  • Labna@lemmy.worldtoTenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•What starts with W and ends with T?

    This joke is not feasible in French.

    The word to translate “what” in a sentence is “quoi”, but for this question we’ll use the contraction “que + est + ce” (that + is + it) -> “Qu’est-ce qui commence par un W et termine par un T ?”.

    So we may say Q and E but caused by the contraction of the 2 E it doesn’t end with a E in this sentence anymore.

    Another way to say it, more literarily “Quel mot commence…” (what word starts…) but it breaks the affirmative way of reading.

    To approach the English way : “Quoi commence par un Q et termine par un I.”. Some child would fall into the question trap but no adult due to the fact that it’s not a proper interrogative word, the questions you can do with “quoi” are : “quoi?” (what?), “De quoi tu parles ?” (what are you talking about?) and "À quoi tu penses ? " (What are you thinking about?).

    Most of the “software that runs only on Windows” runs perfectly on Linux with wine, including the installation software, and the integration into the app launcher on all of the Linux distribution that I know.

    For a widow manager, I don’t use one, i have many virtual desktop and as it’s smoother than in Windows, I use only that (i don’t remember how virtual desktop works on ubuntu)

    Première run really badly in VM, and run it with wine is highly messy, do to poorly designed Windows install soft and plenty of missing dependencies, there are linux alternatives that do nearly the same job : KDEnLive, Shotcut and Openshot.

    That all I can tell for now, I hope it will help you a bit. Ps: try other linux distribution before doing an installation to find the desktop manager that you prefer.
