  • Your generated answer contains no relevant information. You asked the bullshit machine incorrectly, as from the community it should be clear that OP is looking for a Linux related theme, and from the image it should be clear it’s a wm or de. Not a terminal. Not a Google Slide (wtf) or whatever.

    The only slightly relevant part was listing GNOME-Look and KDE Store.

    I’m not a luddite, this current AI technology is a nice and interesting tool, but please don’t bring it here this way. We are humans discussing a topic, we don’t need this off-putting and irrelevant wall of text. You gain nothing, we gain nothing, no VC fund behind lemmy, there is no incentive to generate content above all. Your karma means nothing, it’s only point is sorting comments in a thread.


  • If OP would be interested in an AI generated answer, they would just type the question there. It’s not something only you can do.

    And it doesn’t even answer the question, it sounds like the out of touch answers on microsoft support forum, why did you copied it here. You haven’t even read it? This is one of the worst usecase of an LLM I have ever seen.


  • There are different communities for answers like that, for general techsupport. Maybe OP asked it in a wrong place, but if it’s already here, and does not sound blatantly oftopic it should be answered in the spirit of the community.

    And the answer was also wrong, OP asked how to save as inverted, not how to open inverted.






  • I remember a lot of things were not working. For example I was a GNU screen user, and no terminal multiplexer could work at that time in WSL1. They added support to tmux after a while and I switched to that and never switched back, rest is history…

    The point is just like how not everything working ootb in wine, the same is true for the other direction.

    They would have to invest more work which costs money, but if they just ship the linux kernel, which is already written, and the users already bought big ssds and have highspeed internet, so they could just use that for free, it makes more sense, and makes more money to the shareholders







  • It wasn’t clear for me what the hell is a “Global Shortcut” I heard the term first time in my life, I found the answer in the upstream PR:

    It’s designed so that applications can register actions that can be triggered globally (i.e. regarless of the system’s state, like focus).

    It’s strange it wasn’t possible until now, or the main thing it’s now DE independent?

    On Gnome I use Run or raise extension, and with this I can run or switch to running apps with global shortcuts, so this was definitely working from Gnome extensions.




  • From the post:

    But first question, as someone who isn’t tech inclined and tinkering […] that runs out of the box without me having to install additional software manually or at least automatic setup wizards because like hardware

    Don’t recommend Arch to users who doesn’t want to tinker please. I know, I use Arch. Arch regularly requires user intervention, you should see them on the news: https://archlinux.org/news/ You can see, 3-4 times a year you have to fiddle with some settings, otherwise you can get an unbootable system.

    And that’s how we get “the (unrealistic) expectation I had of Linux was all command line stuff and techno babble.”
