I wonder if these guys know that without competition, companies tend to stagnate innovation and instead only focus on profits…

Certainly seems like you could make a udev rule to do something along these lines, I know you can execute specific commands /w udev, whether or not you can enable or disable a system service or whatever, I dunno, guess you could always execute a custom start script before WM that decides which WM to start

It does not, sorry.

I was gonna say fwupd thing, but that doesn’t see my joystick at all.

Try the phone app?

What an astonishingly stupid blog post.

I want to stop living in the stupid version of the universe. Yeesh.

Yeah, I am thinking about getting one of those too, but I’m probably going to wait for the next generation before I buy one.

Unless they have a flash sale before the next release ;-)

I’ve shopped around for a 12+ hour Linux laptop, I think you should wait a little while to pull that trigger, Qualcomm isn’t exactly great /w Linux, RISC is currently tripping on its own laces and people just aren’t interested in making this kind of thing exactly, yet.

I’m guessing that in a few years a lot is going to change with low power laptops that can still compute efficiently.

I have a 5 year old laptop that when I set it to highest efficiency can get almost 4 hours as long as I’m not doing 200 things, which is fine most of the time.

Plus I’ve read in a bunch of places that putting standard Linux on Chromebooks is way more complicated than it ought to be, so I’m not sure I’d pull the trigger on that without first researching the specific laptop you’re looking into.

Not that I’ve tried personally, just the Internets.

I run Gentoo /w 4TB NVME and 64GiB RAM, and I probably couldn’t point at anything that’s any faster than anybody else’s setup.

Except I can run a bunch of JetBrains IDEs at the same time (power woo!).

Evict all ions!

Bummer, it’s one of my favorite apps =(

It’s a good thing nothing malicious comes from the Play Store… we are totally safe…

That’s funny, an entire article dedicated to the name of GIMP acting like it’s the only problem with that shitty software, still feels like 1995, still can’t do anything it should be able to do.

30 years, and it still sucks.

Glad the article really focused on the primary shortcomings of the software >_>

Mint used to be my go to recommendation, these days I might offer up Pop!_OS, its unfortunate name is the only reason I might not, but when I’ve used it, it was a really nice experience.

Interesting, and weird.

Sorry, I was just making a stupid joke, I’ve always liked Amarok, every time it stalls, it gives me a sad.

Welp, just in time to get to KDE 6…

Whatever key you had before should work just fine.

If you want another key, I don’t have any recommendations, I don’t hate Windows 11 as far as the UI is concerned, and I’m not sure you stay any more private with Windows 10, just pick what you like.

Opinions make people read articles that show ads that make people money.

I’m pretty sure I had to enable the screencast use flag to get it to work for me.
