    I want to point out that the changes you are talking about, minimize/maximize buttons and docks, are actually big changes to the workflow of a desktop environment. How hard would it be to remove those buttons and the standard dock on windows? Harder than it is with gnome I think. Gnome isn't windows and it's used differently from windows. It shouldn't be expected to accommodate windows's workflow.

    First of all his leadership of Fateh and the PLO worked to concentrate power in the hands of his particular opportunist clique. He undermined the Palestinian liberation movement throughout it's history. He undermined, dominated, and excluded the radical sections of Fateh which rejected collaboration with Zionism, who threatened his rule. His agreement to exit Lebanon directly led to the massacre of thousands. His signing onto the oslo accords and his creation of the Palestinian authority with its security and police force built for direct collaboration with the Zionist state and repression of Palestinian resistance signed the west bank away to Israel. Yaser Arafat is the direct cause of decades upon decades of failure of the Palestinian liberation movement, and his legacy continues to haunt us to this very day with the traitorous Fateh party and Palestinian authority.

    Yasser Arafat was an Israeli and American puppet who got the west bank into the situation that it's in in the first place. His insidious leadership sowed the seeds of the Palestinian liberation movement's destruction in the west bank and Lebanon, and Fateh's betrayal. Of course he committed the betrayal with his own hands in the end as well.

    I think I remember seeing it on this community. It was a darkly colored video. It was mostly focused on UX design, and the guy was talking about pretty innovative features with auto completion suggestions and undoing and things like that. Does anyone remember it or have a link? My search was fruitless.

    When I first wanted to try Linux out I made a small 50gb partition for it. the logic was that this was the size of just one game and it was an entire operating system, so I wasn't losing much. As I continued to use Linux I kept expanding that partition to correspond with the priority I gave the OS.

    Israel didn't ditch or disobey America's commands in any meaningful sense. The idea that America is trying to keep Israel under control while it's commiting this genocide is propaganda. That is not what's happening. The US is not issuing commands that Israel is disobeying. What it's doing is directly giving Israel the tools to commit this genocide. It wouldn't be able to without the US's current actions.

    Cycling as a societal mode of transport deprives capitalist automakers, oil companies, banks, and insurance companies of immense income. The right wing is extremely fervently capitalist and defends the capitalist class maniacally. That is why they defend harmful societal planning that funnels wealth to the capitalist class.

    Palestinians are focused on liberation. Israeli settlers are focused on genocide and sadistic murder. The resistance of the Warsaw ghetto is not equivalent to the genocidal violence of Nazi Germany.

    Depends on how you define conservatives? If you categorize the entire US political spectrum as conservatives (and economically, they are), then sure. In the prevalent usage of the term, that's not true, because liberals are just as much a barrier because they are capitalists. The entire US political spectrum is ideologically liberal save for a few fascists on the right, and both are capitalist ideologies.

    A few streets on a mountain can and should have a grocery store. For the occasional specialized needs, rural residents can use comparatively inefficient modes of transport because of their relatively small number. There's still a huge margin for better efficiency and planning.

    I Made Screen Brightness Control on Gnome Much Better gitlab.gnome.org

    Anyone here struggle with trying to adjust brightness on Gnome in low light? At the low end, the steps are way too far apart, and at high brightness they're almost imperceptible. Every other operating system uses a brightness curve that better matches human perception. I've [improved the brightness control](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/-/merge_requests/340) of the Gnome settings daemon, using a bezier curve based brightness curve. I've also written all the appropriate tests which it passes. With this implementation, the change in brightness between each step should be perceptually identical, providing more nuance at low brightness and faster control at high brightness. Would you all like to see this become a part of Gnome? The MR is about 4 weeks old now and the maintainers haven't looked at it yet so I'm looking to gauge public interest and see if users want to see it merged.

    I want ease of use, polish, and the i3 workflow. Should I use fedora or nix os?

    I'm currently using Manjaro with i3 and no desktop environment. The problems with Manjaro as well as the lack of cohesiveness and missing features from not having a DE are prompting me to switch distributions. This isn't the point of the post but I want to keep the i3 workflow but achieve DE level (gnome level ideally) of polish and ease of use. If you have any recommendations for doing this shoot them my way. Anyway, the two options I'm thinking of are fedora and nix. Fedora is a safe choice I think, I know what I'm going to get. Nix is really tempting. The idea that I can reproduce my system with one file is very tantalizing considering I already keep track of my dot files with git. My concerns about nix are regarding ease of use, learning curve, and polish. Is it wise to invest the time into learning something so niche like how to configure everything with nix, a skill that isn't portable to any other distro? I'm not quite sure. Also if anyone has tips for making switching distros easier I'd appreciate it. Edit: I ended up choosing fedora. I added the pop shell for tiling and [this](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/5090/space-bar/) workspace indicator extension. I only set it up yesterday but I'm very excited it seems like an incredible system.
