  • Debian stable has the "issue" of having pretty old KDE Plasma and Gnome versions which still miss a lot of the great Wayland features like HDR support, proper VRR support on multi-monitor with different refreshrates or proper fractional scaling
    just a heads up since some people actually were waiting for this to land on linux
    (and you can't update them via newer Flatpaks)

  • Torrent programs already do checking hash checksums to determine if you got it 100%

    thats also the only reason to check your download with a provided hash checksum from a website... to check the intigrity of the download and not for safety reasons

  • I reckon there are quite a few people who are waiting for its release before trying Linux.

    I always recommend against it people wanting a gaming linux desktop
    SteamOS being an immutable operating system works a bit different to most well known operating systems
    albeit this also makes any breackage almost impossible

  • I use Obtainium (available in F-Droid) alongside F-Droid since both have auto-updates
    this is still tolerable to the old days of updating manually

    biggest upside is I can update Tubular/Newpipe faster via Obtainium while F-Droids build system takes days

  • the difference is that the folder/package structure for other package manager is open and well known
    everyone can host their own i.e. apt, pacman or Flatpak repository with little effort

    the required folder/package structure for snaps is no longer open and you cannot change the default snap repository either easily

  • fun fact: the other three reactors in Chernobyl were put in operation again AFTER reactor 4 blew up
    I believe the last one for 14 additional years

    how safe that was is another question though

  • Once I realize a package is going to take ages to get ready, is it possible to safely intervene to stop the process? I try to avoid it because in general I understand arch-based distros don't like "partial" installs. But is it safe to stop compiling? No changes have yet been made, right?

    AUR helper do that user friendly, just cancel the process with CTRL-C
    the package gets installed only at the END of the compilation

    compiling manually (no PKGBUILD or AUR helper) will be different, especially if don't build a package first
    things like make install usually don't and can leave a mess

  • the work amount of backporting fixes which ARE already fixed in newer versions is also insane

    thats one of the reason why Arch Linux sticks to stable upstream versions, backporting is just not feasable on smaller teams
