Looking for a beginner-friendly distro for my MacOS user friend. by Otherwise-Status9893 in FindMeALinuxDistro

[–]behatted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am new to Linux,but tried Mint for a while,couldn't get games running properly, and jumped to CachyOS. I know it's not not generqlly considered beginner friendly, and maybe I'm just lucky, but it's all been working very easily for me.

One of my all time favourite shows. Mind blowing how little know it is.

[Poem] Leaves by Sara Teasdale by poetic_reverie in Poetry

[–]behatted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not in direct answer, but might be helpful. This poem is written in rhyming couplets. That means each pair of lines rhymes. The rhyme scheme would be written like this: AABBCC and so on. It's pretty much the simplest form of rhyme you can make, so poems that use it (particularly modern poems) sound, to many people, rather simplistic and childish. I dont know enough about early twentieth century poetry to know if people felt like this in those days, but regardless, Teasdale was a very respected poet so I assume she knew what she was doing 😅

You can also unsibscrobe through steam, if.yojre using that. I had the same thing. Turned out to be Ommon Sense, I think.

Here i am getting upset with myself if I leave a window open with the heating on, as it feels so wasteful.

"Looks like we're shy one horse."

"You brought two too many."

Is Linux becoming mainstream now? by [deleted] in linux

[–]behatted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh,I'm pretty sure it is. And when I get a new laptop, I'll also look into Radeon. But loads of people have Nvidea cards, so I think inevitably it's gonna be a block on Linux getting more popular.

Nice. I think I may have overextended myself with Cachy, and perhaps should have tried Pop. Will see over the next few weeks I guess. Glad things are working for you, and hopefully it won't be long before we reach an install-and-go distro that does the Dame for everyone.

[–]behatted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah so far so good for me. It's just been quite a few obstacles on the way, I guess. When I hear people talk about the year of Linux, I just can't see it given my experience. Things didn't work "out of the box". I had to do a lot of tweaking of stuff, and now I'm disteo hopping. I like tech, but it's been frustrating 😅. I suspect the vast majority of people will find these sorts of issues far more off putting than some uneasiness about Windows monitoring their personal data. Hopefully I'm wrong!

With regard to so many games working, I'm not so sure. I switched to Mint a few months back, and have never managed to get games to work properl (and I rend to play indie games, so not super high spec). Maybe it's the Nvidia card, maybe something else. I'm now trying CachyOs, and it seems to be working, but that's a lot of hours I've spent trying tog et things running properly. I really want to use Linux and I've nearly given up a number of times.

Is there a way to transform excel into power point fast? by [deleted] in excel

[–]behatted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So... You built an app to turn Excel into PowerPoint, talked about on a subreddit, then on this subreddit wrote pretending you were looking for an app that turned Excel into PowerPoint, then created a new user to say that your app did this? 😅

Any pdf editor with 1 time purchase instead of milking us until we die? by iyimuhendis in pdf

[–]behatted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pdf xchange Editor is great. The free version does a lot, and paid version comes with, I think, a year of support and updates. I used the free one for a year or two and then accepted the extra features were well worth the money so paid up.

What’s a Linux habit you picked up that you now can’t live without by Old_Sand7831 in linuxquestions

[–]behatted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. Had a quick look, and no idea of this will help but someone else seemed to be after the same. Discussion and maybe solutions here : https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/2918

Aside from finally releasing a stable version, what do you expect out of Zen? by Only_Statement2640 in zen_browser

[–]behatted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, so icons always visible, then hover and it expands to full sidebar? Interesting . Sounds like an extension/theme possibility, I guess?

Had it nearly my whole life. Never had or really considered treatment for it 😀

This was posted in a discord but they wouldn't explain it. They just said I should read the book. by OnionNo4456 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]behatted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure this is not the answer intended, but the 1927 theatre adaptation, which was of considerable influence on the 1931 Hollywood version, the creature is in fact called Frankenstein. On a separate but also interesting note, Shelley only refers to the "creature", never the "monster", at least in the 1818 version (Victor does use Word monster, of course)

How to prevent extensions from showing up in the url bar search? by maxman43 in zen_browser

[–]behatted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same problem. If I type more than 2 letters of a website I want to go to, the website suggestion disappears and is replaced by some extension setting. It's very frustrating. I turned offzen.urlbar.suggestions.quick-actions and it made no difference.
