Yeah if it were about security they’d check the version of HTTPS, SSL, TLS and all that stuff.

Key bindings and a good GUI aren’t mutually exclusive.

Key bindings are great for people that use the app a lot and want to be more efficient at the tasks they do most often in it. But most people aren’t going to be learning keyboard shortcuts the first time they use an app. And if someone uses an app a few times and find it frustrating to use, they never use it enough to want to learn keyboard shortcuts to improve their efficiency with the app.

So you open any other image editor, click the rectangle select button, draw a rectangle, then select a move button beside the rectangle select tool, then it moves the rectangle you just selected and you think “That’s fucking stupid, it should’ve moved the entire image, not the rectangle I just selected!”

Really?

I went with XFCE for similar reasons. I played with various DEs at one point but after a while I realized I mostly just need an icon to click on to start the application I want to use.

Sid was that dickhead in Toystory that broke the toys.

If you’re running debian sid and not expecting it to be a buggy insecure mess, then you’re doing debian wrong.

A big hurdle in any technological change is the “power users”. People that have learned a lot about the old tech and have to face that knowledge becoming obsolete. And then having to learn a bunch of new things.

The same goes for Windows power users as people who know a lot about fossil fuel powered cars.

Yes. I’m alone because no one else is good enough for me! :P

I use Debian. I’m alone on Valentine’s Day :(

I thought you’re supposed to dual boot until whatever version of windows you have EOLs and then look up the price of updating windows, say “fuck that” and just not boot windows again for a while and then eventually wipe it when you need more disk space.

Am I the only one?

I’ll go one further and say choosing applications is more important than choosing a Desktop Environment.

I’m typing this message on Firefox. I installed it (and updated it) with Debian’s package management system. I clicked on a button on an XFCE panel to open it. But in terms of the time spent interacting with things on my computer I’m using the applications far more than anything else.

This guy has super cow powers.

Thanks for your work, it’s an awesome logo.

Simple and recognizable. Exactly what a logo is supposed to be. I think it’s the best logo in all of OSS. Basically the Nike swoosh of OSS, everyone else has to put the name of the software on the logo so people will know what it is. But you see the swirl, and you instantly know it’s Debian without any explanation.
