Agreed, flatpaks are great for desktop apps. I use Nix for the majority of my packages, but I use flatpak for proprietary for the sandboxing.
What does uBlue switching away from it have to do with someone wanting to install it on Silverblue?
Nix is useful for CLI packages, which aren’t very simple to use through flatpak. It also has far more packages, and is very useful for creating development environments.
I see, I only use distrobox for building software that doesn’t easily run on NixOS, so that likely shouldn’t matter too much for me.
I have never heard of toolbx before, can anyone share how it compares to Distrobox? I’ve been using that for some time.
The joysticks don’t look like they’re in a comfortable spot for me sadly. They seem to be around where the touchpads on the Steam Deck are and personally that isn’t a comfortable spot to keep my thumbs for the majority of a play session. These devices should really just copy the Steam Deck layout, it’s already a copy of the Wii U.
They may not be what you want, but this article listed multiple distinguishing features. 1080p, 120hz, hall effect joysticks and triggers, adjustable triggers, and a camera.
I’d still choose a Steam Deck personally, but there are definitely enticing features here that I wish the Steam Deck offered.
Bottles should make it really simple. You might run into the occasional problem with the installers, but they usually have workarounds.
Looks like it allows that using ollama
Edit: according a couple issues, the flag that allows this is being ignored…
It also says they’re going to be using Framework laptops which is equally cool!
Fortunately that will be quite soon
Definitely. You don’t need to have a task bar or start menu in KDE, it’s just the default. I usually have on panel on the left or right with my workspaces and system tray. I use the overview to manage windows instead of a taskbar, like gnome. I put krunner, the built in app runner on super
You can make KDE look entirely unlike Windows, its just up to preference.
The difference is this can be customized exactly as they want. It may be similar, but the little differences are stuff that you can’t change in Windows.
I really like ProtonVPN with the unlimited plan. Comes with their premium email, drive, and password manager for $8-12 a month (depending on what plan length you buy)
maybe I do suck at it. could you explain it to me?
Not a remotely relevant comparison, and even if it was, completely ignores my second point.
If they’re going to find it on lemmy they’re going to find it anywhere. Also, they already know about ublock origin, and its unlikely they’d even care about unhooked, since it doesn’t block ads.
Tauri is the electron alternative we already have. This does look like a good framework, just not the same as electron.
