@nicknonya If it truly is "different" you want, take a look at stuff like Tiny Core Linux, MenuetOS, or ReactOS. If you want a bit more milder different, may go with a BSD/UNIX. There's loads of really weird stuff out there if you dig around a bit. Or just plunder DistroWatch for somethin that strikes you. Who knows, you may just find a new comfortable on yer journey. 😁

@flork Granted it's listed in a mimeapps.list file, you should easily be able to pull the program name out of there by querying against the file in question's mimetype.

And while "can't be easily done" may be generally true, don't call it quits; some file managers may offer less "not easy" than others. Don't end your customization exploration because the file manager you currently use can't do what you want, try fiddlin round with some others. The process for each file manager is going to be different, and getting the name of the program for any filetype is also going to differ depending on the syntax required for altering each different file manager.

@barbara Is bash itself not already an improvement on ""the basic stuff""?

...and whitespace in filenames is simply unacceptable, and should not be encouraged. 😆

What's wrong with the method we've been usin forever of working with dumbly named files? Just "enclose em", or use\ an\ escape\ char in em.

@thelinuxEXP @Jayjader @V0ldek I'm perty sure review is the other half of that same task that folks want to pawn off on AI.

@perishthethought You could very easily use #Lutris as a launcher for each game! Just set them up as you were launching a single game from the terminal. As far as a 3rd party GUI goes though, #RetroArch really is the most straight forward yer gonna find. Setting it up is not as huge an undertaking as it first appears. I'd be happy to help you get it configured if you need, just holler.

@Sunny @minamoog It'd be hard to argue for anything against #portage! The only time it's not pleasing to look at is when it's littered with [ B ] markers. 😆

@HouseWolf Maybe try testing the hardware on a known working system.

@twinnie Everything @d3Xt3r said, plus, #wayland just aint quite there yet. Do yer gamin in #X with #amdgpu and be happy.

@wwwgem I've been extremely pleased with @tuxedocomputers in both product quality and support. Next laptop will assuredly be another from them.

@imgel I wouldn't consider #e16 a DE (still count?); but using that, I prefer having a frame-only window decoration. I use a simple #xdotool line in my #conkyrc to display the currently focused window.

${exec 'xdotool getactivewindow getwindowname'}

I've also used a combination of xdotool, randr, and eesh in the past to do tiling and arrangement.

@SeekPie Sometimes different, sometimes similar. Look into different software you enjoy using and find out what's needed. If it's something you can provide, and you feel like doing so, go fer it.
