OpenSuse seems like it would meet your needs. OpenSuse Kalpa might be one to look into since it's immutable and features KDE Plasma

Just ot make it clear to OP, Stable does NOT nesesarily mean bug free. Just like how most people are on the "stable" branch of Windows 10 or 11,but they still encounter bugs, "stable" Linux distros can also have bugs.

The difference between "stable" and not stable is that: 1.) The system is "stable" in that it's very unlikely to crash. Stable Linux distros are much preferred for servers, for instance. 2.) Any OS related bugs you find will still be there likely until the next big release. (with Debian iirc this is like every 4 years)

What's wrong with the built in shortcut of ctrl+alt+t?

Have you looked into Autojump? It works with bash and zsh and is even faster than using a terminal file manager if you've already visited the directory before

Totally agree with basically every point here. You hit the nail on the head. App images are the .exe's of the Linux world and I don't understand how someone can say they love app images but hate Window's portable exe's. Even Windows doesn't have nearly as many portable executable as they once did. And when they do, most people (even those who prefer app images) prefer an exe with a Windows installer.

Anyways, this is all to point out why I avoid app images if at all possible

Qdirstat? https://github.com/shundhammer/qdirstat Filelight is also really good https://apps.kde.org/filelight/

Thank you for including RSS. I'll be adding your site to my feed :)

Installed from F-Droid. I still see it here

If it's the Steam version, why not play through proton?

Interesting how there's so many answers here, but no mention of the one I came here for (and I thought would be most popular) : ricing.

I got into Linux when I saw screenshots of all the cool desktops people made with KDE, XFCE, and tiling window managers. Even Gnome looked sleek and minimal. After a while I got bored of ricing but I stayed for the ease of use as a developer

I can't speak for the T460, but I have a T480 with dual batteries and battery swapping works just fine. With a bit of tinkering I was even able to get the fingerprint sensor to work as well

For desktop there's ncspot, which is a Spotify TUI client written in Rust. Not exactly what you were asking for, but it does work well

I love the new lockscreen. Looks great so far.

I've got some concerns about the screen space usage for the desktop itself however. Between the top "Gnome" bar and the bottom panel for apps, that's a lot of vertical space used up. I can imagine this being awful for small screen laptops. Gnome doesn't have this issue because the bottom "dock" is hidden until the actitives button is pressed. Will Cosmic in some way allow the user to hide or move the bottom panel?

PostmarketOS with Phosh or Plasma Mobile perhaps? Both are meant for relatively low powered, touch-first devices

I remember when it used to be all the REALLY interesting stuff was root only, yet a lot of normal interesting stuff was non-root. Now even with root, modern Android can be a pain and the interesting stuff just pales in comparison with true Linux

It totally sounds stupid but somehow I'm guilty of it too. I've even rebought games on Steam that I have on Switch because of that and the fact that I know my Steam games will be future proof for new hardware

I used to use Gcalcli which I liked. But nowadays I just use Kalendar

JasperRLZ and Displaced gamers g game the ideas and concepts about programming video games really interesting

Maybe look into a used Thinkpad P series? They run Linux well, are typically more affordable than a new laptop which will definitely be 1K upwards, and have a 16 inch screen

Don't worry, MS is planning to fix that soon I've heard. They're just going to get rid of control panel and continue to dumb down Settings

Not really. I still prefer to play my Switch games on Switch over emulating them on my Steam Deck

Btop++ is general better since it's written in c++ and is faster

OpenSuse is great except for one (imho) zypper. When I do updates zyper has this huge section which is labeled "will not be upgraded". For me it's really distracting and makes reading which packages will be upgraded harder to parse visually at a glance

This is what I mean: https://superuser.com/questions/273424/am-i-using-zypper-correctly#361047

I just the Xperia phones weren't ridiculous expensive. Why is it impossible to get all these features on a modern smartphone <$600 USD that's not from a Chinese manufacturer?

Donkey Kong County Returns. Played it back when I was younger and it didn't click with me. The platforming was too challenging and honestly I think I got too swept up in the hype around the game at the time.

Coming back to it later, I really appreciate it now. The music, animations and platforming is all sublime. It's sequel, Tropical Freeze is my favorite 2d platfomer hands down. It's an absolute joy to play

It depends on how tightly integrated it is into the OS. Like right now File Explorer is very tightly integrated with the desktop. So much so that if you can get File Explorer to t crash, it'll most likely bring the entire desktop UI down with it.

Software is like a huge house of cards. You can't take a card from the bottom without expecting the rest of the house to stand

I don't think they've have one click methods to employ "EEA" mode or something like that. I think it's more likely to be a version of Windows compiled specifically with these limitations in mind. You'll likely have to install a specific variant of Windows for EEA

How did you ever get the controls mapped correctly? I LOVE Outrun 2, but my ZR /ZL were mapped to a single Z axis, meaning I can't break and use the gas at the same time, making drifting almost impossible :(

I wonder how this will work. So many registry tweaks which forcefully removed Edge also removed the "web view" and therefore broke a lot of parts of the OS. Maybe this is just removing the shortcuts, links and edge URIs from the OS

Silly question but does that include Fedora spins like the KDE spin? I think the last time I checked Firefox it still said it was running through XWayland (although that was a while ago)

I haven't used Irfanview in a long time now. Personally, I think there are many better alternates for it on Linux now.

Qview is open source, cross platform, and at least for me on Linux, is faster than Irfanview. I'm also a big fan of KDE's Gwenview.

If you need to do batch conversion, Converseen does the job well since it's basically just a GUI for ImageMagick

Totally off topic but what is that "Anti Commercial AI thingy" that you have linked? Is it to prevent AI scraping?

Awesome! Yeah, that's what I was a bit apprehensive about. I've only seen screenshots of a blank desktop so far, and they always show the dock. And the "apply pressure" method is definitely the better way to go.

Do you have a link? All I see in a quick internet search is about a crypto company

It's for when you have really nested directories. It happens especially when you're working in a file space used by others. I used to have a folder I would often reach called /media/nas/documents/personal/school/foo/bar/foobar2001/projectA

I ended up going back to that project so many times, I could just do j projectA and get there from anywhere. "Why not use a symlink?" I hear you say. Well it's because I often have to go to projectB or another which was in another really nested dir. Or I needed to jump to another directory which was equally as nested, and only had to use it frequently for like a week or so. Making and deleting symlinks all the time wasn't practical. Not to mention some software doesn't properly follow symlinks

Apple remote desktop? Apple doesn't support RDP. They do have a VNC client built in however
