I mean as you can use far newer KDE applications on Debian stable via Flatpak, it may serve the same purpose contained in a separate tree without changing the core OS.
I guess distrobox+neon would work fine yes. I just wondered the state of Flatpak with the recent changes.
I understand it won’t be trivial but I wonder if, theoretically, a team can ship & maintain a KDE 6 “flatpak” or “snap”
I mean in technical terms, not that they would with the non technical mistakes Ubuntu keeps doing.
Really weird thing is, distros and flathub kinda pushes users to do system wide installs while most of the packages can work and get updated per user. They are pushing the thing which made Windows almost impossible to use without an administrator user. A dramatic example would be gnu guix, almost never requires root for updates or installs. It is also usable by normal users. From GNU… :-)
First of all you can check distrobox.it which can basically run Neon inside your distribution however you better set a different virtual home for neon in that case.
I would first tar the .steam to be on the safe side but steam is different, it is some kind of Ubuntu stable itself residing in that directory. Not a big time gamer but people laughed at Ubuntu for shipping its snap because of it.
Long story short I don’t think steam would have issues. I meant not to expect KDE guys to revert upgraded preferences back to KDE5 etc. You know they do such things and blame Linux/KDE etc.
If you use a rolling/half rolling release like Tumbleweed/Fedora, Nouveau is pretty usable and it progresses. That is unless you are a gamer or do AI stuff. It is Nvidia who had to provide an open source driver to their customers. I don’t think Nvidia customers figure they are customers, not beggars as they don’t demand it. That even includes governments and the military.
A separate /home can save you hours or even days in several occasions however don’t try crazy things like trying to have KDE of Ubuntu share same theme/settings with KDE6. A /var on a fast drive can create wonders too.
Unsurprisingly it is the gigantic EA application which breaks Sims 4 most of the times. It crashes, Steam notices non zero exit and gives up.
EA isn’t so managed so they don’t even reach MS to stop pushing alpha/beta updates to stable version of their apps via Winget. So you can guess how much they will care about Linux issues. I mean Steam guys won’t really hack their binaries to fix it so it is up to them.
IMHO with 5+G and symmetric 1G+ speeds becoming generic soon, it seems “network is the computer” minus Ellison’s evil intentions happening.
Even today, most people can’t or won’t own a top end GPU with a decent amount of memory. Ok you can afford it but it will be outdated in 6 months. I would get a service instead so I really wouldn’t care about pixels per second.
I am telling these as a person who uses Wayland for a very long time even on GPUs including nv9400, thanks to Nouveau. So I don’t have anything against Wayland but same time, I am using X remote functionality every single day to do things.
The colour correcting capabilities are just getting stable, developers are systemd like arrogant and disconnected from real life.
ROTFL -34 for now. This isn’t Reddit, post (joke) doesn’t get hidden.
This is absurd anyway.
There is something working out there which can be implemented by anyone even including entire countries and we keep seeing YouTube links everywhere. Even NASA gave up their streaming service. It once supported any kind of player and they didn’t even need to pay for it. Any streaming host will carry NASA TV, they may even pay extra for the privilege.
This isn’t ignorance, some people are getting paid big time. Also a reminder for countries other than USA: You are using a American company service which is bound to American laws. You are also sending your citizens and their money to a foreign service.
You either have to learn very advanced, current security stuff and completely understand the logic of Linux security or pay significant sum to a person who knows to do criminal things on any Linux or protect your private life. Windows? Multiply time& money by 10X. Unless you are Fortune 500 or a government you aren’t getting the source anyway.
I am telling it to people who will install any ISO blindly paying significant amounts of cash to VPN services with their own credit cards and access their Gmail :-)
This is what so called open ai does. It isn’t open even in the sense of open group Unix. I just feel pity for American tax payers as elections are near. Both of these people have significant say in US/World politics.
Remember even large corporations standardising on truly open protocols can be reversed after whatever the situation leading up to it is resolved.
I just remember Jabber/XMPP federation which included Google. Once Google decided they got big enough, they abandoned it. Of course nothing happened to the protocol itself, it is well and alive both on Fortune 500 and selected as official choice for presence protocol on internet2.edu
I don’t like bluesky because I don’t like it’s owner. I don’t like the owner because he thinks everyone is dumb and forgot the fact that nobody pointed a gun on his face to sell Twitter to some Arab dictators.
Link gives 404 error. Perhaps change it to archive.org or fix?
Actually after noticing the general user profile here, I plan another exodus to some place else.
There is a demo application on Android (IAT) which can detect/flag any problematic looking photo. A tech like that (preferably foss) can be integrated to something and help overhelmed admins. Do not test it with problematic stuff Obviously it shouldn’t auto anything like Zuck does.
What is the point of posting this publicly? Like any CP, you should clean your cache/history in the most secure way possible (e.g. foss bleachbit) and alert both admins and the FBI.
That $40K is way more than it seems and it is still cheap. To give an idea about the cutting edge hardware prices back in the day, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_2250?wprov=sfla1
The price you are reading is correct, $2M today. That is what happens when you want 1024×1024 display and pointing device like that NSA spy girl.
I think one should compare it to an entry level AIX/Power system or HP/UX. Apple does still have certified UNIX OS too.
It will be isolated in its own directory, as I said I think distrobox.it+neon+, own home will be a far better solution of course. I keep hearing Flatpak is adding snap-like deeper features so I wondered how far it went. About the KDE 6 being unstable: I think they wanted to ship something out and for people preferring stability, 5.x LTS will be there for a long time.
