Thats super cool though, thanks for sharing, I'd not heard of that! I might try seeing if any of the cinnamon utilities work and are useful in GNOME though, just out of curiosity
God I wish the cinnamon interface was more my thing, I absolutely love the way they focus on user experience. I hope it continues to pay off for them and give linux users, both new and old, the best possible experience
Infinite jukebox has more complex looping and I think is just a website, but its super cool. I haven't used it for ages, but it may be worth checking out
I don't script so not me, but I've heard a lot of people really like it for scripting, since the language is more thoughtfully designed around that usecase. You give up some portability and ability to run them anywhere, but if you're making them just for yourself my impression is that fish can be a great choice for scripting in
Plus, like the other reply said, if you're already using fish (like me :) you may choose to script in fish since thats your chosen shell
Its always nice seeing your posts around sunshine, if you celebrate it I hope you have a lovely Christmas. If you don't, or celebrate something else, I hope your day is lovely all the same ❤️
I feel this kind of messaging is infinitely more effective in reaching new people than all the linux stuff aimed at people who made the switch comfortably 30+ years ago from a position of a fair bit of technical competence
Thanks for posting this for anyone who might have been overwhelmed at the prospect of installing a new OS altogether, but was interested and wanted to find ways to dip their toes in the water or take baby steps :)
That its a familiar operating system that people know how to use and dont need to learn how to install, and doesn't come with new challenges to figure out or the occasional issue they won't know how to resolve
For those of us who have been using linux for ages and had the technical ability to make the switch its easy to forget how daunting that can be for an average end user who just wants their computer to work when they need it to and ignore any of the finer details
I think there's value in speaking to folks who might have an interest in Foss but are intimidated to take the leap to linux outright, and remind folks they can always try new programs within the familiar environment of their existing os :)
Suprised folks are suddenly engaging with this again, did something happen thats been putting this in front of people? Radiofreefedi has sadly shut down in the last year
The indie beat is now the same kind of idea, but I haven't found as much stuff there I'm really into

Thats not because of transistor, thats because sadly radiofreefedi stopped operating sometime in the last year. The indie beat now serves the same purpose, but I've not found as much stuff I'm into there
Sadly I'm a gnome fan 🥲
