A GNOME-Y SHOW

Gnome's Developers been getting a (possibly deservedly) bad rap for taking key features away from the user. Here are a couple of tweaks to show you what you can do to get some of those functions back. Also, we'll take a look at the upcoming version of Gnome 43. Looks like some very cool stuff coming down the pike!

Want to get a type-ahead search feature? Here is a site that will show you two ways to get that done in Nautilus: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/enable-nautilus-type-ahead-in-ubuntu

One of the cool things about Linux Mint is that you can see your password represented as asterisks while you type it in. This isn't earth shattering, but it is convenient if you want to see some kind of feedback as you're typing your password into the terminal: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/08/make-sudo-password-visible-terminal

Would you like to know more about what's coming down the pipeline for Gnome 43? Here are two very good pages describing the changes:

Remember our Words of Wisdom:

Don't drink and drive"
Don't got to eBay, Amazon, or use MS Edge Shopping all buzzed up because you think you're going to get the latest and coolest stuff...You're probably not.

In the meantime, Bottoms Up & Later Dudes!
