Maybe these are only the newly blocked websites?

Gotta thank the Kremlin for making a list of good European news websites. On second thought, weird that they block cnews.fr. The Dutch and German lists make sense though
It’s a new desktop by the Pop!_OS team, System76. They previously used Gnome extensions but to make a snoother, more performant experience, they have been working on an entirely new desktop environment + toolkit, all in Rust. They call it Cosmic.
The new Cosmic Store is super fast and smooth, perhaps the fastest package manager GUI on Linux desktop.
Check out this speed comparison against GNOME Software: (Cosmic starts around 1:10) https://files.catbox.moe/mzz004.mp4
If you’re on Pop!_OS 22.04 you can already install it with sudo apt install cosmic-store
.
There’s a few other COSMIC apps available but the store is the most usable one right now IMO. The text editor is fun too though. If you’re on another Debian based OS, you can probably add the system76 repo and then install it.
Of course, but I don’t never need to be told nothing like that from nobody when I’m commenting in a pedantic language thread! /s
Nobody is a negation (not anybody). So they do have to explain themselves to somebody
That’s amazing!
I get it, I actually use the exact same distros you mention: Pop!_OS, Endeavour and Fedora.
Had the same experience with Pop!_OS: those few things that did not “just work” but needed tinkering caused quite some issues. And yeah, somewhat more bleeding edge than Ubuntu LTS is nice: to use neovim on the 22.04 base, I’d need to use distrobox or build vim from source, but on Fedora and Arch, it “just works”.
I liked Endeavour, though I haven’t really used it with a DE, I went with Sway. So hard to compare, but the manual sysadmin intervention everyone keeps talking about has been minimal. AUR is amazing, pacman is fast and sane.
I went to Fedora because it is bleeding edge enough, but seems better tested and more stable than Arch. Also wanted to see how BTRFS is setup on there and test the rollbacks. The codec stuff has been terrible though. Even after enabling RPMFusion and installing a bunch of them, the Fedora source Firefox still refuses to do video calls in MS Teams. I’m using Flatpak browsers now but downloading flatpak updates is way slower than even the worst package manager for “native” binaries. Feels a bit odd to have to use a Flatpak for the browser.
If I had to install a new pc today, I’d go EndeavourOS with KDE (which I’m using on Fedora now), BTRFS and systemd-boot. I got to know systemd-boot in Pop!_OS and have tried a different boot manager (rEFInd), but systemd-boot is amazing.
Genuine question: what is it about Fedora that keeps you coming back? I have also used Debian based and Arch based distros, as well as Fedora.
Congrats! I hope I’ll be able to join you soon!
For me it’s a combination of factors that make the barrier for this last use case higher. I almost exclusively play DCS: World in VR using a Reverb G2 WMR headset. I’ve had a friend offer his worn Valve Index, which should work on Linux. But:
It’s a bit of work. In the meantime, at least as long as Windows 10 still gets security updates, I wikl continue to use my Windows dualboot for VR flight simming only
Thanks for pointing that out! I made it into a shitty meme over at !linuxmemes@lemmy.world
Ubuntu does not require the model either. It’s an optional service that Canonical offers. They just market it in a weird way (inside the package manager)
I’ve been trying to explain that choosing to pay for this “extended security service” this is completely unnecessary if you just upgrade your OS every few years.
Oh I’m aware of “the traffic light”, it just feels like it’s been a while since Germany pushed the EU forward instead of holding us back (arming Ukraine, regulation about combustion engines in future cars, etc)
I was joking by taking him literally… I would say this does not come across well in text but IRL this kind of joke also fails to land regularly
I think the average Mint user is not a wealthy enterprise with tons of systems they don’t want to upgrade so they don’t need to consider this, whether it’s available for their distro or not.
IIRC, Canonical is using Ubuntu to push an “extended security maintenance” program or something like that.
These kinds of services are all the same. RedHat does it, Microsoft does it, many others too probably.
The idea is: (stop reading if any of these don’t apply)
5 kcal per day would change your body drastically? Oof.
The German federal government pushing the EU towards sensible energy policy?? Am I dreaming?
This made my day!
