The genius thing about it is the way it fully utilizes the whole width of a display, with the post content appearing in between the list of posts and the sidebar. I haven't seen another Lemmy/Kbin UI that does this.

It might only be suitable for widescreen desktop use, but it does that one thing very well.

In that case, you'd also want Lygisk instead of Magisk, to automatically have root reinstalled after every OTA upgrade. (Lygisk is a fork of Magisk, you get the same functionality otherwise)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Lygisk is a blanket recommendation for all devices running Lineage OS. I believe it's for A-partition-only devices, so phones with A-B should use Magisk instead.

💯 checking out the admin of a Fediverse instance you want to join is a good idea. Do they communicate with their users? Do they seem responsible ? Do they have any previous experience as a network admin? Lemm.ee was an obvious yes on all counts.

The admin for vlemmy.net was the complete opposite and look how that turned out.

But they also say that the classic "floating" window state would still be one of the three options. In this case, this would effectively allow users to keep the "standard" behavior if they want.

It may not be of interest to you personally, but the growing popularity of tiling window managers means there's a lot of demand for this type of feature.

As long as they give the user the ability to opt out/in, what's the harm in introducing it?

It's not true to say their use cases are just "children and old people"; they're saying that while it's more of a obstacle to ease-of-use in those groups, all users have to manually relocate poorly placed application windows.

If the OS can remove the need to do that, it improves workflow.

I use about ten different extensions that all add useful functionality, but the absolute deal breakers are 1) indicators for apps that require a system tray, 2) GSConnect to transfer stuff between my computer and my phone, and 3) clipboard history. I can't survive without those.

Gnome without extensions?? I could never.
