TIme for the usual end-of-the-week #Linux and #OpenSource News video!
In this one, we have #Microsoft doubling down on errors, with #VSCode dropping #Ubuntu 18.04 without any warning (which is a problem, because auto updates are a very common thing), and #Edge grabbing browsing data from #Chrome without asking for consent.
We also have #Fedora 40 KDE going back a bit on their removal of X11, and some unintended consequences of #RedHat licensing changes:
@thelinuxEXP Well I guess I'm glad I stopped using VSCode in favor of PyCharm and Kate 🤣
You can actually do quite a lot with extensions in PyCharm Community Edition. I have plugins for #Shell scripting, #Rust and #Crystal. Only problem is PyCharm Pro costs money (unless someone else picks up the tab), but I've found Kate to be very capable.
@thelinuxEXP I cant wait for wine to be wayland native and for the support of wow64. outside godot (godot is getting wayland support in 4.3), its the only thing i use that uses xwayland and its the only app that uses 32 bit libraries.
@thelinuxEXP
Checked the January release notes and 20.04 is the minimum system requirements and one of your comments mentioned an earlier warning from August. 🙂
@medina87@thelinuxEXP Yes, but they auto update on most systems. To accommodate for that, there should have been a big warning box, or pop-up. No one reads release notes, and if you installed VS Code when 18.04 was supported, you have no idea they changed that :)
