Hmm~ I would say that the bottom right one caught my eye, but I would go with the top left one as the default wallpaper. It looks sophisticated and clean. It depends on the first impression you want to give.

Sheesh~ This kind of makes me dream of seeing a future Steam Deck (Or other Valve console) powerful enough to handle most VR games if they're going to keep on giving the Linux ecosystem a push for whatever features are important to them.

Wait, does that mean we can start looking at HDR displays for regular Linux desktops in a near future?

I don't remember anyone mentioning Snap being closed source, but it receives many complaints for interfering with the functioning of common programs, on top of slowing down the execution of programs installed through it and is now being forced on users. I haven't touched any *buntu distro in years, but it always seemed half-baked from the comments I keep on reading about it.

Also yes, Flatpak is what I believe you could call a universal package manager. Package it once and it should run on any Linux distro since it takes most things out of the equation, save for the kernel and drivers. And yes, it mostly is used to distribute desktop applications. It's ideal for safely running random applications or older programs that wouldn't run through a modern runtime.

It's not some miracle packaging system and while Flatpak-installed programs tend to start just as fast as native ones, I consider it inferior for most cases. Its two big advantages are that Flatpaks have a runtime they specify and depend on. It gets downloaded and installed automatically if missing when you install a Flatpak. So you're much less likely to run into issues where a program won't run on your system because of an incompatibility with a missing, or newer version of some library. Each Flatpak also gets installed in its own fake environment and is essentially a sandbox when you run the program. You can use a program named Flatseal to give each Flatpak access to specific directories or functionalities, or restrict it further. But the one big negative is that this runtime uses a lot of disk space. ~800MB per runtime.

It tends to work really well and I've been told that years ago a guy would use this packaging system to bundle pirated windows games with a preconfigured version of wine, which made them run out of the box, with zero tinkering. On top of essentially being sandboxed and unable to access your real home folder, internet, camera or microphone. Just to illustrate its versatility. It also kind of already won the war when Steam Decks started using Flatpak as their main packaging system.

Nope, no thank you... I'm not touching anything other than native, AUR or Flatpak packages. AppImage has only been an inelegant and overall inferior alternative in my experience. The Windows experience, with Linux portability issues. "Find an installer online from some website, have it do whatever the hell it wants, polluting my home folder with random crap and hope it's not a virus" with essentially zero advantages over Flatpak or even Snap.

Thanks a lot! Yeah, it's on Android and everything I could hope for. The sleek UI, the drag-based shortcuts and properly separated user accounts.

Is anything similar Apollo? I'm on Android, but if there was one app that made me miss the few months I spent with a borrowed iPhone... It's Apollo.

Yeah… For years I already suggested anything good but Ubuntu to those interested in trying Linux, but now I'm going to directly tell them not to touch it. Sure, you've got lots of online discussions from the past 20-ish years of people teaching each other how to install PPAs for up-to-date versions of programs or drivers and that's sweet. But how about a distro where that stuff is just available out of the box and one that doesn't force you to use snaps as if they didn't cause issues left and right?

It was almost scarily smooth for me. I laid down on the operating table, they started prepping me up and I was out before I realized it. When I woke up minutes after the end of my short surgery I had clear memories of the moments before. There was no period of time where I felt confused or realized I was passing out or waking up. I went from being conscious, to unconscious, to wide awake pretty darn fast. The only numbness I had came from the painkillers. Or at least it's how it felt to me. Modern anesthetics are amazing.

I did that for a while and it does kinda work if you bring your mic threshold way down, but there is a modded client called "discord-screen-audio" which tricks Discord into almost working properly. The one limitation being that you can only stream your main monitor and not another one, or a specific app. But the audio does work!

Écoute, voyons-donc. Le gars s'est fait accuser de produire une forme de pornographie juvénile. Imagine le scrutin avec lequel il va devoir vivre à partir de maintenant. Je comprends bien qu'il dépose sa plume. D'un côté, je peux comprendre l'impulsion. Vouloir interdire la distribution d'écrits encourageant ou banalisant la violence sexuelle, sincèrement. Surtout envers des enfants. Mais tant qu'il ne s'agisse pas de propos inflammatoires, diffamatoires ou cruellement révélateurs, c'est littéralement juste de la fiction. Et juste du texte en plus! Pas même des dessins.

Personne ne saigne quand on écrit le mot couteau. C'est parfaitement dans les droits de quelqu'un de dire qu'un livre est dégoûtant, révoltant et détestable. De le brûler! Mais si on devait emprisonner quiconque possède un livre avec dû contenu sexuel impliquant des jeunes personnages? Tabarnouche... Au secondaire, en français et en anglais on m'a fait lire des romans où des adolescents se masturbent, ont des relations sexuelles, parfois même avec des adultes bien plus âgés qu'eux, parfois en inconfortablement grand détail. Mais personne n'a été abusé pour créer ces récits là. Aussi "fucking bizarres" que j'aie pu les trouver à l'époque et encore toujours. Ces livres qu'on m'a fait lire avaient quelque-chose à dire. Un message. Godbout écrivait des romans d'horreur et a écrit une scène "horrible". Que ça ait été horrible de lui en tant qu'auteur ou de son personnage fictif, je ne crois pas que ça devrait être considéré un crime. Sortez son livre de la bibliothèque scolaire ou municipale si vous le voulez. Que les librairies refusent de le vendre! Mais ce n'est jamais bon signe quand le monde commence à brûler des livres.

Je n'ai pas non plus lu le livre en question et si étonnant que ça puisse paraître, personne n'a publié en ligne une copie de la dite scène. Je ne peux donc pas vraiment donner mon propre jugement mais son éditeur, son imprimerie et un jury semblent d'accord sur le fait qu'il n'est pas un criminel et ne mérite pas ce qui lui est arrivé. C'est vraiment ridicule. J'espère que sa poursuite pour dommages va réussir.
