    elementary OS 8 Available Today

    Jump

  • Seems like a really big release. I've never used it, but I appreciate that they exist.

    Firefox 133 now seems to follow Gnome's accent color!

    Jump

  • Well yes, but not really as not all desktops agree on and implement various wayland protocols and other features like the system tray, server side decorations, etc, etc. Quite a number of apps don't work everywhere or appear broken depending on their environment. I've seen it happen live in a couple of youtube videos. People trying linux and having a problem that only exists on the desktop environment they were using.

    But I agree with the sentiment. Better than before.

  • KDE is working on an M$ Word alternative?

    Jump

  • This is what I was thinking. This isn't new and it isn't in the best of maintained state. There have been some recent contributions, but not enough to claim that KDE as a whole is doing some huge undertaking such as developing a real alternative to word.

    The 6.12 kernel has been released [LWN.net]

    Jump

  • I was wondering this exact thing. Lots of stuff made it in, but not a peep from the linux gaming community when they had been talking about this for so long.

    Update from Gnome's Board: 2024-10

  • Even though we may bump heads on certain issues. I wish them the best of luck.

  • Swapping out my Nvida card for AMD. Anything I should know about before hand?

    Jump

  • I don't have an AMD card, so I don't know, but I recall reading on the endeavourOS forums of people solving their AMD gaming issues by installing the proper vulkan packages. That is to say. You should head to the endeavourOS forums and peruse around there. You will probably find that information very quickly there.

  • Swapping out my Nvida card for AMD. Anything I should know about before hand?

    Jump

  • I never suggested that they remove the card while the system is running. You must have skipped the part in my comment that says power off and swap the cards

  • Swapping out my Nvida card for AMD. Anything I should know about before hand?

    Jump

  • I've never done the process myself, but I would probably uninstall the nvidia drivers while the system is still running, install whatever amd packages you need I know there are some vulkan packages that people need that aren't installed by default, and then power off and swap the cards.

  • NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules

    Jump

  • All too often it is a downgrade though. A lot of those webapps have terrible search and I only want to search for what is on the current page anyways. For example reddit search has been notoriously bad for a long time. Half the forums online seem to be using the exact same open source software with the exact same terrible search. When all too often I just want to find what is on the current page anyways.

  • Unauthenticated RCE Flaw With CVSS 9.9 Rating For Linux Systems Affects CUPS

    Jump

  • While I'm glad that there are people who do this work and certainly appreciate it. I also read his tweets and this person did seem to come off as a bit annoying. Like I get it. Security is important. However, things not moving as fast as you like is no reason to act like that.

  • NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules

    Jump

  • Browsers shouldn't allow half of the stuff that they allow. You have to do the same thing not just with copy and paste, but also searching on the page with ctrl + f. Like I don't care that websites won't to create their own experience. Don't mess with browser behavior.

    Official Plasma 6 Breeze UI Refresh Mockups

    Jump

  • Looks great on the pages that I saw. I want it right now. Also if we could get some dark theme variants. I honestly want a dark theme that is more akin to what adwaita dark is. I do not like the grey dark theme that KDE and Google use.

  • Youtube has fully blocked Invidious

    Jump

  • I have people whom I still need to explain copy and paste to on a regular basis. Trust me, I understand.

  • Youtube has fully blocked Invidious

    Jump

  • To summarize what I was telling another person. The number of people who care are far outnumbered by the number of people who don't. It doesn't matter if you or I or all 10,000 (just a random number for the sake of argument) of the people subscribed to a sub like this were to cancel when r/justworks or r/normie (made up subreddits for the sake of argument) has 100,000,000 who don't give a damn about computers, privacy, or anything else beyond the service working or not.

  • Youtube has fully blocked Invidious

    Jump

  • I know you weren't using the number 5 as a hard example, but a thing that people still don't seem to realize is that the people in threads like this are the people that actually care. Even if the few thousand redditors who subscribe to a subreddit where they discussed that topic were to all (and I mean 100% of them) cancel there subscriptions. That is still only a drop in the bucket for Netflix. Losing a few thousand subscribers is still nothing if they made more money with the addition of ads.

  • Mangohud works in Lutris, but not steam.

    Jump

  • Yeah, was gonna say the same. It works fine for me on native steam. But flatpak steam needs flatpak mangohud. This was actually one of the reasons that I stopped using flatpak steam though. Not a problem against flatpaks or even that it didn't work. Hell it worked even during times when native steam didn't work.

    However, lots of small differences like this kinda make it harder to utilize existing software and information when the software and the communities around that software don't have flatpak in mind.

  • I don't think this commenter is refuting that fact, but simply doesn't believe that businesses are going to pass off any savings to the consumer. Many of them will simply pocket the savings.

    This week in Plasma: polishing like mad

    Jump

  • Yeah, I read that and was like "omg yes".

  • Element X, Call and Server Suite are production ready

  • The way permissions are listed on mobile operating these days is honestly pretty misleading.

    For example, I know some apps that need to request network permission even though they don't need to connect to the internet. Not because they want to do anything shady, but because they legitably have to in order to get certain info.

    Not to mention the problem of listing everything an app can do as if it is doing all of those things.
