What do you think is the best thing to happen to #Linux in the last few years?

Give me your most controversial Linux takes that nobody wants to admit are actually true.

I'll start, Photoshop isn't actually a big deal for most people and it being missing is easier to complain about than fixing the real issues on the desktop

Ubuntu 24.04 is out for a few weeks now. How do you feel about it?

Proton Experimental brings controller support for more launchers on Steam Deck / Linux https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/proton-experimental-brings-controller-support-for-more-launchers/

This analysis by @boilingsteam is the most reliable estimation of #Linux distributions usage I know of.

Until 2012ish MediaWiki published statistics based on browsers' user agent.

At the beginning of this chart there's a similar scenario 7 years later, with Ubuntu very strong, but in 5 years the picture has completely changed.

Arch has dethroned Ubuntu (among gamers at least), the ecosystem is more diverse, and new distros gain terrain.

Eagerly expecting updates!

Is Linux hard to use? It turns out the answer is both “yes, absolutely” and “not at all!”

Damn yeah. Finally fixed the pin entry program to actually use the secret service on and to stop asking all the time for the password for signing commits.

It seems a somewhat recent breaking change, since this worked before. Anyway, someone had already written about it on wiki.

Tldr: after setting the pin entry program on gpg-agent config to use the qt version, we need to change the gpg-agent service to have XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP as anything but "kde".

vascorsd,
@vascorsd@mastodon.social avatar

The latest version of pin entry is 1.3.0 which doesn't have the new option described there about setting the env variable PINENTRY_KDE_USE_WALLET=1.

So for now we need to do:

systemctl --user edit gpg-agent.service

And add the following:

Environment="XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=pooper-hack"

Save, exit, reload the agent.

Just tested and fixed things on my side with this.

You're all welcomed 😌

Anyway this seems all kinda ridiculous because it's about some potential problem when using kwallet as the secret service and kwallet configured to use as the backend? I never knew that was possible.

Anyway, currently I'm using with its secret service integration to make all this work.

Rogue Voltage is a refreshing and very creative engineering roguelike, and probably one of the best games I've played this year https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/rogue-voltage-is-a-refreshing-and-very-creative-engineering-roguelike/

A reminder that Vanilla OS, @pop_os_official , @elementary and many others, doesn’t impose snaps and still allows you to install your Deb files 😉

@Corb_The_Lesser You are right but:

  • the need to ask for the removal of flatpak to push snap into flavors, and here I'm talking about the intention, no matter they all agreed
  • the fact that some packages like chromium lies installing snap
  • the fact that the store doesn't even support other sources like flatpak, while the old one does

all of this make me think of an imposition. Tbh what I see in this matter is the desire to push snap but not having the courage to call it what it is: a choice.

Corb_The_Lesser,
@Corb_The_Lesser@mastodon.social avatar

@mirkobrombin No argument from here that Canonical's handling of Snaps, apart from whatever their technical merits may or may not be, has been a mess. If Canonical has so much confidence in Snaps, why not make them opt-in and pitch them with lots of PR about their benefits?

I'd try an all-Snap or all-Flatpak distribution. But, as of now, neither offer me any advantages in a mixed environmont with debs or rpms. They introduce the disadvantage of coping with multiple packaging mechansisms.

@manuel @gnulinuxitalia Partendo dal presupposto che sono consigli e non verità assolute, per un nuovo utente consiglio senza dubbi ZorinOS.
Leggerissimo, base debian-ubuntu, bello da vedere, stabile, facile da usare e configurare.
