It literally isn’t.

I’ve always had either problems with schedules or problems with environment because it has it’s own. Cron is fine as long as you are lucky. That isn’t to say there never were problems with timers, on debian 9, I think, shipped version of systemd had a bug where systemd-analyze parsed schedule correctly and timer just shit itself. But only for some specific case I can’t remeber which, but it was extremely frustrating to debug.

You can explain timers the same way.

And then with your explanation it goes: cron job doesn’t execute for reason, crontab -l lists not all jobs, someone else put cron job in whatever directory like cron.daily, you’ve added or removed empty line at the end and now nothing works, debian crond and redhat cronie ahave different quirks, etc., etc.

I’ve dealt with insane cron problems for so long that switching to timers was like *whoa i don’t need to suffer?*

So it’s really not the same workflow at all? Just this month I’ve explained to really smart people how to use corner tiling in windows and hotkeys, most people today don’t even own a PC. For me, personally, the difference is negligible, for a lot of people it’s really alien.

Which all of them, which cron implementation is simpler and better? Do you even use cron? It’s not a joke, explanation on how to use cron takes > 8 pages. It should be in the hall of fame of the least accessible and hard to learn programs. Lennart cancer is one of the greatest things that happened to linux.

get acquired

Why in passive? Weren’t they actively participating in acquisition?

It depends, what do you want to print?

I would buy another Elegoo CC or Sovol unless there is a multicolor requirement.

There are multiple tiling kwin scripts both manual, automatic, even scrolling.

Why did it make you angry? Do you believe that there are other implementations that do the task better and simpler?

It really isn’t. Starting from only having a close button on every window, windows behaving differently, not having a panel with currently running programs, etc.

I mean yeah there are windows and you can interact with them, but that’s where similarities end.

Agreed on debian general popularity but how many people install it on desktop/laptop? Ubuntu is hard to believe tbh, maybe ten years ago.

I’m not sure which are the most popular distros. Mint, Fedora, some arch derivative of the day?

Last version of gnome 2 was 2.32, I think, not 2.8.

Why?

Meh, plasma was stable enough by 4.4 (when I’ve switched from gnome 2), there were some problems, but gnome 3 released about that time wasn’t any better. I’m not sure about popularity of gnome, it was repeated a lot but personally I’ve met one person to this day that used vanilla gnome 3/4/5/50 not representative of course but it’s just weird that supposedly everyone is running it yet among the category of people that linux is most popular with it doesn’t show.

Is it really most popular?

It’s not more stable than plasma surely, at least when user does any customization.

Simplicity is questionable, unless simple means ‘unlearn everything and do it our way’.

It was made by m*scovites in m*scovia with fsb money, by the same guys that tried to copy facebook.

Well, you know, horses, grasslands, Wormtongue - Rohan!

I don’t think that RTS+hero started with warcraft, there were hero units in warlords series (better implemented I think) before warcraft.

Rich vampires would even subsidize it, because it will be a hellhole, due to it being an extremely controlled environment with alternative being death.
