Re:A proposal to switch Fedora Workstation's desktop from GNOME to KDE

I can't get my head around why Gnome doesn't have an option in settings to prevent laptop going to sleep when lid is closed. In KDE you can configure that and much more regarding laptop behavior when charging vs on battery.
Why there is no option on Gnome to ungroup windows in dock/launcher without installing third-party extensions. On KDE it's one click. Not everybody likes to click 2-3 times to open desired window.
Gnome's default image viewer can't even crop or resize photos.
There is a ton things like this that make KDE far more usable out of the box than Gnome.
The only thing that is better on Gnome is HiDPI handling. KDE works kind of OK with wayland on HiDPI screens but some apps have issues with very slow scrolling, e.g. SublimeText and LibreOffice apps

Ants do other amazing stuff too. E.g. they break seeds into two halves when storing so the seeds don't germinate. They also know that Coriander seeds germinate even when split into two so they split it into four parts.

Tell HN: Check your HERE transaction counts and bills
We are a small startup and we rely on Google and HERE for providing routing services. It has happened 3 times so far that transactions count on HERE dashboard is wrong and as a result of that we got inflated bills which we had to pay. Each time wrong counts happened, we opened a support ticket. Each time HERE acknowledged that they got the counts wrong blaming a bug on their end which they...

As someone speaking bosnian, I can read & understand it. Feels weird having to replace "y" as "i" in my head as we don't have "y" in our alphabet, and also some cases feel off.

I've used HP EliteBook series since G1 (current is G5) all worked great with Ubuntu. G5 series is lightweight and IMHO well built.
Currently using HP Zbook G3 which came with external Nvidia card that I had to take out in order for suspend and screen brightness to work, other than that Zbook G3 works great with Ubuntu but may be too bulky for some.
It is worth checking HP outlet for notebook deals: https://h41369.www4.hp.com/pps-offers.php (under section "Notebook PCs")
