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.

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

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.

No, why? It’s not like it would hurt them that much. FINE THEM HARDER!!!

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).

I’m hoping we get a persistent jailbreak for the PS4. The current one is not persistent, so I didn’t bother. But I have a 10.50 FW one laying around, just in case.

And THAT is the attitude that causes Linux to still not be ready for many people.

Unfortunately, a lot of those are super popular and there are still gamers that want to switch to Linux but can’t because of those games.

It’s scary how our corporate overlords watch all the distopian films and are like: Let’s turn that into a reality!

I so hope they get broken down, AND have to pay some outrageous fines before that, AND have to comply to some insane rules that restrict them hard. And then make the rules apply to all of Big Tech: Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, make them all suffer as they should, after the damage they’ve caused.

Fuck Google, man. Split apks make it super difficult to findz extract and install modded apps.

Nice! I love seeing rices where people make their own colourschemes! It’s unique and showcases better creativity imo

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 just started using a namecheap domain that I registered a few weeks ago, and this title scared me for a minute lol

Wait what? Really? That’s terrible. Just… why?

True, but I think typically the Playstore version isn’t always from the official maintainers and I’d consider it less trustworthy, even if free (unless the devs link to the playstore page on github/gitlab/codeberg/whatever).

These publishers’ names are:

Hachette,

Penguin Random House,

Wiley,

and

HarperCollins

Time to never buy any book from them again. I’m moving on to pirating ebooks and audiobooks. Sorry JRR and Christopher Tolkien (may you rest in peace), but I’m not buying any more of your books because they were published by HarperCollins. And I’m also not buying a lot of other books too.
