I zoomed in looking for tex code. Was disappointed.

I'm pretty sure it's a cucumber plant. I planted them for the first time this year and they grow those little things to grab onto stuff for support. It's really neat!

I was employed at this awesome little school but left before Desantis's stupid anti-woke and DEI crusade. I hope it and the current students/employees don't suffer too much. I doubt Desantis gets voted out...

Yup, Google Now was actually useful and helpful, so of course they had to get rid of it.

That looks like ranch dressing.

No. You don't manually place apps on homescreen. I have it configured to only show one row of favorites, which are categorized as "pinned - manually sorted". Than the rest of my favorites are seen when i swipe to app drawer.

Can do homescreen icons. It has a widgets "pane". You don't place them on the home screen but put all widgets together than swipe to widgets. You can configure kvaesitso so it's not too different from stock android experience.

I have 5 "favorite" apps at bottom of screen, above the search bar, similar to stock android.

I swipe left for my app drawer, which allows for more pinned favorites above full list.

I swipe up for all my widgets.

Swipe down for notifications, like stock.

Swipe right for my camera app.

I too would be put off if it had to be used that way. But it can be used as a regular icon tapping launcher - it has a regular app drawer - which is how i use it. I don't think it should market itself as a "search-focused" launcher.

Gnome Files - how to change default terminal for "open in terminal" (lemm.ee)
 

How does one change the terminal that Gnome Files uses when opening a directory in terminal using "Open in Terminal"? I'm trying to change the default to foot.

All my searching has led to

sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator

  Selection    Path                             Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
  0            /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper   40        auto mode
* 1            /usr/bin/foot                     20        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/footclient               10        manual mode
  3            /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper   40        manual mode
  4            /usr/bin/koi8rxterm               20        manual mode
  5            /usr/bin/lxterm                   30        manual mode
  6            /usr/bin/uxterm                   20        manual mode
  7            /usr/bin/xterm                    20        manual mode

which I can select foot. But Gnome Files does not seem to respect this.

I've also tried directly editing

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec foot

where the default exec option is x-terminal-emulator. This also does not work.

Unattended upgrades - daily sudo apt update? (lemm.ee)
 

New debian user here. I'm using sway and have a script in my waybar config to look for upgrades and indicate if any are available. However, it typically doesn't find anything because I first need to run a sudo apt update first.

I don't really want to figure out someway to do a sudo through this script and was curious how gnome finds updates without me needing to enter a password.

It looks like I can use unattended upgrades to do the apt update.

https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades

though I don't want it to do upgrades until I do a sudo apt upgrade after being notified of upgrades. I created a 02periodic file in /etc/apt/apt.config.d as indicated, but I only included the lines

APT::Periodic::Enable "1";

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";

Will this run an apt update every day for me? Is there any issue I'm unaware of in doing this? Thanks for any help!
