Full installation. For the OS it’s just a drive.

This will flop so bad it isn’t even funny.

I wouldn’t say old, but it’s a Thinkpad. I’m using Aurora Linux on a work laptop. In order to not void the warranty, I’m using an M2 NVME drive via a USBC caddy. It’s been rock solid for more than a year and I get to plug it to my desktop PC and use it as a thumb drive to access all my laptop files.

Great experience.

It’s the new slop-ring, you can get it at your nearest ChatGPT jewelry. It’s the latest in bot fashion!

Sloppening

Yes. Officially announced. Multiple times. IIRC the last time was at GDC, in their presentation deck.

Does this affect immutable distros like Bazzite?

About two years now, fully Linux based home.

• 2 android phones
• 2 android tablets
• Homelab running Proxmox VE
• 2 desktop PCs running bazzite
• 1 HTPC running bazzite connected to our living room TV
• 2 Laptops running Aurora

Rock solid, no problems, no maintenance whatsoever. My family doesn’t need me to use any device.

What about streaming apps: Netflix, Disney Plus, etc. would that be a way to stream 4k video on Linux? IIRC, Firefox or Chromium based browsers on Linux don’t allow that.

If so, that would be a great way for those wanting to stream using their Steam Machine, Frame and custom Linux based HTPCs.

Is there a law that establishes the definition of likeness and is it entitled to any rights?

Where is the limit that separates something similar to something else entitled to anything protected by the law?

Where is the line drawn ?

I’m sure there’s something, but personally I can’t imagine a law specifying geometry & texture similarity percentiles and a reproducible analysis procedure.

Holy moly, $100k a year each. I hope this more than covers LVFS’ costs and give them enough headroom to keep improving it.

For these companies it must be pocket change, but that can be a lot of money if the LVFS is efficient enough.

Just go with OpenSense. Fully FOSS and comparable with corporate software feature-wise.

I freaking love Inkscape. I’ve been using Adobe Illustrator since the 90s, when the TPM requirement for Windows 11 was announced I immediately started distrohopping. I had to switch to Inkscape to keep doing my job and still be able to switch to Linux. In about a week I was as fast and good as on illustrator.

Truly amazing piece of software.

There was a leak like a year ago, it was a figma file done by a single KDE community designer and not an officially sanctioned design. But it was gorgeous. I can’t find any screenshots and it seems nobody was able to duplicate the figma file in time before it went private.

But I saw it with my own eyes, it was amazing. Like breeze but for normies: more padding, clearer UI overall, nested content to avoid info overload. I loved it. But anyone who likes dense UIs would have disliked it.

I wish they would release that theme that leaked a while ago.

Different people, different needs. Dismissing others is not the way of the FOSS, Luke.

Mumble’s UX/UI is so arcane, my friends don’t want to use it.

Yeah, it’s part of the Universal Blue family of distros which Bazzite is part of. Technically it’s not immutable (they call it atomic), but yeah. For gui apps I just use flatpaks & appimages, for cli apps I do: brew install whatever. 99% of the time this does the trick, for that 1% which is some obscure random app I really want to try, I just use Kontainer which is a GUI for distrobox, basically it let’s me install any linux app for any distro. And for those super rare cases when I need to use a Windows app, I use Winboat which is freaking great.

Aurora now has a live iso, you could try it without installing it and see if everything works out for you.

In other words, it’s Fedora Kinoite with expanded hardware support, a few quality of life improvements and the trustworthyness of an immutable distro. I’ve been rocking it for more than a year, and it’s the same pure bliss of Bazzite (which I run on all my home PCs).

I use Aurora on my work laptop, I’ve installed it in an external M2 caddy drive, so my company has the Windows drive with the license intact, and I’ve set the BIOS to boot to the M2… so my files are all on the external drive which also works as a thumbdrive on my desktop PC at home. When my IT guy said I had to change laptops, I just plugged my M2 drive to the new one and that’s it.

Freaking great. Best experience I’ve ever had with work laptops. Plus, it’s faster than Windows. I love it so much.

This is freaking great
