Still, if KDE does it nicely out of the box, it might be worth supporting.<br /><br />Re lower tolerances for brokenness, I think it just gets less fun to debug over time. Surprise breakage becomes an obstacle to the current task, instead of a fascinating exploration of the system.<br /><br />That, and with Ubuntu in particular, it tended to break samba printer sharing and then Julie would pester me until I got it fixed. Even "working", if my computer was off, Windows would freeze up for a minute whenever it tried to enumerate printers for any reason. So I bought a print server, put the printer directly on the Ethernets, and uninstalled Samba.sapphirepawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08959423651720108923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3922219755971684412.post-1955269347385309482012-02-05T22:31:54.259-05:002012-02-05T22:31:54.259-05:00Thinking about your last parenthetical: I'm i...Thinking about your last parenthetical: I'm in the same boat (again hence the mac).<br /><br />What do you think it is about time that causes us to be less tolerant of minor breakage and being forced to tweak crap to get it to work?<br /><br />I can recall, when you and I were both running gentoo for heaven's sake!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223801443691271805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3922219755971684412.post-27100798022248221902012-02-05T22:23:10.998-05:002012-02-05T22:23:10.998-05:00I don't wanna disappoint, but the Alt-tabbing ...I don't wanna disappoint, but the Alt-tabbing in unity is borked too.
