Readme needs updating. Still references GNOME stuff.

A subscription for OS updates? That won’t for with most users.

First you need to explain what you want by lightweight. RAM, Disk, GPU, Pre installed packages? Features?

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

Apparently in Lemmy you can’t post a URL and an image 🤷.

Ah I see it’s just Lemmy failing to get the thumbnail that I was trying to fix. I guess it’s just something in Lemmy’s code.

justin,
@justin@lemmy.kde.social avatar

Yeah, looks to be an instance specific bug I guess. Hopefully it can get addressed soon. I think the thumbnail helps with drawing people’s attention to posts.

I gotta say and it feels weird to but I’m happy Arch are spending a bit longer testing these days. When I used to run it updates just felt rushed into the repo so Arch got it first.

Email sysadmin@kde.org from the email you signed up with.

I would jump into the KDE Connect Matrix room: go.kde.org/matrix/#/:kde.org and the KDE Mac room: go.kde.org/matrix/#/-Mac:kde.org to discuss. Builds are now done on GitLab directly, but it may be the case that nobody has set up the CI builds.

I think most KDE developers use Linux. The Windows, Mac and Android builds are generally extras to show off KDE software to more users.

Don’t look into code, you’ll find killing children.

complicate packaging, XML sucks (are there good editors or something?), I heard that the Flatpak builder is better for certain languages.

What has XML got to do with it? Flatpak manifests are either JSON (not great but OK) or YAML, which is great.

justin,
@justin@lemmy.kde.social avatar

Generally using only a few flatpaks is where it’s generally “bloaty”. Adding more actually balances out the equation ans you have more apps using generally shared runtimes.

justin,
@justin@lemmy.kde.social avatar

This is one of the biggest annoyances I’ve come across with them for sure.

justin,
@justin@lemmy.kde.social avatar

Probably JSON. I haven’t been involved in Flatpak for a long time but I’ve never seen XML. JSON is quite close to XML in it’s layout sometimes I find so easily mistaken.

They’ve sold other hardware here, what changed?

justin,
@justin@lemmy.kde.social avatar

Still it’s been almost 2 years and the Deck isn’t available in a LOT of countries.

The driver installation has got a lot easier over time, still shit that you have to install a driver, still shit support for older cards. The open drivers they’re building are too little too late for me. They didn’t care about my slightly older GPU so I stopped buying their hardware. All AMD/Intel from here on in.
