We love to praise linux constantly and tell everyone to change to it (they should) but what are your biggest annoyances ?

Mine would be, installing software (made even more complex by flatpaks being added, among the 5 other ways there already were to install software) and probably wifi power management issues.

Naming, like in the general sense, it seems like many software have some ridiculous names (dolphin, ncmpcpp, gimp, foot, gnome)

For dolphin, if your talking about the emulator it is avalible for windows too and its called that since thats what the gamecube was called internally.

For gimp, yeah i hate the name too, its the "gnu imange manipulation program" and is also avalible for windows.

Those programs that look like random assortments of characters are generally libraries that other programs use to standarize functionality across programs. Don't want there to be 15 different ways for your computer to understand "write this file to this location" for example. You'll generally never need to know what they are or what they do.

Exactly. Anyway, I was referring to KDE's file manager(Dolphin).

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

Ah, I don't use KDE, that is a dumb name for a file manager.

I'm a perpetual child so I like Gimp. Lol
