Ergonomic? Maybe

Accessible? Well, when you need to be able to do yoga-aasanas just to get it in view; you tell me

I hear what I say and it feels unpleasant.
Also, I don’t like adding senseless* words in my speech.

* Unless it’s funny or sth.

I see. When using X11, I was using xinput to set MMB scrolling, but at that time, it had the problem of activating the MMB paste function, if I didn’t click and hold properly.

Over time, my habits changed and I kinda stopped using it. But maybe I’ll try again once it comes in Plasma 6.2 (it’s actually in beta rn)

Oopsie! You’re right. No way.

I’d rather switch to a lock that doesn’t lock automatically and captures the key, when open.

Ok, the latter is probably a bad idea for a fixed lock. Works pretty well for a padlock.

Gears !!!

Read that with elongated syllables, sparkles and reverb

I was making a shared library at work and was recently asked to start throwing exceptions, because the users wouldn’t care to check my returned error and just continue with the empty returned data.
Well, now they will most probably have an empty catch block and continue doing what they did before.

Nothing can fix a lazy worker.

Firefox will still cause a paste though, so you have to disable it separately over there.

As an “arch btw” user, you should know, you need to configure your stuff yourself.
Otherwise, you’re just an arch user.

KDE once made it easier with a GUI https://pointieststick.com/2024/07/05/this-week-in-kde-autoscrolling/
This should be coming in 6.2, I suppose. Until then, you can do it with libinput

I wish that worked everywhere, but it doesn’t.

Unless you’re on Linux

Well, considering that I am with coworkers who don’t remember when to and not to put the ‘/’ at the start of the file path (despite me explaining it to them multiple times), “slash e t c” is probably the better way.

I too expected it to be “et cetera”.

I used to pronounce it like yuzr, knowing that it wasn’t user, but not knowing what it was.
Now I have better context. Maybe I’ll go with U.S.R.

Maybe this article would be a good indicator.

By default, Ubuntu will give the Snap version, which Steam devs don’t like to support.
And installing another version will probably require some configuration and terminal stuff, so I’d suggest going with something that plays well with Valve.

Steam ⇒ No Ubuntu

For Word/Excel alternatives, I would suggest LibreOffice fresh. So, go with one that gives recent versions of it ^[1].

can I operate a Linux PC these days without needing to troubleshoot or type code.

That will vary greatly depending upon your Hardware selection. I was lucky enough to manage a good enough setup (adding extra effort to check Motherboard components) for Linux support and still have a few problems. [I am unable to get CPU fan speed (tachometer reading).]

I like Endeavour OS, but it being rolling on Arch, means, it is for someone who is happy with troubleshooting and bug reporting.

I had tried Open SUSE for a bit (back then, I hardy knew Linux) and liked that too.

Debian probably won’t work either, because, even though it is something you probably won’t need to troubleshoot for years, once setup, Steam will make it hard for you and Discord, well, no idea. I removed it after declining the new TOS.

sympathy for naive users, and FOSS devs mainly do not

From what I have seen, KDE devs that I interacted with, had a higher tolerance for mistakes, than I would want to have for myself.

I once submitted a wish for Kate, which was also submitted multiple times before and marked as Won’t Fix, because: a) low demand; b) nobody to do it.
But when I started trying to implement it, I as given more help than I should have asked for.

So, it’s probably just about chance. Don’t let a few rejections stop you. If you consider it useful, even if it gets rejected now, someone will see it eventually. And some programmer might find it worth implementing.

Yes.

I absolutely hated the feeling of helplessness when I found a problem somewhere, when using Windows.
On Linux, I am happy to give bug reports/ wishlist reports and follow through with them. Maybe even fix something, if I feel like I can. That (and the higher transparency in communication) makes me much more forgiving of problems I may find anywhere.

Saving…

I made my first API at work last year (still making) and always saw myself looking for input on making a consistent way to return errors, with no useful input from the senior programmers or the API users. This is my second biggest problem, the first being variable and function names of course.

If I were to do anything related to HTTP, I now have something to look at.
