This will be interesting as well. Your Linux desktop will be able to remember window positions and sizes across restarts. So if you are meticulous about an organized layout where the terminal is on the left and the browser is on the right, it will be the same even after your system restarts. Note that session survives temporary app closures, too.

It’s about freaking time.

EDIT: I just realized that KWin has already had this for a year. Then again, maybe this means it’ll actually get used now?

I never understood why people love Lutris so much. I’ve always found it extremely overrated, even before they started vibecoding it.

IMO, Lutris was already an overrated pile of junk before genAI became popular. It tracks that they’re vibecoding it now.

Since you haven’t mentioned it, are there any specific games you’re running into issues with? If so, are these Steam/Proton games, Wine games, native titles, or emulated games?

Even if their software stack isn’t totally FOSS, I’m still happy to see a potential challenger to Google and Apple in the smartphone space. Duopolies suck.

What’s the going price for a MiSTer these days?

EDIT: Just checked the official website. An Official MiSTer Kit costs 159.90 EUR, or 254.63 CAD. Ouch.

Don’t comply in advance, that’s what I say. Unfortunately, that’s what systemd is doing, and what archinstall, xdg-desktop-portal, and Freedesktop.org are on the verge of doing.

For the vast majority of people who don’t live in California, including myself, California law can go fly a kite.

A toggle to switch between hiding and showing blocked communities would definitely be a nice option to have. It’d be better than just hiding blocked communities outright.

You raise a very good point. systemd isn’t the only thing we should be bringing attention to. Everything in the Linux ecosystem that’s pushing for age verification/attestation should have attention brought to it.

The problem with btrfs subvolumes is that you have to use btrfs. I’m good with Ext4. It’s nice and reliable.

This is one of the beautiful things about open source. If the original devs do something stupid, the community can fork.

The whole dual control panels thing in recent versions of Windows has always annoyed me.

why does it need to accommodate compatibility for archaic devices/software?

Because that’s one of Windows’ selling points. It has unusually good backwards compatibility for a mainstream operating system. Compare that to iOS, Android, MacOS, or Linux, where the infrastructure needed to run older binaries often doesn’t exist in the first place.

Linux is a weird case, because thanks to Wine, it actually runs a lot of old games better than Windows, but this doesn’t do anything to help compatibility with older Linux binaries.

Dropped.

I’m planning to migrate my main desktop over to this distro. I was fairly happy with EndeavourOS for the last few years, but with systemd’s recent bullshit, I think it’s time I move on.

I’m pissed that systemd has made a change that paves the way for age verification, and is unwilling to go back on it. The change they added may not do much on its own, but I worry about future consequences.

Since it’s rare for large organizations and projects to go back on things like this, I’m considering moving my systems over to non-systemd distros. At the very least, I hope a fork without the userdb birthDate variable hits the AUR.

It had its place in 2015. It was my introduction to Arch-based distros. Nowadays, I use EndeavourOS.

Interesting idea. Sounds like you’d have to make a lot of symlinks for that though.

I never thought to try that. Sounds like you’d have to make a lot of symlinks.
