Both KDE and Gnome are stable. Anaconda works the same way for both of them, because that stuff doesn’t have anything to do with the DE.

It really depends on your preferences. KDE is easily customizaple and has a lot of features and UX improvements. But it can clutter quite easily: these options can be overwhelming.

GNOME follows a very strict workflou design that’s more similar to how phones work and helps an ADHD brain, like me to focus more. You can customize it, but you’ll do so at your own risk.

Best to try out both in a live system and do some things that emulate your day-to-day workflow. Then you can decide. And you can always change afterwards! If you have a separate home-partition, reinstalling a new DE/Distro is super trivial.

Unironically: That’s really cool of you. :)

Welcome to (late stage) capitalism.

The market of publishing houses is waaaaay too monopolized for that to take an effect. It’s like boycotting Amazon.

Name one instance where that worked when it wasn’t connected to a massive public outcry. Do you remember the Call of Duty “boycott”? Ubisoft is still in business, too.

Also, the majority of book buyers don’t know or care about this verdict.

Also also: The publishers won’t even be able to correlate the “lost” revenue of individual people boycotting with their shitty behavior. It’s not “Oh, we sold 1000 less copies of this book than expected, because we fought the archive.” It’s more: “Our predictions were off by 1000 copies. No idea if that’s because of some tangible factor, or just ‘noise’.”

I really appreciate the sentiment, but sadly: Individual boycots that aren’t attached to a concertated campaign sadly don’t work. Pirate away, but you can be certain that these publishers don’t know that you exist.

It says that it s “inspired” by monospaced fonts. I imagine they mean stuff like the tiny serif on the lowercase i

It doesn’t really address the core of the issue. Also: you said something wrong and ri corrected you, while acknowledging that the text was gender neutral now. What’s the big deal?

But not the PR.

You claimed the PR was merged.

No, it wasn’t. You might say that the issue was sidestepped, because it says “it”, rather than “they”, now.

I guess it was an overreaction by mastodon, though. Even if I understand the initial criticism.

Not really an example for transphobia, but rejecting gender-neutral language in documentation is a red flag.

Luddites were based, actually.

rnote is really slick. Haven’t used it thoroughly, though. The default recommendation is xournal++,which is a bit more old-school, but still very good.

It wsn’t bought, exactly. The publisher pulled a fast one on the devs a|ter DE’s success. There’s a good report on this by people make games on youtube.

A fucking tragedy if it goes down.

TIL that unix socks are actually a parasitic lifeform, transmitted via arch isos.

Waiting for some MFer to use that shit to cheat it SM64 speedruns… or maybe a TASbot module. 🤔

I recently switched to nixos, because my ACME image was failing all of a sudden and I didn’t know enough what was going on under the hood to fix it.

It was a steep learning curve, but the infrastructure as code approach just works too well for me, since I just forget too much what I did three years ago, when doing things imperatively.

They’re the bee’s knees if you have a homelab, though.
