I don’t really think that’s fair. I agree with your suggestion that it should be a multiplatform DE rather than just its own distro but I think having polished and design opinionated distros is important. I know a few Mac guys who have become interested in Linux when they heard about ElementaryOS.

I get that a lot of people hate on GNOME too for being annoying to customise and being highly opinionated but I think that’s the key to getting the average person interested in Linux. The average person just wants their desktop to look nice out of the box and maybe offer a dark mode. Anything more than that gets too complicated.

Edit: and yeah having access to programs like the MS apps is important but it’s not like that has to come before having an appealing desktop

Can you use the touchbar at all or do you basically just not have any FN keys?

Manjaro Je suis en train de faire le tour de la maison et je suis en train de faire le tour de la maison et je suis en train de faire le tour de la maison

Edit: I dont know why it switched to French

There are actual physical mushroom stores in my city even though it’s not legal in Canada. There’s one a few minutes away from me called The Mush Room. I love to see it, it reminds me of when weed was about to get legalized and stores were popping up before it was official.

I read that in a French accent

It’s really fast, has nice vim keybindings and has the potential to be a great open source VSCode alternative.

I don’t use it yet since it doesn’t have a built in Python debugger but I’ve been watching it closely. I really want to switch to it someday soon

I thought it was dumb too but, to be honest, I kind of prefer using “main” now. It’s quicker to type lol

I remember having to reverse engineer an API owned by my own company because our team was too far removed from theirs. The whole situation was crazy

Ah damn, was worth a try I guess. Does seem like it’s a hardware issue then and needs a repair

Have you tried a BIOS update? I had an issue with my screen and thought I needed repair but it turns out some hardware issues are linked to the BIOS. These are the instructions steam support gave me, just on the off chance they help you:

To update to that BIOS you will need to opt into the ‘Main’ OS update channel:\

• Turn on Developer settings (steam button > settings > system > ‘Enable Developer Mode’)
• Turn on ‘Show Advanced update Channels’ in developer settings (steam button > settings > developer settings)
• Set Deck to ‘Main’ in OS Update Channel (steam button > settings > system)
• Select Apply under ‘Software Updates’ above and then select the ‘Restart’ once it is done.
• Once the Deck restarts and has loaded to the OS, unplug the external monitor to test if the Deck’s internal screen is now displaying correctly.

Are there any plans for enabling a global menu like Unity had or if writing an extension for one is possible? I miss it every day 😅.

It’s looking great though! I’m very hyped to try it

Try setting scaling back to 1x but then set font scaling to 1.25 using Gnome Tweaks. I’m running two 4k monitors this way and it’s as good as true scaling with no blur

I remember back like ten years ago, you had to run Steam inside wine if you wanted to even begin the process of getting a game to run on Linux.

It’s incredible how far we’ve come since then. Most of the time I don’t even bother checking compatibility before installing something. Most of the time it just works as if I was running Windows.

Usually because the GNOME API has changed significantly in some way. As much as I love GNOME, they change things often enough to frequently end the life of extensions.

I’m still sad about Fildem (global menu) being killed. Although I’m not 100% sure it wasn’t just abandoned as a project tbf

You can really see the difference between opening VSCode and Zed, even more so if you compare it to something like JB’s Fleet editor.

To be fair, it’s not the easiest to compare right now since Zed is lacking a million features of Code, but if all the work they’ve done keeps it as fast as it is with features like user extensions it will be well worth it.

I usually have ~10 different VS Code windows open at a time (yay microservices ❤️), so having something as fast as Zed would be really appreciated.

Fish’s autocomplete is enough for me. I do like having Copilot in my editor but I can’t really think of a reason I’d need it in my terminal. Most of my time in the terminal is just installing things, git or moving things around and I have all those commands down as muscle memory.

That makes it even worse then 😅. The whole thing seems kind of silly

Does it actually make sense to call it free nginx? It seems like that’d just cause confusion, especially if the projects diverge. Most of the time when this happens they choose a new name (like MariaDB vs MySQL)

That being said, I wish the project all the best. I use nginx both professionally and personally so I’ll be keeping an eye on this.

Yeah, fair I could have worded that better. Finding better ways of funding is the goal
