it’s you!
I came to understand the philosophy and the kind of user, and specially workflow, most desktop environments try to appeal
however, I don’t fully understand Budgie, have you used it? what can you tell me about it?
I do know, that the open nature of GNU/Linux makes not everything having to “fill a gap”, there can be more than one project with similar goals and that’s okay I just want to know it better
whoa, bootc is even more interesting that it seems
wowie, that’s a really cool approach however I wasn’t able to find technical details
really? by the time I needed it, there were only .deb available, and they did not listed all their dependencies on Debian, only on Ubuntu, I had to look for their dependencies and install them manually, what a mess I made
my thoughts
this, even a tarball would have been better than a Ubuntu-only .deb
I feel like inmutable distros are in a quite good state nowadays, and while solutions like bootc and sysexts are not “mainstream” yet, it’s getting there
when it comes to getting non Flatpak packages, things get interesting, there are a lot of options, really
AppImages, statically linked binaries, tarballs, OCI containers, distrobox/toolbx, Homebrew, VMs, Nix even experimental formats like RunImages, AppBundles and FlatImages
if you need some non-system level package, you’ll have a way to use it yet, still it seems sort of chaotic “which one should I choose? how will I be able to easily manage them?”
GPM, dbin, Soar, AM… and the list goes on
and it’s okay, the so called cloud native approach is still evolving, so this fragmentation is expected so it’s nice to share opinions about this while we’re living this interesting phase any thoughts?
I usually don’t mind using apps made for another DE as long as their UIs are minimal enough for my taste
however, while I was using COSMIC I felt like it really needed a GUI Log Viewer, it’s the kind of thing that sound clearly tailored for the user base COSMIC aims to achieve
GNOME one is nice, but libcosmic apps handle COSMIC tiling better
hi, in the past I’ve got a pretty weird issue while I was getting ready to make a switch: every USB that I tried failed to boot
turns out, the “safer” way to get it out from the PC (the eject function) messed up its file system
it was long ago, but the other day I made another bootable USB and it happened again, I thought it was just a bug that would be eventually fixed it happens both for Linux Live ISOs and Windows Install Media
am I the only one?
that’s a really cool view, maybe that’s the “gap” they tried to fill before getting stuck without tiling too
