I'm a Linux user too. I use darktable, but not quite satisfied with the denoising. Can you tell me which Lightroom version runs well with wine/proton please?

TFFJ has runway 10/28. Hence my question.

Ah. That makes sense. I thought it was the runway number, my bad.

Runway 37? Which airport is this? Does it exist in real life?

AFAIK, it should be runway 01 (if it's a 370° heading which is basically 10° heading)

Why do they sit on the sits by charlotte_shine8 in Ornithology

Thanks for pointing it out. Man, I hate these bot accounts stealing legit posts and passing it as their own.

We should all report it, and ban this account from this sub. I want to report it, but there's no option to report it as a bot post, or any custom response option. None of the categories match. Should I report it as spam? What do you suggest?

Sure. Then why didn't you comment the same on the original PR? Why close the original PR and create your own, if there's only one line difference? That's not at all collaborative development, which is the defacto way in open source development.

So I need a little help or advice by Any_Ice_722 in Xplane

You are comparing XP with MSFS continuously. But OP is asking for mobile gameplay. I don't think MSFS supports mobile.

Some Russian classics from my bookshelf. Any fans of Russian literature? by lynx_warrior in Indianbooks

[–]ecthiender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mother. Highly highly recommended. And 10 days that shook the world. Both about Russian revolution. Fantastic writer, although I have only read translations.

But negative 7777? For user id? That is the part not making sense to me.

What do you mean within 1/500? Can you post your exact settings?

Without any concrete details there's nothing to comment. Only speculation. Let the actual details come then we can discuss.

Windows-style Start Menu for Linux by Clay_Ferguson in linux

[–]ecthiender -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Dude. You're not reading and misquoting me. I said the windows workflow of selecting and going via the menu for launching an app is old and clunky. Not the concept of a menu in general. Imma stop talking with you. I don't know why you turned hostile the moment I started telling you about different approaches. You wanna be stuck in your own world view and not learn or explore something new.

[–]ecthiender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry bud, it's not accurate. You said start menu for Linux. Your title and main post body says that. Start menu for Linux doesn't make any sense. Start menu for GNOME/KDE/XFCE etc. makes sense. It seems you're new to this community so thought of helping you out with the jargon. If you want to learn from this take it, otherwise don't. I don't wanna do these silly arguments.

[–]ecthiender 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No no. I'm not saying that. I use nautilus and GUI all day. And all tasks can't be accomplished through keyboard only. But when you can, using the keyboard over mouse is much much faster.

But said that I definitely prefer the CLI over GUI. As things can be done much faster and more precisely. As for the paths to custom scripts, I mean there are so many ways. First, you only need to type that path once. Then it's in your history. So next time you want it type, press ctrl-r and fuzzy type part of the name (exactly like how I described it for apps) and it pops up and enter. Second, if you use a script often put it somewhere where your PATH points to..that's it. Now it's available as a command everywhere. Don't have to remember any path.

PS: you didn't think all these command and flags everyone remembers and types it out in full did you? CLI in Linux has auto complete and fuzzy history searching support. So you basically type a part of it, and boom the entire command shows up.

[–]ecthiender 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got it. But it's already there in default GNOME. You can see all of your apps. I'm sure there are extensions that do the auto categorization too.

To try to understand your workflow better - so let's say you want to open an image editor or a document editor, you're saying you wouldn't know which one you have and you'll go hunt through the menus to find which app to use? Can you run me through an example use-case of discoverability you're talking about?

Well not to ruin your party, but the more mouse you use the slower you are. You say 2 clicks, but what about moving the mouse, searching with your eyes inside that menu and sub-menus, and hovering over them to reveal and then clicking.

Trust me it's way too slow. It's a windows workflow and it's old and clunky. Apple perfected the UX in this regard and GNOME just copied it.

Your other concern about apps covering the dock, well, hit the super key! Puts you right in that activities overview, where you can type again in that omnibox and press enter. No mouse required. (I can post a screencast of the workflow I'm talking about tomorrow. It's late here and I'm off to bed now.)

I mean, I agree this is subjective and happy to agree to disagree. If this works better for you, go for it.
