I dont hate flatpak like i do snap though, except the extra space it takes up. ---

I installed the same wallpaper, lol! Who made this one, really nice! I think one major thing he left out of 7 things to do, especially with gnome are keybinds/shortcuts: Settings\>Keyboard\>Customize Shortcuts\>Custom Shortcuts - For example Terminal, command gnome-terminal, Shortcut Super+Return Etc… I use the same keybingds than i3wm, and if I want tiling, ```auto sudo pacman -S i3 ``` Edits: and of course if you are a kde lover, replace terminal by konsole, or use kde that works too. ---

The thing is, there will be people watching these videos who will think that EnOS is somehow deficient in its default state and end up borking their systems by installing a load of unnecessary software. My version of seven “must-do” things: 1. Read the wiki 2. Join the forum 3. Make a backup 4. Update your system 5. Use the OS for a while 6. Make and test a backup 7. Read about which bits of software do what, and then install them So there. 😛 ---

To précis this: before making judgments or changes, do some research! 😛 ---

I’ll never get that 10 min of my life back. (just kidding, I skimmed it) I guess I’ve been using EOS wrong, I definitely don’t do a lot of those things he said were must do. So, ya. Oh well. I’ve broken the internet. ---

> [@Beardedgeek72](#): > > I don’t use snaps, but I just reinstalled AGAIN, and today is one of those days when the Spotify package on AUR is broken, so I might have to install flatpak for one bloody package… Quoting myself here… I took the lazy way out, I am just using Spotify’s web player on Linux for now. 99% of the time I use it on my phone anyway, not the computer. ---

I use the web player most of the time, regardless of OS. Has all the functionality of the desktop app without the need to install, and I’ll have my web browser open anyway 🙂 ---
