His coding videos are really nice to see. I donât even understand that much, as itâs mostly C++, but the coding, the explanation, and the final feature and commit is somehow relaxing.
See I found that but I still could not figure out the install process. I finally figured that libsixel was the newest one but it still seems unmaintained. I ended up compiling it from source as it was not in the fedora repos. At this point I am more confused about the correct version of sixel to use. Libsixel is the only one I can really find
Because the list is âcertifiedâ not âworks withâ - essentially, the âcertifiedâ list is for hardware that not only works, but that Canonical will guarantee works and will make software changes to fix if it breaks
Sure, but why arenât those vendors certified? Is it a lack of action on the vendorâs part? Is it a monetary problem where Canonical is demanding too much money and thus gatekeeping smaller vendors with smaller pockets from being certified? what is it?
I suspect most vendors just dgaf about being linux certified. They just build their hardware to work with Windows since that is what most people will use. If the hardware happens to work with Linux too, great. But itâs much more important to make sure it works with a system that over 90% of your users use.
If you build laptops that you deliver with a Linux system on it, then yes, you will make sure it is Linux certified and it works properly.
Itâs not difficult to imagine that for most laptops that are made, Linux wasnât even considered for a second.
I myself am currently using a Chuwi Hi10X. I donât have too many major complaints about it other than its quite underpowered. It does perform decently well until you need something graphics related then just kinda sucks. However I can use Firefox with it without any major gripes aisde from video playback, then I need to use chromium.
The desktop environment you use can actually play a massive part in its usability. I have found that GNOME is pretty much useless. KDE isnât bad but itâs still heavy. I have been testing Cosmic DE and it has been pretty good. Definitely the best performing of the bunch so when that releases Iâll probably be using that full time.
#55856 cygwin hangs during installation at libzstd1-1.5.5-1
This bug report must mean that someone, somewhere, for some reason was running cygwin under wine and cared enough about that that they would create a bug report when it failedâŠ
Iâm using a HP spectre x360 since 2020-12 and I love it so much. I donât use the tablet functionality often. The touch works pretty well as far as I can say. The notebook, even if itâs 13" ultra portable, is a little heavy for constant tablet usage. Everything else rocks aside of the thumbprint thingy. I use howdy instead.
Your daily reminder that VSCode is shit not because of telemetry (take your time foil hat off for one second and hear me out and I say that jokingly with love) but because the extension marketplace is not allowed to be accessed by third party tools (INCLUDING CODIUM) and even then many of the extensions are proprietary, closed source. Youâre not even allowed to distribute compiled VSIX files. Itâs disgusting. Reading about the troubles gitpod faced that led to the (now) Eclipse Marketplace (idk the name, but itâs for VS Code plugins, donât be tricked, itâs just owned by Eclipse foundation) is disheartening.
I think itâs even simpler than that: they want a share of Googleâs data, and more control about what ads they can show to their customers constantly. Their hardware platforms are okayish and sold for a quite low price, but they monetize it on ads.
Amazonâs Fire devices already have this, they donât use Android with Google, they use the fully open source version. They can collect any data they want already
Exactly this. Thereâs no nefarious motive to doing this, because Amazon can already do everything nefarious that they want to do with their current Android-based Fire OS.
Iâm actually willing to take Amazonâs reasoning at face value for this. They say that Android is too heavyweight and inflexible for embedded IoT devices, and that they want to build something lighter. This makes plenty of sense, and is indeed something that Google themselves have also said as justification for their move to Fuschia for their own embedded devices.
For Linux fans, itâs probably a good thing that Amazon has chosen another Linux-based architecture rather than doing as Google are doing and moving off Linux to a different kernel.
There are two options here, given that the OS seems to rely heavily on React Native to work: having the streaming APKs converted to React Native apps, or simply use the web browser and PWAs.
The Breeze app style has gotten the visual overhaul youâve all dreamed of: no more frames within frames!
Yeah, it regularly appears in my nightmares /s. Sorry Carl, but Iâm gonna have to patch this out. I hope this will get a config option like the change to the Dolphin details view that made the click area to open a file span the whole row (doesnât look like itâs configurable as of now). I kept patches to undo that for a while as wellâŠ
Spectacle has gained support for rectangular region screen recording!
Oooh, Iâve been waiting for that. Very cool! Now I hopefully donât have to fiddle around with OBS anymore to record a section of the screen.
