I've found that some people use Linux just to be apart of the "cool tech kids" on the internet. They don't understand how to use a CLI...

I hope that's true. If Linux has come this far to make PC life possible for the cool kids, I say welcome to each and every one of them.

You either spend your life really well or you have way too much time on your hands.

Either way I read your post with happy curiosity. 🙂

I love Vivaldi. Am sad it's Chromium. Wish Firefox would take a page out of Vivaldi's features book and innovation approach.

Agreed. Horrible news.

Hoping Syncthing-Fork will continue.

Good I'm on Tumbleweed then. 😁

Seriously, I will test it in a virtual machine.

Good point. Which distros handle it well?

I’m looking for a launch menu that has similar functionality as the Windows 10 Start Menu. While I don’t think Windows is the pinnacle of OS development, I did find the "Start" menu quite useful in organizing my apps by task group and importance. Specifically, I’m interested in the following features:

  • The ability to resize the menu.
  • The option to create my own application layout in named groups.
  • The capability to create folders with applications.
  • Optionally, the ability to resize various application tiles.

The Cinnamenu applet for Cinnamon comes somewhat close, but it isn't quite it. Does anyone know of an app, a DE or anything else on Linux that offers these features?

How do I launch the Profile Manager of Flatpak Firefox with Gnome 3? (lemm.ee)
 

I would like the Firefox profile manager to open when I run Firefox from the GNOME 3 menu, be it the DashBar or the native menu. I installed Firefox using Flatpak.

I know that I can run it from the terminal with flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox -p. But how do I modify the .desktop file? I guess it is the one in /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop? I tried replacing the line

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=firefox --file-forwarding org.mozilla.firefox @@u %u @@

with

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=firefox org.mozilla.firefox --ProfileManager

but I cannot save the document because of "too many symbolic links".

What is the secret?

I really wish Firefox would simply offer this as an option in its settings.

It's in the eye of the beholder, of course. But it would be great to see some solid recommendations.
