It’s pretty difficult to have a slogan when the price tag is reason enough to download it

I never really understood flatpak hate.

The storage use is negligible nowadays.

Permission requests feel way more user friendly and modern.

Finally linux has a universal package and people still hate it. It’s probably one of the best things to happen to linux in years

You probably shouldn’t be using an arch based distro if you want a user friendly experience.

I know there are things like manjaro and even endeavor os that are “arch but easy” but honestly I cannot in good faith recommend anything arch based for ease of use. Arch is a very fast moving distribution that usually has the newest packages but that isn’t always good. There will eventually be a problem come up, maybe not often and maybe not that serious but in my personal opinion it’s not worth it.

If you are wanting consistent ease of use and access to a lot of packages it’s hard to beat the mainstream distros. Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, (personal favorite) etc… and if you need something from arch repositories just use distrobox. You get access to all arch packages without the headache.

I’ve been using Authenticator and haven’t really had any issues.

I imported my Aegis codes and they worked no problem

It’s very pretty and I could see myself using it but I will stick with breezy weather for now.

I just think this has too much going on and the information is spread out too much. This is all personal preference but I feel that I get a lot more information from breezy quicker.

Cool project tho. Really like the radar

Thank you for posting this week in gnome here

I wouldn’t recommend duel booting on one drive.

I’ve done it before and hated it. As many pointed out windows will just destroy that partition because it wants to.

I’d honestly just stick with windows if you are going to need it.

If you don’t need it I’d just wipe the drive and install mint.

Duel booting can work well but usually only on separate drives

Ah cool. This will probably be better for newcomers since they won’t have to search for a tiny little “spins” at the bottom of the page.

Kde is probably a lot more familiar to windows users and I know I usually recommend it to people moving over even if I do prefer gnome.

I think gnome is working on the same sort of thing, read here.

I’m glad to see both going for an immutable os with flatpaks. It’s so much more user friendly for the average person and if you are more technically inclined distrobox makes it a breeze to use it like a regular linux desktop.

I hope both do well

I recommend booting into a live usb and seeing if everything is frozen.

If it does it even on the live usb it may be a hardware issue.

And if it’s hardware a lot of things can explain random freezing. I had similar freezing issues and it turned out to be a dying psu

They could have handled announcing this so much better.

Linus fumbled this hard.

I think this is a shortsighted and extremely ill-informed decision.

The “compliance requirments” have still not been explained at all.

Why aren’t Americans and israelis being removed from the maintainer list for their active part in a genocide?

But that is my opinion and is all I will say

Very excited about fractal 9. It’s probably my favorite matrix chat application outside of element. I just wish it would support calls but that may be out of scope

I think Element has the best chance of being a viable discord alternative. Especially with matrix 2 around the corner.

Element X (their new mobile app) loads as quickly as discord and supports e2e calls as well as chat.

It is a different app than discord though. It does not feature the nice server layout that discord is kind of known for but it is planned with spaces.

I say give Element another year or two and it will be a very formidable chat program.

And I have no doubt they are doing well financially and will continue to push improvements as matrix is very widely used. I mean hell apparently Nato uses it

Minecraft is not infinite

You should probably use fedora instead of debian testing.

Fedora is intended to be used as a more up to date distro. While debian testing is just that. Testing

I wish other distro’s would implement this. It’s a very modern thing to do and really does make linux as a desktop feel more complete.

I’m fairly sure flatpaks are planned to have something like this and I am really looking forward to it

Play on linux is extremely old at this point and isn’t really updated.

I understand that it was a tool that worked well for you in the past and you could probably get it working with the right dependencies but if I am being honest. It’s not worth it.

Wine has improved drastically in the last few years and with that a lot of new apps have come around.

My personal favorite is bottles as it is very easy to use and works well for both games and applications.

Another option is lutris but it’s a lot more oriented towards games than applications.

I hope I was of some help and good luck

I like https://flathub.org/apps/org.nickvision.tagger

Very simple to use app

You may wanna try putting a solid state drive in. It will boost performance so much
