  • News are reporting a new attack in Lebanon where devices caught fire and exploded, from radio to cars. Share the info you have

    Qustions

    Hi....

    • I don't know what to say in the introduction, but in brief I have some questions about Linux, which were formed after trying some distributions on DistroSea and observing Linux communities on the Internet. Can you help with the answer?
    1. I liked Gnome DE interface very much, but whenever I look at the empty workspace after closing an app , I feel that something is missing (sorry, I have been using Windows for almost 15 years). Is there an add on - or any other way - to install some apps on workspace? Or do I have to get used to it as it is ?

    2. I read that Linux is more problematic on laptops than on personal computers, is this true? If so...what are the usual problems and is there a way to avoid them?

    3. Are there any distributions that come with the minimum pre-installed apps ? ... I mean not even a video or music player

    4. If I want to delete a pre-installed app (let's say the default browser), can this be done easily or does it require root, like Android?

    5. Does rooting invalidate the system from obtaining updates?

    6. I read that switching DEs is easy... but how exactly is it done? Something in the settings, or downloading the interface independently, or customizing it to be similar to the other, or something else?

    7. Lazy question : What are wayland and docker? I see a lot of people mentioning them

    • Sorry for the many questions, and thanks in advance

    Any scientific explanation to what happened to me ?

    A few minutes ago I suddenly woke up , I didn't sleep well

    At the beginning everything was normal , then I blinked and ...

    The lighting suddenly became more yellow (and unnatural) and the closet I was looking at turned into a frightening and shocking appearance (the closet itself, it was vandalized in a way that I can't even remember to describe). I remained in shock for three or four seconds, then I found myself closing my eyes tightly ( it was an involuntary reaction ), and when I opened my eyes again, everything returned to normal.

    This is the first time in my life that this has happened to me

    So ... any scientific explanation?

    Thanks in advance
