What happened to elementary OS?
  • I don't really think that's fair. I agree with your suggestion that it should be a multiplatform DE rather than just its own distro but I think having polished and design opinionated distros is important. I know a few Mac guys who have become interested in Linux when they heard about ElementaryOS.

    I get that a lot of people hate on GNOME too for being annoying to customise and being highly opinionated but I think that's the key to getting the average person interested in Linux. The average person just wants their desktop to look nice out of the box and maybe offer a dark mode. Anything more than that gets too complicated.

    Edit: and yeah having access to programs like the MS apps is important but it's not like that has to come before having an appealing desktop

  • Why is RetroArch such absolute garbage?
  • RetroArch is great though. I set it up for my mum on an rpi with a bunch of preinstalled roms and there's been no issues. The controller worked out of the box and everything runs smoothly.

  • type the distro you use and is and let your keyboard finish it
  • Manjaro Je suis en train de faire le tour de la maison et je suis en train de faire le tour de la maison et je suis en train de faire le tour de la maison

    Edit: I dont know why it switched to French

  • Meta Has Run Hundreds of Ads for Cocaine, Opioids and Other Drugs
  • There are actual physical mushroom stores in my city even though it's not legal in Canada. There's one a few minutes away from me called The Mush Room. I love to see it, it reminds me of when weed was about to get legalized and stores were popping up before it was official.

  • Zed (vscode alternative) on Linux is out!
  • It's really fast, has nice vim keybindings and has the potential to be a great open source VSCode alternative.

    I don't use it yet since it doesn't have a built in Python debugger but I've been watching it closely. I really want to switch to it someday soon
