Is it? They provide LTS as a base since they don't want to deal with bleeding edge packages breaking something for end users or devs, but they manually override a few packages with their own to show off their latest work. Seems like a good deal.

For those upgrading, you might run into some bugs but there's a lot of documentation of them on their bugtracker now thankfully.

In my experience, my main panel disappeared and I had to re add a bunch of the dbus services that disappeared too but I think they've been sorted with hotfixes since yesterday.

Eh. Crossplatform isnt the problem here; Xamirin is. There's a host of next gen cross platform frameworks like Flutter, React Native, Blazor that save you having to maintain two distinct apps; something that's only going to add a bunch of developer burden

Same day he threatened muslims with Trump if they didnt vote for him, he was offering deals with the person he claims to vehemently oppose.

I mean this is just like with all VR headsets. Most people simply dont need to have a screen strapped to their face, let alone at the cost of 3,000 buckaroos

ah i thought it was based on activity (though Reddit wrongly likes to correlate the two)

Dating apps all cannibalised their own services by creating tiered access. amazing work besties

Considering im one of the top 35,000 most active users on reddit yet havent used the site since July last year, I cant see why

Which is funny because of how easy it is to circumvent

I haven't used my reddit account the API change, beyond maybe 3 or 4 comments. I got an invite. How the fuck was I one of their top 35k most active users? Seems like their site isnt nearly as active as they're claiming

It does, but the problem with laptops is that their external outputs (HDMI etc.) are often only connected to the dGPU.

If you want to hook your laptop up to a TV or monitor you need to log out of your system, log back in with drivers and compositor reconfigured to use your dGPU. It's part of why I moved from my 1650Ti gaming laptop to a notebook only using AMD's integrated graphics - it just felt beyond janky

Meanwhile, I had to reinstall my dualboot of mint because without it I dont have a working grub configuration to boot into KDE Neon. I spent a very bitter sunday convincing myself I could find a solution that doesnt involve keeping a 64GB partition on my home directory purely to appease the fucking UEFI gods.

i never had much issue with Nvidia on wayland, but KDE Plasma sadly has quite poor support for graphics switching out of the box. Then again, only Sys76 and Pop! ever got that down to what I'd call "seamless"

I'd argue GNOME has a better native app ecosystem. they have the resources to maintain a massive selection of "official" apps

KDE's weakness to GNOME is definitely the range and quality of its homegrown apps, but the 'core' apps like Kate, Kalculator, Konsole are really solid.

Oh not just me? amazing lmao

For what it's worth, there're some upcoming wayland protocols that will allow apps to announce their content type (ie. documents, games, media etc.) to the compositor which might finally mean Wayland will consider not going to sleep when a game is running

No idea!

Going from publicly-available info though:

Rpi4B - 6.4W max (more like 5 in real world usage)

Cpu case fan - 1.4W

2x SSD - ~6W each

13.8 to ~18 depending on what the SSDs are pulling i guess. I use it as an *arr seedbox and plex server (up to 1080p h264 works flawlessly!) as well as nextcloud

They're not betting on winning. They're betting on Yuzu developers being too poor to fight back

Even new Lenovo laptops can usually be bought direct without Windows

Terminal with GUI drop down menus every time you try and type something seems like the kind of Terminal a microsoft executive would dream up
