I use dmenu as my main UI, not just dmenu_run.
Super+Space opens a small menu script that launches apps and system actions (WiFi, reboot, shutdown),
all keyboard-driven via sxhkd.
No panel, no mouse menus, WM-agnostic.
#!/bin/shCurious how many dwm users do something similar vs bars / mouse menus.

Todd C. Miller has been maintaining the #sudo codebase for over 30 years. This is exactly one of those cases where an entire critical infrastructure is held together by the work of a single volunteer who apparently can’t find anyone willing to sponsor him for some financial support. #opensource #linux #foss #GNU

dotAGE Review on Linux (Native): A Brilliant Take on Strategy and Survival: https://boilingsteam.com/dot-age-review/
#linux #linuxgaming #update #release #steamdeck #gaming #review #dotage #native
What's the most common complaint I've heard about Linux?
Not the installation process.
Not finding a distro.
Not getting programs to work.
Not troubleshooting.
Not hardware compatibility.
The most common complaint about Linux I've seen is this:
For a normal computer user, asking for help is just about impossible.
They ask a simple question and:
People respond "Did you Google it?"
People respond "RTFM"
People get mad??? at them for making an easy mistake.
We can't expect people to know to, or even know how to deal with any of that stuff.
Search engines these days are awful, manuals are hard to read for most people (especially stuff like ArchWiki), and normal people make mistakes we think are easily avoidable.
The solution to making Linux more popular is not ruthless promotion. The solution is to actually help the people who are trying to use it.
