• best Distro for Noob

  When I started out, I used red hat, Suse linux, and then finally I jumped to Ubuntu, when they killed gnome and rolled out their new GUI later, I switched to Ubuntu Mate, with xfce alternatively installed. And then later came MINT. Which is based on ubuntu anyway. Source: 6 months ago

• Windows 10 support doesn't end in 2025 after all, if you pay up

  I'm partial to Linux Mint myself, but at this point, if you're not running some Windows specific software, there's less and less reason to use it every year. Source: 6 months ago

• Introduction

  My first Linux distro was PopOS and It was a refreshing experience. It was really easy to install, use, and game on. I distro hopped a few times to see what other linux flavors are like. These are the ones that I remember trying Zorin OS and Linux Mint. These ones looked mostly like windows and it was easy to use. At work, I gained most of my linux knowledge from docker and configuring / administrating RHEL... - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Why Linux Mint is the best Linux distribution

  If you have been reading some of the articles on my blog, you will have seen that I often talk about macOS or the Mac Mini. And this is because this is the preferred machine that I use for the development of multiplatform apps, however, my main operating system, the one I use "by default", the one I use for personal and professional management, the one I use for my tech experiments, is, and has been for the past... - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• Use Midnight Commander like a pro (2015)

  Shameless plug for my more modern alternative to Midnight Commander, https://fman.io. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Best symbols in folder names to pin an important folder up top?

  Use a file browser that supports jumping to a folder by frecency (examples: z (shell extension) or my-dired-recent-dirs() in my dired or https://fman.io/ for users that prefer graphical UIs). You will find out that you will prefer jumping to navigation when you're familiar with the concept. Source: about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Why aren't there any real alternatives to Electron?

  There are great alternatives. I used Python and Qt to create my file manager [1]. It's a tool that needs to start quickly so Electron was not an option [2]. I open sourced my build system for creating cross-platform desktop apps with it in minutes at https://build-system.fman.io/. 1: https://fman.io 2: https://fman.io/blog/picking-technologies-for-a-desktop-app-in-2016/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Explorer: Move selected files into a new folder (like on MacOS)

  And for the record, I think over the years I learned to like Finder... I guess I like the sheer simplicity (I use fman) and started to love it back in OS 9 and those lovable purple hues :P. Source: about 2 years ago

• Non-Commercial Licenses Are Non-Free Licenses

  Fman by Matthew Herrmann https://fman.io From what I've gathered, success has been mixed. Duplicacy seems to be doing well based on forum activity and release history. Fman never made much money. If I recall correctly the Fman author was turned off by the number of people who criticized it for being fully open-source and wished he'd stuck with a closed-source full commercial model. I'd like for the open-source... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
