The default file manager is /bin/bashdefault file manager
Now let me adjust the onion on my belt.
Yes, I'm well aware it hasn't always been that way. Luckily I've forgotten how to use pure sh or csh.

grayjay is my goto youtube clientA few years ago I found a Youtube client that had a bunch of features like subscription organization and stuff but can't remember what the software was. Any ideas?
launcher probably injects into it for modifications, a lot of modern fixes do that since games arent free software or anything like that, and we usually lose the source code.I recently played the PC port of Tony Hawk's Underground and I found both Wine and Proton would crash if I tried if I ran the game exe directly, but I got it working if I installed the game into a prefix and ran it through the launcher exe. Not sure what's up with that. The game run great but I suspect it wasn't reading my analog stick inputs 100% correctly, but if so I imagine that would be a problem on Windows too since it's a port from back when controller support on PC was ass and I'm using a PS4 controller.
oh yes, scummvm is very good. you can even play those games on your phone, if you'd like. im surprised its so well maintained, it seems like such a random project.I guess I've run Curse of Monkey Island, but that was through ScummVM, which everyone uses to play the games it's compatible with even on Windows.
i always forget wine has a desktop, especially since it closes with the game. i wish i could just run an instance of the wine desktop and install all my old windows games there.I got Halo CE working under Wine pretty easy myself, I just ran it with Wine. All I had to do was enable virtual desktop in winecfg and it ran without any problems on my dinky old laptop, maybe try that, it seems to fix a lot of window bugs.
try freetube or grayjay.A few years ago I found a Youtube client that had a bunch of features like subscription organization and stuff but can't remember what the software was. Any ideas?
Congrats, dumbest comment I've read on this website.Even though every consumer Linux OS puts an icon in whatever the default file manager for any removable media, just like Windows and Mac OS do, that's FAR too confusing for your 'typical user' who apparently doesn't use the GUI, and is so allergic to using the GUI, even for five seconds to see where (if it's anywhere that isn't /media) where media has been automounted.
I actually ran the setup.exe for Zuma in the virtual desktop and it installed and created a .desktop file just fine too. Both of those things did not exactly work OOB before I enabled it so it seems to fix a lot of issues with Wine, at least for me. I think you can just launch the shell or explorer on it's own if you want to as well.i always forget wine has a desktop, especially since it closes with the game. i wish i could just run an instance of the wine desktop and install all my old windows games there.
Just use lsblkEven though every consumer Linux OS puts an icon in whatever the default file manager for any removable media, just like Windows and Mac OS do, that's FAR too confusing for your 'typical user' who apparently doesn't use the GUI, and is so allergic to using the GUI, even for five seconds to see where (if it's anywhere that isn't /media) where media has been automounted.

There's a kind of reverse Dunning-Kruger effect that people like you experience, that the average skill and intuition of the population is higher due to your own skill and familiarity.This is also the selling point of Linux desktop distros (particularly Mint).
You know, this is a disconnect I didn't really think about between myself as a windows user and the average linux user: It's not just that it seems hard to adjust to, it flat out seems like a downgrade in the way linux does things versus the way windows does things for the average user. I've never heard of a package manager, and I don't understand why I would need one over just installing executables off the internet. Ricing? What style are you adding that's so cool it can't be added by a wallpaper, or if you are feeling really frisky by wallpaper engine? Does it matter that it's easier to solve hardware issues by using terminal commands over the labyrinth-like windows submmenus, when it's going to be the same choice of following the first result of a google search and you would have pictures telling you what to click over commands they don't understand?With all that being said, in the hands of an experienced user, yes, Linux really is that good despite what distro you choose. But there simply don't exist that many experienced users.
Sorry to post after 10 pages but bro why is this Tumblr tier shit mainstream now, I remember when this shit was laughed at in the past.New troon-coded Linux mascot just dropped (archived), this time for Ultramarine Linux:

so you can make it do the macOS startup sound?I recently discovered this oddity while snooping about the GRUB settings, apparently you can have GRUB play a tune with the PC speaker before the menu loads if you have it set on timeout/menu. The tune is entirely custom, one channel, chiptune and is set up entirely in GRUB's config (GRUB_INIT_TUNE) with this note pattern: ''tempo freq duration [freq duration freq duration...]'' I haven't heard anyone talk about this before, and probably because it's pointless. I guess it's some legacy feature from back when sound was more a roll of the dice on Linux? There's a few people who have shared some jingles and even entire songs. - Be aware that you can't skip it or do anything while it plays so if you put in some long ass bullshit you'll have to sit through the entire thing on full blast every time you boot.
The idea is not to waste time staring at terminal. It's that the cli is scriptable. You can make a bash alias, +x shell file, whatever. And reuse the scripts. $ mv * ~/Folder is easier than holding a shift key and dragging dropping all these files. Larry Wall calls it laziness impatience and hubris.I'm switching to it whenever I find time to sit down and play musical partitions: In news that that will surprise nobody, Manjaro has shat all over my dependencies again and I'm out of fucks to give and time to waste fixing the damn thing. @Croco if you want to spend all day staring at a terminal prompt you should give Manjaro a go.

I went with the Coin SFX (600 988 1 1319 4) myself that I just stole from the website, you can test + compose on the same website if you have the skills to do so.
I disagree.

That particular point seems pretty easy to explain to someone. A package manager means instead of having to look up individual sites to download programs from you can just open the terminal and type "install X" and X will be on your computer, and instead of needing to individually keep all these programs updated you can just periodically open terminal and type "update" and everything is updated. Pretty convenient.I've never heard of a package manager, and I don't understand why I would need one over just installing executables off the internet.
I briefly explored it years ago and said "lol no" as a daily driver. Great on some servers, though. Try it and see? There's definitely less support for it so it depends on you and your hardware I guess.
Thanks for the heads-up.I'm not saying don't install it. Just go into it with the right expectations. You will have to do more setting up than any Linux distro I have tried at least.
I was looking at OpenBSD as well, however, it does seem to be geared for a specific use, and FreeBSD more "generic", so I'll start there and see. And yes flatpak is cancer, Wayland I'm not sure - yet.I have used OpenBSD on a laptop before and it worked well. I used dwm on it just like on linux and it worked the same way. Wifi was actually easier to setup on openbsd than on linux, it's simpler in design. Same for audio. I might switch back to openbsd now that linux is being taken over by flatpak and wayland cancer.
Slackware is honestly a good distribution if you want something that feels more like one cohesive thing.Honestly, what I'd like is a system that's at least trying to be cohesive, not just random stuff slapped together. I know that's anathema to UNIX in general, but there are degrees to that.
What exactly is dumb about it? Most consumer-oriented linux flavours mount drives on /media (or /run/media because poettering, as you pointed out), MacOS mounts drives on /volumes/, and Windows mounts them as drive letters, but the thing that actually matters in the GUI world most users inhabit is whether they can click on an icon and get their stuff. They don't care about the implementation behind the scenes. They want their stuff. Even if they're advanced enough to be using a NAS, they don't care that it's mounted on /volume1 or whatever, because they're using the icon that has their stuff inside it.Congrats, dumbest comment I've read on this website.
I was looking up this exact feature just yesterday. Talk about synchronicity.I recently discovered this oddity while snooping about the GRUB settings, apparently you can have GRUB play a tune with the PC speaker before the menu loads if you have it set on timeout/menu.
MX works for this. It's the most coherently put together distro I've seen, at any rate.Honestly, what I'd like is a system that's at least trying to be cohesive, not just random stuff slapped together. I know that's anathema to UNIX in general, but there are degrees to that.
