I really prefer the ubuntu way to the Gnome one. Currently, very few actually productive apps use the gnome 3 way, and it's not nearly as standardized across Desktops as the menu bar is. On top o…

A minute of silence for Ubuntu's unity, where they completely solved top bar UX by having the option to have it in the window title bar. God I wish they hadn't abandoned development on it.

They say they're deciding between plasma mobile and a customized full plasma as an interface so maybe hopefully they can actually provide a low-latency input layer which seems hard to do on Andro…

This is a really good discussion to be had. There is an argument to be made about putting traditionally underrepresented groups of people front and center in articles like this, but it all depends on …

The site requests access to connected VR headsets when I open it. Is that intended?

I really like elementary and the ecosystem-like, but open approach they're taking to desktop linux. One aspect of it I feel often goes underappreciated is how lightweight it is. Provided you have…

One way to "fix" this IMO would be to allow proprietary apps, but keeping the 30/70 split for those to account for increased monitoring and having them confined by the same flatpak perm…

Steam uses flatpak-like runtimes now that should hopefully make backwards compatibility a non-issue going forward. https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/wikis&#…

this is the way, you don't even have to have 2 desktops open, just win + tab and then open a new one for taskmgr.

Maybe they're looking to start on a clean slate with their RISC-V investments then, they're late to the ARM game and will never catch up to apple or probably even qualcomm, their x86 designs…

They'll run day 1, if it comes with the proper repos you just pacman install retroarch and you're emulating everything under the sun.
