This is what Gentoo needed. I’ve been using it for a long time and love it as it is but sometimes when there’s a bunch of slot conflicts or a compile error it makes me wish I just dealt with binaries instead. Now that we have the best of both worlds, it will make Gentoo appeal to a wider userbase and make it less painful to use on older hardware.

Any distro that’s based on an existing one but changes or adds very little to it. There are so many dead Ubuntu and Debian reskins

I had a feeling this was the case. Youtube has been painful for the past month now.

Jirard never seemed like the type of guy to pull something like this and I really want to see his response but having the money just sit there (and hopefully still there) for years is a really bad look for him. At the very least he was just clueless but that’s still damaging taking into account all the lies on the charity streams

I use a trackball because they take up less space but there is a learning curve and you really have to spend time dialing in a sensitivity you’re comfortable with.

I love seeing stuff like this! I think anyone who is used to windows should try Linux out on a cheap laptop and see how they like it.

GNOME

Not necessarily UI but the overuse of javascript on most websites. It makes browsing the web on low power and old devices a nightmare.

I have seen this same image circulated for years. We need a new one because transmission in D tier is unacceptable.

Check it out. It’s a really fun game and perfect for the deck.

Yeah it’s great, It’s never been a better time to be a Linux user. There’s always something to look forward to and we get more support every year. I’m going to give cosmic a shot when they release it.

Seeing how he looks now is incredibly sad. I really hope he makes it though this.

Glad to see another runcat user. It’s a must have extension.

• Colloid GTK Theme (Colloid-Dark)
• Papirus (Papirus-Dark)
• Adwaita Cursor Theme

I used the Equilux GTK theme for years but it’s been abandoned since 2018 and GNOME has changed a lot since then. I switched to Colloid and it didn’t take much to tweak it to my liking, mainly reducing the size of the titlebar and panel.

I wish. Even xfce will get wayland support before they do.

It sucks that cool projects like hyprland are usually riddled with toxic weirdos that ruin it. It also sucks that there’s not much to choose in the wayland space that’s usable and actively developed but I refuse to use hyprland after seeing this.

There’s no better platform on the fediverse because of how many people are here.

I have been pretty comfortable here because I’m into nerdy things and most of us here are nerds. In fact, the only people that cared about reddit locking down the API were nerds or people jumping on the bandwagon because it was the next big thing. Others didn’t care and just wanted reddit back and a lot of people that were here in the beginning went back to reddit. We will probably grow overtime but there’s no point in wondering why lemmy isn’t more popular, just participate in the communities you like.

I’m tired of GNOME messing with it’s API but hopefully this is the last time since they’re switching to a standard system. Besides that, it’s my favorite DE on Linux. I have to give plasma 6 a shot when it comes out but right now GNOME feels just right compared to other desktops.

I can’t stand Bluetooth headphones, the delay is unbearable. It’s gotta be wired or 2.4ghz for me.
