What was his Fursona?

The installer is a little bit less polished for now (until Leap 16.0 with the Agama installer drops as stable release), but generally… I guess? It just doesn’t come with Canonical’s shitty ideas.

The problems of (Open)SUSE is in its backend. A lot of tech debt from the days SUSE S.A. was owned by Novell, they screwed up a lot. But their OBS system is solid (explanation: for distro-users it’s basically like the AUR), and they don’t do silly nonsense with Snaps but stick with Flatpak. Or you know, alias’ing apt install commands to snap install like Ubuntu does…

It’s a really solid choice for a daily driver. Just the Nvidia driver sometimes causes issues, but what else is new.

Fair enough, that indeed sounds like a regression (assuming your old device got officially supported hardware) and a lack of GUI settings. I 100% concur this sucks, both.

I’m still very critical when someone complains that “Linux” doesn’t work properly on a laptop. Most of the time it’s not the fault of any FOSS project, but device manufacturers doing wonky shit that requires device-specific workarounds or license nonsense making support hard to impossible. Especially power management is an issue with newer laptops (which of course doesn’t apply to you) sometimes not even properly supporting e.g. S3 standby because they expect very weird Windows-behaviour (not even standard S0 but some wonky other stuff). I see way, WAY too many “Windows vs. Linux” comparisons on Windows machines that then conclude Linux “not being ready yet” (sometimes even blaming the devs). Meanwhile FOSS developers are being utterly exploited.

Sorry for lashing out a little bit.

Pretending that Linux doesn’t have issues is an outright lie at this point

And I’m sure your comparison is done using a Linux-native device, not an originally Windows-specific device you installed Linux on? With power management specifically there’s nothing Linux distros can do to work nicely everywhere, it’s an awful clusterfuck.

The only way to fairly attribute flaws to Linux is to compare a device that waa designed and built for both. Otherwise I could blame, idk, Android for running like shit on my Wii U.

<rant> The funniest thing about it is the reason why they won’t create an extension API: developer freedom. Because some extensions would stop working with an API, according to them. (Which is a damn weak reason, nothing prevents them from keeping the unstable patch path open and let users decide if they want to install potentially dangerous extensions or just those marked as “safe”, i.e. API-only).

Despite being told they actively decided against such an API I of course was still hit with the “just build it yourself and make a PR” line. Yeah, sure, who doesn’t want to waste dozens to hundred of hours for an already rejected concept?

That’s the same people who brought us libadwaita, which is in fact so well known for developer freedom that Linux Mint saw it as a necessity to fork it into libadapta to reintroduce more freedom. </rant>

God I’m so annoyed by this. Gnome’s organisational structure screws the whole desktop. At least that’s something they’re partially aware of…

Some of the lyrics from Chester hit even harder now… just different than before.

I’ve heard viagra is normalized in that business for exactly that.

Thanks for the reminder to listen to Meteora and Hybrid Theory once more.

Nice.

And because Gnome still lets every extension monkey-patch code right into the shell your whole desktop may crashes in the middle of your work. Especially if the extension devs aren’t monitoring changes in Gnome 24/7.

Happened to me 3 times before I moved to KDE. Which I very much dislike in comparison, but it’s just way more stable. Couldn’t go without extensions in Gnome either because of the very smooth-brained decision to replace the tray icons with their own backend, so any app not supporting their way of doing it either disappears into the void or has their tray icon submenu inaccessible.

Ugh. I love the UI/UX of Gnome, but in terms of stability and compatibility they screwed up phenomenally.

Their corpo stuff is (incl. Latitudes). Their consumer stuff (like XPS) apparently not so much.

Me at 70, trying to make the child-size coffin I could barely afford for my own funeral slippery enough so I can get squeezed in later:

And then imagine how it feels like to shop for clothes if your body doesn’t even conform to the expected average norms.

I god damn hate it. Stuff is either too wide or too short, the sleeves are NEVER long enough, the only available shoes that fit and don’t feel like torture are jogging shoes or sneakers, the neck width is never sufficient (unless you buy men’s clothes, which will look like a tent because tits weren’t part of the equasion)…

Uuugh, I hate shopping for clothes. -.-

So climate denier, antivax but apparently notably pro-AI.

That’s certainly a spicy combo.

…and that’s not even a bad thing, not necessary to get sufficient protein though either. I’ll never get why people are so angry about all this. Literally everyone on this planet already ate bugs, some just happen to be from the sea. Hell, we eat god damn fish eggs that come straight from fish uterus. It’s just unusual for most people to eat certain things, and even that is entirely depending on your culture.

Some people just can’t cope with the fact that meat production is so phenomenally bad in every aspect that abandoning it would either solve or extremely improve

• Climate crisis
• Health crisis (antibiotic-resistence)
• Lack of farmland
• Lack of space for construction

and probably even more. But nooo, people are like “uuh, I need my meat, meat is so tasty, my 20th century science says I can’t live without meeeeeaaaat, mimimi woke vegans want to take my borgaar :<”. Solving problems that threaten our civilization? Naaah, me want nomnom tasty meat. Can’t be bothered to make a few harmless changes.

Pisses me the hell off.

;__;

Not sure whether the meme is stupid or I am. …what?

It’s not like everything (or rather every dev) necessarily wants your money. We’re forced to monetize even our hobbies in an attempt to live a worthwhile life. It’s a cancerous system infecting everything and everyone.

To develop great FOSS software without the need of monetization is an enormous privilege.

That explains so, so much. Not just why everything wants to connect somewhere, but also disasters like programs with >1000 npm package dependencies. Why learning the right way if you’ve always been told to go the easy way.

trying to do desktop apps with decent looking UIs that work across Linux/Windows/Mac is a nightmare

I’d argue that both Qt as well as GTK is right there for the taking… but those are not “industry-standard”.
