Sure it’s not exactly a 1:1 with the books but I enjoyed them
Lol. Agreed.
The weird part is that it’s nearly a perfect remake for like the first 40 minutes. You can almost call out almost the exact moment when they ran out of budget and decided to CGI bullshit their way through remaining minutes of runtime.
I adore the original, but I’ll die on the hill that the Total Recall remake is great fun and worth watching.
But why?
Probably because having two separate dependency management solutions can lead to a lot of needless headaches.
And it makes particular sense for Gnome to switch over, since Gnome is focused on user space apps. Flatpaks should generally be more relevant and lower risk, long term, since they don’t require root privileges to install.
without some sort of clear ‘Linux Certified’
I think we will get there. Ironically, we might have ‘Steam Certified’ first, for alternate SteamDeck hardware.
I’m the meantime there’s premium brands like System76 and Framework who are making Linux support part of their brand image.
Needing ndiswrapper was bad, but Ndiswrapper was salvation (okay it was fixed wifi, which is practically the same thing, to me…)
Yeah. I’m confident in this change thanks to my equal discomfort configuring either SELinux or whatever OpenSUSE has. Hooray!
But joking aside, this sounds like a good thing and I appreciate all the folks who do understand that stuff and have worked hard on it.
Good news!
Boox will run any cloud sync that has a recent Android app available. It’s just an Android tablet, at heart, and it’s already unlocked.
In particular, the local NAS sync client for Synology runs like a dream.
Edit: Oops. I missed that we switched from Boox to reMarkable, there.
I guess I’ll leave this since Boox sells eInk tablets that are feature matched to reMarkable, anyway.
