Nice! I missed that.

So Lemmy communities have a third form:

1. The URL format for non-Lemmings: https://instan.ce/c/community
2. The Lemmy format for Lemmy clients: !community@instan.ce
3. The Mastodon "tag" format: @community@instan.ce

That's a Mastodon thread. This is Lemmy.

While Mastodon users can subscribe to Lemmy communities (such as this one: !linux@lemmy.ml or lemmy.ml/c/linux ) and see Lemmy posts in their feed, Lemmy users cannot normally comment on Mastodon threads.

I know what they mean, but: I run an immutable Linux distro on my phone that is maintained by Google. I'm sure more than 0.01% of Europe does the same.

I guess "FLOSS phone" doesn't have the same ring to it as "Linux phone"

Ubuntu 18.04 is end-of-life since Spring 2023. VS Code is going to require a newer version of glibc than Ubuntu 18.04 comes with. One does not simply upgrade glibc.

This new requirement was announced 6 months in advance, but no one reads the changelog, and enough companies still use Ubuntu 18.04 (hopefully while paying for the Extended Security Maintenance), so many people were surprised and unhappy when their VS Code stopped working for remote development over ssh on Ubuntu 18.04 servers. VS Code installs and runs stuff such as language servers on the remote machine.

This is pretty sick. Not just flatpaks but easily install any application, using apt or dnf package managers, or deb or rpm files, in a container with a simple syntax. Wow. Wrap a GUI around it and this may be a winning formula for an easy and stable Linux desktop.

FYI: Pop!_OS 22.04 uses systemd-boot, not GRUB.

I use rEFInd, which auto-detects my Windows boot partition. Though I had the Windows installation before the Linux one.

Systemd-boot should be able to detect a bootable Windows too. Those 3 boot options you saw once was systemd. Try to set that up as preferred boot manager in your BIOS/UEFI and you're set.

Corectrl is pretty cool, works on my all-AMD laptop with iGOU and dGPU
