Hi! I installed latest Plasma in Arch Linux recently, configured everything in Spanish from Argentina. I noticed the hour was in AM/PM format, and when I went to customize it and chage it to 24hr format, I now get a mixture of Spanish and what I think are default untraslated strings. I tried to change the language setting systemwide from the settings but without success. Any ideas on what is it that I'm missing?

I always thought /usr was for "user".... TIL

Sure but for example I understand that /dev and /proc are actually kind of filesystems on their own

His coding videos are really nice to see. I don't even understand that much, as it's mostly C++, but the coding, the explanation, and the final feature and commit is somehow relaxing.

[-] guillermohs9@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

My thought exactly.

[-] guillermohs9@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but you just describe 2 features on specific apps that don't need to be enabled by default.

On Windows, I often simply took out the USB drive without "safely removing" it. The data was there 99% of the time. On Linux, if I'm not mistaken, unmounting the drive before disconnecting is what actually writes data to it.

Unmounting removable drives after writing to then is crucially more important than on Windows

Personally, I disable it first thing after installing and I think it's easier this way for those who come from Windows. Those who still prefer the single click, can easily enable it again. Not a big deal.

Well that's nice, I think last Debian I downloaded what buster or something so I might have been talking about old experiences. They're still making the user navigate through an FTP-like file structure to find the current amd64 iso?

[-] guillermohs9@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but there is a point. I'm not a Linux newbie, but sometimes you can get lost looking for the iso file that includes firmware, or non-free, or certain desktop. On most distro's pages, the big fat button leads to a direct link to the iso file and another to a torrent at most.

I don't know what type of editing you need to do, and I haven't used it myself, but if I'm not wrong, LibreOffice Draw can edit PDFs.
