Just this week I started using kitty as my terminal. Overall I have liked it and I really love the icat kitten so I can "cat" image files directly in my terminal.

I haven't yet figured out how to change my font color from white to amber (which has been a preference of mine). I've tried just setting color7 and color15 to the amber hex color that I like, but that isn't doing it.

The other thing I can't figure out is how to get it to stop updating the window title. I know most people probably prefer it, I just don't want it to change every time I change directories. There is an obvious preference for that in gnome-terminal and I can't figure it out in kitty.

I have been using OpenSSH and OpenLDAP to do password authentication for decades and just recently discovered this as an option. It is pretty simple to setup. Basically just extend your ldap schema with the public key attribute and then tell openssh to use it.

Would have been 3TB of data at any other search engine, but Microsoft bloats everything.

I have tried to like tiling window managers and for whatever reason, it just hasn't clicked for me. I have really come to like the way default Gnome works. That said, I have used material-shell for about 1/2 an hour, and so far this is the first time I can see myself actually liking a tiling window manager.

At the risk of being the guy who has used it for a minimal amount of time and starts complaining about it because it doesn't work like I'm used to...There are a couple preference things for me that I wish were a little different.

I like gnome's no-frills fullscreen. You only have the app and the top panel stuff. In material-shell, I can SUPER+ESC to get full screen, but I think I want to be able to just mouse-over to the left side to bring up the panel while in full screen. To get to anything at the panel I have to SUPER-ESC first. Which is ok, I'd just rather it optionally auto-hide.

Kind of the same as the left-panel, the top-panel workspace list looks especially jumbled when you have an app like a browser maximized. So you see the workspace list, then your titlebar, then your browser tabs. It just adds extra "business" that I would prefer to not see. And again, enabling fullscreen with SUPER+ESC basically gets me what I want so it's not that big of a deal.

Finally, I understand why people would like it, but for me I would prefer to not have the "+" in the workspace switcher at all. Or at least minimally have it skip being part of my SUPER+A/SUPER+D switching. I REALLY don't like it showing up when nothing is open on my workspace or when I have a vertical split workspace, and only one thing on the screen and it shows the "+" content window. I am so accustomed to just hitting SUPER and then typing the app that I want, its way faster to do that and I'd rather the whole "+" window go away.

All-in-all, I'm pretty satisfied with material-shell and will definitely be using it as my desktop.

That stupid placement thing is the "feature" I hate the most about onenote. Sometimes that is a benefit and the kind of note you'd want to make. But this seems like an easy fix of having two note types and being able to pick a global option of which way to default, and giving a drop-down option of what kind of note you wish to create if you wanted a one-off different than the default . Having it always be up to the user to place text frame objects is annoying when most of the time generic text notes is what you want.

I personally don't care for the skeuomorphic organization of notebooks, tabs, and pages. But maybe that's just me :)

WebDAV, Nextcloud, Dropbox and one drive are all supported sync endpoints.

Sadly there really isn't any sharing. I mean, you could possibly do it via sharing the same sync endpoint, but there is no control to what would be seen.

Yeah, it works but needs some serious help. Apart from it not acting like an iOS app at all, the one thing it REALLY needs is the "send to" support.

Personally I have been a fan of Joplin https://joplinapp.org for note taking. It is also markdown-based with all kinds of features and is MIT licensed.

Every time I tried a new IDE I always looked for the setting or plugin that makes it work like VI. I eventually decided instead of making my IDE like VI I'd use vim plugins and make it my IDE.

I think this was the page that started me down that path: https://realpython.com/vim-and-python-a-match-made-in-heaven...
