stella, in What has been your experience with Flatpak?

Good for software that isn’t available any other way.

I never use flatpaks if something is available in the Manjaro repository or AUR.

stella, in This week in KDE: Plasma 6 Alpha approaches

Maybe it’s just me, but I love KDE5 so much I’m just not looking forward to 6.

lascapi, in 10 REASONS why Linux Mint is the desktop OS to beat in 2023

I love how it’s focused on stabilty in UI/UX and that it’s supported by a lots of peoples around the world.

You could try dexed, it’s a YamahaDX7 clone github.com/asb2m10/dexed/releases

prunerye, in FOSS 88 key pianos

I’ve never dived into this, but if electronic keyboards are just glorified midi-controllers, I’d have to think you could find a FOSS solution. If they’re not simply midi-controllers, I wouldn’t begin to know. I’d imagine you might have an easier time with keyboards from the 90s or whenever.

SGHFan, in Red Hat paywall?! How the Raleigh giant divided the open source community.

I flip the bird at the Red Hat building every time I pass it.

billwashere,

Hello fellow Raleighen… Raleighite… Raleighian?

I also don’t know what the terminology is. I’m in North Raleigh, and I sometimes go to downtown.

billwashere,

Used to live in Cary, now in Clayton (house prices… geez). Work at State so I see that giant Redhat building everyday. Hell I’m on Centennial campus so they used to be down the street.

ransomwarelettuce, in How to choose a computer/laptop/device that is better compatible with linux? Are there certain things to look out for when shopping?

In my experience it comes down to avoid nvdia and check for the network/wifi chipset support on linux.

Don't besmirch Red Hat this way. Red Hat is as dead as Sun Microsystems at this point. They're just being Weekend at Bernie's-ed by IBM. Despite IBMs promise of independent operation and business as usual.

ieatpillowtags,

A colorful image but what does that even mean? I get not liking their decisions but they’re hardly dead…

Red Hat is gone. The leadership, vision, people, and culture that made Red Hat Red Hat are gone. IBM has completely taken over internally. Red Hat's logo is being paraded around to keep people complacent due to their former reputation.

ieatpillowtags,

I think it’s a cop out to blame any of this on IBM as these kinds of changes started before the acquisition.

I also don’t know who you mean when you say the people are gone as most of the executive leadership have been with the company for a decade or two.

I guess I was sad when they killed shadowman but that was before IBM too!

stella,

they’re hardly dead…

It’s a matter of perspective. Just like how microsoft is dead for a lot of us because we don’t use their products, the same can be said about IBM and red hat.

noddy, in FOSS 88 key pianos

I guess the closest to a decent FOSS piano plugin is MDA Piano, or perhaps search for piano samples. Perhaps someone has created a decent piano preset for the dexed FM synth (but will probably sound very 80s). I’m using pianoteq (unfortunately proprietary, but it has native linux support and sounds good).

ZeroEcks, in Is gnome going to become proprietary?

Probably not

fafok20662, in Is gnome going to become proprietary?

“What’s the usecase for issue trackers?”

djsaskdja, in Is gnome going to become proprietary?

Only if they’re trying to completely kill their own project lol.

No. Why would they do that?.

So that people can't easily track how much time is spent on getting round window corners compared to how much time is spent not implementing thumbnails in a file chooser dialog?

18 years, by the way.

I, just 10 minutes ago, was looking for an artwork of mine to upload here on lemmy. I gave up. It’s beyond insane to not have a thumb nail option in the browser for a file upload.

KISSmyOS,

This also sent me last week. What in the actual FUCK?

stella, (edited )

Gnome3 devs prioritize what makes their jobs easier over what makes user experiences better.

I recommend switching to KDE if you want a DE with more features.

GustavoM, in Phew, no windows
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Filter windows…

YES

madmaurice, (edited ) in Is gnome going to become proprietary?
@madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

But closed source projects still get bug reports. The users just can’t fix it themselves. So where’s the advantage?

Kata1yst,
@Kata1yst@kbin.social avatar

Accountability. The Dev is wishing others couldn't see the backlog and their decision process publicly.

WallEx,

So petty
