How is it compared to wofi?

If you say “a 10d10”, I know what you mean, but “10d10” is definitely the sum of 10 10-sided dice.

Exact same. Sway’s 1.0 release was March of 2019, and it did everything I needed.

Even playing games on my desktop, Xwayland worked fine for me.

Nope. If you open a nonexistent path and you have permissions to write to that directory, then that file is created.

Others have mentioned disk usage and desktop integration. There is some truth to them, but shared runtimes keeps disk uasge down (although worse than native apps). Desktop launchers now search /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications by default, but I’m still having issues with themes in one or two niche apps.

Trust is the big one. The benefit of your distro’s packages is that they are maintained by a limited number of maintainers. Flatpaks have a much, much larger number of maintainers, which is where sandboxing comes in. Flathub now marks apps with lax permissions as “potentially unsafe”, which is a huge step in communicating this to the average user.

Most desktop apps can get away with having next to no access, as long as they support the appropriate XDG desktop portals.

Ultimately, your mileage will vary, as there are many classes of application which are ill-suited to being sandboxed. Program launchers, programming languages, IDEs, file managers are a few.

I grew up with Fahrenheit, but switched my weather app to use Celsius for a while, and I’ve internalized it pretty well. It works fine. The “human experience” angle doesn’t work anyway because that experience is very locale-dependent.

If you’re looking for legitimate advice, you’re in the wrong community. Anarchychess is for chess memes.

That said, what my noob brain sees:

• it attacks white’s c pawn
• it activates black’s queen
• it prevents Qa4+, allowing black to castle

Edit: Qa4, not Qh4

I used to use Strawberry, but my collection has grown enough that I can’t just sync it everywhere, so I use Jellyfin now. I still use Strawberry’s library management to move files into album artist/album/00 - track.ext though. Someday I’ll dig into id3v2 to just write a script instead.

You’re deluded if you think that “everybody” let alone a large minority of people say that the Linux desktop is “good, perfect and polished”.

Our group did a two-part Microscope-like after a “season” of 14 sessions to wrap up a ton of loose ends and set up the next season. It was super satisfying to zoom in on only what the players wanted to see and resolve.

Our first session of January is going to be another Microscope session too, we’ve got a giant pointcrawl to backtrack and see the fallout of our action or inaction.

Its incredibly common to be thrown by this. Like many memes, the original incarnations were to be taken at face value, but then a layer of irony got applied, and the ironic/self-deprecating variant became the norm.

If you use EndeavourOS, know that you shouldn’t ask for support on the Arch forums, its a policy they have.

The upside of not changing the I/O is accessory compatibility.

It varies. Reddit is/was the primary forum for a number of projects, and as each sub is community moderated, could be quite rich, even if the whole is “generally full of garbage”.

Hard agree. I’ve played exclusively with one group, and we’ve only ever played with Into the Odd-style combat. It’s been plenty expressive for us.

I get your point. Since a .tar.zst file can be handled natively by tar, using .tzst instead does make sense.
