98247&zoom=8&layer=fer,tra,ctv,tfl

6. Die Tage sind laaaaang! Früher Sonnenaufgang, später Sonnenuntergang, dazu eine eeeeewig lange Dämmerung.

#Enlightenment reaches 0.27, continuing its quiet but persistent journey
An elder returns, for those still seeking it
Enlightenment is one of the granddaddies of #Linux #desktops, and after a couple of years, has a shiny new release.
First release was way back in 1997, Development Release 16 appeared in 1999, followed by a 13yr hiatus. That version, known as 0.16 or #DR16, is still maintained: it's now called #E16, and version 1.0.30 was released on August 10, 2024.

The best one-man distro ever made!

@thelinuxexperiment Fantastic! By far, the best style of video you've ever put out. I love reviews of stuff that offer advice in the way of; "here's a thing, a really good thing, but it might not be what you need/want". People need to use what works for their needs. But at the same time, you'll never know if something may be better for you unless you go play with it.

I've played around with almost every window management concept available for the past 20 years, they all have their place. In doing so, I've found that tiling in general is redundant to proper exploitation of virtual desktop capabilities, and hotkey configuration. For example, in #e16, I have multiple "desks", which are separate virtual desktops, and a 2x3 set of "areas" in each one which act more like what are commonly known as "virtual desktops". When I open a new program, I first place it on the desk and area I want it, then open a wm dialog for that window which allows me to select what I want the wm to remember for that program, such as location/size/border/opacity/etc. Now, every time I open that program, the wm places its window where I told it to remember. I've also set a few hotkeys for throwing windows to an adjacent area, or the same area on an adjacent desk, and ones for maximizing (full/horizontal/vertical) using only the available space. Using these methods gives me all the benefit I want from a tiling window manager combined with features of one that doesn't, all packed into a very small resource footprint.

And the bit where you mention grabbing and moving/resizing windows with mouse+key is one I would say is a tough contender with highlight-middleClick for the spot of best feature in any gui environment.

I think one of the most transfem things you can do on a computer is running E on Arch Linux and playing Celeste while building a Rust project.

@imgel I wouldn't consider #e16 a DE (still count?); but using that, I prefer having a frame-only window decoration. I use a simple #xdotool line in my #conkyrc to display the currently focused window.

${exec 'xdotool getactivewindow getwindowname'}

I've also used a combination of xdotool, randr, and eesh in the past to do tiling and arrangement.

@itsfoss @admitsWrongIfProven This is quite a common theme when you hear talk of #linux window managers. It seems to always be the same list of the same few, most of which are far less "easy" than advertised. Rarely do you see a mention of any #blackbox clone, and my favorite, e16, never even makes the long list.

I suspect it never makes the cut for #windowmanager reviews because of its lack of focus on #tiling. However, I believe #e16 is easily a formidable condender. It comes with very simple to read and configure keybind, menu, and window matching systems. The keybinds are in a single flat file, as are the menus which can also be called by filename for submenus. Because of the simplicity of just passing an executable, keybinds and menu items can do anything that can be done via command from a terminal. Unlike nearly all of the popular #WM flavours out there, e16 comes equipped with its own compositor, systray, and background manager. Best of all, its completely functional upon install without any preconfiguration needed.

@CommodoreSpence yeahyeah... The days where #e16 was the wm x))) what a time

#Bærum #E16 Politiet har kontroll på fører av en bil som har kjørt i motgående felt på E16. Vitneopplysninger tilsier at det har vært flere nestenulykker.

Aiai! Denne lastebilsjåføren må ha glemt å ta inn krana før han suste av sted og rev ned gangbrua. Hen har hatt griseflaks som ikke tok livet av fotgjengere på brua...
