Them.

The taskbar is an outdated (30 years old) concept that should be extinct.

It was created to always allow the user to launch or resume their programs, even when they launch a fullscreen program.

I think it’s time to improve workflows. I don’t expect Microsoft leads the (proper) way. They are too busy including ads into the taskbar.

A question for the lemmy community: Why the negative votes? It is because the link is considered SPAM? It is because the TLDR of the post?

I always though that the votes is for the publication, not the referred content.

On the other hand:

• Loop-device exhaustion (slow, though Ubuntu has increased the limit via a patch).
• A single point of failure due to Canonical’s repository imposition (a closed garden).
• Unmaintained branches and snapped apps.
• Implicit installation of snapped apps through the apt CLI instead of the originally supported packages 🤬 (what the hell, Canonical!? Are you doing the same crap as Microsoft?).

The server-side closed garden is the opposite of an open ecosystem and the open-source community. You can add custom repositories to APT or Flatpak. Every new snap interaction feels like another step toward forcing the user to use it, instead of offering cool features that convince users on their own merits.

The last change (installing snapped apps when you run apt install) was horrendous. What’s next? Installing snapped apps when the user runs flatpak install?

You could try mine, SimpleK8s (kubeadm, containerd, systemd, buildroot), ~50Mb single file (kernel+initramfs). https://simplek8s.org/

The current footprint is lower than every alternatives commented on this article.

The article doesn’t comment the velocity: 16 T/s 🤷 You can see it in one of the article graph.

Good information here about EXO, and ChromeOS:

Is Exo going to continue to exist as a Wayland compositor? I figured it was going to be retired as ChromeOS turned into an Android overlay…

Fangzhou Ge 1 week ago

Yes, becoming Android overlay removes Chrome from the OS so Exo is going to retire. We still have to maintain Exo experience until the all ChromeOS device reach AUE or be updated to Android. Latest device AUE date I see are in 2033.

If folks don’t want Exo be listed we’ll just have Chromium here. Edited 1 week ago by Fangzhou Ge

I’m fine either way, if the Aura Shell is going to be around for a while, then it makes sense to include it.

I don’t even knowed that Chrome OS is/will be replaced by Android as an overlay.

The first improvement (Media Foundation by FFMPEG) could be significant. Currently, VALVe generates large shaders to re-render those Media Foundation videos into other free codecs. These shaders can be several gigabytes in size for some games with lengthy videos. With FFMPEG, those videos could be played without being re-encoded as shaders.

TLDR:

• New Media Foundation backend using FFMpeg.
• Initial support for network sessions in DirectPlay.
• New Desktop Control Panel applet.
• Various bug fixes.

It takes a time to compile the whole project, but a way less than Firefox and Chrome. There is an AUR package for ArchLinux.

IMHO, it is not yet daily-drive usable. Really slow for JS. The window manager is extreme limited (I can not drag tabs outside the window). It can not render steampowered neither youtube (I didn’t test any more websites, just these two). The current setting page is just a window popup with a checkbox for one option. But competition is always good for the users. A web browser is a big project for today standards. Good luck to these developers 💪👍

I tested it the last week from the main git branch, it doesn’t open YouTube homepage, yet.

Hi!

I made my own inmutable distro using buildroot (https://buildroot.org): https://simplek8s.org

This distro is just an AIO kernel image that will bootstrap everything in RAM. You can mount additional devices for data persistence (for example you can mount your storage in /var).

For example, when someone ask for a command to list files, and another one reply with a command that removes everything.

It’s illegal in Europe to have an opt-out checked by default, must be an opt-in unchecked by default. This is one of the reason that Microsoft has always troubles in Europe about privacy and opt-out services.

When you create a filesystem, there is a parameter named as “block percent free”. This parameter should be “5%”, so a 5% of your partition size can only be written by the “root” user.

You can decrease this value or just free some space. You can try to create files or folders as root as well.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

A folder dotfiles as git repository and a dotfiles/install that soft links all configurations into their places.

Two files, ~/.zshrc (without secrets, could be shared) and another for secrets (sourced by .zshrc if exist secrets).
