weird. Must be a bug.

You can change the language manually using the drop-down in the top right

If you click the link, the site will automatically be translated into your language. But since the organisers are French, it will preview in French.

I agree, that seems like an oversight

good point. I’ve created a couple more crossposts

Sure, this time it only affected Windows computers, but Crowdstrike has also broken Linux installs this year:

That’s only the online votes. If you add votes collected by other means, you get more than the threshold.

And those numbers are (slightly) out of date

Thank you for the correction. I wasn’t sure (but also to lazy to check)

I’ve edited the title

No, it’s been running for some time (that’s why I didn’t call it a new initiative). So it’s probably the one you signed before.

And with topgrade you can even upgrade flatpaks and your distros repos in one go

Your half right. It’s not really the OS’s fault but rather the fault of the browsers and app-frameworks that use the browser in the background (electron). Because neither Firefox nor chrome have this feature implemented for Linux. The official Discord client doesn’t do it either but other ones such as Sunroof do. It’s possible that at least one Matrix client has learnt to share the screen with sound on Linux but I don’t know of any (I also don’t use Matrix a lot so don’t pay too much attention to my experience on that)

Ghost is open source. You can selfhost. It’s just that aggressively advertising their (paid) hosting services on the official website

Which is why the comment you where replying to specified

in civilised countries

The implication beeping that the US is not. Because in a lot of other countries surprise clauses in your T&C’s is illegal

If you don’t want to do that, then you can buy a bootable drive (for example here: https://www.shoplinuxonline.com/mint21-usb.html)

Using a different tool to create a bootable drive is just a part of installing any operating system, not just Linux. If you ever need to install windows on a pc that doesn’t have it installed you will see the same process.

Linux has had MPP (Microsoft Pen Protocol) support baked in for some time now. Dell sells such a pen which they call the Dell Active Pen but theoretically any MPP pen should work.

It’s not exactly what you are looking for, because the pen is not battery free, but the star lite is a surface style convertible that ships with Linux out of the box. And it supports MPP pens

Don’t get your hopes up just yet. This is just my idea of how such an app could look like. Doesn’t mean, anybody is actually going to build it.

They are contributing to Google’s hold over web specs. If Google decides to implement a feature off spec, then website developers will optimise for that implementation because it will be the implementation used by all chromium based browsers. And that leads to worse performance for other browsers with a more correct implementation.

I picked gtk for the mockups because it’s supported by penpot. If you want to use kirigami over libadwaita then I’m not going to stop you.

I’m just happy somebody took me up on all of this (and so quickly at that)

Thank you

You might want to take a look at sxmo then: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Sxmo

Sxmo utilises your phone’s volume buttons to navigate menus. Plus you get to bragg that you are running sway on your phone 😉

Of course. But I had to target a form factor for my graphics. I’m aware that a real app would likely scale correctly on both mobile and desktop.
