I’m glad Fedora has GNOME as default. The KDE spin appears to be well-maintained enough for those interested to enjoy it.

GNOME for sure

Imagine playing games

Pop! OS

Lemmy.world is designed for people who want another Reddit. Interacting with their users & communities tells you all you need to know. I’d be a fan of defederating, tbh

Lemmy.world is also notoriously mismanaged and has had dubious privacy issues in the past, such as their Discord situation regarding user messages

Ignoring the fact that the body of this post is very likely LLM-generated, this does seem pretty cool.

I have more of a question than an answer - is the Monaspace repo a good example of how to do this properly, or a bad one?

I’m all for this change, but hopefully it means Mozilla will put some more energy into Gecko to make it competitive with WebKit in speed and multimedia capability (P3 colors, HDR images, JPEG-XL, etc)

MuPDF comes by default on CalyxOS, and is what I use.

Just yesterday I overwrote some pacnew files and borked user authentication for myself. Very rough time

I agree with this the most. People obsess over the start menu paradigm simply because they like it in Windows. I desire more open mindedness when it comes to looking into alternative ways to interact with your computer, so I align with GNOME.

“Anything immutable” is bold. Any bad experiences, personally? I don’t think they’ve negatively impacted the desktop Linux landscape as a whole…

This is a balanced take in my opinion. Also an Arch user. Distrobox has helped remedy things somewhat.

I see a lot of Framework recommendations, and I had the 12th gen Framework for around a year running Fedora. I faced a bunch of excessive power use issues, and had to add some kernel flags just to get maybe 4 hours of battery life. The device is notoriously repairable, but the one thing that conked out on me was actually the mainboard, which was like the price of a new device. Support spent two weeks trying to find out if it was anything else before sending me a replacement mainboard.

My friend recently got a Zenbook 14 OLED with the same processor. The entire device was $200 cheaper lightly used than the Frameworks mainboard alone, and the only issue is the speakers don’t work. That being said, he gets almost double my battery life, and a 90hz OLED screen on top of it all. Plus more ports; even with Framework’s modular add-in cards I don’t feel it is as flexible a system as having >4 useful ports.

My time with the Framework was great, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Getting something secondhand is an environmentally conscious option, and you can get great stuff secondhand.

I don’t know if Lemmy is the best place to ask, lol

It sounds like it is time to defederate. We’ll miss the instance but we understand why it must be done

There occasional hiccups with Linux that are sometimes by design, like Flatpaks not having access to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. This makes some things need minor workarounds where they wouldn’t otherwise, because there aren’t enough people on Linux to make these workarounds the norm. I don’t really mind, but it is nice not having to do anything like that on macOS (although there are other issues there, like not having access to /usr/bin in the first place :P)

At the end of the day, though, the development workarounds necessary on Windows are absolutely insane. Even as well documented as they are, I am very glad I don’t need to touch Windows ever again because they still suck.
