In the original post on GitHub it’s mentioned that it was a manual review

I don’t really think that’s fair. I agree with your suggestion that it should be a multiplatform DE rather than just its own distro but I think having polished and design opinionated distros is important. I know a few Mac guys who have become interested in Linux when they heard about ElementaryOS.

I get that a lot of people hate on GNOME too for being annoying to customise and being highly opinionated but I think that’s the key to getting the average person interested in Linux. The average person just wants their desktop to look nice out of the box and maybe offer a dark mode. Anything more than that gets too complicated.

Edit: and yeah having access to programs like the MS apps is important but it’s not like that has to come before having an appealing desktop

There are actual physical mushroom stores in my city even though it’s not legal in Canada. There’s one a few minutes away from me called The Mush Room. I love to see it, it reminds me of when weed was about to get legalized and stores were popping up before it was official.

I just want a small phone again. Wish they’d bring back the Minis

From my experience, companies would rather just pay for a commercial license. Anything abnormal gets trashed and banned in my company.

I think it’s more easy to understand “pay exactly this amount to use commercially” than the legal and accounting teams trying to work out how much to pay when you say 1% of their revenue to FOSS software. You can always donate the profits anyway

Ah damn, was worth a try I guess. Does seem like it’s a hardware issue then and needs a repair

Have you tried a BIOS update? I had an issue with my screen and thought I needed repair but it turns out some hardware issues are linked to the BIOS. These are the instructions steam support gave me, just on the off chance they help you:

To update to that BIOS you will need to opt into the ‘Main’ OS update channel:\

• Turn on Developer settings (steam button > settings > system > ‘Enable Developer Mode’)
• Turn on ‘Show Advanced update Channels’ in developer settings (steam button > settings > developer settings)
• Set Deck to ‘Main’ in OS Update Channel (steam button > settings > system)
• Select Apply under ‘Software Updates’ above and then select the ‘Restart’ once it is done.
• Once the Deck restarts and has loaded to the OS, unplug the external monitor to test if the Deck’s internal screen is now displaying correctly.

Are there any plans for enabling a global menu like Unity had or if writing an extension for one is possible? I miss it every day 😅.

It’s looking great though! I’m very hyped to try it

I remember back like ten years ago, you had to run Steam inside wine if you wanted to even begin the process of getting a game to run on Linux.

It’s incredible how far we’ve come since then. Most of the time I don’t even bother checking compatibility before installing something. Most of the time it just works as if I was running Windows.

It’s probably cocaine

Yeah that’s me. I signed up for and used beehaw for a month before switching to my current lemmy.ca. My old account would definitely be counted the same way as someone who signed up, got bored and left

That does seem more like their kind of style

Fish’s autocomplete is enough for me. I do like having Copilot in my editor but I can’t really think of a reason I’d need it in my terminal. Most of my time in the terminal is just installing things, git or moving things around and I have all those commands down as muscle memory.

At that point, they were also open source which was super cool. I always wanted that profile badge you got for submitting a merged PR.

Reddit really went downhill fast after ~2015. I think Lemmy will get there eventually. I remember reddit being a lot smaller back then as well. It took a while to get to the point where niche communities could thrive and I do believe we’ll see that happen here as well (even if it takes a decade or so)

That makes it even worse then 😅. The whole thing seems kind of silly

Does it actually make sense to call it free nginx? It seems like that’d just cause confusion, especially if the projects diverge. Most of the time when this happens they choose a new name (like MariaDB vs MySQL)

That being said, I wish the project all the best. I use nginx both professionally and personally so I’ll be keeping an eye on this.

Demon Souls, Bloodborne and Last of Us (before it came to PC) for me. I use my PC connected to my TV 90% of the time but the monthly games with a PS subscription are pretty nice

Sun news in Canada is generally very right wing. I’m surprised they’re even acknowledging climate change here

Glad it’s working for you! :)
