![]() Imagine opening system preferences, opening it and it stood there forever until you manually dragged it out. ![]() I'm not sure whether that changes anything about performance or battery life, but that's actually somewhat of a good thing, as if you minimise an app, you will NOT be able to alt+tab (command+tab) to it! It's insane! If you click the yellow minimise button you have to click on the docked icon again for it to pop back up.Īlso, I've had some trouble in Catalina and above where opening an app would just add it to the dock, as if that's what you wanted. When you option+click on an app to minimise it, you're actually not. So you're left with double clicking the file or folder to navigate into it. But here enter renames the file and F2 does nothing. Which you would do by pressing F2 on Windows. The enter key, believe it or not, is to RENAME a file. If you do have the key and want that feature then you need a third party program ("PresButan" works fine for that, just remember to add it to your login items otherwise you'll need to launch it manually every time).Īnd, finally, you cannot enter a folder or launch a file by pressing enter. If your keyboard is an Apple keyboard the key just won't be there, at least on smaller ones. You also cannot use the delete key on your keyboard to delete a file, there's another hot key for that (I think command+backspace?). Your other choice may be command+h to "hide", but that's not from the dock, so your muscle memory will be useless. If the application is the one in the front then you can option+click on the icon, but if it's not them you're gonna bring that application to the top and minimise the one that was focused before. You cannot minimize an open application just by clicking on the icon in the dock. You either double click on the application bar or option+click the green button. You cannot maximize a window using the green button, that's the full screen button. You have to hold down and move the file, then use command+tab to cycle through your apps, choose the one you want and let go of command+tab to then drop the item. As bad as Windows 11.ĭo you want to drag and drop a file from your desktop into an app? Such as your browser or Discord? You can't drag it to the icon in the dock and expect the application to come up to drop your item. If anyone could point me towards a step-by-step "How to install _ and get it to work in Linux" tutorial for noobs, I'd be very grateful.Actually, yes. I know there are a lot out there (I have KDevelop and Code Blocks installed, actually) but I can't get the damn compilers/targets/paths to work because I'm stupid. The only thing I'm missing is a program to write C++ in. It pretty much does everything I need and it's faster than Vista, too. I've got Ubuntu on my PC at home, alongside Vista. James is just irritated Ubuntu didn't support his old/special video card and his TV Tuner stuff didn't work. I realise this is responding to an old topic, but I thought I'd get it out there. We've all got iPods and they work with no problems, so why would I need to pay for an OS to do all this? My wife has it on her Acer Aspire One, and I have and Elonex OneT, with the 3mx distro installed. ![]() It's even installed on my kid's pc, they've never missed windows. I can email, type up docs, surf the net, and it all just works. ![]() I don't own a DV camera, so I don't care about that. I don't do any kind of pc gaming, so that's not an issue. I'm a windows programmer in my day job, but when I'm at home Ubuntu does everything I need. Sounds like a shameless plug but I've used shipit for a couple years now and it's great, and that's considering that although I can download the dvd in under an hour, having a real copy outweighs everything else. Just takes a month or so to deliver it, but it is free after all, even shipping. No wasted time downloading, burning etc and you have a real copy of it and some cool decals to cover those Windows ones on your PC. i386, 64 bit, you name it, it's all there all free. Seriously, you should use that free shipit service I linked to above and get yourself a couple copies of ubuntu. It's also very slow, I couldn't work out how to stop it being jerky, and it wouldn't install my display drivers. Then when I did find out, it wouldn't stop coming up with errors saying nothing can be installed. I installed it and couldn't work out how to do anything. I waited 27 hours for Kubuntu to download.
