Over the years there's been a growing part of me that's wanted to be a full-time Linux user. I've been using Windows from the beginning and attempted to switch to macOS a few years ago (given the excitement of M1) however I gave up after 8 solid months because I came to dislike some issues that I couldn't circumvent in macOS. Due to some fear, impatience and most importantly, software compatibility, I have not made the switch to Linux, but times have changed. I've played around with the big distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc.) in some way or another. I've grown extremely comfortable with Bash, the command line and have the confidence in working my way out of issues (a lot of this is due to the hardware business I was involved with for 7 years which sharpened by skills). I've dealt with installing Nvidia drivers in every which way too (if you know, you know). Whenever Ubuntu releases an LTS version, I tend to experiment with it and I did so last night with 24.04. Really annoying things like not being able to move the taskbar from the left to the bottom without having to use extensions that could break, are now natively supported (IIRC you couldn't do this so easily before). That sounds like a minor nit-pick but if there's something I know about myself, it's that if I don't have to reprogram my muscle memory, I will have an easier time. The mouse movement feels Windows-like (this truly annoyed me with macOS despite trying every program and tweak in existence) and font rendering doesn't seem to bother me as much as macOS. Again these seem like minor nit-pick type things but to me they matter. At this point, it comes down to software compatibility. I'm not some hardcore Office user and I barely use it beyond basic word processing, so that's not an issue. The only other software suite is Adobe CC. I do rely on Photoshop and Illustrator, but not for "creating" but rather tweaking. I've built some muscle memory with those apps as well but I can't let them hold me back. I know Photopea exists which many have raved about being a great Photoshop alternative and which supports PSD quite well from what I've heard. So that's always an option combined with Gimp or Krita if I don't have to deal with actual PSD files. Maybe I'll set up a VM with Windows to help ease the transition. So at this point, there's nothing holding me back. I installed Ubuntu 24.04 on my main system along-side Windows (dual boot). In a couple months, I will try to switch. Any other desktop Linux users here? BTW, I'm sticking with Ubuntu because I like how it's Debian-based. I know there's some disagreements with snaps being used, etc., but because it's the most popular Linux distro and feels polished enough and similar to Windows, it's the best place to start (and maybe stay).

Having exactly the same experience with vim keybinds. Haven't really bothered switching. As for terminal filemanagers, the keybinds are fully configurable. And yazi comes out of the box with hjkl and arrow keys. same here ? I'm on the same path there. But it is really hard. Especially getting away from Google. So many websites that offer easy login, some map API keys for my clients etc. But on the Smartphone, I'm running Lineage for MicroG for about 1 year now. It is pretty great. Some apps, like OpenAI and one of my banking apps, are not installable though, due to them requiring Play Secure or some BS service from the playstore. Might work with the next upgrade of the OS...

A module for generating and serving AVIF files:

Yes, this is my preferred way to keep Windows around once I fully switch. A better alternative to using Windows in a VM or dual booting. Hardware is cheap!

For 20+ years I've always maintained a Windows box and a Linux box connected via a KVM switch and with a dual monitor setup. I also have a somewhat older Intel IMac I keep for various tasks. I haven't given it much thought as I regularly switch between Linux and Win10 throughout the day. As far as distros go, I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 KDE and will probably upgrade (clean install) after summer sometime. My $0.02...

Hi @Spinbox, Sorry for my slowness! I should have updated you earlier. I ran into some issues. In the end, I decided to stop trying to reinvent the wheel and use a well-tested library. I have now implemented the Money for PHP library. It is a great little library. I wish I had done this sooner. The delay is due to the many places in Padloper code that need changing. The bulk of these are in order line items and I have finished that bit. The rest is in whole order values (totals, subtotals, etc.) and discounts. I am hoping to be done by the weekend. Thanks.

Here! Moved away from Mac over a decade ago and went with Windows for quite some time. Then about 6+ years ago I made the switch to full-time Linux. Never looked back. Enjoyed distro-hopping between Ubuntu, Fedora, Manjaro, Debian, Arch, Zorin and finally settled with Ubuntu because of the broad support even for tools like ScreamingFrog (.deb and .rpm). Moved away from Gnome to i3wm to have a super minimal environment. Everything works just by pressing keys - from moving windows around workspaces, opening or starting apps, to window tiling. I am a happy camper now. ? As you are on Ubuntu as well I suggest looking at deb-get - a little helper to install most common apps without hunting down the .deb files: https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get/blob/main/01-main/README.md You may have seen over on X/Twitter the journey of DHH He released his very own setup as a script to make tons of changes, installing software, fonts, and all kinds of stuff. See here: https://x.com/dhh/status/1798466733222838758 His journey explained here: https://x.com/dhh/status/1799185008378171885

KDE Plama user here and very happy with it (currently KDE Neon but sometimes Kubuntu). I do also own a Mac becasue we sometimes build apps which needs me to use XCode, and I have a laptop that I can dual boot into Windows but I can't even remember the last time I had to do that and most of my day is spent in Linux. I'd agree that the main drawback is the gap in graphics software. I use Affinity Designer on the Mac which is great, but whilst it nearly runs in Wine it's not quite there yet. Apart from that my development stack on Maxc and Linux is pretty much identical so it's dead easy to swap between them. The designers I work with nearly all use Figma these days so it's been a while since I was given a PSD anyway (which Affinity Desginer deals with very well). You should definitely give Plasma a go if you want to be able to tweak your desktop .... although I warn you will spend a lot of time tweaking your desktop ....

