Just writing this for people who’d want to know: hoshi (星) is the daily, common word used to refer to stars and planets. This is the most common word that someone would use to refer to a star. However, for science, more precise terms do exist: wakusei (惑星) for “planets” and kousei (恒星) for “stars”.
You use Fahrenheit in Vietnam?!
I’m pretty sure you can live without the minimize button. I’ve used Gnome for 3 years and I’ve never felt the need to minimize a window. Even now after I switched to KDE Plasma a few days ago, I still don’t minimize windows.
it might just be me but he lowkey looks hot
You have to explore every room before descending to the next floor. You will find items that help you on your voyage.
I’m using openSUSE Tumbleweed with Gnome as of now, but plan on switching to Fedora on my next laptop. I would continue using Tumbleweed if it were not for that every 5 system updates (zypper dup) or so Konsole and some 20 other related k-packages gets automatically installed for some reason. This started happening like 1 year ago and the only solutions I were able to find were just to keep removing (zypper rm -u) it every time or just lock (zypper addlock) it.
a reboot on your computer only takes 3 seconds longer than a logout and login?! I don’t reboot often, but on my computer, during a startup from powered off state, even just getting the Grub menu to show up takes 3 seconds.
My laptop is 4 years old and I remember startup being much faster when it was newer though.
My openSUSE works without issues on my ThinkPad, including sleep. Back when I used EndeavourOS on a 2015 MacBook Pro putting it to sleep caused various problems (don’t really remember what).
That’s illegal in most places? Never knew that! In Japan, a lot of toilets in stores have signs saying “Employees may use this toilet too. Thank you for your understanding.” I’ve always been baffled by these signs and considered them unnecessary because isn’t it normal for employees to go to the toilet too? I didn’t even know that this can be illegal in some countries.
not sure if a virtual desktop is the same thing as workspaces in Gnome, but what I do is I only really open one window in one workspace. The first window I open since system startup goes into the first workspace, etc. Usually the first one is the browser (Librewolf).
Almost the same thing happened to me. I accidentally fucked up the internet connection in my home while in Japan, and I had to video call my mom to have her fix it. It was a pain for both of us, but thankfully it went rather smoothly. Thank you mom!
It’s not that difficult to remember which people use which messaging apps. I use Signal, Line, Whatsapp, Matrix, Telegram, heck even Instagram DMs with different people. I try to push people to Signal whenever I can though.
