| Sose | hi. I'm trying to make xubuntu feel a bit more like windows, by changing some shortcuts. like how in Windows pressing the windows key opens the start menu but pressing win-e opens the file explorer for instance | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| Sose | I managed to change those keybinds from the keyboard menu but now the "start menu" opens up even if I press win-e for the file explorer | 00:03 |
| Sose | is there any way to fix that? | 00:03 |
| Sose | like make it only open the "start menu" on keyup if no other key was pressed alongside the windows key | 00:04 |
| Sose | also, having windows key / "Super" as the shortcut for the whisker menu means that under desktop->keyboard, if I bind Super-d to show desktop, it won't work at all :( | 00:11 |
| Sose | ah, of course when asking for help I found the right words for google. a little program called "ksuperkey" fixed it | 00:18 |
| jphilipz | hi Sose | 00:24 |
| jphilipz | yes the super key is an issue that doesnt have a complete solution at the moment | 00:25 |
| jphilipz | other xfce distros have the Super left key work with whisker and then, if you have a Super right key, that can be used with other Super shortcuts and not open whisker | 00:27 |
| Sose | right, I see | 00:28 |
| Sose | anyways, installing ksuperkey and adding it to autostart seems to do exactly what I want | 00:28 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1575053 in snapd (Ubuntu) "Please move the "$HOME/snap" directory to a less obtrusive location" [Wishlist,Confirmed] | 07:59 |
| Sose | hilarious, that's like 3 years old and it's still not possible to add a '.' to the directory name? | 07:59 |
| knome | Sose, patches welcome? :P | 08:43 |
| Sose | I'm sure I couldn't figure it out if nobody else did. it's just funny because you'd think it's very easy to just add one character to a directory name | 08:45 |
| Unit193 | Why put it in ~? Depending, it should be in .config/snap, .cache/snap, or .local/share/snap | 08:47 |
| knome | that's a different question :) | 08:55 |
| Spass[m] | good to know that I'm not the only one that hates that ~/snap folder | 09:26 |
| Unit193 | What's in it? | 09:30 |
| Spass[m] | for me it's a (yet another) clear indication, that desktop/home use isn't Canonical's focus for some time now | 09:30 |
| Spass[m] | not sure, I don't use snaps on my systems, and yes, that folder is one of many reasons why ;) | 09:31 |
| Sose | I guess it has some settings for programs installed with snap | 09:35 |
| Sose | for me it has code, node and spotify folders cause I installed those with snap (or from the Software program, didn't even realize I was using snaps except node) | 09:36 |
| Spass[m] | I use Spotify from the official repo -> https://www.spotify.com/download/linux/ | 09:39 |
| Spass[m] | it opens quicker | 09:39 |
| Sose | hm, interesting, thanks for the tip | 09:40 |
| Sose | I wonder if the same is true for vscode | 09:41 |
| Sose | both spotify and vscode list Snap as the first option for installation though | 09:42 |
| Sose | guess it's the easiest | 09:42 |
| Spass[m] | yep, one command line, auto updates in the background, less "user support" | 09:44 |
| Sose | the one from the deb file just keeps crashing after logging in o.O | 09:46 |
| Sose | I'm not on LTS version of xubuntu though, I got the latest | 09:46 |
| Sose | maybe I'll just stick to the snaps for now :D | 09:47 |
| Sose | anyways I don't think the startup time is that long. feels similar to how it was with Windows 7 | 09:50 |
| Spass[m] | Spotify was always problematic for me at first runs (black screen, crashes) but then it just start working | 09:52 |
| Spass[m] | I remember I tried it from snap some time ago and I had the same issue (black screen/empty window) | 09:52 |
| Spass[m] | and after couple restarts it suddenly starts working :) | 09:53 |
| Sose | heh, weird | 09:53 |
| Spass[m] | yeah, and I had the same issue on 3 machines | 09:54 |
| Sose | well spotify isn't the best software ever written even though I like the service | 09:58 |
| Spass[m] | true | 09:59 |
| Sose | https://www.neowin.net/news/canonical-improves-snap-performance-significantly-in-latest-update/ | 10:01 |
| Sose | Examining the difference after font caching was added to the snap binaries on Ubuntu 18.10, Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code opened in 22.9 seconds, down from 119.9 seconds. | 10:01 |
| Sose | lol | 10:01 |
| Sose | (22.9 seconds is still really long. it takes like a couple of seconds at max?) | 10:02 |
| Sose | what are these numbers | 10:02 |
| cfoch | hi | 22:59 |
| cfoch | will 32 bit support will be removed in Xubuntu after 2021 too? | 22:59 |
| Unit193 | If it's removed from the archive, there's nothing we can really do about it. | 23:04 |
