It sucks for gaming.

They make systemd, right? Isn’t it present in 99% of all linux computers?

TeamSpeek or Mumble.

Both have excellent voice chat.

So, all downstreams have no added value?

Why would it break?

If he’s a dev, he might actually prefer it. Just explain and let him decide which one he wants to try first.

What’s New in LibreOffice 26.2

Markdown import and export features. Improved performance and responsiveness across the suite, making large documents open, edit, and save more smoothly. Enhanced compatibility with documents created in proprietary and open core office software, reducing formatting issues and surprises. Refined user interface behavior for a cleaner, more consistent experience. Expanded support for open standards, reinforcing long-term access to documents. Hundreds of bug fixes and stability improvements contributed by the global LibreOffice community.

See the Release Notes for the full list of new features.

Markdown, great!

Also, I’m curious about the UI refinement.

I prefer Gnome aesthetically, but I value more KDE’s speed to implement gaming related features.

Since Valve’s midas touch, KDE Plasma has been pure gold for gaming. I love it.

I love Gnome, for me… their UI is the most beautiful of any desktop OS. But I had to move to KDE Plasma primarily for all the gaming related features that come out first on Plasma. That led me to see just how much flexibility I was missing.

Now I greatly value both desktop environments, both visions are valid, but they cater completely different minded users.

Please share an example podcast title & author.

I would love to see the OS share. I bet us Linux users are all over it, since right now it is the only tool we can use to do all of that in the same place and easily.

It would be useful if you could compare it to current FOSS alternatives. I mean, why this instead of say… Ironcalc, collabora, etc.

It will depend on how upstream (Fedora Silverblue) implements it. From my understanding, it will straight up replace it, and remove SDDM.

KDE Linux will probably have it first.

My biggest issue: no support for rdp

Pet peeve: In immutable distros you can’t change the background image… and I happen to strongly dislike Aurora’s artwork. I run Aurora on my work laptop, and my login screen looks like some kind of a bizarre childish acid trip. Embarrassing to say the least, but the distro itself is top notch.

In Bazzite it’s usually between same day and 24 hours, since the build process is fully automated.

You won’t lose it. They’ll just turn it off by default for new users.

That’s exactly what’s happening.

I use an M2 Caddy with a 1TB NVME SSD to boot into Aurora Linux on my work laptop.

The laptop keeps it’s Windows license intact and when I need to move to a new laptop, it’s plug and play work.

CUPS works with every printer in my office out of the box.

I am the user with less IT support tickets, I don’t require Windows, Office nor Adobe licenses.

IT is happy, I’m happy. Every day is pure bliss.
