Such Windows mentality...taught that everyone else only uses onething...you are going to come into a rude awakening in Linux land if you keep talking like that.

Desktop or not, I have no idea what the question is...

A box that show up when you drag the mouse around a folder or desktop...can you elaborate. I am getting voices in my head saying: "Its that thing, with that other thing, you know, its got those things around it when you click it" ;)

yes... I'm using Gnome. KDE can go and die, for all I care :)

Who's got the Windows mentality? I agree that yes, I know Windows more... but I thought that since I'd posted a bunch of other threads about FC3 and Gnome, then people would figure it out.. but sorry.

I'm talking about when you select things. To select a group of icons, you could drag the mouse and select them all? Yes? Well... I want to change the colour from the default blue, to something else?

Got it?

Bah.

More Windows mentality...ignorant user...

Thats why Windows is in the state its in. No healthy competition because it stomped them all into the ground or bought them out and hung them, so you stagnate and eventually die. KDE keeps Gnome evolving and bettering itself as does Gnome to KDE. Both are essential to the benefit of the user...

THATS Windows mentality, to overlook the BIGGER picture because all you care about is what YOU want. I myself use KDE, but I would never put Gnome down because it has many good points, its just not what I feel like using. Just because I dont use it, doesnt make any worse then KDE or any less significant in the grand scheme of things. You have probably never even installed KDE or used for more then 20 minutes. Your comments are based off ignorants and they irritate me because I respect ever single tiny application in Linux because they guys work in their spare time and dont get paid a cent to help YOU out...and they get this type of snotty, arrogant attitude in reverse.

You are a wonderful human being and a treasure to the Linux society...

I never said you were, but before you go spouting nonsense like "KDE could die for all I care" and offending the people that do use it, let alone the people that spend their free time programming for it, you should rethink your statements. You potentially anger people with derogatory statements like that. Just because we are on the internet, does not mean you arent accountable for your words...

You also potentially irritate people that do know how you solve your problems...you catch more flies with sugar then you do with vinegar...might want to remember that.

    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.

      Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
