As clearly evidenced, i'm not an OS expert, but that KDE Neon project seems much like how Windows rolls. Correct me if i'm wrong, but Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10 all share a near identical kernal and...

Thanks for the advice/info. The commentary on <5.4 seems pretty negative. I suppose it's too much to expect all those issues and doubtless many more to have been resolved in 5.5. God i wish so much...

Hi everyone,

I'm only a dabbler with Linux. I've been keeping my eye on KDE Plasma 5x for a while because it looks so good, but pre 5.5 i read about a lot of bugs. I haven't been keeping up since...

Yes, being able to program my Logitech mouse/keyboard in Linux would be nice.

It's the sort of article one just stumbles upon. I don't pretend to really understand it.

I've been having an ongoing conversation with my friend about Linux, who is also a fan but is terribly...

I guess no one knows?

Hi everyone.

I play games. I was pleasantly surprised when i fired up steam that of the ~70 games in my library, ~30 are available in Linux. Including - now - Arma 3 - wow!! (bring on Squad and...

Yeah, except Dvorak with QWERTY shortcut/super keys :D

Hmm, i seem to have fixed it by going to the Network section in Settings and launching from there. Now it seems to work everytime.

Bizarre and stupid imo.

Hi, i seem to have this problem with Linux and Ubuntu in particular where i simply can not connect my laptops (tried two) to my network. I've tried a couple of different distros, though i think...

The fastest typer in the world uses Dvorak for 212wpm :)

I'd been typing QWERTY for about 20 years and decided to learn Dvorak....

I haven't been playing with Linux/Ubuntu much lately. I've also stopped using Dvorak and gone back to QWERTY which, frankly, just feels wrong now. It's not the speed or familiarity, it only took a...

Hi guys, thanks for continuing to look into it. I'm sure for you it's more of that Linux mindset "what the hell is going on, how do i fix it?!" than "i sure want to help that guy" :) I had actually...

So basically you're saying "do something manually, that won't produce the desired outcome, after learning how to do it that way and put up with it. Rather than do it automatically without having to...

I see that was registered in 2007. Any progress on it or equivalent? I'm a Linux noob, and while i like Libraries in Win7 i have long thought that tagging all files is the next step... but i've not...

Done. For what it's worth, i voted it up.

I'm new to Linux, but i cannot find an easy, intuitive way to group my local and NAS stored files so they are easily viewable in one place. I have to...

Do you think this is a suitable alternative? It sounds like you do. Basically what you're saying is that my 73 year old dad should learn how to use symlinks, after first not knowing they exist or...

Codcritter64, i thought they were not there before (a couple of days ago), but now i see they are.

OK, so that works for the original purpose, being able to upload networked files via a bowser....

How do i right-click a folder i can't see? Can i temporarily unhide it? I'm guessing in 'terminal', but i don't know how.

And if it's empty, what does that mean?

Thanks, i'm using Ubuntu (Unity) 12.04, the NAS is a Synology DS411j.

I think i found it here:

/home/me/.gvfs

But it's empty.

Hiya,

I'm having trouble understanding how Ubuntu, and programs that run in it see, remember and use network folders. I'm pretty experienced with Windows, and this seems foreign.

When i boot,...

I would personally prefer a global setting that can then be individually customised. I really hate having to set every folder i set foot in to "compact".

Windows XP was awful at this, but Windows...

I'm sure it's been said over the last 11 pages: Libraries.

I have files in multiple locations, locally and on a NAS, Windows Libraries make it very easy to view several locations in one view....

G'day Aaron. The QWERTY shortcuts came about because when i was learning Dvorak, the thing that annoyed was the cut/copy/paste. I found a solution in Windows via AutoHotKey and never had to worry...

Wow, that's very gracious of you. Thank you very much, i appreciate it.
