Windows bad, in the next few days I think I will be replacing it on my laptop.
The question is, do I throw myself into the deep end with arch or avoid stressing myself out and go with something easier.
@Co I'm just hoping it isn't as difficult as everyone makes it out to be
@miria @Co Since you constantly complain about guis, which one is the least bad since I am aware that arch doesn't ship with one
@miria @Co well, I guess the correct word is desktop enviroments?
@miria @Co I didn't like kde on debian so I will have to try xfce
@Co @Chizu dwm is the best software ever written, but she asked for a DE.
@miria @Co i asked for whatever gui solution thing is equivalent to what i use now
@Chizu @Co Windows has been copying Plasma for a while now so yeah that. Also it's one of the few desktop environments to have thumbnails in the file picker.
@KayFaraday @Co @Chizu Xfce uses GTK. This is a feature missing in GTK. Show screenshot.
@KayFaraday @Co @Chizu It literally doesn't have thumbnails lmao. You have to select each file one by one to see a preview on the right. I mean you can see thumbnails for all the files at the same time. Mac has had this since like 2001.
@KayFaraday @Co @Chizu That is impossible to see. You're probably so used to GTK you don't even know this feature exists.

@miria @Co @Chizu stop moving the goalposts

i agree that they're small but on a regular file browser window the size is adjustable

@KayFaraday @Co @Chizu That's a file browser. That's not the file picker. No one's moving the goalposts. If anything you're moving the goalposts bringing the file explorer now when I explicitly said FILE PICKER.
Show newer

@miria @Chizu ngl that makes me think of Apple being "innovative" meanwhile android having added the feature years ago

@miria @Co you're making this sound like a real downgrade over windows if that has to be an advertised feature
@Chizu @Co Yeah GTK literally doesn't have thumbnails in the file picker, and that feature was requested like almost 20 years ago.

@miria @Chizu honestly I have not messed with alot of DE
