KDE Connect on KDE distros, just feels part of the KDE experience

I always use Flatpaks when available, I have been using it for about 1~2 years and honestly, I haven't found any issues that are deal breakers, mostly some missing storage permissions, but KDE makes this easy to deal with. I know some apps have some issues, but the biggest one that I had is that Steam Flatpak still requires Steam-Devices to be installed as a package, but that's more to do with the way Steam Input works.

The only issue that I have is that uninstalling Flatpaks should present an option to delete the app data.

Not going to lie, I hate the middle click clipboard and disable it ASAP. I really dislike the idea that it copies things without my explicit permission.

Really hope the Rif dev creates something for Lemmy, last I heard he was going to develop for another social network

Keep in mind that because MicroOS, Leap Micro and Aeon have icons already set, this means that whoever design the rest will be restricted by the currently existing ones.

Like, both MicroOS and Leap Micro have a horizontal line and a circle in the middle. And Leap Micro basically forces a new design of Leap logo to be almost exactly like the previous one. And Aeon has the middle circle of Micro, but split into two, so Kalpa should also have the split circle somewhere.

That said, I'm not exactly a fan of the MicroOS, Leap Micro and Aeon logos. They are just outlines, and very thin. I understand that logos need to work in monochrome, but they are just.... Anorexic. Would prefer if there was an entire rebranding

It makes me really mad cause YouTube is clearly taking ideas from Material Design 3, and even M3 recommends customizing it, but the way YouTube has done it is to make components smaller and harder to use in comparison to canonical M3. Like the bottom bar which is way thinner than the M3 one in comparison.

It makes YouTube look like it's using a M3 knockoff

A family member always downloaded and installed APKs from the internet and didn't know about the Play Store cause that is how you did things on Windows.

The person is question has low tech literacy, and they were doing this for years

I'm really looking forward to the clone app feature being backed into AOSP. Hopefully LineageOS gets updated pretty soon as it was the case with Android 13

Power users live in a weird paradox state, cause they are the most likely to even find a well hidden feature, and yet, they always complain even when all that was added was a dialog asking for yes or no

So one big disk for your Steam library and whatever you play might be slow on the first load but then as you play the game files gets promoted to the NVMe cache and perform mostly at NVMe speeds, and your loading screens are much shorter.

I really love/hate how you can immediately understand the practical application of new technologies through the use of games.

Who was the incredible smart person to name a new distro with a similar name to another, older, Linus distro? ChimeraOS

O negócio é absolutamente insano, ex-presidente que vive xingando as urnas eletrônicas têm encontro com hacker, e o hacker foi chamado pela maluca que saiu atirando nas vésperas da eleição. Não tem como ficar mais absurdo...

... Esse aí é a porra do ráquer de Araraquara? O mesmo maluco que vazou as conversas do Moro e do Dallagnol?

Gostaria apenas de intervir por um momento. O que você está se referindo como BRICS é, na verdade, GNU/BRICS, ou como tenho chamado recentemente, GNU mais BRICS. BRICS não é um sistema operacional em si, mas sim um outro componente gratuito de um sistema GNU totalmente funcional, tornando-se útil graças às bibliotecas principais do GNU, utilitários de shell e componentes vitais do sistema que compõem um sistema operacional completo, conforme definido pelo POSIX.

Muitos usuários de computador executam uma versão modificada do sistema GNU todos os dias, sem perceber. Por uma reviravolta peculiar dos acontecimentos, a versão do GNU amplamente usada hoje é frequentemente chamada de "BRICS", e muitos de seus usuários não têm consciência de que é basicamente o sistema GNU, desenvolvido pelo Projeto GNU.

Realmente existe um BRICS, e essas pessoas o estão usando, mas ele é apenas uma parte do sistema que eles utilizam. BRICS é o núcleo: o programa no sistema que aloca os recursos da máquina para os outros programas que você executa. O núcleo é uma parte essencial de um sistema operacional, mas é inútil por si só; ele só pode funcionar no contexto de um sistema operacional completo. BRICS é normalmente usado em combinação com o sistema operacional GNU: o sistema como um todo é basicamente o GNU com o BRICS adicionado, ou GNU/BRICS. Todas as chamadas distribuições "BRICS" são na verdade distribuições do GNU/BRICS.

If you use Flatpak from the start, the storage thing becomes less of an issue.

Flatpak only takes considerably more space because people use Flatpak as a last resort or too late into the life of the current installation, as flatpak will have too many requirements for too little apps.

As far as I know, Flatpaks have the best foundation currently, there are a number of issues, but they are fixable and not entirely by design. And with Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite and OpenSUSE MicroOS you can really see how native debs/rpms/whatever isn't really that good of an idea for the average user and Flatpak is a solution to that.

Appimages at a glance seems like a perfect solution for apps that for some reason or another needs to be kept outdated. But there is (was?) an issue of it not really bundling everything it needs, it looks and behaves as it is portable, but as far as I'm aware, it really isn't.

And then there's Snap. Yeah, that one is just weird, it honestly just doesn't feel like a proper solution to any of the problems it tries to fix.

I will copy a comment I made a week ago in another thread:

It was five years after her first Android phone that I noticed that when asked to install an app, my aunt proceeded to download an APK from a random website and installed that rather than using the Play Store. In fact, I think she didn't even know the Play Store was a thing, and she was on her third android phone already.

She isn't tech-savvy, she did that because that is how she did on Windows. After that, I just accepted that things need to change in a way that might annoy me.

That is to say that while the solution found by Google has a bunch of drawbacks, and I'd prefer if old games and unmaintained apps were left alone, I don't think it was a totally wrong decision (this time).

I'm mostly using Flatpaks on Tumbleweed, I only use the package manager if I can't find a Flatpak version. Reason for that is that with Flatpak I can precisely know what I manually installed, as Tumbleweed lacks a proper easy way of getting a list of user installed packages

Alright, so what extensions are you guys looking forward to? On mobile I don't think about it too much cause most of the websites I use on Desktop I use as apps on Android, so a couple of website specific extensions are useless for me

Devices for LineageOS and I then use the official website to validate it, as well as GSMArena Phone Finder
