I have 90 apps installed!! Fills almost 3 and a half pages of GNOME's app list.

These are apps that create desktop icons. If I count all the Libreoffice icons then it comes to 96 apps. 82 of them are Flatpaks, the rest came preinstalled with Fedora Silverblue.

And to think many moons ago I used to dislike GUI applications so much. Now I can't live without them.

Massive respect for all the people making Linux system more user friendly!

@onbywill TIL that run0 (the systemd sudo alternative) uses the "superhero" emoji (🦸) in the prompt. It also likes to make things pink.

Soon journalctl might be full of emojis...

TIL `systemd-analyze security` shows your services with emojis and makes unit names clickable so you can pop open their configs right from the terminal. Who knew Linux came with built‑in emoji judges?

I've added an Editor's Choice section to the homepage. Currently, it features applications I typically install first, but I’d like to involve the community in deciding which apps should be highligh...

What's wrong with these people? I get it, you love the Desktop Environment you use. But do you really have to express it/shame others wherever you can add a comment?

Seriously people, GROW UP!

Imagine being mad at GNOME because KDE messed up GNOME's settings.

I was trying to open "+layout.ts" file with `less`. But kept getting "Missing filename" error.
Turns out `less` sees the `+` as an option, not part of the filename. 🤦‍♂️

The fix:
- Use `less -- +layout.ts`
- Or `less ./+layout.ts`

Escaping the `+` with `\+` or quoting the file name does not work.

Problem solved! Sharing in case anyone else stumbles on this.

So I accidentally found out that, I can actually refresh my feed on Tuba by Left mouse click and dragging down. I did not know that existed.

I'm very happy right now 😄
