Have you been shown massive spoilers for a series and instead of it ruining the experience for you, it actually makes it so much better because you're excited to see the full context behind it. That's how I feel about Undead Unluck right now
@BrodieOnLinux If I'm already watching something, then it spoils it for me. However if I haven't considered watching it yet, then it makes me want to see it to see how it comes about.
The most amusing floating window workflow I've heard is "I full screen every window and then alt+tab between them", this user has basically reinvented the tabbing window manager without realizing it
@BrodieOnLinux I do this. Alt-tab is good for quickly switching between the current and last window, but I mainly use the list of open windows in the panel (with my mouse).
Happy #TuneTuesday Fediverse! With today's theme of #GhostStorySongs, one epic track immediately springs comes to mind.
A sweeping, intensely emotional, downright heavy song about tragic love, by none other than Nightwish.
This particular live version of Ghost Love Score (from Wacken 2013) never fails to give me chills during its crescendo. And Floor Jansen's vocals elevate this thing to the stratosphere.
#Linux is like a Chinese copy of an #OS with poorly written documentation and badly fitting parts. I'm trying to load #Mozilla#Thunderbird on #Linux_Mint but the instructions are gibberish. e.g. instructions say following libraries or packages are needed:
glibc 2.17 or higher
GTK+ 3.14 or higher
libdbus-glib 0.6.0 or higher
libglib 2.42 or higher
libstdc++ 4.8.1 or higher
libxtst 1.2.3 or higher
X.Org 1.0 or higher
Why isn't there a way to check if my Mint install already has them?
@Yoshi#LinuxMint is (should be) quite user-friendly, and you should be able to do 99% of what you want without needing to use the command line.
In terms of installing software, think of #Linux more like Android than Windows. In Android you don't go to a website to download and install apps; you go to the Play Store. Similarly in Linux, you can install most applications via the distribution's software center.
@Yoshi I thought Mint had Thunderbird installed by default... But if not, open the software center, search for Thunderbird, and install it that way. No need to worry about commands, dependencies, etc.
There may be two options to install: a system package or Flatpak. I'd suggest sticking with system packages where possible (if you don't want to tinker) - they might be slightly older versions, but are generally more stable with less issues.
