Although shaming newcomers for their distro choice is not a welcoming move 💢

Could it mean Steam Deck 2 already? 🤞

😢

I don't believe it either, I think they said it wouldn't arrive before 2025 :/

But I want it soooo much, the OLED version looks awesome but it's no an upgrade big enough to justify getting rid of my original version

Yeah, I suppose OP is from the US ?

Although it depends of the backup format :

  • If you store compressed tarballs they won't be of any benefits.
  • If you copy whole directory as is, the filesystem-level compression and ability to deduplicate data (eg. with duperemove) are likely to save A LOT of storage (I'd bet on a 3 times reduction).

Didn't GNOME support Wayland way earlier than KDE ?

That's what saved me too but I'm still stuck with unpredictable crashes, 150GB of HDD / 8GB of RAM lost in the void and bullshit ads for copilot in the lock screen ...

Thanks for the background, as a very recent nix adopter this drama seems like a lot 😥

But on Linux aren't most drivers part of the kernel?

Yeah, people who built those modern technologies are mostly over 50, I suppose.

On a lighter note, the protocol might be proprietary but the bridge still seems to be fully open source : https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge

I don't think think Proton shows bad will on this one. The only alternative I can think of (as a non expert) would be IMAP + GPG encrypted emails but very few desktop clients support GPG, which would make them less accessible 🤷‍♂️ Having their own protocol also probably makes it much much easier for them to iterate on it, opening up usually makes think much robust but also slower.

I think that's one thing about open source project : a lot of people work for free so they invest time on what they want and like. I don't know if it's what happens here, but I think in general it is not fair to ask for an optimal time management in open source communities.

It's a stay-in-the-competition one. While I would love to see a ground breaking change soon, Mozilla surely can't do that in every update.

Yeah, I don't understand how you could make installing vim simpler than pacman -S vim? Is it about "-S" being less obvious than "install"?

Well, "YOUR CODE IS GARBAGE" seems like flaming.

You, send the same message without this and it achieves exactly the same thing without the "taking it all out on someone" part 🤷

I agree : CI is required as a safety belt and then contributers can choose the workflow they prefer : format on save, manual invoke, precommit, ...

So next LTS might have to be resilient to the 2038 bug (32 bit signed timestamps overflow). I wonder how many softwares are vulnerable 🤔

Bogasse ,
@Bogasse@lemmy.ml avatar

Browsers compared themselves with this metric for a while, but they had to stop before they reached an integer overflow.

But isn’t that still on par with xorg where you can’t have any fractional scaling?

Bogasse ,
@Bogasse@lemmy.ml avatar

I suppose the Steam Deck experience would be a bit worse if it wasn’t running on Wayland 👍

Which sucks btw, it is sometimes as bad as libreoffice at being compatible with office (desktop) documents… 🙄

I used a work laptop without swap for a while and it was very anoying. RAM intensive tasks were Rust IDE integration and compilation, data engineering, …

I’ve not been around windows users for a while, but last time I checked my mom was very lost when she had to start an app which hasn’t an icon on her desktop.

More generally I heard that in general having to rely on a tutorial means bad design, which seems reasonable.

Of course it’s hard to estimate how new user will react without proper testing, I’ll trust the Gnome team who proved to be good at their job 🙂
