and you can use that GDDR4 as RAM: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Swap_on_video_ram
Its called swap, but it just swaps to the GDDR4
Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.
HOW TO SELECT TEXT:
You don't have to keep the left-button of your mouse pressed and move the pointer to the ending of your desired selection. (you could even outrun the desired ending in this way)
INSTEAD:
1. Click at the beginning of the selection.
2. Scroll (if necessary) to whereever the end of your selection is.
3. Press shift and keep it pressed.
4. Click where you want to end your selection.
5. Release all the buttons.
Voila! The text is selected without any troubles.
It works in text editors (ie: editable text fields) and browsers (ie: read-only text fields) alike.
Yep, it's in just about everything, like Ctrl+F. Relatedly, most applications will select the whole sentence (or often the paragraph) if you double-click it.
I thought I was the only one using Maximize Vertically, and it came up in Desktop Environments lately, with a lot of folks seeming fairly excited about it.
I liked finding out that the default application for folders can be changed - I still need Nautilus, but Thunar is a lot lighter if I just need to pull up a folder from Places. Search and Run in the Gnome Menu, too (I use Tracker and XFRun4.)
I know I shouldn't use tildes for decoration, but they always make me feel at home~
Great thread!
My contribution: you can set a number of applications to autostart whenever your computer is turned on, just by adding their command-line call to Preferences -> Startup Applications (for instance the call to launch chromium is "chromium-browser")
If you are willing to spend some time reading DevilsPie documentations, you can even set them to open to a specific workspace at a specific position!
