Newer software is nice, it’s not too much trouble.

I bet that feels so good as the patient.

The fork is called UZDoom and it’s already in the AUR. I read the Slashdot story on this today, and there’s a little more going on here. AI code grosses people out, but the bigger issue is that it’s being used in a GPL3 project which kind of isn’t allowed. The lead dev was also being a bit of a twat and not cooperating with the community. Long live UZDoom!

When?

These days the things that really differentiate distros are: installer, default desktop environment, packaging, packages.

This is why I’ve never liked the idea of flatpak, it really seems like the Windows way of doing things. It honestly still kind of surprises me that Linux people really wanted to download random binaries from non-trusted distributors that contain a copy of every library that software needs to run. wedontdothathere.jpg

I actually just switched from a laptop with 4G of RAM this year. It had a spinny drive so it was a little slow, but I was really only using it to watch videos over the network. This was all very snappy once it booted. Opening Firefox was pretty painful and would cause swapping though.

Cinnamon is a super simple DE for simple people. I don’t mean this as an insult, some people just never even think to customize their computer and are scared by settings and options. Just use KDE if it has features you like, you clearly sound like you’re up for the change.

Continue to not give it, what do you mean?

I’m not sure, but those 3 features sound very basic and easy to implement. Sounds like a simple tasks app to me unless there’s more advanced behavior I’m not aware of. I’ve been cranking out pyqt projects lately and got decent at doing it pretty fast, I’m between projects at the moment :)

DIY!

I’ll write one for you when I’m bored if you can give me an example json file.

Surely people will flock to communism when we show them we don’t know what a meme is.

A refurb!

Modern KDE isn’t bad on resource usage either. You just want the old school look, but you’re not actually on obsolete hardware :)

You don’t need Trinity for that, you can theme up KDE Plasma 6 to look and feel old school too.

It’s clickbait, the title implies that something wrong happened in this situation when no such thing occurred.

This is clickbait. tl;dr a guy released MIT-licensed software, Microsoft forked and renamed it as they’re legally allowed to do. Hell they could even close the source and sell it if they wanted to.

I’ve never heard of the SUNXI kernel before, turns out it’s just Linux that focuses on support for ARM SoCs from Allwinner.

For desktop use, the biggest thing as of late has been compromised flatpak’s or appimages. Like others have said Linux users are usually more technical but more importantly we install almost all of our software from trusted repositories instead of exe’s from random websites. Flatpak and appimage brings the bad security hygiene of Windows to Linux. Honorable mention goes to typosquatting programming libraries, but that mostly affects developers and not normal desktop users.

I made a speedrun timer for gzdoom: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gzdoom-speedrun-timer/
