The default Mac approach is IMHO superior in this. Just select the regular US keyboard, you have deadkeys available if you need them by pressing “alt”+symbol (e.g. “o” to have the dieresis symbol), then press the vowel you want to modify. But if you don’t know better, it’s just a regular US layout, and it’s always there, by default, on every computer (including that of your colleagues).
It's good from a text typing point of view but horrible from a keyboard shortcut point of view. I personally had to disable the feature so that I could actually use keyboard shortcuts in a sane manner.
The AltGr approach is much superior by not invading on the keyboard shortcut space.
Which keyboard shortcuts? In MacOS apps they’re usually done with the Cmd key (=Win key), not Option (=Alt).
If you mean in the terminal, or in a RDP session, yeah, that can happen (but it’s obviously a minority of users, and you can select the US International keyboard anyway).
I can imagine he’s mentioned a lot in Don Camillo since the communist and socialist parties in the first republican election of Italy joined in a coalition called “the Garibaldi front”, but Garibaldi himself was already long dead by then.
The tabs I had to buy for a while could be broken fairly easy by hand. This 1/3 2/3 worked noticeably better than just putting the whole tab into the dispenser.
I thought about it but wasn't sure if it would really do the trick. I kinda don't wanna buy more detergent right now because I'm stuck with a lot of pods
"Why don't these people use the more universal name cookies and instead refer to them as biscuits?"
In Europe it's paracetamol, in the US is acetaminophen, both represent the same thing and are not ambiguous. Plus, it's literally mentioned in the 1st paragraph, together with the brand name Tylenol.
In the Netherlands it's sometimes informally called "aspirin", even though that's a different chemical altogether. In Italy, the brand name Tachipirina is often used.
In the US as well, it's not too uncommon for "aspirin" to be used (especially by older folks) as a generic term for OTC painkillers. When someone says to "take an aspirin," they typically mean acetaminophen or ibuprofen, and probably don't know or care about the difference between the three.
> Bazzite originally was developed for the Steam Deck targeting users who used their Steam Deck as their primary PC. Bazzite is a collection of custom Fedora Atomic Desktop images built with Universal Blue's tooling (with the power of OCI) as opposed to using an Arch Linux base with A/B updates utilizing RAUC. The main advantages of Bazzite versus SteamOS is receiving system packages in updates at a much faster rate and a choice of an alternative desktop environment.
It is a Linux distribution, that aims to compete with Valve's SteamOS Linux distribution supplied with the Steam Deck (which itself is based on Arch Linux). Like SteamOS, it can be used on a regular desktop PC as well... but they are mainly aiming to run on the Steam Deck:
> The purpose of Bazzite is to be Fedora Linux, but provide a great gaming experience out of the box while also being an alternative operating system for the Steam Deck and other handheld devices.
Effectively they have taken Fedora Linux, and added to it the same sort of setup and programs that you get out-of-the-box with SteamOS as well.
For the most part, it is not the people offering Bazzite that are doing the hard job of providing security updates, etc., they are hoping that being based on Fedora will provide that assurance. They merely supply and configure some extras on top (e.g. the Steam client software)
What I meant is not "I can't find what it is", but that the landing page of Bazzite says this:
"The next generation of Linux gaming - Bazzite makes gaming and everyday use smoother and simpler across desktop PCs, handhelds, tablets, and home theater PCs.
Play your favorite games - Bazzite is designed for Linux newcomers and enthusiasts alike with Steam pre-installed, HDR & VRR support, improved CPU schedulers for responsive gameplay, and numerous community-developed tools and tweaks to streamline your gaming and streaming experience."
In the first 5 words after the 1st title there should be mentioned "Linux distribution". It's not even in the 2nd paragraph, now.
If this is the clarity of the landing page, I suspect documentation is equally user-hostile/inaccessible, which is why 2025 is still not the year of the Linux desktop... in the Linux world there's still an abundance of great developers, and a terrible lack of HCI/UX expertise.
But… does it do commentary like “one is binding”, and does it try twice to see if it was a fluke? :)
