You can’t just throw money and devs at it and expect the problem to be solved.
Then nobody will throw money at any project at all, because everything eventually will be solved by “magick”.
Destinating more resources to that quickens and makes better that process, though, incentivating people to work on it and test it.
Phoronix’s comment section is as toxic as it can be, but i found out a comment that puts into words better similar thoughts I have on this:
How about the Linux Foundation forks over a few million to fund the thing in its name?
They could hire more engineers, more testing, more QA. Yet they don’t.
And while at it, maybe Mozilla or any other stakeholder with resources could revamp Rust to produce lightweight binaries, have a stable compiler and for it to be way quicker in compilation?
No? Okay, but then why do all these foundations/organizations exist? And why do they hold such vast amounts of resources, while extorting the projects they claim to help?
I’d only add that it’s not only about the kernel - they are home to a project that could be in the medium-long term a serious alternative to Google’s blink/Apple’s webkit, and of course an alternative to the hegemony of Chrome, but they actively chose to just not give them a single cent. Yes I am talking about Servo.
What’s ridiculous is that people expect one software to behave the same as other software when the FOSS software does not imply in any way that it is a clone of a proprietary software
Well, that was exactly my point.
I edited several videos for work precisely 2-5 years ago and it was really good. That surprised me in the good sense because last time I tried it before that was like in 2010 and was rather funky, but so was my crappy laptop. And there’s been a while since that and since KDE brought it to attention and the fundraising and you name it and it seems it has improven even more. Maybe with time it can be another famous representative from KDE targeted towards content creation as now it is Krita.
That being said, I just can’t take any “review” from a “normie” about FOSS stuff seriously because most of the time they come from a propietary software mindset.
Take for example reviews about Inkscape or GIMP and you’ll find most of them mentioning “they’re not as usable as Photoshop/Illustrator”. So people expect any alternative to work exactly as their non-foss counterpart, which is absolutely ridiculous.
Well I wasn’t thinking about memory (and maybe that’s the reason some people downvoted that comment…) but because in my experience NetworkManager takes time starting at boot and with months/years it was taking more and more time. I reset it once and kept doing the same thing.
As you said you’re planning on a home server kind of thing I’d think setting up a static ip is a good idea and NetworkManager is just an overkill for that - you could very well go along with Gentoo’s netifrc.
If you can live without Networkmanager, I’d disable it and move your network setup to a static ip. Networkmanager can hog resources.
Can confirm, just got phishing mail “from Codeberg” containing the n word in its subject (?)

If they did Hannah Montana Linux and Biebian and they were not much else than Debian with some wallpapers and themes I can create Billie EiLishnux or some shit like that and prove than I’m more capable than your average ai and you can’t stop me.
Wait until you learn what “GNU” stands for.
Oh no, don’t thank me - thank Lawnchair devs! Their launcher is actually great (well at least for me it is, hope that it is for you too).
I’m seeing a “Gestures” section in Lawnchair which has the following:
Each one of them has the following options:
Not sure if this are the exact names they show up in english, though
I like Fossify’s, but I won’t recommend it - it has no predictive text and no symbols on its main keyboard, the first which is a huge deal for almost everyone. Not sure if they’re working on those or if it will never get those features, because if it had those two it would be the perfect keyboard because it’s so great in every other sense.
sudo init 0 because yolo
Not sure if my memory is failing already but I no longer see those “Update portage before anything else” messages.
When something tries to overwrite stuff in /etc and you have to etc-update your shit… that’s when things get real
As a long time KDE user I have to agree with you.
I hated the turn things took from Gnome3 onwards but I really like the “workspaces per demand” feature of it. It makes much more sense than having a static number of virtual desktops.
Though I concede KDE did not do much about virtual desktops but concentrated on activities instead - but it seems like with Plasma 6 they are backpedalling on that as it would require integration from everyone, most of all non KDE apps to make it make sense.
Do not even get me started on not being able to set a different wallpaper for each virtual desktop.
I recall there was a kwin script somewhere to emulate the dynamic virtual desktops thing, but that would be much better if it was an upstream feature.
I’d like to know which one is creating /.Trash-1000. Yes, at the root folder. No, I don’t have any other OS installed in this system but linux
I’m old (not much, though) but back in my day it happened the same thing with people like me. Only that instead Arch+Hyprland it was Compiz Fusion+Beryl because the cube and the flames was the tits.
Also I just happen to be a graphic designer so hopefully this post of yours helps into letting die that idea that Linux is only for devs and sysadmins.
