Why should the GUI application be a system package? Why shouldn't we have the good permission system that Android has? Why is the distro packaging every piece of software out there a good thing? Why is a couple of packages using more space a big deal to you?
I never can understand those people who are just against the idea of flatpaks. On the other hand, I can see why you'd be against it for the state in which it is right now.
Annnnd we are back at square one. flatpak is just another distro, with the limitations of a distro. You are basically asking for a unique distro to rule them all.
That's not what I am asking about; fragmentation is another separate problem. What I am asking is why would you be against the idea of flatpak, if you use snaps, then you're with the idea of flatpak (to some extent).
Ha - I actually have Windows (WinToGo) dual booting with Ubuntu Budgie on the same usb stick - plus a non-encrypted ntfs partition. The OS partitions are encrypted though given that is portable. Working out the LUKS details and boot partitions was difficult however as there is a serious lack of good information on how to do it successfully.
I don't like it when a project's website only says "here, run this Docker container" and doesn't have manual setup instructions. I don't want to just run a black box Docker container, I want to know what the knobs are and what they do.
It is disingenuous to simply state that people think new = bad. There are definitely both advantages and disadvantages to the current containerized packaging platforms / formats at the moment. Some of which, some people may see as greater positives, negatives than others.
Neon - essentially Ubuntu with the latest KDE Plasma on top. Not only does it give you the "ready to play" base that is Ubuntu, it had "discover", a very easy to use front end for package managers that lets you do exactly what you're asking for there in that last sentence.
One can only hope. I think it is better if the developers that care about clean UI and workflows were to focus on Ubuntu Budgie or maybe even Budgie 11 or entirely new DE altogether. But as far as modern feeling and clean UI design I really do think Budgie 10.5.x is an overlooked gem of a DE.
It is fine to be opinionated, but I always found the.. opinions I guess by the people over at elementary to be rude, condescending and not really in the interest of its actual users. I think if that weren't the case though there'd be tons more people volunteering to make it one of the most popular and best distros around.
I'm in the same boot. Wrapping up my first week of dual booting (for me it's KDE via Debian 12).
With Firefox, I encountered the same issue. After adjusting the resolution scaling, it is back to normal/expected, so give that a shot if your distro allows it.
I feel sorry for those small, understaffed, enterprises that had to scramble to get off CentOS 8, and may now be in the same situation with Alma/Rocky 8. IBM/Redhat have really fucked over potential customers. What a great advert to ensure no-one buys your product.
If IBM actually cared, they could have still gone down this route. But they could have let CentOS 8 run it's initial, promised, support cycle, then switch exclusively to CentOS stream. And continue to provide the source for the entire run of RHEL 9.
To be fair, the transfer from Cebtos8 to Alma couldn't have been easier. Just ran a script to update the RPM sources and a dnf update and we were done.
Moving to a different distro with different package managers and filesystem layout is a whole other level of hurt.
That is true, however, some companies would still want weeks/months of testing the transition in non production environments first with detailed write ups and sign offs before any work can be done. The script may be easy, but the bureaucracy in some of these companies is also yet another level of hurt.
One option is through the usage of UBI container images which are based on RHEL and available from multiple online sources (including Docker Hub). Using the UBI image, it is easily possible to obtain Red Hat sources reliably and unencumbered. We have validated this through OCI (Open Container Initiative) containers and it works exactly as expected.
Another method that we will leverage is pay-per-use public cloud instances. With this, anyone can spin up RHEL images in the cloud and thus obtain the source code for all packages and errata. This is the easiest for us to scale as we can do all of this through CI pipelines, spinning up cloud images to obtain the sources via DNF, and post to our Git repositories automatically.
Laptop, kind of a must have because of University. I preferred Gnome as it was a mature DE I could’ve left untouched theoretically. Although that was not the case :D
Curious - how did you get League to work? It’s been years since I’ve attempted to play it on Linux, and it’s always been janky at best, or not work at all.
Just followed the tutorial from leagueoflinux + killed the client process after the initial download, restarted and worked like a charm. It’s a bit laggy in champ select but in game it works well.
League definitely works, I am playing it on my main PC (running Arch) and on my Steam Deck.
There have been quite a few upgrades to the Wine version and the script, you should now be able to get it running just fine using the standard Lutris script with maybe some additional steps from /r/leagueoflinux wiki (can’t remember exactly anymore, been a while since I installed it)
Of course, still expect standard League client bugs, but other than that it works perfectly!
This is the most cursed word sequence I have read this month. My oppinions aside. Glad you like it so far. I would recommend looking things up on the archwiki pretty much regardless of the distro.
Unironic, I had the idea of using Edge, mainly because on W11 it was running better than Firefox. Thought decided to give Firefox another go and see if I’m satisfied.
