Meta+arrow keys to manage windows: left or right to get a split, up to maximize.

Meta+pgup/pgdn to switch workspaces. Add shift to move the current window with you.

Those are the main ones I use all the time, but there’s a full list (some that aren’t bound by default) in the settings. I would probably remap pgup and pgdn to something closer to my fingers on a regular keyboard, but I use an ergo split 60% so I already have those keys on my home row.

Tbh GNOME feels best with a combo of mouse and keyboard, like Meta+mousewheel scrolling lets you switch workspaces very smoothly. And I think I had to map this myself, but I use right click drag + Meta to resize windows dynamically. But the above keys let me do 90% of what I want to with windows.

If you really want a fully keyboard-driven window management scheme you should probably check out a standalone window manager. I love sway personally.

Except it also went up? Looks like only apple dropped.

Honestly I think if you lean into the grey hairs it can totally work for you. I understand wanting to stop the balding (assuming it’s actually happening and not just you imagining things – see a dermatologist), but just because you have some grey hairs doesn’t mean you’ll look like an old man in a couple years. You can always dye it if you want to, but as someone who’s had some grey in my hair since my 20s, it’s really not going to age you that much on its own, and some people will think it looks great.

NixOS is amazing, but it’s also got a crazy learning curve. Once you grok it though, it really changes the way you configure your computer.

Fedora is always my favorite big name distro, they’re constantly pushing the envelope and adopting new features that need some stability and exposure to mature.

Umm, what I said: the updates happen faster. If you have a GPU maybe you should try it?

If you’re on a high-refresh display, the GPU acceleration allows for much faster updates. Makes it feel much smoother. It’s of course not needed, but neither is a lot of stuff we do.

Uhh, switching terminals is nothing like distro-hopping, that’s a ridiculous analogy. You might need to configure the new terminal, but that’s it, and there’s no cost or conflict.

I love foot. The only caveat is that it’s only for Wayland (no X support).

Lol he means another gas station

What?

Reaper is another good DAW that runs natively.

Blender has great video editing capabilities. There’s also KDenLive and a few other native video editors.

CAD is harder unless you’re okay with switching to a parametric design flow with FreeCAD.

The chopping/grip advice is missing a critical component: your two farthest forward knuckles on your non-knife hand should be contacting the knife blade at all times. This gives you precise control and you know exactly where the cutting surface is. It takes a lot of practice to do properly, but that is how the pros do it. I recommend this video from Jacques Pepin for an example: https://youtu.be/nffGuGwCE3E

There’s a 100% chance that his mic issues are not driver related, but instead are Discord’s fault. They are classically awful at providing feature parity for Linux.

Have him fiddle with the audio settings, it’s probably either the echo cancellation or noise reduction. As another commenter mentioned there are third party solutions for both.

FYI for GW2 you can actually use the steam client even if your account is non-steam, you just need to use a launch option – see here https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/wvxqe3/logging_into_guild_wars_2_on_steam_with_an/

To be clear, the vast majority of “games with anti-cheat” work perfectly well on Linux. It’s just the ones where developers have chosen to either explicitly block Linux (e.g. Fortnite) or to use invasive rootkit anti-cheat (e.g. Riot games, FACEIT, etc.) which wouldn’t be allowed to work on Linux anyway because it’s a really stupid idea to let random gaming companies have access to your ring 0.

Great, yeah, both sides are the same huh? Grow a spine.

Reaper supports Linux natively.

While pretty much any distro can do this, I will warn you that it’s not the greatest idea. GNOME and KDE are both massive software suites and you’ll have a lot of redundant programs, e.g. two GUI file managers, and sometimes you’ll get unexpected behavior. There are also some look and feel issues that might crop up with apps getting style hints from two places. Again, it’s nothing super major, and it’s been a while since I’ve done this so maybe it’s improved, but any time I’ve tried I end up rolling back or reinstalling with only one big DE.

It’s much less of an issue to have one big DE and then potentially several other more modular window managers, as those have much less opinionated payloads. I’ve got sway and hypr installed alongside GNOME.
