Just switched from Alacritty, kitty+zsh rocks. Feels faster than alacritty, and the tutorialization of the default config is great. And it’s wildly configurable.

Ahhh yeah I meant theming. My bad. And that would be easier ofc.
Ignoring the original post, I wanted to pick up on what you said right at the end.
Something I’ve never understood is, what impact is using iced
going to have on app compatiblity? Are we going to need compatibility layers for GTK and QT, like with Cinnamon displaying QT apps, with the associated jankiness?
Check for a ~/.config/chromium
folder and delete it. dnf
doesn’t seem to have an equivalent to apt purge chromium
which would be the other thing to do (while the package is installed).
For anyone else who was wondering, it’s major releases only, and so far it’s been:
Not sure Havelock would look kindly at being left til 5th, but you can’t please everyone.
I’ve used Xournal++ and Write, both worked pretty well. Saber also looks promising.
It’s going to come down to how the program handles smoothing of the pen input, which is going to differ based on how noisy your tablets data is, and on your handwriting.
Well we wouldn’t want Proton, it would be 2000x less lightweight than electron! /s
It seems to me that Tauri is maybe a better direction to invest resources in than a direct electron-but-Firefox. Its lighter weight and better sandboxed, and can presumably be configured to run with a Gecko engine instead of a chromium-based webview. I have no idea its status, but geckoview does seem to exist.
What issues were you having with mint 22? I haven’t had any specific ones yet, except for the qt5 themes app no longer being installed by default and not quite working right.
I think they mean powerful as in compute power, and since they’re designed to be thin clients, the answer is no. They’re universally underpowered the day they come out.
MATLAB works fine on linux for me these days. Some weird small text on hiDPI screens, but its fixable. I’ve only tested on Debian based distros though.
For those not following the blog, here are the instructions!
The latest blog post says it should be just a few days, which is nice!
I wasn’t trying to call you out! I was more responding to Jcreazy, but I wanted to emphasize what NaN said.
As far as I know, the xapps are largely updated in line with when Mint gets updates – Mint doesnt get super frequent updates on those either, they often get bundled with a new Cinnamon release.
Yeah. Everyone should be clear that both Mint and LMDE follow about the same release spacing as their upstream, but offset by a couple of months. Mint’s upstream is Ubuntu LTS, LMDE’s is Debian. Both release about every two years. Mint and LMDE cannot possibly do major version updates faster than their upstream!
The point of these distros is stability and polish. If you want the absolute newest updates, mint/LMDE is not the right distro for you, and getting the newest updates inherently sacrifices some stability.
I mean yes they did “formally request” it, but given the power dynamic between a FOSS project and a large technology company, openSUSE is not in a position where they could possibly refuse. So is there a difference between a request and a demand?
To be honest, their demand that OpenSUSE rebrand left a bad taste in my mouth. I get the logic behind it, but the time for that passed a long time ago (probably about 15 years ago).
Tenacity looks great, and I didn’t even know about it! Thanks for the reminder, we should definitely be supporting the fork thats actually proper FOSS.
Many Python packages are packaged by apt to deal with this. Try apt search python3-
.
Yeah, the headline writer. The actual information (and indeed the entire article) doesn’t say anything about breaking a covenant, its just that Canonical is changing how they treat updates.
And there was me thinking that was a mint problem…but it’s never broken nearly badly enough to force a reinstall. It’s just weird not being able to do a full upgrade unless you temporarily uninstall some packages.
