Dash’s more significant feature is its speed. It’s not meant to be used in place of bash at all, its meant to be symlinked in place of sh to give you a faster and smaller shell with a simpler and more auditable codebase.

Dash is not a a Bash alternative, it is an sh alternative. You definitely should not replace Bash with it. If your goal is to learn career relevant skills, stick with bash.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Rebranding our open-source Selfhosted social project to BitsocialEnglish
18·15 days agoNgl I did not think about that at all. There are loads of sites with social in the name, like the flagship mastodon instance.
It seems kinda silly to stop using social as in the name for social websites because of them.

Linux@programming.dev•Developer Claims Photoshop Installers Now Work on Linux Using WineEnglish
11·21 days agoYeah, there isnt even a merge request upstream yet and it seems like no tests have been added, which I’m sure will be required before merge.
They did release a binary of their fork, and you can always build it yourself as well.
Theyre currently completely reimplementing it, so maybe itll be better once thats done.
Heliboard is the best I’ve used. Florisboard is great if you like swipe typing.

unixporn@lemmy.world•What do you think of tools for setting colorschemes in many apps at once, like pywal and base16?English
2·27 days agoI think matugen is great if you want something similar to android, where your can have your entire system them follow your wallpaper.
I’m personally not a fan of doing that, I’d rather just use existing themes like Catppuccin, they tend to look good more consistently. It already supports basically everything I use.

unixporn@lemmy.world•| Is Quickshell the most popular shell framework & ecosystem (Noctalia, DMS, etc)? Any others like that?English
2·27 days agoQuickshell is definitely the most popular. I think QTs flexibility is a big part of what made it so popular.
Probably the biggest similar project that used AGS was end-4s Hyprland dots, which eventually switched to Quickshell too. The dev shared some of the reasoning behind it here.
There’s also Fabric, there’s a Hyprland shell called Ax-Shell using it that seems pretty popular, but I don’t know much about it.
Nice! I just switched to niri + DMS, its great!

1·27 days ago“read the changes before installing a major update”
Obviously I dont think people need to read every change log for every piece of software. I do think its a good idea to read the release notes for a major update of your DE thought, since its the piece of software that is going to effect you the most.
And once it is no longer on and has become a setting, they can just remove the setting and force people to drop gsettings and then remove it completely.
What reason do they possibly have to do this? The setting already exists and is feature complete. It doesnt require maintenance. They also noted in the merge request that many RHEL users use it, so RedHat has a financial incentive not to remove it.
They could also instead ask people on first launch. Some people enable telemetry, so they will find out how many people prefer to keep it, which I bet will be most.
They could also just make it a setting. I really dont think it makes a big difference. They can also still use telemetry to see how many users enable it. Based on this thread, I really doubt it will be most.
The first time startup wizard should be kept relatively short and minimal. This just seems like a very unnecessary thing to include.

Linux@lemmy.ml•GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on LinuxEnglish
1·28 days agoIt will break their workflow for a few seconds before they change the setting back. Or they could read the changes before installing a major update and change it before even doing anything.
Maybe in the future it will be added to the initial setup guide along with stuff like choosing if you want mouse acceleration, but I really dont think its that big a deal.

1·28 days agoIt’s very easy for a user to accidentally paste private or sensitive information somewhere dangerous if theyre unaware of this feature.
The FreeDesktop specification refers to this feature as an “easter egg”, and something like this should absolutely not be an easter egg.
This change would mean disabling it by default and adding a settings entry that actually explains it, making sure users are informed before they can accidentally use it.

I’m not super familiar with sysext, but from my understanding, you’d need to create an additional sysext to include, or find an existing one for DMS (I couldn’t find one).
Your other options would be using rpmtree or a custom image. Theres already a few images out there that are based on Bluefin with Niri + DMS added.
Tbh I’m recalling struggling to find good documentation for sysext. Asking in the ublue discord will probably get you better answers.
