AFAIK the syntax seems to be the same.

def sayHam():
    print("Ham")

sayHam()

works when typed into the Python console, no class needed. I program as a hobby, I’m no expert on the language, but does Python even differentiate between functions and class methods internally? Other than just scope? There’s a possibility I’ll learn something today.

I said that’s the reason Manjaro exists, not that it’s any good at it.

Nobody has answered me what Zorin is for.

For those who are a 4 or 5 on this diagram: What are your dreams like?

What it would look like is a badly themed badly optimized front end that isn’t in the App store, was recently removed from the Play store, with a rape awful name like CLIT or CL Isn’t Tinder or LibreMeetCute and a nonsense icon. It would rapidly become recognized as the engine used by the huge number of extremely sketchy personals sites that popped up all of a sudden that contain only virtual prostitutes. It would also be the engine that powers Truth Romance. It would have the worst Github issues page in human history.

Why does Zorin exist?

Linux Mint exists to be defuckulated Ubuntu, and to show off the Cinnamon desktop which is defuckulated Gnome.

Neon is KDE’s in-house distro, because I guess they get to have one even if it is functionally identical to Kubuntu.

Manjaro is Arch that’s ready to go out of the box.

What is Zorin for? Do they develop any software, or do they charge money for re-themed Ubuntu Gnome?

The number of steps on the side of the peel and the sides of the fruit don’t match, and why would the concave sections for the pit be on the convex sides of the fruit? Unless these are a bunch of individual square pieces that were pulled out individually and then lined up, so the part around the pit “collapsed” to the table, but the tops of the domed part are oriented wrong…it’s some kinda bullshit.

Or is that a stool?

The /// parts are carrying a lot of weight in this one.

My experience with LibreOffice is it works fine if you’re doing straightforward things by yourself. MLA formatted essay? “Twelve point double-spaced Times New Roman or you get a zero” and they never noticed my papers were Liberation Sans? Sure that works. “Pick a partner and make a 20 slide PowerPoint presentation” is a nightmare because sharing files back and forth between Powerpoint and Impress doesn’t work very well.

The more usable solution to that is Google Docs. I had a group project with four other guys, and we were all sat around a table typing in the same document at the same time on three different operating systems. Played perfectly well with Windows, Mac and Linux. Us Linux nerds who hate “the cloud” because “someone else’s computer” and Google because “Don’t Be Evil” kind of lurch at that one, but it functions.

Question: What?

I mean I can understand it. What do kids have these days? Arcades died, malls died, “why won’t kids play outside?” the outside old people built

I mean.

38 year old here:

I’m gonna give it to the zoomers for coming up with some solid slang with Rizz.

People want to be ignorant about computers, they try really hard.

I’m especially talking about smaller utility programs, like a USB stick formatter. If Gnome even has one of their own, it’ll be an empty window with a single button in the top bar that says “Format Drive.” There will be no choice or indication as to the name, the format, or perhaps even which drive to format. Turns out it will always do the removable drive that was mounted first chronologically. What the pity fuck do you mean you want to format a USB drive while your external backup HDD is attached? Who could ever want to do that? Oh and it’ll be carefully designed to be unusable if you use any theme but light Adwaita. If you want to do something specific, open the terminal and use dd.

KDE’s USB stick formatter will include several different wiping algorithms, you can key in a custom string to fill the empty drive space with with unicode support, settings for physical disks and solid state memory, the weird features of SD cards, it’ll support formats only used by Sun Solaris and OS/2, you can specify a maximum write speed, and it’s got a full set of drive encryption tools built in. All of this is perfectly themeable, but the UI elements are crammed a little too dense and not quite lined up right so it has a little bit of amateurish Windows 98 jank to it.

Cinnamon’s USB stick formatter will be somewhere in the middle. It lets you choose which drive to format, what name to call it, which of about 8 formats to put on it, whether to do a “full wipe”, and that’s about it. Made in GTK for Cinnamon’s design language, it looks straightforward but competent, like it’s from Windows 7. Does what almost all users need, almost all of the time, without getting in the way. The only snag I can think of is likely the Cinnamon menu’s fault: They provide a USB Stick Formatter, and a USB Image Writer. And it will switch places in the order it presents so you can’t memorize “for the formatter, type “USB” and hit enter, for the writer, type “USB” press down and enter.” They use the same icon so you have to stop and process the written language to get the app you want.

Is there any part of Gnome that isn’t “minimal and not distracting?” In my experience, the ideal Gnome applet is a blank window with no features, only a burger menu that only has the About info and a button that says “Do Nothing” in the top bar.

I don’t know, I played with it years ago, didn’t need it and haven’t really touched it until now.

I use Syncthing for several things, especially syncing photos between my phone and desktop.
