  • Looks good

    Any inspiration from The 7th Guest? Lol

  • You might need to upgrade out of LTS into 25.10 before the backports will work, or wait until 26.04

  • The default sorting method is chosen by the instance admins actually (and then a user could change theirs once they sign up).

    But maybe the bigger problem is just that people are used to the name "Hot" and how it functions on Reddit. I don't think we should match Reddit's algorithm exactly, but as it is it looks kinda barren and not very "hot".

  • but new users might not know this, especially since it's under a different name, they might not even think to look and just dismiss it because they don't like how the screenshots (of GNOME) look

  • Yeah but I'm thinking Kubuntu should overtake Ubuntu as the primary for discussion purposes

    It's just generally the more appropriate choice over Ubuntu for most people

  • How up to date is Mint compared to Kubuntu? I feel like I've seen complaints about issues with gaming on Mint's old kernel, but Kubuntu 25.10 seems to have a pretty recent kernel

    I have backports enabled so my kernel is on 6.17.0-8

  • Yeah it's just the login manager that requires systemd, not the rest of the DE

  • No reason why a fork couldn't do that though. Why build a whole new platform? Or why not use ActivityPub?

  • You can add Flathub in Discover without using terminal

    Backports aren't necessary, but it's nice to have the option if you later decide you want something newer

  • Because if you're talking to a beginner they're going to copy paste the name and download that

    which is why people should also say "Fedora KDE" if they think KDE is best, don't just say "Fedora"

  • I think Kubuntu is fine for beginners. Nvidia support is good, everything runs on it, and it's got a stable release cycle

  • "Too many distro options" is already a complaint of a lot of non-linux users, so specifying every last spin can just drive people away.

    Yeah but I'm saying Kubuntu should take the lead over Ubuntu.

    I actually installed KDE on Ubuntu once, it's kind of a pain, switching users without logging out doesn't work.

  • nice work, detective

  • I added Flathub to my Discover and now I don't have to use Snap lol.

    Yea it's a less common recommendation. But I still think we should be talking about Kubuntu more than Ubuntu so I thought it was weird that I see Ubuntu mentioned a lot but Kubuntu is rarely mentioned.

  • This is really cool, I think it's the same guy that made the randomizer https://youtu.be/VTSP1ov2QYM

    Seems like it could benefit from mouse and keyboard (for hotkeys), hopefully it gets ported

  • The other comments pretty much covered it, but a small nice thing that a port of the game can do that an emulator can't do is increase the draw distance and disable the LOD to always draw maximum quality models
