I FINALLY listened to you and tried Linux... Why did I wait so long? | JayzTwoCents

KDE devs have been quietly working on Plasma Keyboard, a new on-screen keyboard for desktop and mobile part of the “We Care About Your Input” KDE Goals initiative. Although not ready for texting yet,

Linux Kernel Chaos Caused By A Broken Script

  • Helix is bae, the best of both worlds, of both Emacs and Vim.

  • Lemm.ee: Furry @lemm.ee

    With Lemm.ee shutting down, Pawb.Social welcomes any and all furries who wish to join.

  • Well, their username does check out.

  • Umm... How old is this meme? You haven't (really) able to play PC/Steam games on Mac for a while... Also, XFCE hasn't been a serious contender for a DE (save for a lower end hardware spec) for quite a while now.

    This meme might have made more sense if it was comparing to Windows. Comparing it to a Mac now is comical, especially since a lot of Adobe software doesn't work quite right yet on M* series Mac's yet (though it is better than at launch).

  • It could be a misidentified version of Ubuntu as we, though I must admit I am now also curious about that... Maybe it's RasPi folks using Steam on it for something?

    Linux reaches new peak of 2.69% in Steam Hardware & Software Survey: May 2025

  • Only been using it exclusively for 5+ years now... Something like 12-14 if you consider when I first started experimenting with it.

    Dave2D - Windows Was The Problem All Along (Lenovo Legion Go Windows 11 vs. SteamOS)

  • Huh? That ain't what I meant at all... I'm sticking with Pixel for my next upgrade, there's not much that could make me change my mind. If for some reason Pixel died next year, I'd probably switch to OnePlus (if I can find a good ROM for it that's as good as CalyxOS), but I can't say I'd be happy about it.

  • Uhh, yeah no... A phone with a processor that's equivalent to something from like 4 generations ago isn't gonna cut it. Even then, that processor would be less powerful than the Tensor G1 in my Pixel 6 Pro. If you're concerned about data sharing, just get a Pixel and put CalyxOS or GrapheneOS on it. More secure anyways, and you still get much better hardware along with it.

  • Yeah... My Pixel 6 Pro is the best phone I've ever had, and I don't even intended to upgrade until the Pixel 11 at least. So, you're just wrong.

  • Yup! I got the 42 release with BazziteOS (Based on Universal-Blue) not that long back.

    Proton VPN boss compares Switzerland to Russia and claims it could leave the country over proposed law

  • It's like that on Reddit too. Sometimes I wonder if its outside agitators (like you see on places like r/Brave, r/CalyxOS, etc), or if its just idiotic people who don't know better...

    Steam Deck / Gaming news #15

  • Honestly, people are mostly* blaming the victim here. I used to adore playing Geoguessr years ago, but that came to an end when a subscription was needed to play it. That came about because Google started charging exorbitant prices for the Google Maps and Streetview API.

    *Yeah, the other issues like lacking features and not using the subscription from the website are dumb, and shouldn't have been a thing for the Steam release. But the core issue of the subscription? The fault for that lies squarely with Google...

    Versatility wins

  • Yeah, Neo Launcher is really good. Even though its still in its beta right now, the full release is coming soon. I consider it an upgrade over Lawnchair, and honestly probably the best open alternative to Nova (rip) overall.

  • +1 from me as well. I almost never have issues with Bitwarden. And when I do its usually in apps that don't allow autofill in a normalish way. So I'm not sure thays really Google's or Bitwarden's fault, but the app developers...

  • Yeah, if you don't mind it possibly taking a week to download something... Really like the idea, but in practice it's very slow for something like that, unless you got a lot of seeders for something maybe.

  • Yeah I permanently switched to Linux in 2019 and even since then things have come a loooong way, let alone from the early 2010's when I began experimenting with Linux. It's sorta would to look back and see just how far things have come in 5 years.

  • Actually, I think there is some value there. It makes it so the fans have to step up and say "we want this game to be preserved and open sourced." Which sorta serves as a bellwether for whether others would be willing to step up and keep it going once it is. If the fans hadn't stepped up like that, it would have been a bit telling that there may not have been much support for it once it was OSS.

  • This is why we need 3, 4, or even 5 monitors at a time.

  • Yeah, but I've found that experience to be... Less than desirable. So I just manually cross-posted it here.
