Not because it’s the best or even my favourite. Just because I create so many ephemeral VMs and containers that code switching isn’t worth it for me.

FWIW, it’s the Mozilla Foundation that owns the Mozilla Corporation. It’s a minor nit, but also an important distinction, as the non-profit has more control (the opposite of many “<company> foundation” structures).

It would, but I already have several dev boards I use in that configuration. What I’m looking for now is something I can take with me to use as a semi-daily driver so I can start reporting bugs in real world use cases.

I’m considering it as a second laptop option, but I have a particular niche use case: I’m a developer who writes developer tools and is currently trying to ensure we have first-class RISC-V support.

This is probably what I’ll go for if I buy in the next month though: https://liliputing.com/dc-roma-laptop-ii-packs-an-octa-core-risc-v-processor-16gb-of-ram-and-ubuntu-linux/

Steam for Linux only has x86 builds right now and wine only translates system calls, so by default they won’t work.

There are ways to get them to work though, but they mostly involve emulating x86. Given the performance of the current state of the art in RISC-V, that won’t exactly go well right now.

That said, that’s not what this machine is for at all. As a software developer working on developer tools for Linux, this is particularly interesting to me as a way to improve the Linux RISC-V ecosystem while dogfooding my own stuff.

Probably the black sea, dad.

Because they’re doing it by mistake. They’re intending to register to vote as independent (no party aligned) voters, seeing “Independent” under party, and choosing that.

Yeah that’s solidly it. I use strictly confined CLI snaps all the time. (In fact, I maintain the snaps for a couple of CLI apps.) They work fine as long as the snap has the right plugs.

But I don’t want to have to run flatpak run dev.htop.htop to get to htop.

Good faith

Lol good one!

I use Firefox as my daily browser, but I tried the manifest v3 based uBlock experiment in Chrome and honestly I couldn’t tell the difference between it and the regular uBlock.

I welcome people switching over, but I don’t think this is anywhere near the killing blow to adblocking people think it is.

I’ve installed Gentoo from a stage1 install. I’ve kept the same KDE Neon install running for over a decade, including moving the 3 SSDs that made up the install to another desktop.

But I’ve never managed to successfully bootstrap an arch system.

Yeah the XFCE dunking of KDE doesn’t even make sense these days - a fresh XFCE system has similar memory use to a fresh Plasma desktop with similar features.

(To be clear: the only one of those dunks I actually feel was deserved was the dunk on gnome.)

I’ve got a desktop that got a dirty install of KDE Neon when the repositories first got put up (before there were isos). Been in-place upgrading it ever since.

Kubuntu works well on mine. A friend has Lubuntu on his.

With 20+ years of using various Unix OS’s as my primary OS, I can say for sure that my answer to “vi or emacs?” is “neither.”

I keep flip-flopping between Kate and pycharm community. I prefer Kate’s LSP access, but pycharm’s management of multiple projects is great.

I wish I could easily set up Kate so it would open random text documents in a separate session from my session that’s running a certain project. And I wish it were aware of whether a session is running on the same activity. (In fact what I’d really like is per-activity Kate sessions).

Trouble is, I’m not good enough at C++ to make a merge request for those features.

Here’s a real-world use case that also won’t require insane GPU power.
