The native performance of this board is similar to a Raspberry Pi 3. With Box64 it’ll be significantly worse.

There’s quite a push behind RISC-V now, in part because China seems to like the idea of not being tied to American or British companies for their CPU architecture. We’ll see whether it actually pass out or not.

I don’t like GNOME, but I’ve honestly had consistently worse experiences with Cinnamon.

Yep, which also explains why a distro that comes with Cinnamon won…

Sounds like a medium t-shirt

Centralising around Flathub seems to me like it defeats the point of flatpak being able to have multiple repositories.

Looks like it’s a fork of Puppet.

I’ve done this before by packaging it in a snap. No filesystem access except its own snap directory, no network access because I didn’t request it in the snapcraft.yaml, but yes GPU and audio access through the desktop plug.

Many electron apps will break because they install some executables into ~/. config

So double win!

Depends on the use case. Definitely for my laptop though. In fact the decryption keys only exist in two places:

1. Inside my TPM
2. In a safe deposit box at a bank.

I have yet to find a distro that doesn’t run my favourite game

“Because I can” is a perfectly viable reason. Messing around and doing ridiculous things is one of the best ways to learn.

Fewer steps than yours, but I’ll claim this as a win in the “purity” field where you have to stop at the first layer where you can run a Windows app.

Linux on a RISC-V device -> container -> qemu-user + binfmt -> x86 VM software -> FreeBSD -> Linux binary compatibility -> Wine -> Windows app

Some people use plasma because they like how configurable it is. I do like that, but I’m also drawn to it because of its great defaults.

The main ways I change it are setting my background (on my work activity I have it selecting from various company related backgrounds while on my personal activity it uses a selection of my favourites of my own photos) and adjusting the bottom panel.

• I have bash scripts light and dark that make dbus calls to set my global theme to light or dark mode. I switch between them regularly, and opening system settings and pressing a button is too inconvenient.

Your first one sounds similar to me though - I use activity-aware Firefox to separate my personal and work accounts on my personal and work plasma activities.

Honestly, if it can generate subtitle files it’ll be a huge benefit to people creating subtitles. It’s way easier to start with bad subs and fix them than it is to write from scratch.

Does it still require Python 2 or did the author finally relent on that?

jq and yq are both things I install on pretty much every machine I have.

You’ve got it backwards - you need to pipe the output of yes into the input of the command:

yes | command-that-asks-a-lot-of-questions

KDE Neon - I replace the Firefox deb with the snap.

Is the guy in the top right using flux?
