Well we wouldn’t want Proton, it would be 2000x less lightweight than electron! /s
It seems to me that Tauri is maybe a better direction to invest resources in than a direct electron-but-Firefox. Its lighter weight and better sandboxed, and can presumably be configured to run with a Gecko engine instead of a chromium-based webview. I have no idea its status, but geckoview does seem to exist.
Does anyone know why the only public transport option is “subway”? I don’t get why they would only index subways.
Yeah…Eternity 0.2.1 doesn’t work, Voyager can’t even find beehaw.org in to log into it, and so I’ve been using Jerboa as a backup. Turns out downgrading to 0.1.2 does work, but meh.
What issues were you having with mint 22? I haven’t had any specific ones yet, except for the qt5 themes app no longer being installed by default and not quite working right.
I think they mean powerful as in compute power, and since they’re designed to be thin clients, the answer is no. They’re universally underpowered the day they come out.
MATLAB works fine on linux for me these days. Some weird small text on hiDPI screens, but its fixable. I’ve only tested on Debian based distros though.
Darktable if you’re ok with a steep learning curve, RawTherapee if you prefer an easier-to-use UI with a few less features.
For those not following the blog, here are the instructions!
It’s…not. The original press release is typically hype-y, but the part that toms hardware article really mangled is that they didnt find a way to do it, they found a new design for a device to do it.
I use zettlr – it’s pretty good! The only issues I’ve run into are with the table editor, and with occasional lag on large documents; the latter just comes with the territory on an Electron app. I know Nathan’s working on both, though.
I’m not familiar with fwupdmgr, so I’m not sure either about it delivering bios updates. A good tool to know about for sure, though!
I don’t mean use the RSS feed to actually deliver, I just mean a blog-style announcement. Of course, to be security conscious you shouldn’t follow any links in that announcement to download it, but still.
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten bios updates via apt…not sure if that’s a laptop thing, a manufacturing thing, or what.
The latest blog post says it should be just a few days, which is nice!
I wasn’t trying to call you out! I was more responding to Jcreazy, but I wanted to emphasize what NaN said.
As far as I know, the xapps are largely updated in line with when Mint gets updates – Mint doesnt get super frequent updates on those either, they often get bundled with a new Cinnamon release.
Yeah. Everyone should be clear that both Mint and LMDE follow about the same release spacing as their upstream, but offset by a couple of months. Mint’s upstream is Ubuntu LTS, LMDE’s is Debian. Both release about every two years. Mint and LMDE cannot possibly do major version updates faster than their upstream!
The point of these distros is stability and polish. If you want the absolute newest updates, mint/LMDE is not the right distro for you, and getting the newest updates inherently sacrifices some stability.
Yeah! I only discovered them a couple of weeks ago through this community and they’re fantastic.
Specifically to make something which is not mission-critical reliant on any underlying software…but that’s almost impossible. Not reliant on the base operating system would be a nice start.
While it is true that the ad business model is changing as you describe, Google’s strategy with respect to it is also absolutely about monopolizing the ad market.
I’ve used Xournal++ and Write, both worked pretty well. Saber also looks promising.
It’s going to come down to how the program handles smoothing of the pen input, which is going to differ based on how noisy your tablets data is, and on your handwriting.
