Oh lawd, another thing to check out

Both GIMP 3 RC1 and FreeCAD 1.0 in the same month, damn

Let’s Encrypt is amazing, but are there any equally trustworthy alternatives people could switch to if something bad happens to it?

Last time I ran a corporate-made installer, it caused massive graphical glitches and lock-ups after waking from sleep. It basically gave my system computer-AIDS.

That’s why I never run scripts which are too long for me to easily understand outside a sandbox. Official distro repositories and Flatpaks are the only sources I have some level of trust in.

Touchscreens can stay, but only for non-essential tasks like changing settings or entering addresses. Climate, media, and all other controls you usually use while driving should be tactile by mandate.

The new UI and effects look stunning, but I’m concerned about the new corporate direction the project is taking

For Windows and Mac, yes. V1 was very polished when I used it back in the day, I assume V2 is the same. For Linux, fuck no. They don’t care one bit about that OS.

I tried it with bottles. It installed fine after manually installing dotnet 4.8, but I couldn’t get Affinity Photo itself to run, even after extensive tweaks. All I get is an exception without any description in the terminal output.

The thing it can do best is bewilder developers with it’s strange choices

Integer underflow

It’s a decent language I guess. My main criticism is that the constructor paradigm just isn’t well suited for RAII. I always find myself retrofitting Rust’s style of object creation into my C++ code.

The modern keybinds might make me drop micro for nano again

I gotta give dual booting a shot. I need windows for my college’s crappy exam software, but I also can’t afford another laptop just for Linux

One of the many reasons why I use micro

I was one if those newbies who went with Arch as their first distro, but I found my home with Fedora. It’s not the most up-to-date or polished distro, but it’s by far the best all-rounder.

I can hear this gif

I tried Silverblue a year ago on my laptop and it was quite nice. Back then I had no idehow to properly use toolbox or rpm-ostree though, so it felt quite limiting. I had to go back to Windows on my laptop because of college, but I’ll try setting up a dual boot with Silverblue once the new Fedora beta drops. If that goes well, I might even switch to atomic on my main PC.

I love documentation like this. No need to be formal when a simple analogy works too

I don’t get how you go from “Desktop distros aren’t mature enough to have every feature under the sun” to “Linux distros are shit”
