The software will likely work, but keep in mind that you’ll have to add VM startup time when you want to use the software. I have occasionally seen software behave strangely in a VM as well, so best to just try it.
Can you share the software you went to use? Maybe there’s a good Linux alternative or someone knows how to get it working in wine.
Is this the one using the open source kernel module?
He’s just not fully materialized yet.
It’s based on Iced, but it looks like they have their own fork. Anyone know how extensive their changes are and how much gets merged upstream?
I’m curious what you use it for. I use Ivy and it had good fuzzy matching.
Sega Dreamcast. It had and IMO still has some of the most unique games ever. Crazy Taxi, Powerstone, Jet Set Radio, the list goes on!
Taking your data to flavortown!
"The global video game business is big but barely growing, Spencer noted to me. One measure, from industry research firm Newzoo, estimates that 2023 game industry revenues were up just 0.6% from 2022. "
So still growth and a little bit more revenue. Total justification for mass layoffs. 🙄
I don’t use Flatpak much, but I rarely see issues. Sometimes I see minor things like themes not quite being right, but its never been bad enough for me to spend the time to fix it.
I suppose another downside is the need to have the base runtime packages, so it could take more disk space if each app uses a different one. In practice apps will share runtimes though.
I have an original Deck and I love it! They didn’t make it more powerful or anything like that so I feel no need to upgrade.
The special edition with the orange accents is sexy though!
I use EndeavourOS with KDE and it’s wonderful!
Does anyone know offhand the issues Calamares has with Xfce?
Came here to say exactly this.
I’d trust the piracy sites more actually. We don’t voluntarily give them our credit card and address.
I think it’s something being worked on. Unfortunately I can’t recall the details offhand.
Clearly you’ve never read Hacker News. :)
Every point I’ve made has several threads on pretty much every Hacker News post about Mozilla or Firefox.
I was using Firefox when it was still called Phoenix, and I switched to Chrome briefly about 10 years ago when it was actually a bit better than Firefox. At the time, most people I knew in the tech sector were using Firefox. It’s Firebug extension was a major boost for development. Chrome was a bit better and their dev tools were even better than Firebug at the time.
I switched back to Firefox when I saw the direction Google was taking it, and I know a lot of other people did as well. Still, many people stayed with Chrome. There’s no shortage of comments on Hacker News about “I dropped Firefox because X” or “I tried to switch to Firefox but X”, where X is one of the things I mentioned.
Chrome got to where it was in no small part to us “computer people” saying it was good. And now not enough of us are saying Firefox is good. It breaks my heart to see so many young and smart developers choosing Chrome.
We’re heading back to the bad old days of IE dominance, with proprietary extensions, playing fast and loose with standards, and market dominance pushing for things that only benefit one company. ActiveX still gives me nightmares.
I’ve never understood the logic of people who switched to Chrome from Firefox.
Mozilla has an overpaid CEO, so let’s switch to a browser that’s run by one of the richest companies on the planet. Firefox broke some extension, so let’s switch to a browser that has an even worse extension model. Firefox shows client side ads that are easily disabled, so let’s switch to a browser actually run by an ad tech company. Firefox changed the UI to look like Chrome (and they hate the design), so I guess switch to Chrome?
It makes no sense…
Please stop using Chrome
Are they not sending out emergency messages via the cell network? Is it not on local news and the radio? Doesn’t YouTube have the ability to inject regional advertising? Are they not even putting up road signs mentioning the evacuation?
I don’t get how it’s Facebook’s problem when not everyone has a Facebook account and there are many other (better) avenues.
Maybe I’m missing something about the infrastructure in more remote areas?
Same here. Endeavour has been solid.
Same.
I use Bortmatic to manage my repos and I pay a little bit to BorgBase for offsite backup of my important stuff.
