  • Best TUI Calendar?

    Jump

  • Personally, I use cal all the time.

  • Some perspective on distro usage among developers

    Jump

  • 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.

    Jump

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

    Trump says there will be a blood bath, civil war and others if he loses. In your opinion whether in the US or not what do you think will happen if Harris wins?

    Jump

  • 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???

  • Linus Torvalds: Speaks on the Rust vs C Linux Divide

    Jump

  • 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

    COSMIC Alpha 2 is landing on September 26th

    Jump

  • 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.

    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).

  • The last time you were wearing a hat, what type was it?

  • A light grey flat cap

  • 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.

  • Microsoft Windows kernel changes don't suddenly mean big things for Linux gaming

    Jump

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

  • Microsoft Windows kernel changes don't suddenly mean big things for Linux gaming

    Jump

  • 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.

  • What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • What are some words you swear people use to try and sound smart?

  • 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

  • Fedora 42 On 64-bit ARM Might Make It Seamless To Run x86/x86_64 Programs

    Jump

  • 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.
