The Linux Mint team produces excellent software for making the end user experience gorgeous.

My favorite bit of software of theirs is webapp-manager. I have it installed on my Pinephone, and it allows me to make “apps” from websites.

I love that they embrace Debian as an alternative base. Debian is one of my favorite operating systems

Linux Mint = Good

I can play Spotify, Doom, and Runescape at the same time on my Steam Deck. I don’t think any other console can do that

I want to know what’s happening too

Many lessons were learned from the Hurd that has impacted ALL microkernel kernel and userspace designs, but it is ancient by today’s standards.

Its more accurate to say they were “rewriting” MINIX, but I don’t like the word “rewriting” as all of these systems are unique in their own way.

Kinda. Redox uses a microkernel architecture and tries to keep only the most important functionality in ring 0 while they push everything else in userspace. It’s great.

Don’t forget Retroarch too!

Most excellent. I’m glad to see things are working out, and that you’ve found something that works well. I hope your experience is as beautiful as mine was - mine pushed me to pursue computer science and programming.

I recommend at this point learning Flatpak and exploring Flathub for your favorite apps. Flatpak is treated as a first-class citizen on Fedora, so its my go-to recommendation. Should be super easy. Here are the instructions: https://flathub.org/setup/Fedora

Have fun!

This is the one. One of my favorite and necessary extensions for me

Yeah!

Endless Sky is amazing and under continuous, active development.

You can build your fleet as large as you want too, which can get insane. There’s no cap hard coded in the source - one player I talked to built his fleet with thousands of freighters until his computer started lagging.

Veloren is amazing too. I love collecting lanterns, and taming animals and mounts is great gameplay.

This was in development but its about a year stale: https://gitlab.com/cubocore/paper/paperde

I lot of those games on GOG are on that CD!! Oh man secret agent was a fun one

Thank you for the link. Saved!

I had the Apogee game collection on a CD that was super important to me growing up. I’d like to find it again

Bungie gave me some of the best gaming childhood memories.

So much Halo. I was obsessed with it as a kid. The gameplay, the story… It was a SciFi gaming masterpiece. Super fond memories.

I’m also a HUGE fan of classic Marathon and Pathways Into Darkness. People don’t give these games the credit they are due, and everyone should play them. You can find the Alephone engine, open-sourced by Bungie, and play all of the Marathon games and community scenarios completely free. A well-respected community member even ported Pathways to the engine.

I love Joplin. So muchhh

I’m interested in installing KOReader on my Kobo. Its good, portable and lightweight software

Gotta celebrate the little victories

I read so much bad news every day now, and then something nice like this pops up and I think “well gee maybe things aren’t so awful”

Fluent Reader is wonderful for my Linux tablet. It was the only one I could truly get working the way I wanted. There are also multiple methods to render the feeds, which can be needed depending on the source
