Did you know there's a quiz about everyone's favourite Unix mascot, Beastie?

OK #FediFriends, time for more #recs pls for #Linux-y stuff… 🙏 (I’m temporarily ruling out #FreeBSD, soz #Beastie fans 👿)

what file manager do you like / prefer / use?

I’m very not-happy with #Nautilus (a.k.a. “Files” 🙄) – I swear it used to be good maybe a decade or two ago but now it feels like a babby’s first file manger with minimal configuration options 😤 (am I thinking of a different old file manger? possibly…? 🤔)

I’ve been toying around with different distros in VMs & find #Dolphin OK enough that I’ve installed it on my actual current-but-soon-to-be-ex #PopOS† install, but it’s from #KDE-land so doesn’t understand #GNOME light / dark mode & consistently blinds me… 🕶️

I’m enjoying #Debian 13 KDE atm, & it seems like it will probably support the old (beast) laptop I’m using for all things Linux

I think I found #Thunar OK when I was playing with an #XFCE install on something recently but really need to revisit it & I’m not sure that it’ll integrate well if I end up running KDE #Wayland rather than… well, XFCE 🤪 (or anything else GNOME-y)

so frens… what do y’all recommend? 👀

pls #boost4reach 🙏
 
 
 
^ FFS, stop naming stuff using actual existing words! you’re not helping anyone! 🤪

† a.k.a. “Pop!_OS” but gosh I loathe the way they styled that distro name 🤮

A'm aye a fan o beasties, sae lang as we ilka haud oor jeeg scowth.

(A'm nae native spikker.)

It doesn’t occur often, but when it does, it brings a smile to my face. This is my error page served from the proxy when the backend can't process the requests (or is unavailable).

Why bother with #Linux, when there's serviceable, established, free #UNIX, called #Beastie #BSD👹? Linux—that's so 1990s. The 1960s UNIX's where it's at.

OK, I'm just asking for it. Let it rip.
