Righteo, good. Now there's only one more remaining black mark against your name which we need to work on; that pixie, no, elvish, nope, fairy, uh-uh, gnome thing wot you got masquerading as a DE :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:
ok gg what do you use? what do you recommend to remove the blackmark?
i'm really efficient with my setup and have been for several years, but i'm not at all opposed to trying something else since i'm neither stubborn nor a gnome-it-all.
i3 was what i liked best before gnome because of the tiling, but i found going from tile to float a bit awkward, as well as scripting in i3 lingo ... much prefer (z)sh for configuration as i do now with gnome.
And there was much rejoicing.
that chrome being the eye of sauron will go down as a classic!!

No no, i'm only teasing of course ...
oh ok and here i was contemplating a major change ... after all, how can i resist a lotr aficionado who uses such references so creatively!
gnome never used plasma did it? i thought that was only kde, but i don't remember. kde 3.4 was a beauty! after that everything started crashing for me.
i tried openbox, but didn't see the point of using it over dwm or i3. i figured if i was not going to use a tiling manager, i might as well get one that has a lot of goodies. used it on a old laptop many years ago with a minimal linux called crunchbang i think.
the thing is that 20 yrs ago with pentium3 machines the de made a different which is why xfce was popular, but with the faster machines these days, i'm not sure it's noticeable. interestingly enough, some years ago i was very surprised to see that gnome-terminal's benchmarks out did some of the smaller, lighter terminal programs.
anyway, if you ever want to go gnoming, i have a pretty good config (well for me anyway).

Now can i get back to my grocery shopping pl-ease?
of course! i should have realized that since we just got our online groceries done a couple of hours earlier - had to get it ready before midnight or can't pick up on monday!
i see you like computing on the edge!
i will have to learn to do that at some point - my son was like that and every time something broke he was happy to have a chance to fix it. i survived that phase though! -

Did you simply decide to hit random keys there?
Can you find the link here? :smiling_cat_face_with_open_mouth:

What? Do you mean that it's actually not commonplace globally to wear a roller-skate on one's head?
Must ... not ... OT

How very dare you! Humpfh! I passionately eschew edge, brave, & chopera.
oooops! i thought i was going to pay for that edge statement when i woke up in the middle of the night!
though edge and brave both use the same blink engine vivaldi does, so i should be partially forgiven.
@potmeklecbohdan
i'll let my son know - i think he will be pleased.@TbGbe
yes i'm beginning to see what you mean ... it is quite a feet! -

IMO Snapshot is where the real fun's at,
and needed functionality as i just found out.
i can script this sort of thing:
% chromium ~/pradocs/praducate/program/clojure/Clojure-Brave.pdf
and used to be able to do this:
% vivaldi-stable ~/pradocs/praducate/program/clojure/Clojure-Brave.pdf
but after the last Suy stable will only download the pdf or open in my resident pdf application
however!!
% vivaldi-snapshot ~/pradocs/praducate/program/clojure/Clojure-Brave.pdf
works just fine!
guess that's what you meant when you said stable is the snapshot ... albeit for a short time.i don't quite understand why stable doesn't let me open local pdfs though, especially considering chromium and firefox do.
anyway, i've switched to snapshot and presume as i Suy it will always be a snapshot and hence let me open pdfs.

definitely urban mythology!
probably suburban mythology too!!you were correct on all counts including who wrote what!
my apologies to @potmeklecbohdan and thx for the explanations!i shall be nixing stable in a snapshot!

Ooh, sounds almost browserishly incestuous...
well it is unix, so i suppose all these os and their apps are siblings of some sort and browserishly does start with bro, so you may have a potential point.

three browsers walked into a bar...
and the bartender greeted them:
"how's it going, internet deplorer!"
"got it together, crumb!"
"feeling edgy, wedgie!"take it away, gg!! ...

Oh i couldn't possibly top your Brave contribution here.
but you just came up with that one in a blink and with such enginuity!
Your poetry is actually rather Operatic, y'know?
well i do try to find contextual links as well as categorical lynx!

@pradagio OMG This is TORture!!

first browser says Ouch.
the second browser says Ouch.,
The first browser says Didn't you see me do that?
Ping, Clang, clunk, clunk is heard again and again as
the third browser bangs head on the bar.
third browser says Cannot hurt the chromedome.
A fourth browser jumps over the bar.(?)
