It looks like they are riding the AI wave to bring more features that are just good, local ML-based, and I'm all in for it. Firefox Translation is a great recent example, it's good.

Same, their local translation tech is absolutely great! If they keep working "AI" features that are pretty much quality of life ML stuff I'm all in for it.

The point is pushing for wider free software adoption by organizations such as governments that are trying to meet ecologically "green" objectives.

Long story short, there was a bug with apt that Pop!_OS didn't patch before the release. They did so after the latest version at the time was released. Had he updated his system before trying to install Steam, it'd never happened, that's the worst part.

Definitely not involved with the project, just interested in seeing it develop 😅

KDE Eco is (AFAIK) a project by the KDE folks to try and push for better optimizations for energy efficiency for software projects in general and to try and push for free software adoption by governments with the main push being the limits of software support by companies and the landfill that limited support creates.

My main hope for this is that their feedback helps the development of benchmarking and profiling tools on Linux. They do have quite a bunch of experience with them that could be really useful.

more people than you would imagine, unfortunately

the main takeaway from this is that when this becomes the default, eventually electron apps will also have this by default

it's a project with a cohesive idea of what it wants to build, to a certain extent they are perfectly right to stand with "their way or the highway"

this isn't an apple thing, it's just that in the operating system market there isn't any other example of someone having a defined idea of what they want to build

KDE tries to be all of those things, but trying to cast too wide of a net just gets you a mess of settings and unfortunately buggy experience overall

small edit: I have a ton of respect for the KDE devs, I just realized I've been sounding too negative about them, I just don't like the end product

it's something I've been pointing out for almost half a decade now, the main problem with KDE isn't any of the bugs, it's the lack of vision of what the project wants to be

it ends up being a mix of windows with now GNOME's design due to it never being able to say no when people want "more features and more preferences"

Yeah, forgot the Korean term for it, but it's basically potato potato

mfw the zaibatsu does zaibatsu things

it totally does, it's pretty easy to install and run on regular distros and just a bit more work to do in immutable ones, but with davincibox it's bound to get better

It is, but when it comes to more complex needs, it falls short. It is really good for simpler editing needs and it is getting better fast.

DaVinci Resolve is THE video editor on Linux. Unfortunately the libre apps for it don't get even close, to the point that even with all the limitations in the free and paid versions, it still is the best option.

Also shout out to Bitwig Studio, although I don't use it.

extremely common Ubuntu L

make sure the hardware really works

Also make sure the software really works, one of the main issues with Linux adoption by hardware manufacturers is their lack of dedication to it. In Brazil, for example, most brands that ship with a Linux distro (except for DELL, which ships with Ubuntu) ship with basically digital waste (unmantained, poorly developed distros) just to make the hardware cheaper, because they know people will get it to just install a pirated copy of Windows in it.

Can we please, in the year of the lord and savior, stop linking to flatkill for once? They have been debunked at least 5 different times at this point, so let me link to a couple of them: https://orowith2os.gitlab.io/posts/Flatpak-an-insecurity-nightmare/

Some of your points aren't bad, just not up to date to what most of the ecosystem has been doing for a while now.

Nope, I'm not the developer, I just found it really interesting and decided to share

• Reason n.1: a stabler distro that doesn't lose when it comes to being up to date, as the equivalent to arch is rawhide
• Reason n.2: a better, less toxic community
• Reason n.3: Fedora is community-based, it is sponsored by RH but it does not dictate what the project does
• Reason n.4: fedora docs is really good (and getting better), the only documentation locked behind a login is RH's, fedora's always been open to read and to contribute

I could keep going.