Yes, I switched from Windows to desktop linux in 2004 and have not regretted it. I do have a Windows VM for running one legacy app, which I boot once every 2 months and run for a few hours. Apart from that I also use DDEV to run local development containers (thanks for the pointer @bernhard) and am using the Cinnamon desktop - which I do prefer over gnome.

And all I can think is: "Wow... that's a super nice and clean backend he build there!" But yes. It can be confusing to see how simple (as in clean and streamlined) things can be.

Hi @rooofl! What are your goals? Is SEO a conсern? Best practices should always help achieve a goal. Anyway, let me add some options to go under "something else": Create a template for projects and out put nothing there but a link to the main page. Optionally restrict its indexing. Make sure no links point to that page (take care of breadcrumbs if you have them). This way noone but freaks who like to modify the url bar in the browser will ever get there. Same as 1 but add a redirect. You could put it in the template file for projects with something like this. Maybe with 303 or 307 code. If you really care about the beauty of the urls, could make use of url segments and make your project pages be accessible as home/project1. But that would require some work. You could put something useful on the projects page' Like a search box.

Lister Selector A Process module that uses Lister/ListerPro, but with a selector string input instead of the normal InputfieldSelector filters. Features For power users, typing a selector string is often faster and more intuitive than fiddling with InputfieldSelector. It also lets you copy/paste selector strings that you might be using somewhere else in your code. Allows the Lister rows to be sorted by multiple fields (not possible in Lister/ListerPro) Allows the use of OR-groups (not possible in Lister/ListerPro) If ListerPro is installed you can run ListerPro actions on the listed pages - the available actions are defined in the module config. Bookmarks can be configured in the module config and accessed via the flyout menu for the module page. For your convenience you can copy/paste a bookmark string from the note at the bottom of the Lister Selector results. Usage Type your selector string on the Selector tab. The selector is applied when the "Selector string" field is blurred, so hit Tab when you have finished typing your selector. Unlike Lister/ListerPro, you can't sort results by clicking the column headings. Control the sort within the selector string instead. Superusers can jump to the module config (e.g. to create a bookmark) by clicking the cog icon at the top right of the module interface. The module is mostly intended for use by superusers, because in most cases site editors won't understand the ProcessWire selector string syntax. If you want another role to be able to access Lister Selector then give the role the "lister-selector" permission. Only superusers can define bookmarks because in ProcessWire module config screens are only accessible to superusers. Screenshots Process page Module config (when ListerPro is installed) Advanced If for any reason you want to create dynamic bookmark links to Lister Selector for a given selector you can do that like this: /** @var $pls ProcessListerSelector */ $pls = $modules->get('ProcessListerSelector'); // Define selector $selector = "template=foo, title%=bar"; // Define columns (optional) $columns = 'title,modified'; $pls_link = $pls->getProcessPage()->url . '?bm=' . $pls->urlSafeBase64Encode($selector . ':' . $columns); echo "<a href='$pls_link'>My link</a>"; https://github.com/Toutouwai/ProcessListerSelector https://modules.processwire.com/modules/process-lister-selector/

This is a module I made as an experiment a while ago and never got around to releasing publicly. At the time it was prompted by discussions around using Repeater fields for "page builder" purposes, where the depth feature could possibly be used for elements that would be nested inside other elements. I thought it would be useful to enforce some depth rules and translate the depth data into a multi-dimensional array structure. I'm not using this module anywhere myself but maybe it's useful to somebody. Repeater Depth Helper This module does two things relating to Repeater fields that have the "Item depth" option enabled: It enforces some depth rules for Repeater fields on save. Those rules are: The first item must have a depth of zero. Each item depth must not be more than one greater than previous item depth. It provides a RepeaterPageArray::getDepthStructure helper method that returns a nested depth structure for a Repeater field value. Helper method The module adds a RepeaterPageArray::getDepthStructure method that returns a multi-dimensional array where the key is the page ID and the value is an array of nested "child" items, or null if there are no nested children. Example The module doesn't make any assumptions about how you might want to use the depth structure array, but here is a way you might use it to output a nested unordered list. // Output a nested unordered list from a depth structure array function outputNestedList($depth_structure, $repeater_items) { $out = "<ul>"; foreach($depth_structure as $page_id => $nested_children) { $out .= "<li>" . $repeater_items->get("id=$page_id")->title; // Go recursive if there are nested children if(is_array($nested_children)) $out .= outputNestedList($nested_children, $repeater_items); $out .= "</li>"; } $out .= "</ul>"; return $out; } $repeater_items = $page->my_repeater; $depth_structure = $repeater_items->getDepthStructure(); echo outputNestedList($depth_structure, $repeater_items); https://github.com/Toutouwai/RepeaterDepthHelper https://modules.processwire.com/modules/repeater-depth-helper/
