For some reason I thought they had already made a nix OS

KISSmyOS,

Fire OS

Fire OS, but it was just a fork of Android. There are mobile Linux distributions (like postmarketOS), but Fire wasn’t one of them.

miracleorange,

They have, but it’s more of a container development kind of thing.

Wow, 1M it’s a lot! I wish we could have more organizations like this in more countries.

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

ipsirc,
@ipsirc@lemmy.ml avatar

Most of the terminals which support sixel doesn’t use libsixel at all, instead they’ve developed their own implementation.

See I have foot and it says it supports sixel but no sixel commands were working until I got libsixel installed

deadcatbounce, in Who uses pure GNOME (no extensions)
@deadcatbounce@reddthat.com avatar

I don’t but i note increasing difficulty in upgrading/keeping prior extensions to the new version of gnome.

For example, “recent files” extensions for the top bar used to number in the threes I think. With the last gnome version there was only one which wasn’t the most useful of the lot. I use it because it makes it easier beginning again the following day, rather than the extra step of opening the file mangler. I’ll probably go with the majority and drop it once I upgrade to Fedora 39.

Looks like gnome is becoming more useful to people in basic guise, incorporating many of the extension functions within the main GUI, and so the once popular extensions are becoming unmaintained.

ipsirc, in How to download ALL dependencies for an external .deb package (rescuezilla)?

# apt install /path/to/package.deb

@ipsirc@lemmy.ml avatar

You missed the correct path.

W: Unable to locate package ./rescuezilla_2.4.2-1_all.deb

Use the correct path to your deb file.

iturnedintoanewt,
@iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee avatar

Still not correct. The path is perfectly correct. Even using full path. This method EXPECTS a repo package, not a file. I already figured the answer, it’s in this thread.

ipsirc, (edited )
@ipsirc@lemmy.ml avatar

I think you have confused the apt command with the apt-get command. apt-get doesn’t handle files, while apt has it since the very first version. This is one of the important differences between the two commands. This was one of the main reasons why I have been using only apt for years.

iturnedintoanewt, (edited )
@iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee avatar

Again, incorrect. The answer is above. And still, you haven’t read the thread. This is NOT about getting rescuezilla to install in the current PC. This is to get it to install in a DIFFERENT PC, which happens to be OFFLINE. So apt by itself will FAIL when it tries to resolve dependencies.

IBM Plex. I like it so much that I’ve set a rule to replace commonly used fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana).

Sovereignty from whom though??

Turns out, the Germans.

Seems like a cool initiative

twei,

yes, we are quite good at funding foss

pingveno,

Sovereignty as in it is sponsored by or own by a nation-state. Similarly, Norway has a sovereign wealth fund derived from its oil profits.

caesaravgvstvs,

Yes! I just kinda posted it as a rethorical question. I think it’s important to know where the money is really coming from :)

words_number, in Fonts

I use Inter for the UI and SF Mono (from Macos) for terminal and coding.

hperrin, in Amazon Building its Own Linux-Based OS to Replace Android

Cool. Another OS to avoid.

Agreed. If it was any company at all except Amazon there would be hope but come on. We’ve all seen what they did to the fire sticks

AbidanYre,

You won’t be saying that in a couple months when Facebook makes their own announcement.

Yeah fair, not ANY company

GNOME is well deserving as the most polished and optimally performant DE. GNOME is so good, Windows 11 copied its workflow, layouts and even the taskbar right-click menu with 23H2.

simple,

and optimally performant DE

Except it’s the worst DE in terms of performance. Using KDE instead of Gnome made a big difference in my weaker laptop.

TheAnonymouseJoker, (edited )
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

GNOME is the best performing modern DE outside of lightweight nice DEs. KDE is by far the worst alongside Deepin. KDE is so crap, I had to turn off all the animations and compositor to bring CPU usage from 70 to 10-15%. This was a stock Debian 12 KDE setup on i5-7200U. GNOME in comparison idles at 1-2%, max 3%. XFCE and LXQt sit around 0.5-1%.

KDE is an absolute mess and is a hobbyist DE in comparison to the professional GNOME.

GNOME is the best performing modern DE outside of lightweight nice DEs.

This is straight up not true, GNOME is a memory hog and uses almost twice as much as KDE. I’m idling ~4% CPU usage on an i5 7300HQ, which is just barely better than yours. There’s a reason the Steam Deck opted to use KDE and not Gnome.

KDE is an absolute mess and is a hobbyist DE in comparison to the professional GNOME.

As someone who used gnome for two years, hell no. Gnome is trying too hard to be minimalist and is lacking basic features that you have to use extensions for. Extensions which, by the way, break each update and have their own bugs. I also had to use gnome tweaks for basic crap like disabling mouse acceleration. KDE is a much more polished experience for people who actually use computers, but gnome is okay if you’re just looking for something simple that looks smooth.

It is unfortunate that every GNOME critic lives in 2015, and stick to those unhinged biases.

Steam Deck’s decision to use KDE has nothing to do with performance, but with customisation of UI, which is also why they use custom compiled Arch to modify every nook and corner of what Deck runs.

7300HQ has about 1.7-2x the performance of 7200U, according to PassMark. cpubenchmark.net/…/Intel-i5-7300HQ-vs-Intel-i5-72…

KDE is a much more polished experience for people who actually use computers, but gnome is okay if you’re just looking for something simple that looks smooth.

Its cool and hipster to be delusional, but when things get professional and you want stability and performance, GNOME is unbeatable. Nobody in the real world cares about the fancy one zillion features of KDE outside hipster hobbyists.

Hahahaha cool, Linux with ads and tracking and all the spyware you could ever want.

Vincent, in GNOME Recognized as Public Interest Infrastructure

Great work by Sonny and Tobias. Really happy to hear that more effort will be invested into accessibility, as I feel it's really been lagging over the past couple of years.

barryamelton,

Accesibilty is also key for automated end-to-end tests, too.
