The good thing about Dolphin is you can have the real tree following your navigation. Want to go up a few levels, just click once, directly where you want to go next. None of this up, up, up nonsense. Great for snooping in many different folders in quick succession.

As more people commute, simple commuter bikes will dominate. It might be boring, but for many, cycling is for getting from a to b. Not some exciting novelty, but an everyday tool. For me, a basket on the back is the best thing ever. Never wear a backpack and get a sweaty back. And somewhere to chuck the lock, or extra layer or gloves. Brilliant.

Set a large pencil brush size and click a large black dot. Then make the brush smaller and white, then click once in the middle.

sure. those are reasons it's missing some stuff. But I was referring to other important things also missing from Windows. Which is what Linux seems to follow. Linux has a great opportunity to break away, and come up with something really good. But sadly, there will be reasons not to, I suspect.

AutoCAD might be widely used at the lower end, where many just create a sketch and extrude it. But that is no good for car or aircraft design, where you need high end smooth shape commands, and high productivity workflows.

Great. But AutoCAD and Solidworks are not high end CAD. Acceptable for some I guess. But we need serious CAD.

We have to use Windows at work for our high end CAD. There's no FOSS alternative.

I use Linux at home. Which is basically a, less crap, copy of Windows. But is still missing important stuff.

I'm not saying its the aliens, but I have heard they've been buying stuff, including LoRa gear, off AlienExpress

Lease out the prisoners for manual labour. Include shackles in the leasing price. This would save prison costs, make money, and we can all say Trump brought back slavery.

You could be surrounded by cool people all chatting away. You'll never know, unless you buy a device. I have absolutely no need for one. But I've ordered one out of curiosity. I'm actually quite excited about getting it. Later, I might get bored and disconnect.

Why not both? It's simple to install both and decide for yourself. I use both for different tasks.

I'm also not a text first person. There are a lot of us about. I have found GUI applications to do most commands I need. Most IT users don't know them, as they've never searched for them. I pin the apps as Favourites in the launcher, to help remember my processes. The apps typically keep the last used values, making them quite productive.
