You could say she added some Polish to it.

I'll see myself out.

Okay, not a Linux bug in the kernel, but one that has existed in the Enlightenment window manager E16 since 2006

😐

I can’t scroll this site without getting floating popups for Comcast in Spanish. It’s so annoying having to turn on Adblock for the shit tier sites

I imagine her being annoyed as a baby but being taken from the computer by her parents. Thus a lifelong resentment of computers and Linux had formed until she finally was able to overcome it and fix the bug.

Man, i remember when I first manged to properly install enlightenment on SUSE. I knew almost nothing about linux. It was just pure trial and error from dependencies to proper drivers. I felt so proud when I finally got it working.

Anyone know what that theme is? https://itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w1000/2026/04/desktop-e16-2.png

and if there's a KDE equivalent...

I didn't, but I spent 5 minutes to research, and it's the BlueSteel theme.
It isn't available on KDE.
