Its one of the oldest ways people disribute linux sources, and while it seems dumb, its actually good because regions with poor or no internet can also be served.

I would unironically recommend arch to anyone who has a large steam library, and id recommend KDE Plasma as the desktop. Valve uses Arch as a base, and KDE as their desktop mode environment, so a lot of games on steam are tested in this environment via proton.

I would not recommend it to newcomers to start with, but as a “learn about linux and work your way towards arch” type of ordeal. Arch would be the endgoal, not the starting line.

Why are we putting decentralized money on a centralized platform that has no way of insuring the money if it gets stolen…

Did deep sleep broke for anyone else recently or is it just me?

I was running KDE Neon on ThinkBook 15 G2 and had deep sleep working after adding mem_sleep_default=deep to GRUB_CMDLINE. It worked for a while until it didn’t. I didn’t do anything other than running regulat updates. Since couple weeks back, when going to sleep, it shows BIOS Recovery progress bar or something and restarts....

Im in the same boat. Been using wayland since around that version or a little later and it has only been uphill (except for right now since i am on the development build and Qt broke itself causing the system config menu to fail to load 80% of KCMs, but this is my fault for switching to alpha software lol)

My thing with blahaj is that while its cool that trans people identify with it, the fact that theyre trying to make it universally only be a trans symbol is a bit problematic.

My family has a few and none of us are trans as far as we know. Theyre comfy and cuddly as fuck, and I feel like its something that should be for “everybody” and not just one particular community. Like a bring-us-all-together kind of thing.

To be clear, I’d have just as much of a problem with it if it were becoming a symbol for some other completely unrelated community too, so it’s not the specific community claiming it I have an issue with (trans people are people, and a lot of y’all are really awesome)

The real answee is CI/CD DevOps pipelines.

What this means is that, when I as a developer push changes to my dev branch in my code repository, a bunch of scripts and stuff automatically test my code for a bunch of things, and if all of those tests pass, another script is run that pushes the code to my main branch and then compiles my app from the main code, and finally the last script pushes the compiled “artefact” out to the public (.exe’s out on a webpage to download, a linux package gets pushed out to repos and to Flathub, Android apps get pushed to the Play and/or F-Droid stores, Apple stuff gets sent to an Apple computer and compiled and uploaded to the App store, etc.)

It streamlines the development process and makes life on the developer so, so much easier while making sure bugs also get fixed for users much quicker and the app stays more stable.

I mean, they can start federating, nothing but time and money is stopping them most likely. Maybe you could drive an effort in their respective developer communities to get the ball rolling?

Bro the AI neural networks have been shown to be building internal world models to be able to do what they do. How is that not thinking?

I am so sick of this anthrocentrism, as if we are special because we are humans. The computers are now doing the same mathematical processes our brains are doing. The LLMs can be compared to a small subsection of our brains. String enough neural network based AIs together with different tasks and youll get sentience.

Sentience isnt required for “thinking” to happen, thinking is one of the building blocks for sentience.

Plasma on Arch. Considering switching to Plasma 6 beta to help bugtest and get the new shinies early.

KDE is very receptive to community help! I can only think of one specific example in KDE history where a developer dragged their feet in the mud about a change the community wanted/submitted pull requests for, and thats the vertical HTML indicator bar in kmail.

Gnome on the other hand…

Micro***t Word on Linux and alternatives

Are there good Microsoft word alternatives that support Linux (I don’t mind closed source)? Libreoffice is meh and only office is quite good, but are there any better ones? Also, is there a way to install word on Linux using wine? When I do that my laptop just overheats and loses internet connection.

semperverus,
@semperverus@lemmy.world avatar

For me, I use the office suite at work, and one of the simplest things that makes me wish i could use it at home is that damn search bar in the top.

After that, I appreciate that libreoffice introduced the ribbon UI. I grew up with word 2003, so i know what it was like, but after they introduced the ribbon ui, it immediately felt more easy to use. Especially the style picker.

Sad to see that it’s GTK-based. Cool concept overall though, I may give it a shot at some point to compare to CoreCTRL

Please tell me you all read the change notes instead of hoping someone else would do it for you

ADWSteamGTK makes steam look more inline with GTK (flathub.org)

I was watching InfinitelyGalactic recent video on Linux mint and he highlighted this program. Works really well I’ve always found steam to be a bit unruly within my desktop especially as I run the forge gnome extension, which further exacerbates the weird behaviours. Supports most of the big colour schemes so finding something...

What if the DE you’re using is on x11

If that’s the case, now you have to do what us wayland users have had to suffer through this whole time and set an environment variable to tell it to run in X11 mode :)

If an application only ships with Wayland, then… well, I guess you’re using Wayland now.

Wayland is X12 - this is a “get onboard or get left behind” proposition. Nobody’s forcing you to switch to Wayland, but life is going to really start sucking for you soon.

As with all Open Source, it requires someone who wants to continue to support it to do so. If nobody wants to support X11 anymore, then it’s either your responsibility to pick up where they left off and code the X11 stuff yourself (and ideally give back to the community that’s been giving to you this whole time), or pay someone else a lot of money to do it. You don’t get to complain about something being given to you for free suddenly not being maintained otherwise.

That’s understandable, and I did technically answer your question, but 99 times out of 100, when someone asks the question you did, it’s out of spite and anger at Wayland becoming default and then the conversation devolves into massive bickering. I was stopping that before it started. I’m not going to reply nicely in case it’s the 1 out of 100 chance it was just technical ignorance.

Cheers and I hope your day goes well.
