Asking your local library to acquire a copy might sting a little less, even if they do purchase it through Amazon.

Ya know, I have three Linux machines that play games and a steam deck. I have not seen a survey in a very long time. I wonder why?

AND THAT’S NUMBERWANG! Time to spin the tapestry!

It’s an older meme classification, sir, but it checks out

Perhaps the ICP should appeal more to the everyday layperson…a gender neutral term coined in 1972, just seventeen years before the unrelated 1989 release of Belgian techno anthem, Pump Up the Jam.

Surely this one last permutation…

I will check out Polonium! Thanks!

I know you said Gnome, but if you are willing to look at Plasma, I’ve just started using Bismuth on KDE Plasma and I think it can do at least a chunk of that. It can set particular sizes with Window Rules, it looks to have a quite robust shortcut system, including resizing windows, swapping, rotating, or changing layouts. As for the focus vs open, KRunner lets you choose the active application when you type it’s name. There’s also this: https://github.com/academo/ww-run-raise but I have not used it and cannot vouch for that.

Don’t worry, if the bridge breaks there are two backup bridges conveniently located close by!

What are you doing with your machine that would be confusing for your standard end user? KDE out of the box is good enough for my daily driving. PopOS, Bazzite, and Mint work great. GUI options for most normal computing things you’d do these days. The amount of customization allowed on an end user’s machine is often minimal anyway. Plus, you sorta imply that the end user would be doing all this, instead of an IT admin preconfiguring a machine with Ansible or a custom install script. I think you may be over estimating what your typical business user does. It’s mostly “Here’s my chat, here’s my browser, here’s my 1-5 LOB apps, here’s my printer. Can I change my background to my kids? Great.”

Between cloud apps and RemoteApp technology, there is a pretty decent chance for Linux desktops with Windows servers becoming the norm, again, for smaller size businesses. Organizations I work with still use thin clients, which - what’s the difference? And based on end user reactions to the UI when upgrading to Windows 11 - all change is hard. They’d get used to it fast. Especially if it acts mostly like Windows 10.

It is…I would like a Fediverse video platform, but this one ain’t very cash money.

There are a couple ‘Other - Please Specify’ fields I definitely filled out with ‘Do not do AI’.

I haven’t seen that before, sounds like a bug report may be in order; maybe first look under the ‘Encryption’ section.

Under ‘Encryption’, check to make sure it shows your password is valid, and see if the number of decrypted items matches your other devices? Also, at one time I managed to have several encryption keys, see if it only lists the one or multiple.
