I use tmux for ssh sessions. Still have a DE on the main system, though. Running tmux with tmux would be wild.

Somewhere between 6-7. I follow issue trackers but spend more time implementing other peoples' fixes than adding my own code. I also maintain dozens of systems at my workplace.

Files in the folder containing the rest of the data. Like cutting the folder name in half and having the rest of it as the filename of a .txt file inside it.

Lots of options on Linux.

Maybe as a workaround you could add loose files with the rest of the filename and metadata into the folder, if you're only dealing with long folder names?

Last time I set up Mint the only thing I needed the terminal for was to disable a setting on Java 8 that prevented it from launching on Xfce.

I didn't need to use the terminal to do that, though. It just didn't feel right editing a system config file with a GUI text editor.

DuckDuckGo also displays a preview of the Wikipedia article at the top of the page if you search for something that has an article

Lots of indie and retro games play fine without a GPU

Situation is dire, AAA games are growing more unsustainable by the day

For me, it's date +%s

Lemmy communities have RSS feeds

I always type sync into the terminal after copying large amounts of files to external storage. One time it didn't unmount properly. Never again.

Reddit -> Lemmy is a recent switch that I'm happy with

This isn't a GNOME-specific thing as other DEs also display files by their file type. It's all defined by the icon theme.

I'm not sure if there exists an icon theme that replaces the unique filetype icons with specific application icons, but if such a thing does exist, that could be a solution.

You could also edit the icon theme you're using yourself too, if you're feeling adventurous. Using the Papirus icon theme, on my system the image representing a python text file is located in /usr/share/icons/Papirus/64x64/mimetypes/text-x-python.svg. I could replace that image with anything. I'm not sure why I'd want to do that, but if you really want to replace all these images with an image of VSCodium no one's gonna stop you.

Maybe there's a script that does this automatically? If such a thing exists, it'll probably follow the steps I just mentioned.
