  • Thanks to OpenAI, it's never been clearer that Sundar Pichai is Google's Steve Ballmer

  • I use a Nextcloud app called Memories for my photos. I don't know if it is one par with Google Photos but it's good enough for me. There are a few providers that offer managed Nextcloud servers, personally I use the one by Hetzner.

  • Why use immutable Linux ? And which one ?

  • The part about changing the login screen seems to be not entirely true. There is also this tool that claims to be able to generate rpm from sddm themes that you then can layer onto your system image. Take this with a grain of salt though, as I haven't tried either method because I honestly don't care how my login screen looks.

  • I am using Fedora Kinoite and it has been incredibly stable. I like that I can always rollback to a previous state if an update breaks something. This was a huge issue for me a couple of years ago and I stopped using Linux for quite some time because of that. I haven't had to roll back anything yet but without that feature I wouldn't even consider making a Linux distro my daily driver. Installing software is for the most part pretty easy if you are happy using flatpak applications and toolbox. I like that all the packages that I need for my work or for messing around stay in the toolbox container and won't affect the stability of my system. The only thing I find a bit annoying is that you have to reboot to apply updates. For me, going back to a 'mutable' distro is out of the question.

  • Disco Elysium standalone expansion reportedly cancelled and quarter of staff facing redundancy at ZA/UM

  • I can only hope that the Disco Elysium IP somehow gets back into the hands of the original writers.

  • Mozilla downsizes as it refocuses on Firefox and AI

    Jump

  • I am very skeptical when it comes to machine learning and all the hype surrounding it, but it's not all bad. For example an improved firefox translate would be a nice feature to have. There might also be some usecases for accessibility or adblocking.

  • Windows dropped new feature called "sudo"

  • My high school has the Linux atheists as teachers

  • Take your pick. Though the appeal to nature at the end makes me think it is probably something made up by that particular school.

    edit: It isn't but the appeal to nature is still a fallacy

  • Is there something you lack in Wayland but have in xorg?

    Jump

  • Not trying to be a menace, but I just tried it out using xdg-portal-test-kde and the screenshot portal definitely works on KDE Plasma 5.27.10. If you are experiencing issues with that, please create a bug report for xdg-desktop-portal-kde so it can be fixed.

  • I can't complain, installed Fedora 39 Kinoite and everything is working great. The only thing I have noticed is that drag and drop from dolphin into some flatpak applications is not working; But that is pretty much it and I am not even sure if Wayland is causing this. This is honestly the most usable Linux has ever been for me.

  • What prevents you from using org.freedesktop.portal.Screenshot with GNOME and KDE as well? They both support taking screenshots using that method.

    Unlikely, only misconfigured. The "Ubuntu success" message might show because your PC tries to boot from a GPT partition on a different disk or you have inadvertently overwritten the Windows bootloader. Booting from a live USB should work but it might take a couple of tries depending on what settings you have changed in the UEFI; also check if your flashdrive is working properly. Apps like the Fedora Media Writer or Rufus can check if the image is not corrupted after writing it to the drive.

  • Hard to tell from the info you provided. It might be a mixup between legacy MBR and UEFI boot. Try enabling legacy boot in UEFI and make sure the boot order is correct, if your PC is really that old it might just be that your Windows install is still booting from the MBR.

    Oh no! The Shareholders!

    Jump

  • Well the clickbait certainly worked. Here is the actual article, and this is what the CEO has to say.

    No employee ever wakes up and says, 'I'm so excited. I made another penny a share today for Panera's shareholders.' Nobody cares. You don't care whether your CEO comes or goes.

    I don't know whether he is a good or a bad CEO, but this article is just rage baiting and you all fell for it.
