    It really is.

    I’ve been a Unix maximalist since I can remember, but I’ve never convinced my peers to follow.

    Since windows 11 has dropped, every single one of them now has a Linux machine for one purpose or another. Some are now considering a complete purge of MS products, as I have.

    It’s happening.

      Sure there is: Sometimes it doesn’t boot. And nobody can deny that it’s been great for driving linux adoption!

        Dolphin seems to have that feature. Menu (the three lines button in the top right) > Show Panels > Information
