I just installed the latest Deepin Linux, and that process was smooth! I wish all distros would care this much about beauty and ease of use! Looking forward to trying it out. Wonder if it actually has a smaller memory footprint than Ubuntu?
But I also wish they cared a bit more about correct English, though :P

I love it when I find new cross platform tools that does exactly what I need. Today I needed to delete a few pages from a pdf, and found Sejda, which was a breeze to use for that, and so much more. https://www.sejda.com/desktop

How To Get Flatpak Apps To Use The Correct Gtk Theme
https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/05/how-to-get-flatpak-apps-to-use-correct.html
Distributions should be doing this by default. As far as I know, Pop!_OS does (unless I somehow installed it myself and forgot but I don’t think so).

@catdad Yes. But I thought of it now

Zorin OS seems like an interesting distro for people who don't really care about PCs (most people). https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/08/zorin-os-12-4-download
Too bad I didn't think of that before delivering 10 older PCs to Refugees Welcome today. They where going to be trashed, I installed Ubuntu on them and hopefully gave them a new life.

@burek Gnome extensions. extensions.gnome.org

#Ubuntu is supposed to be #Linux for human beings – for anyone, nerd and noob alike. It is based on Gnome, which has a lot of great extensions. Some, like Topicons Plus, Steal my focus (and No titlebar), feels even neccessary.
Yet, to install extensions in Ubuntu you first have to know about the website then you have to read some strange messages telling you to install a Firefox extension and then open Terminal to install a program.
This is ridiculous! Why isn't this installed by default?

@thor But why did England care enough about Norse gods to give them so many of the names of the days of the week?
forteller
@thor It is a joke. Bee jokes about it all the time

@Antanicus To me it just sounds like Disney wants to make sure the tools they use are the best possible, according to their needs
forteller
All will be great!

Artists of the fediverse! How do you create a good looking portfolio website if you can't code? Do you use WordPress or a hosted service like Deviantart? Do you have any nice examples to show me? @Curator

Jeg blir forbanna over at statsministeren kan gi makt til dem som nører opp under hatet, og så på en dag som denne dra fram fine festtale-ord. Ord hun ikke bruker når det faktisk gjelder! Måtte skrive litt om det. Put up or shut up, Erna Solberg!
