Every file manager can be used within every desktop environment. I use Dolphin (qt based), check it out if you don't mind mixing Qt and GTK together.whats a good filemanager that is not shit and can be used with any desktop environment? nautilus is too basic for my taste
Fine. I've never had problems over close to two years of use across multiple machines. Technically you're supposed to check the RSS feed for problems before updating, but I never bother. I have seen some broken AUR packages, though.How's the stability?
pro tip? I see what you did thereFedora is best distro, fight me on this. Pro tip: you can't.
I haven't liked KDE since KDE3.I use arch and the chad KDE.
I thought yum was getting killed off in favor of duke nukem forever (dnf)I also enjoy Debian when fucking around with hosting, or Fedora. I'm liking yum a lot more than apt.
pcmanfm. Its not exactly pretty, but it'll curb stomp babbys first file manager.whats a good filemanager that is not shit and can be used with any desktop environment? nautilus is too basic for my taste
I use pcmanfm if I want a GUI (usually because I want a thumbnail preview). To be completely honest I've not found a file manager I actually really like.whats a good filemanager that is not shit and can be used with any desktop environment? nautilus is too basic for my taste
the old konqueror in file manager mode was pretty dank. mc for cli.I use pcmanfm if I want a GUI (usually because I want a thumbnail preview). To be completely honest I've not found a file manager I actually really like.
What programs haven't been ported over to qt5? Tbh I have had zero issues with plasma.View attachment 1001070
Work laptop, *Ackshually* its Xubuntu.
Stuck with it entirely out of convenience/stability/laziness, may wind up eventually tipping over to fedora at some point.
anybody got any recommendations for a tool for monitoring/keeping up to bandwidth usage for metered connections? I know its supposed to be a thing in gnome sometime in the near future. I've rigged up a script here and there to keep an eye on things and kill off a few things that use bandwidth that can wait till later, but an actual thing that someone built with a gui that didn't require me to think would be cool.

I haven't liked KDE since KDE3.
KDE4 at launch was pretty, but buggy and ran like ass. Now it runs fairly well, but its inconsistent. quite a bit of stuff from kde3 and earlier kde4 still hasn't been ported over to get along with qt5. Maybe in another 6 months i'll give it a go.

dnf basically works like apt the last time i played with fedora.
The big reason i stopped using fedora core 5 or 6 (its been a while) is because RPM sucked ass with handling dependencies, though fedora 27 (the last time i ran fedora) seemed to be ok.

Can't remember off hand, it was a few different less commonly used ones. There may have been newer replacements or something under different names. It's been a couple years since I last tried it.What programs haven't been ported over to qt5? Tbh I have had zero issues with plasma.
By the 'chad KDE' you mean Trinity, the continuation KDE3 project, right?the chad KDE.
How bad is systemd, really?By the 'chad KDE' you mean Trinity, the continuation KDE3 project, right?
Generally just use awesomewm and whatever is the most appropriate application for my desktop. Use Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint in various places. They all work fine, I guess. Have contemplated switching to Devuan to get away from the systemd cancer but unsure as to whether whatever random stupid issues I will encounter in poorly written applications as a result will be worth it.
Honestly, with the new Proton thing, the vast majority of my Steam games play on Linux with no tinkering whatsoever.>zero game support
why do people use linux exactly?
That's a good joke. Poettering et al even reject valid bug reports quite regularly. That thing is a freakshow and everything it does has been solved before. The only reason we're even talking about it now is because of Red Hats influence.Isn't it better to perhaps direct systemd's development to a better place instead of trying to ditch it?
