Sounds about right.

thats the damn truth....

Tell it to my wife who reboots her laptop once a month when forced to. Drives me nuts.

Its merely off topic, Windows isn't Unix. OSX is, though only loosely.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Uh no, it's an acronym.

I unironically love this, and I have now added it to my talking points about operating systems.

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Linux isn't unix either, at best unix-like :/.Spirit wise its probably offtopic though.

The really important sosftware gets ported to all the platforms

Is there an iOS port? If there is.. I'm going to post screenshots from my wife's iPhone. iOS is more UNIX than windows!

I will be surprised if someone can make a tiling WM in Windows

[–] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 8 points 1 year ago

DWM has a windows port.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like the built-in window organizing thing Win11 comes with. When you drag a window to the top edge a little menu pops open for tiling your open windows.

Doesn't work with every window though, but browsers and spotify can be arranged that way.

[–] heimchen@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tiling capabilities don't make a window manager a tiling Window manager. They would have to tile by default and when ever another app gets opened.

Seeing the “natha” username is so vindicating. I thought I had typed my name wrong for so long

[–] Gingernate@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It pisses me off so bad. I tried to change he it, ended up having to completely delete my user and start over. Oh well I just try to ignore it now haha

[–] Krtek@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I recently set up a laptop for a friend and he was so pissed off that the user folder was just named after the first five letters of the Microsoft Account that I had to redo it with a local account

[–] Gingernate@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can I do that then log in later with my Microsoft account? I would try that if my install wasn't totally riced out already 🤣

Isn't Powershell a POSIX compliant shell now? I know that isn't "gnu/linux" but it certainly allows a lot of familiarity between the environments.

[–] Mountaineer@aussie.zone 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think it's strictly compliant, although they claim to have based it's syntax on Korn shell, which is the strictest definition of POSIX shells.

You can do pretty much everything in powershell that you can do in something like bash BUT, it will be done slightly differently, so trying to make a script cross compatible is pointless (you might as well just write it natively in powershell etc).

Powershell isn't inherently bad, unlike bash for instance which just allows piping out text output, Powershell can pass around true .net objects.
But if what you're looking for is cross OS compatability, you're pushing shit uphill.

99.9% of the time, I open powershell and just ssh into a "real" linux box.

[–] PuppyOSAndCoffee@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

powershell is inherently bad btw

All jokes (and my seething hatred of MS) aside - it's off topic here, does not belong in this community.

I remember a while ago Tails developers were asking for help making the user interface mimic windows, to help people hide better the use of Tails in public spaces like libraries or cafes.

[–] moormaan@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Kali Linux introduced a script to reskin the DE to look as closely as possible like Windows a few years ago.

Replace file manager with dolphin

[–] Gingernate@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it any good on windows? I hate what a steaming confusing pile of shit file manager is

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Windows is so integrated with the stock one that it can’t be removed and you can’t get things to open dolphin instead

But, dolphin is faster (in my experience) and the biggest sell for me is that it doesn’t randomly pop in front of things

I would say it’s not actually worth it due to the first part but it is better, maybe someone smarter than me could get hacky

There is actually a MS Edge version for Linux. I wonder if anyone makes a joke distro that breaks the file manager and terminal when you uninstall it.

[–] Venomnik0@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Windows (Linux Edition)
