That's harder when playing plinky plonk though.

That's because it hasn't been socilited yet. Presumably.

Obviously, we should stop people from sleeping outside by adding pikes everywhere. That's how you solve the problem!

It's always been for USeR binaries. It's the first time I've seen this bizarre backronym (40 years of Unix here).

I don't think he thought that one through.

Oh well, maybe next time. Or not.

Commercial software compatibility has always been poor. It's a classic way of locking users in.

A lot of people (regardless of age) have a very fuzzy idea (if at all) of what a file or a directory is. They wouldn't know a operating system if it sat on their face.

The only way to get them to use Linux is to switch the system on their computers. And they'll probably manage just fine(after a bit of initial grumpiness), since most interfaces are pretty much the same anyway.

But they're never going to change on their own.

They're in Linux now, it should show the shortcuts they'll encounter everywhere. Not leftovers from another system.

But it's got blockchain!

(does that actually still get any vc excited nowadays?)

It's called quaffing and all the cool kids are doing it!

It's not that simplle or user friendly when none of the usual shortcuts work. C-a did something completely unexpected.

The first time I found myself in nano was when testing a distro fifteenor twenty years ago. I had to edit some files and it was the only available editor. The damn thing was a horror to use. I still have no idea who it caters to. I haven't had to use it since though.

 

Plasma 6 changed the way scrollbars work for some reason. Now when you click somewhere with mouse1 the elevator jums there and the window content scrolls accordingly.

Previously, it would scroll by one window's worth in the appropriate direction. If you wanted to jump to a given location, you just used mouse2 (typically the scroll wheel button nowadays). It has worked that way everywhere for literally decades.

After reading the very weird explanation for the change, I can only conclude that the devs don't even know how to use their interface.

Hence my question, is there a setting somewhere to switch back to the traditional behaviour?
