Same here tbh, but I never used my Linux device for it in the first place, so…

Especially if you’re using the Chaotic-AUR to get the latest updates ASAP without recompiling (like with the COPR repo on Fedora)

Wait, MX has finally been supplanted by superior options? Unbelievable!

(Still feels like an outlier when you consider actual popularity of distros)

I’ll refer you to someone that covered all this better than I could: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/21003452

Can this be used to root Android phones?

If yes, it can be useful. If not, it’s potentially problematic

I REALLY want to try PlaMo, but I wish I could use Mobile Linux on my phone. I can’t, but oh if I could, or if I could run PlaMo on Android, it would’ve been great. I once even “riced” my phone to look like Plasma Mobile.

I know, right? Quite ironic that their own devs were going on about how unhappy they were with GDM dropping X11 session support.

I seem to vaguely remember it working on Hyprland a while back, though it’s possible I’m misremembering things. Also, idk about it on Nvidia.

Yeah, but Canonical have stated they want X11 session support (for GDM to be able to launch, not necessarily for GNOME’s X11 session), for 26.04 LTS, for one last LTS.

All true. And yet, plenty of people do want to play those games. And there are other games (Borked) which also cannot be played no matter what. Really annoying, that.

Obligatory Fuck Denuvo. If I had virtually infinite money, I’d do a hostile takeover of Denuvo and burn it to the ground.

Something tells me Canonical won’t just kneel to THE ALMIGHTY GNOME TEAM

How will they reconcile this with Ubuntu that wants 26.04 LTS to still be able to launch X11 sessions from GDM?

For me, the endgame is Fedora. Your mileage may vary, however.

1. Sounds like he’s quite experienced in the area

2. Appreciate the posting on the 2nd to avoid April Fools speculay

3. That costume is an awesome way of presenting yourself to the community!

4. Sounds good and all, but seeing as he wasn’t among the most active people since 2008, are we sure there wasn’t a more qualified candidate? Nothing against the guy, I’m just saying that surely there must have been more natural choices than him.

I got quite lucky, as my first laptop when I switched to Linux, was all-AMD and I had zero AMD issues. So when I was looking for a new laptop a few months back, I stumbled upon a cheap recent Thinkpad, with great specs, all AMD, and got it ASAP. Again, zero issues. But because of the Nvidia horror stories I’ve heard, I knew that there would be no Nvidia on my new machine. That was non-negotiable.

Sober works great, and is the only method that still works from the ones I’ve tried. I think most of them stopped working because of Roblox’s new Hyperion Anticheat which blocked WINE (unsure if they unblocked it at a later point as they promised, but I’d bet they didn’t).

Side note: The creators of Sober also maintain a project called Vinegar, which allows for Roblox Studio to be installed under Linux (it used to be for both Player and Studio, until the anticheat for the Player was introduced)

There was a period where I was testing my laptop’s hibernation so I got uptime to around 30 days.

But now, The highest uptime I can reach is around 2-3 days if I forget to turn it off and leave it either plugged in or on a high battery so it lasts until the next day.

I can see where you’re coming from because of outdated libraries and flatpak sandboxing not really being a thing (it’s an illusion, really) but you can’t deny that this is the direction we’re moving in, and we need to get flatpak sandboxing and permissions right, to ensure a proper base level of security.

For those unaware:

• Many flatpaks use older, outdated, or end-of-life libraries

• Flatpak permissions are messed up because most applications ask to bypass the sandbox at install-time
