My main hope for this is that their feedback helps the development of benchmarking and profiling tools on Linux. They do have quite a bunch of experience with them that could be really useful.

Long story short, there was a bug with apt that Pop!_OS didn’t patch before the release. They did so after the latest version at the time was released. Had he updated his system before trying to install Steam, it’d never happened, that’s the worst part.

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.

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

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

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

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”

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.

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.

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

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.

Can we please, in the year of the lord and savior, stop linking to flatkill for once? They have been debunked at least 5 different times at this point, so let me link to a couple of them: …gitlab.io/…/Flatpak-an-insecurity-nightmare/

…gitlab.io/…/response-to-flatkill-org.html

Some of your points aren’t bad, just not up to date to what most of the ecosystem has been doing for a while now.

Nope, I’m not the developer, I just found it really interesting and decided to share
