      I wish they’d fix and release the nightly. It so cool looking but there are quite some bugs still. Like performance, playlists, options not working and somehow it can’t play videos from my network, while release version can all of this…

        Oh wow, they have a version that doesn’t look like it was made for XP? Sucks that it’s buggy.

      VLC is so bad, IMO. There are so many things it does really badly or doesn’t do at all that any other alternative (like MPC) does well. It doesn’t help that it’s ugly as sin, too.

        What’s with the hate on VLC? It’s done more than what I’ve ever wanted. You can also use it to download YouTube videos and stuff. It’s the bees knees, man!

      Maybe it’s just a me problem, but I always have had troubles getting KDE Connect connecting my phone to other devices than my desktop. My phone and laptop could both be connected to the same wifi and be within inches of each other but refuse to acknowledge their existence. But I have my phone on the other side of the world and I swear it’ll be able to connect to my desktop with no problem.

      KDE Connect is a pretty good program, but I can’t recommend it because of the troubles I always have.

      I’m probably dumb and wrong, but I feel like Firefox is going in a bad direction along with Ubuntu.

      Like I think in 10 years there will be a business tier paid Ubuntu OS that ships with Firefox, and after like 3 or 4 iterations, it will be the IE of the future.

      Current Firefox user. Writing is on the wall. Looking for new browser. And OS.

        I would love that future, to be honest. Currently, Chromium based browsers have no serious competition. Worst case, we can (and have already) forked Firefox (e.g. to Librewolf).

          Lynx /s
          This comment was written through Lynx. No, seriously.

          Edit: I couldn’t add the screenshot via Lynx as it seems to attempt resolving “.”:
          Post "https://./pictrs/image": dial tcp: lookup . on 8.8.8.8:53: no such host.
          But anyway:

            Oh man, that brings me back. Lynx was really important back when GPU support for Linux was less good.

            Much time was spent navigating NVIDIA Website in Lynx trying different driver versions. Then the autogenerated Xorg.conf would always be wrong. Kids these days have it so easy. Get off my lawn.

            (Seriously though, I like this strange new world where Linux is super easy to set up)

          Out of all people here to ask that question to, you chose the worst one.

          Seriously, what made you decide that what they said makes them a good person to answer any question at all?

    Somewhat self promoting for the first two of these items as I’m directly involved. Leaving out the more obvious ones (Linux distro etc.) as they will have been mentioned. I’ll stick to some of the less known things I use.

      Thanks for highlighting Pulsar.

      I always found Atom clunky, but it was instrumental in changing how editors were made, perceived, and used.

      It did not deserve the death/abandonment it got.

        Atom was my go-to editor while in school–hard to believe it’s been long enough to be abandoned already. I’m going to have to check Pulsar out.
