Makes sense. Ubuntu just works and is popular. Debian is the same, some people are just more conservative.

If Harris wins, Trump loses. That much is certain. Can’t say much about what will happen next, because there’s no real way of knowing.
Also, is nobody going to mention how typically, the incumbent stays as the next candidate, while the contender from the last election is replaced, because they were clearly not good enough for a win?
While this time, It’s the opposite: the last winner stepped down, the last loser is a candidate once more. Isn’t that weird???
Zig is feasible for systems programming and some, (most notably, the Primeagen in one video) claim it should have gone into the kernel instead of Rust, but I don’t know Zig so I don’t feel qualified to comment beyond that.
You can probably build a server image. I used Bluebuild, I’d recommend you check them out
All those apps are tied to Plasma, pull Plasma as a dependency, and as such, are not what you’d want to use unless you want to keep 2 DEs around. Okular is an exception, but I know for a fact that Dolphin pulls all of Plasma with it. For an Ark alternative, just use xarchiver (contrary to the name, works perfectly on Wayland). Gwenview is just an image viewer. Use ristretto or something else. COSMIC comes with its own screenshot utility as Spectacle replacement (and COSMIC Screenshot is quite good in my experience). And just replace Dolphin with COSMIC files (for a simpler experience) or Thunar (for something more powerful) and you’re good to go.
Edit: But I agree QT theming should be added. IIRC, they’ve talked to the Plasma team, but it was just too time consuming so they’ve put it of for now, but will have this done eventually. It’s a promised feature, it just probably won’t happen soon.
No Way! What??? How did they manage to…? Is the Issue Board on Github wrong? It shows tens of issues yet to fix??? Link: https://github.com/orgs/pop-os/projects/23/views/1
It’s dnf5 time!
cries in still waiting for new Anaconda installer
(for those curious, I had to use Anaconda 8 times in the last 2 days, because I was setting up (more like trying and failing to set up) a custom ublue image).
A light grey flat cap
I’ve had issues with it for file sharing, so far that I’m sticking to LocalSend, but I really need to explore KDEConnect further, as I haven’t explored the rest of its features.
A lot of examples people here are giving, are types of doublespeak: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP07oyFTRXc
Imagine it becomes easier to run Windows x86 programs on Linux, than on Windows. And I won’t be surprised at all if performance is better.
Imagine if THAT becomes Linux’ killer feature.
A more lightweight system without the crazy system requirements, certain systems more stable and easier to get into for gaming, no ads and no spyware out of the box, no extra cruft nobody needs out of the box, and better support for x86 emulation on ARM.
Now THAT is a checklist to getting people interested.
There is also the free of charge aspect, but I’m not sure how appealing that would be, with Windows being bundled in.
Anything else I missed, feel free to let me know.
I recently (as in, 2 days ago) set up a self hosted blog on Gitlab Pages using Hugo. As it’s a static site, hosting is free, though the domain is paid. I was actually just about to start writing a new blog post after catching up with Lemmy. The thing about your own blog is that there are no requirements, constraints or limitations. My first article, about the naming of this blog, and how much I suck at naming things, was a pleasure to write because at times my mind went to whether that was the best way to write or portray something, but then I stopped myself. This is my blog, my rules, and as such, I have complete freedom over it. And it made writing a joy, because I could just be honest and unfiltered. It also quickly made me realise how much I’d hate writing for a big website, where they are likely to have restrictions on some things, or requirements, or promotion and monetisation, that could suck the joy out of doing this, making it something I’d absolutely hate.
But, to each their own. I guess it really depends on what topics you’d like to cover and how you’d like to cover them.
Great, but the fictitious financial system is based on the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. If you want to see the US collapsing, then I guess it’s true that
Some men just want to watch the world burn
10k for a company making millions annually is nothing, 1% or less. But split between some of these projects, especially the less appreciated or funded ones, can be life changing.
But you’re unfortunately right
Things like this make me wish I was a tech CEO. I’d totally be the guy ensuring we give back to projects if I was.
I’ve heard so many good things about Bazzite that when they release a COSMIC version (I’m a tiling WM user), I’m at least trying it out, and switching if I like it.
Exactly. That’s Windows’ secret. Give us a control center where it’s easy to control NetworkManager, Pipewire, systemd, and other parts of the OS, and give them not-so-technical names. That’s one of the keys to Windows’ success. Others involve EEE and anticompetitive practices but we don’t want Linux going that way now, do we?
It’s not that Windows isn’t complicated, it’s just that there’s a GUI for everything.
As a non-American, everybody jaywalked back in London. You just go with the crowd when there aren’t that many cars, so you don’t get hit by a car.
Never heard of Spiral, and I’ve heard of a lot of distros, so I’d steer clear of projects like it, that are new and/or niche, as there will be lower reliability and support available. Aurora is also pretty new, but it (and Fedora Atomic, and uBlue in general) has a strong community, so I’m more likely to trust them.
PopOS and Linux Mint get a thumbs up from me.
Exactly. And here I am, after 2 days of trying to bend NixOS to my will, and I gave up. Tomorrow, I’m going back to Fedora, where everything worked perfectly, because I fell for “Shiny thing sindrome”, or the “grass is greener on the other side” stuff. Should have never doubted it. After 2 years of full time Linux and a lot of distrohopping, one would think I’d have known better.
