I am not an expert but I don’t think Snap support can be added to an immutable distro after installation, meaning there is going to be some software that simply cannot be easily installed. Snap support is basically a legacy support feature at this point but I think it’s nice to cover their bases if they are trying to make something for widespread adoption.
I wonder what the differences will be!
I think you’re exactly right, honestly I think this has potential to be huge. Whether we like it or not, in order for a lot of mid-level savvy users to feel comfortable switching over they need a “default” option (like joining mastodon.social) to get their feet wet. A distro specifically built for KDE I think could appeal to a lot of people.
EDIT: Also for the people buying laptops in businesses and schools obv
Did you know that Mozilla is literally worse than Google and Meta? It’s true! Line 4,362 of the old “Firefox Send” source code contains a unicode character that in a very specific part of papua new guinea is used as a mark of shame against trans people. Also I am not paid by Google!
Yeah exactly, and it’s it’s all scheduled and automated it’s trivial (on your end) to include Fedi accounts.
Post scheduling is huge! Lots of good stuff in here.
This is one of those features that might not seem very huge but is a core thing that Reddit can’t have. Very cool.
Absolutely and I will be the first to offer praise. Honestly, I think the fact that FOSS devs trend weird and neurotic is not because of anything special with Open Source but because the non-neurotic ones are pulling down 300K salaries at Google. If big tech wasn’t absorbing all of their employees mental capacity many of them would be doing FOSS for fun.
Those are great drives but I would not want one of those in the room where I sleep haha
This is not the emulation community per-se, but what happened to Near was absolutely heartbreaking.
Open source devs are often difficult, single-minded, and poorly socialized, people, but the entitlement from users is enough to make anyone go insane.
TrueNAS is fine but the dead-simplest I’ve ever seen is CasaOS which has one-click network file sharing.
Exactly. I remember when my favorite teacher said “This is a textbook. Check it out sometime”.
Eh, just because you can’t make a horse drink water is no reason not to lead it there.
Things like what?
They’ve been extremely transparent about this:
I do that too! And fwiw haven’t had to manually configure auto-mount for other drives in a while.
Honestly, for a good distro, the brand is not great. Perhaps this can be viewed good opportunity to go with something more unique!
