joojmachine,

Ah shoot, I wasn’t aware posts about them were a no-go, specially since this is a useful tool for people that already have hardware from them, it isn’t any sort of news about “hey buy our new product” or something like it.

joojmachine,

joojmachine,

There’s plenty of laptops with 2 separate graphics cards (mine included) and I’d say it’s the ideal experience if you need an NVIDIA card. Everything related to your system is done in the integrated Intel/AMD GPU (which works perfectly) and games and GPU intensive work (like CUDA) gets done in the NVIDIA one.

joojmachine,

And there are distros where it works out of the box with no extra steps needed: Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and openSUSE IIRC

joojmachine,

It does, I used to set it up during the time I used Arch, it takes a bit of reading to understand how it works, but works flawlessly once you set it up.

joojmachine,

Yeah, Papers doesn’t have a stable release yet since they are still doing big design changes, but you can get it through the GNOME Nightly repo. I’ve been using it for quite a while now!

joojmachine,

Fortunately that’s what the GNOME Foundation is going for, having people dedicated to applying for grants and other programs. Hopefully there’s greater adoption by big companies and governments!

joojmachine,

Easy to imagine when you understand that this is developed to support hardware that is widely popular and that will be sold by a lot less in the second-hand market in a couple of years, and that this makes far easier for people that are currently stuck in this walled garden to experiment with free software.

joojmachine,

if they can manage for Asahi Linux to take advantage of the GPU

Umm, it already does for quite a while now (at least for regular usage). The work they’re currently doing will enable people to play games and other GPU-intensive work.

joojmachine,

of course it will, that’s not the point, the point is to make apps that use libadwaita look consistent even in platforms outside of GNOME

joojmachine,

Don’t worry, this article is mainly to clear some misunderstanding about libadwaita anyway, having questions about it is natural

joojmachine,

I’d recommend reading a bit more into the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines, your work already looks really good, and it’ll likely get even better with their insight.

joojmachine,

Welcome, we have cookies!

joojmachine,

yeah, proton vpn is the same, this guide is what made it finally work for me personally

joojmachine,

Same, their local translation tech is absolutely great! If they keep working “AI” features that are pretty much quality of life ML stuff I’m all in for it.

joojmachine,

It looks like they are riding the AI wave to bring more features that are just good, local ML-based, and I’m all in for it. Firefox Translation is a great recent example, it’s good.

joojmachine,

Good luck convincing people to switch to it based only on “it loads pages faster than Chrome” though. It’s a good goal to have, but getting tunnel-visioned on it when their current speed in real world use is pretty comparable is definitely not a good long-term plan.

joojmachine,

Oh, you mean FF for Android? Yeah, on that front it really needs a ton of work. On the desktop side things are pretty much fast to a point where in real world use the difference is minimal.

joojmachine,

You really overestimate how many people use an ad blocker. I wish it was that many.

joojmachine,

Hopefully.

joojmachine,

KDE Eco is (AFAIK) a project by the KDE folks to try and push for better optimizations for energy efficiency for software projects in general and to try and push for free software adoption by governments with the main push being the limits of software support by companies and the landfill that limited support creates.

joojmachine,

Definitely not involved with the project, just interested in seeing it develop 😅

joojmachine,

The point is pushing for wider free software adoption by organizations such as governments that are trying to meet ecologically “green” objectives.

joojmachine,

more people than you would imagine, unfortunately

the main takeaway from this is that when this becomes the default, eventually electron apps will also have this by default

joojmachine,

it’s something I’ve been pointing out for almost half a decade now, the main problem with KDE isn’t any of the bugs, it’s the lack of vision of what the project wants to be

it ends up being a mix of windows with now GNOME’s design due to it never being able to say no when people want “more features and more preferences”

joojmachine,

it’s a project with a cohesive idea of what it wants to build, to a certain extent they are perfectly right to stand with “their way or the highway”

this isn’t an apple thing, it’s just that in the operating system market there isn’t any other example of someone having a defined idea of what they want to build

KDE tries to be all of those things, but trying to cast too wide of a net just gets you a mess of settings and unfortunately buggy experience overall

small edit: I have a ton of respect for the KDE devs, I just realized I’ve been sounding too negative about them, I just don’t like the end product

joojmachine,

DaVinci Resolve is THE video editor on Linux. Unfortunately the libre apps for it don’t get even close, to the point that even with all the limitations in the free and paid versions, it still is the best option.

Also shout out to Bitwig Studio, although I don’t use it.

joojmachine,

It is, but when it comes to more complex needs, it falls short. It is really good for simpler editing needs and it is getting better fast.

joojmachine,

it totally does, it’s pretty easy to install and run on regular distros and just a bit more work to do in immutable ones, but with davincibox it’s bound to get better

joojmachine,

extremely common Ubuntu L

joojmachine,

make sure the hardware really works

Also make sure the software really works, one of the main issues with Linux adoption by hardware manufacturers is their lack of dedication to it. In Brazil, for example, most brands that ship with a Linux distro (except for DELL, which ships with Ubuntu) ship with basically digital waste (unmantained, poorly developed distros) just to make the hardware cheaper, because they know people will get it to just install a pirated copy of Windows in it.
