Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

Just saw a thread on thermal monitors for a desktop set up. It made me think of GKrellm. No https apparently.

I loved using that! But for some reason I stopped installing it.

Same with Afterstep. Though I found the configs for that one a pain to use, and I eventually started using things like Fluxbox.

So, what did you used to love, and maybe still do? Bit of a desktop-focus but it can be anything I suppose.

Ubuntu until it integrated with Amazon search. Years later I tried a recent version but I hated snap being forced everywhere.

Switched to Mint when Mark Shuttleworth personally declared all windows would be left-handed, the day before a long-term feature freeze.

Coin-toss decisions have no wrong answer... except going back to re-flip that coin. Once people learn whichever way you implemented, that is the right answer.

I use Easytag regularly despite not being updated in 7 years

If someone told me over twenty years ago that one day I would not be using Gentoo, Enlightenment, screen, bash and ssh. I would have had a hard time believing it yet now I am using Arch, i3wm, tmux, fish and mosh. Gkrellm was always permanently running on my desktop at that time too.

Kubernetes and the ecosystem around it.. Things like external-dns, autoscalers, external secrets operator, istio, cilium, vitess, etc.. It's a joy to work with and I don't want to go back to the old way if I can avoid it.

Windows before I found linux, adobe software in general before they started making their stuff subscription only. Krita and da vinci fill the void somewhat.
