Damn, he working hard. Do search engines these days even go that deep?

Dang, I really dislike npm shit, but I might check this out

Be careful with these containerized distros. I would read bit more before jumping into something not standard as of now. In particular, making changes to the root image by installing packages works a lot differently than good old Linux distros.

Otherwise Fedora's KDE spin is quite good, too. They include a lot of extraneous packages, though.

Story of my life. With short hair, I think longer would look better. Once I grow it out a bit and it looks ugly again, I give up and have it cut. Only to immediately regret it. When will the cycle end‽

I'm sure there's some community pull as well, because most of the rust ecosystem seems to be converged on MIT. But what despairs me is the wilful sidelining of GPL and everything GNU by some open source community members/corporate people. So yeah, you're probably right

Yes, as much as I appreciate memory safety and rust in particular. I'm very worried by this pivot away from copyleft and GPL. Specially the rewriting in rust phenomenon of fundamental stuff. It's safer, yes, but they're all pretty much non GPL and it seems very risky to me. Make no mistake, the industry is riding this wave to move away from copyleft to permissive licenses.

I wish that people understood the importance of FSF and GNU

Quite the same case as with matrix. I very much prefer AGPL over all the other permissive licences, but I don't know, the CLA leaves a bad taste in the mouth

Nah, man. That shit seems enjoyable but it's just sad and depressing in there

To the people who switched to it from latex for technical documents (involving equations), how much adjustment did it need? I'm in the process of writing some papers/presentations and I'm fairly comfortable with latex but sometimes I do wish it was simpler

Fair enough, but did they use it? I always felt like focusing on statistics instead of random trig stuff for non stem people people would be more useful

This is looking really promising! Pipewire already has pretty much solved audio issues (at least for me) entirely and now with HDR on the cusp, the year of the Linux desktop is nigh! Barring some Adobe BS and CAD stuff, there really isn't much left
