Without the traditional distribution workflow […]
You are aware that the xz exploit made it into Debian Testing and Fedora 40 despite the traditional distribution workflows? Distro maintainers are not a silver bullet when it comes to security. They have to watch hundreds to thousands of packages so having them do security checks for each package is simply not feasible.
I wonder if that means it could be combined with DXVK to enable support on older DirectX versions as well. ^^
As someone who owns a PinePhone I can tell you that a lot more work needs to be done first. postmarketOS is ok but being Alpine based means you have to forever deal with all the issues that come with it including its primitive package manager. And mobian also kept breaking ever other half a year or so requiring manual config changes etc.
What we need IMO, is a more reliable spin like Fedora, maybe even something immutable like Silverblue to ensure the stability required for a daily driver device while also being quick to deploy the latest versions of releases.
There’s also the whole app ecosystem aspect but between advances in Waydroid and convergent GTK apps, I’m more concerned about the underlying base OS than the app ecosystem ^^
Not to be that person but I’m curious what made you go with AppImage over Flatpak, given that you already mentioned using the Flatpak as an alternative ^^"
They already use GitHub for a bunch of other projects. See https://github.com/mozilla/ and https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/
Or just use long-forms like
tar --create --file pics.tar ./pics
instead of
tar -cf pics.tar ./pics
or
tar --extract --file pics.tar```
instead of
tar -xf pics.tar
which is honestly way easier to remember... \^\^
So basically it’s just another GNOME release gotcha.
AFAIK, the extension developer needs to explicitly set each version of Gnome they support. Even when the Gnome version doesn’t have any breaking changes, the extension developer still needs to update their extension to enable their extension for the new Gnome version.
On that note, screen sharing worked just fine for me on Wayland Fedora 38 with Zoom Flatpak.
Convenience for end-users and avoiding link rot is probably one of the reasons.
Very good points tbh. My main thought with why I suggested lemmyrs.org is cause it would be an entire instance around Rust, not just a single community on an instance. That being said, there is already an official discourse for Rust so maybe just having a single community on lemmy as opposed to an entire instance is enough in that case ^^
As outline in the blog post, https://lemmyrs.org/ would lend itself best to avoid the case of one big instance de-federating from another.
Discoverability can be an issue with smaller instances but I’d argue that can be bypassed by simply linking to it from official resources that previously linked to reddit. Same with linking to that instance from Reddit.
One thing of importance IMO is that should lemmyrs.org be selected as the reddit replacement, there needs to be communication and more importantly help for that instance admin, so that they don’t have to carry the weight of supporting one of rust-lang’s communication channels.
yeah, tunneling into your local network and then calling WoL from there is the way to go.
Yup, this. Started update via Gnome Software, walked away from my laptop to make some coffee, restarted when I came back and it was done. ^^
Fedora has a KDE spin and gets some updates faster than even Arch (e.g. new Gnome releases) while also being considered stable. Heck even the the Asahi Linux project switched from Arch to Fedora as a base recently.
If you really need something from the AUR you can just use distrobox to generate an arch container and install the AUR package in there. You can then export it from distrobox to your application list with a single comment so that the fact that it’s running inside distrobox becomes completely transparent.
That way you have a stable but up-to-date base while also still having access to AUR.
That being said, in my 7 years on Linux I never needed something that was only accessible in AUR but maybe that’s just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Been using the PoC extension for a few days now and I’m absolutely in love with it <3
Ok hear me out, what about trains on streets (also known as trams :P)
This falls apart as soon as high-speed rail comes into play. I’ve done multiple train trips that outpace car trips primarily cause the train goes faster than the car.
First lets start with the obligatory mention that thanks to zoning laws in the US you are even in this predicament. My grocery store is like just a few hundred metres from my apartment and on my way from work. Instead of weekly shopping I just do it daily / every other day with just the few things I need for those few days. No for hauling grocery bags. And like you wouldn’t go shopping before appointments either…
Also you completely forget to factor in the cost of owning an maintaining a car. A yearly ticket for public transport for me is around 500€. I don’t own a car so my expense on public transport is just that 500€ with a bit more for holiday trips etc compared to the cost of buying a car every X years, paying for maintenance, and for fuel.
Yup, 40% of that AMD share is the Steam Deck.
Aren’t AppImages still limited to Xorg?
Also there’s no centralised update mechanism or dependency deduplication, no?
