Right wing government dislikes womens rights, more at 11.

Linux users, united?

People in this community will cry over what init system or desktop environment somebody else uses.

British, not English.

I’ve been using it since 2016 and the only issue I’ve had (which has been fixed for a while now) was screen sharing in Discord.

It’s true that there are a couple of things missing or unstandardised as of now, but there’s also plenty missing from X11, so it’s swings and roundabouts.

There aren’t many distros that don’t have it by default.

Debian, a distro literally memed about for moving slowly, has defaulted to Wayland since 2019.

Haven’t you seen The Incredibles? No capes.

Do you think they just get charged without any evidence?

This must be the Kelvin timeline I’ve heard so much about.

The idea is cool (not for me personally, but I see the merit).

But this project has flip-flopped its name, its flip-flopped its distro, its flip-flopped its Desktop Environment. Development has stopped and started multiple times.

I don’t think this distro or this project is something that can be relied upon.

Surely it’d make more sense to develop this as a theme that can be installed by Plasma users, rather than as an entire distro?

It really doesn’t, but it that’s how you want to run away from the truth little guy then go ahead.

What a dipshit take.

There is not a single patch of land where humans have lived where atrocities haven’t happened. Not one.

Some countries, though, are committing atrocities right now.

Equating them is absolutely moronic. What kind of Old Testament whacko are you? Put that “sins of the father will be paid by the son” bullshit in the bin where it belongs.

I gave it a little test 2 days ago. It’s lacking polish and a few options you’d expect to see.

The auto tiling works very well.

The PopOS theming often doesn’t work on apps you download, often they don’t even respect your dark/light mode preference.

I had one crash, but it was fine upon reboot.

Padding and visual consistency is a bit hit and miss.

Personally I’d say it’s not quite ready for my tastes, but it’s certainly usable. I can definitely see the complaints I have being rectified in pretty short order.

It feels like it never quite decided on what it wanted to be.

Wow, I feel the absolute opposite. Of all the UXes I have ever used, Gnome feels the most like they have a vision they’re committed to.

Not everyone likes it, and I get it’s very different to the WinUX that most others have settled on, but they absolutely have a vision, and they execute on that vision.

Extensions break with every update.

Sort of.

When a new Gnome version comes out, Gnome’s default behaviour is to mark extensions as unsupported. But in reality unless you’re upgrading to the first Beta releases, you’re unlikely to run into that, as extension developers will have marked their extensions as compatible long before the new Gnome version has hit stable and distros start pushing it.

You can disable the check if you like, but hypothetically that could lead to issues (say, if Gnome radically changes the calendar applet, and then you force enable an extension that tweaks the old applet). Gnome, probably wisely, goes with the more stable option.

If you just use the stable branch, you’re unlikely to ever get broken extensions.

No, it isn’t.

Some parts are open source. Much of it isn’t. And it’s certainly not limited to just UX.

Good sausage. Nice house.

ChromeOS isn’t successful.

I use the flatpak so it makes no difference to me, but nice. That used to frustrated me.

It’s worth noting that Pressman wasn’t alone in this, he had approval, it was just kept hushed.

I’m going to do something a little different from the rest of the comments here and think about it from a strategic realpolitik perspective: the Federation played an absolute blinder with the phased cloak device. It was a genuine strategic and political masterstroke.

They knew the Romulans, who they signed a treaty with not to develop cloaking technology in exchange for peace, were becoming emboldened and expansionist… they were gearing to break the peace anyway. They knew the Romulans, in their arrogance, thought the treaty held them back. That their agreement to peace was a mistake, and that their empire was suffering because of it.

So the Federation says yes, develop this cloaking tech that is vastly beyond anything the Romulans (or Klingons) have.

The Romulans see it, and they can’t believe it. They can’t believe how woefully outmatched they are.

Suddenly it dawns upon them that breaking the Treaty of Algeron is something they really don’t want to do, and that confrontation is not in their interest.

The Federation then says, so how about this treaty, eh? Should we scrap it, slap this phased cloak on all of our ships, then go to war? Or should we bin this cloak and both agree stick to the treaty? Put yourself in the Romulans’ shoes… what would you do when you’re faced with that choice? The Federation have just given a clear demonstration of their technical prowess… would you want to go up against that? The Romulans had no real choice but to tuck their tail between their legs and put out a statement saying they’re committed to the treaty.

Both parties silently agree that the event didn’t happen. But the Federation comes out of it top dog. Their enemy has been put in their place and knows that a war would not go well for them.

That’s hard to do given the driver issues, how locked down phones are, and the fact you’re completely reliant on the benevolence of another faceless multi-billion (or trillion) dollar company.

It’s proprietary with some open source components.

They’ve said they aim to be fully open source some day
