I agree, it's kind of funny in their website claim they don't put "bells and whistles" in their UI yet it looks way cluttered compared to K-9/Thunderbird.
No doubt it can work better than the aforementioned but it'd be nice if their devs could be a bit humble and recognize its UI could get some love and it would be beneficial for FairEmail.
And I want r/forhire. At least something like r/slave labour. As with r/3dprinting, Lemmy alternatives are dead. I was told to look for some alternative at Mastodon but I'm not a microblogging person, feeling much better here.
If you don't like Vim you should try vis.
and refused to just search online
Unless you were f*cked by your ISP as I am right now, that's having some balls. Or being masochist. But nothing in between
Can't answer for all your requirements but for the gist of it I'm guessing you'd like KDE. I guess you'd like Kate as your text editor and Krename as your file rename tool. It comes with some Windows-y keyboard shortcuts set by default as Win+L to lock the screen (and ask for your password).
Can't tell about ffmpeg nor mpv GUI frontends as I'm more of a cli person but I seem to recall there are several KDE/Qt frontends for mpv and it won't be surprising if there's one for ffmpeg too.
As for your distro question I'd try Fedora if I were you, though you might feel adventurous and try with Arch (and surely you'll learn a thing or two about Linux and your computer).
Other than that, the nice people in here surely can give you better options.
It's because you're pregnant.
But on all seriousness, some say that there are cases when the would-be-father also feels nauseous with food when the girl gets pregnant.
I'm old and my gateway to Linux was Ubuntu 5.10 via a live CD they gave me at uni back in 2006.
I got to experience it when they used to take seriously their "Linux for human beings" motto.
Those were GNOME 2 and kernel 2.x times. Albeit the limitations of the technology (40GB HDD disk, 256 MB RAM, an Intel Xeon processor which I can't remember it's exact specs) it felt way snappier (no pun intended) than Windows. You could felt they cared about it in that brown visual theme, the icons, the sounds, the way the documentation was phrased - you could feel the Ubuntu in it.
I ended wiping my entire docs drive while trying to install it but got to learn lots of stuff and feel like my computer was actually mine.
Same as for many people my generation, I switched to Linux thanks to that Ubuntu. It's really sad what it has become and the poor, selfish decisions they have taken, but still it keeps holding a special place in the Linux memories.
We had the same ISP at home for about 16 years. Internet runs over copper cable along with the landline phone service.
On April this year they sent a letter saying they are deprecating copper lines and switching everything to optic fiber, but for some reason our neighborhood is not getting it so they were supposed to terminate the contract and stopping their services on April 2025.
But they did that past Wednesday, all of a sudden, without notifying us whatsoever. They are not answering why are doing this either. On Wednesday I called them to ask what was going on and they told me they were going to reconnect on Thursday morning, but at 4:00 pm it was still the same. Called them again and said they were not reconnecting us because fuck you.
So I can't visit most of the web right now and I fear I might be booted from the WFH job. The couple of things I use frequently that are still working somehow are Feedly and Lemmy. Tried to switch DNS addresses at the router trying to circumvent this to no avail.
Heading to the nearest library in a couple of hours to talk with my boss.
For what it's worth they still air it here from time to time, in the self-claimed "only rock station of Colombia"
Neither did I, but here we are. Going a bit too far outside the scope of a digital painting program that one day decided to include animation features, but at least they have the resources to do it.
Meanwhile (the) GIMP is still trying to reach the 3.0 release and its devs keep being ultradefensive to whatever critique is done to the project...
Hope Krita doesn't take +10 years to move to Qt6 as GIMP has took moving to freaking GTK+3.
Krita 5.2.5 is here, bringing over 50 bugfixes since 5.2.3 (5.2.4 was a Windows-specific hotfix). Major fixes have been done to audio playback, transform mask calculation and more!

What scared me about it is this kind of shit.
I'd be surprised if there was any alternative, to be honest.
I'd file the bug - your case is not common. I run kscreenlocker just fine and it's not such a ram hog here.
Some nice stuff right there but gosh, I just can't stand seeing Inter on a single more UI screen.
That means the lack of huge software like Gnome
Been using Gentoo since Jan 2009 and one of the reasons I moved to it and never looked back was because it let me tailor "huge software" like KDE to my needs, with the aid of USE flags and sets. That's what an actual customizable distro let you to do. If you want to use "smaller software" like, say, Openbox, it won't get in your way either.
So that point of "centered around smaller software" strucks as weird to me - it goes against the "customizability" point and, ironically, the very Linux kernel is "huge software"...
I'd think about something with Xfce on it, like a Fedora Xfce spin
More expensive helmets aren't safer, cause they all have to pass the same safety tests
If only that were true here on "third world" countries too - here you can get helmets made of paper-thin plastic and cheap styrofoam in whatever bike shop and mall. Even those are being sold for kids.
If you make your own he's looking forward to seeing it.
Not a programmer whatsoever but I've heard about Zig and people comparing it to Rust, what's the deal with it?
Out of the loop, what changes made it 'unusable'?
For what it's worth, I recall some turd at r/graphic_design swearing at Inkscape because it was "communist"
But it wasn't "win XP mode", and if you take a look, it doesn't look like it at all - it was an attempt from RedHat to provide a consistent look to both GNOME and KDE. There were Windows ports of Bluecurve.
(TIL Bluecurve caused a domino effect that made a developer quit RedHat)
The KDE community has charted its course for the coming years, focusing on three interconnected paths that converge on a single point: community. These paths aim to improve user experience, support developers, and foster community growth.

phtn.app keeps stuck on the loading screen (Falkon web browser)
Just a few moments ago learned about phtn.app, as I was using photon.lemmy.world. I'm trying to use it with KDE's Falkon web browser, my daily web browser in desktop, which is based on chromium (though as far as I know it's not cutting edge chromium).
photon.lemmy.world works just fine, but I don't get to pick spanish from the available languages - while in phtn.app is there (I used Firefox's web browser to check it and learn there's quite a few differences between phtn.app and photon.lemmy.world).
The thing is that phtn.app stucks on the loading screen (the circle spinner) with Falkon. Not sure if it's Falkon being funky or there's something that could be done on phtn.app. All I can see in the web inspector is the following:
Not wanting to pull Firefox/Chrome/whatever and all their dependencies just for this, so I'd like to know if this can be addressed in phtn.app's side.
Why People Arent Buying Sony Xperia Phones
Sony Xperia smartphones look so good on paper. So why is it that we don't recommend them? Here's our answer to that and a brief 2023 review of the Sony Xperia 1 IV.

Want to win a bike race? Hack your rival's wireless shifters
Researchers discovered a technique that would allow anyone with a few hundred dollars to hack into wireless gear-shifting systems used by top cycling teams at events like the Tour de France.
The Amarok Development Squad is happy to announce the immediate availability of Amarok 3.1 "Tricks of the Light"! Coming three months after 3.0.0 and two months after the first bugfix release 3.
All Good Things Must Come to an End... (Funtoo Linux is shutting down)
All good things must come to an end. I've decided to end the Funtoo Linux project. Funtoo started as a philosophy to create a fun community of contributors building something great together. For me, it's no longer that so I need to move on to other things. There is not a successor BDFL for Funtoo...
