The Linux Mint team produces excellent software for making the end user experience gorgeous.
My favorite bit of software of theirs is webapp-manager. I have it installed on my Pinephone, and it allows me to make “apps” from websites.
I love that they embrace Debian as an alternative base. Debian is one of my favorite operating systems
Linux Mint = Good
Many lessons were learned from the Hurd that has impacted ALL microkernel kernel and userspace designs, but it is ancient by today’s standards.
Its more accurate to say they were “rewriting” MINIX, but I don’t like the word “rewriting” as all of these systems are unique in their own way.
Kinda. Redox uses a microkernel architecture and tries to keep only the most important functionality in ring 0 while they push everything else in userspace. It’s great.
Don’t forget Retroarch too!
Most excellent. I’m glad to see things are working out, and that you’ve found something that works well. I hope your experience is as beautiful as mine was - mine pushed me to pursue computer science and programming.
I recommend at this point learning Flatpak and exploring Flathub for your favorite apps. Flatpak is treated as a first-class citizen on Fedora, so its my go-to recommendation. Should be super easy. Here are the instructions: https://flathub.org/setup/Fedora
Have fun!
This is the one. One of my favorite and necessary extensions for me
This was in development but its about a year stale: https://gitlab.com/cubocore/paper/paperde
I love you Wine, you’re my favorite
Gotta celebrate the little victories
I read so much bad news every day now, and then something nice like this pops up and I think "well gee maybe things aren't so awful"
Fluent Reader is wonderful for my Linux tablet. It was the only one I could truly get working the way I wanted. There are also multiple methods to render the feeds, which can be needed depending on the source
Yes, because it is permissively open source, not only are these companies free to build what they want - we are entitled to that same right. We therefore created LineageOS and GrapheneOS, and its really great.
There's also a lot of motivated people getting regular Linux distributions running on mobile devices too, so we have that as well
I like VSCode because I can run it in a development container and because its the only FOSS IDE with an extension for IEC 61131-3 ST that I am aware of
Me and my childhood best friend used to play this all the time when we had the Apogee Game Collection. So many great memories.
This makes me beyond happy
Yes! The automatic updates are great for me and my family's machines. System and Flatpak upgrades are done automatically, I never ever think of them.
Universal Blue has it too. They also have the "just" wrapper for not just system and flatpak, but containers as well.
Yeah, Arch Linux is beautiful as a container OS. I use it all the time.
I’m using Eternity too and its fsntastic
I was going to reply to the parent comment but read yours, and you’re totally right. Tinkering to make a custom Universal Blue image is very much encouraged by the devs, and we want people to share their favorite images. That’s how Bazzite and Bluefin started out, after all
The images with the nvidia drivers baked in are one of the greatest selling points for Universal Blue. Its the easiest and simplest way to run Linux with nvidia, hands down.
I’m very happy!
