Looks clean man.
I wonder if the drop down terminal bug ever got fixed. I liked having it when I used Gnome, but it would flake out sometimes.
Couldn’t tell you, it doesn’t look like an option in the default terminal.
I think the dropdown terminal was an extension
Yea, I think you’re right.
Gotcha, I found it but I get the red Error box when trying to installing it. So at least it’s not flaky any more. 
Ahh yeah i forgot about that. Upgrading gnome could break some extensions. If you used a lot of extensions, even point updates would break something.
Herding cats
Eventually you learn to find it charming
Or you buy a mac.
I read the that the Gnome devs refuse to provide a stable API for extensions to use because extensions touch all sorts of things so it would be too much work and would limit/slow development. Can’t blame them really.
Or buy a Mac.
I have to say, it’s been painless since I got one.
Mucking around on Linux got pretty unhealthy for me. I would become obsessed with every detail. I have a screw loose somewhere.
Yeah right. Makes sense.
Probably why Zorin OS https://zorin.com, takes it’s time on upgrading to the latest Ubuntu. It’s basically Ubuntu with a bunch of extentions
I think it tends toward that by default. Lots of fragmentation, buggy things, things done in strange ways, lackings in documention, lots of people flying by the seat of their pants in helping each other out with problems. For me anymore it’s mostly just a way not to use Windows with all the privacy issues. Definitely lots of things that I would like to see improve on the Linux desktop. Mac looks nice but in a walled-garden sort of way from my perspective. I see it how I saw Reason. Most things were there ready to roll, trouble-free, and it looked nice. But Propellerhead were too invasive with their policies.
If I ever do Linux again, I will hold of upgrading anything. If everything is working, just leave it. Don’t even look at it funny.
Yeah I get worried about doing tunes in Logic. If my Mac went belly up, I’d be stuffed. I’m back in Reaperville. Don’t miss the shiny bells and whistles
A while back my laptop was running like total ass, getting hot, etc. I backed up current files and did a clean install and all was well again. I had tinkered quite a bit with power settings for occasionally plugging in an interface and recording and seemingly something happened in an innocent update that wasn’t agreeable with my settings. Yea, I should probably leave things alone too. I think it’s probably good to have two linux computers if you’re going to do it. One to tinker with anything and everything, and one to mostly leave alone.
I’m feeling like the odd man out here since I’m still running Win 10. 
Still running it on this gaming rig I built nearly 10 years ago. But for me, anymore my computer is kind of like the old morning newspaper. I get on here in the morning, read a few things while drinking coffee then shut it down and pretty much do everything I need for the rest of the day on my iPad.
My iPad is pretty much my go to device anymore and once my desktop dies, I doubt that I’ll replace it.
Seen anything promising on this front? I’m running Lineage OS, but not without issues.
And I remember seeing somewhere that google was aiming to leave the java virtual machine behind before too much longer, but I forget where I read it.
Nada aside from the new Pinephone Pro release, don’t know anything about the software side. Ubuntu Touch (ubports) is apparently good to go on a handful of handsets but I’m content being degoogled at the mo.
What LineageOS issues have you come across aside from the map address thing?
The googlething is Fuchsia, it can die in a hot fire as far as I’m concerned.
Notification issues and hating the organization of the AOSP/Android 12 interface (Lineage OS 19.1). That’s really about it. Still very worth running it to me.
My concern with google moving on to a new os is the future of aosp and therefore Lineage OS.
An app has to implement an activity with a permanent notification in the notification list to get around not using google push notifications and having the app not be sent to sleep. With Signal or Fairmail, for example, you can see it. Here’s what’s said about it in their FAQ:
The service is a foreground service and is needed to prevent Android from stopping the service when the device is sleeping (doze mode).
Most, if not all, other email apps don’t show a notification with as “side effect” that new messages are often not or late being reported and that messages are not or late being sent.
Yeah, google will drop Android’s Java dependency like a Cockos forum when their own thing is ready. They won the court case re copying Oracle APIs so are good to go with reimplementing everything if they haven’t already.
Notification issues I’m having is with any SMS/MMS messengers I have tried so far (including the stock one). It may be an issue with other apps too, but I don’t care about those. So this is a result of not running gapps?
Going to try and work out some sort of terminal youtube player / playlister script I think. Essentially:
copy / paste url from youtube
play stream
optionally download stream to an existing or new folder while playing and edit file name
add new folders to a list
play contents of listed folders as desired
But… ffplay not available for Termux, nor mplayer, only termux-media-player so far.
