From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hasn't been released fully yet by the developer but looks interesting.

Edit: Video says repo is on its way

You should see here my setup with GNOME extensions. They are popular, most maintained, and easily developed (netspeed, colour picker et al) in case GNOME version change puts them out of commission. KDE on Debian felt like a joke in terms of productivity compared to this, and Windows 10 debloated manages to compete well, since its context menu is easier to work with third party programs, and Explorer has FFmpeg baked into it allowing to sort images, audio and video files by any metadata criteria. (I need to use TC with plugins in WINE on Linux for this.)

Why'd you have to use TC? KDEs dolphin can do all that natively.

Personally, configuring KDE was much simpler and more robust compared to the dozen addons I needed for Gnome, which also broke every now and then after updates.

KDE is fucking vomit. I do not want one zillion dependencies for Dolphin along with its buggy garbage Baloo. KDE Connect atleast has GSConnect for GNOME with limited dependencies making it tolerable. I tried what you said last year, and it did not work.

I want to be able to sort videos by bitrate, for example, something which I can do natively in Windows Explorer, or use TC Extended under WINE. Only solution that worked, and I hoard data, and am a Windows-Linux dual user. (https://lemmy.ml/post/511377 This will give you an idea of my experience.)
