Droidify is just a wrapper for f-droid and various repos… it’s affected in the same way

When was the last time you used Ubuntu though?

Some people could say “last time I used Ubuntu it was full of Amazon ads!” But that would have been like 13 years ago

The thing about Ubuntu that kills me (as a user of it) is the other users who comment on reddit/r/Ubuntu.

They are so confidentally incorrect about so much shit.

Talk about removing snaps?

“Core gnome functionality on Ubuntu requires snaps”

That’s not even remotely true. Snaps download Gnome* runtime libraries for it, just like Flatpaks do to run the snaps.

Just an example but still. I see so much crap like this.

It’s cheesy because they hid cheese 🧀 in the levels

Technically done at level ?? that leveled them up to level 16. So even weaker

Trying to do a chromatic boss in Act 3 and jeeeze it’s moves are so difficult to time and it’s a flying enemy so I can’t really even attack it.

Very very few companies I know of hire at that - except maybe in like New York and California where the cost of living is much higher anyways?

I was really hoping for a PSVR2 port of Alyx, and the timing with a lot of PS games coming to Steam had my theorizing that was a compromise they made with Valve to make it happen but I think that was just wishful thinking now.

Thats because flatpaks treat each apps directory as their own $HOME so instead of $HOME/.mozilla its $HOME/.var/app/{app_name}/.mozilla

Which is still fantastic dont get me wrong. But Mozilla hasn’t stopped hardcoding their Mozilla folder instead of the xdg dirs even throughf firefox issue tracker has had it on there for 20 years

This is why I use flatpaks. Keeps most of the offending the dotfiles in .var directory scoped to the app itself

My Thinkpad T14s Gen 4 has a few annoying bugs still on linux…

The WiFi chip will randomly be stuck at make 1kbps download speed after waking up from sleep

And occasionally on waking up sleep as well the screen never comes back on.

I wish I had something more compatible with linux even if I do love this thinkpad

Heliboard has had a ton of commits in their repo the past few weeks. I’d expect a new release before too long but it has been a long time since the last one for sure. But it’s definitely active.

I love Ubuntu’s default yaru theme, and gnome extensions. It seems currently the best distro on my Thinkpad which is unfortunately pretty incompatible to most linux distros due to the shitty Qualcomm WLAN drivers.

Plus Ubuntus package repository is pretty robust.

The only negative thing IMO is snaps being kind of iffy. I don’t think they are that bad but they seem a little too forced on the user.

Like Flatpak is kind of default on Fedora but they almost never force them on you.

Its not by the same dev. Tavi seems involved via the git commits but the project seems to mostly involve someone who goes by relan and another called IratePorcupine

Right people who install various apps like McDonalds apps etc, are these even typical to GrapheneOS users? I’d think most would avoid superfluous data stealing apps.

80 year old grandmas trying to find the Ctrl and Alt buttons on her printer…

I think the premise is:

Debian stable, slow release cycle

Arch bleeding edge, always latest updates to packages

Fedora - 6 month release cycle? So something in between?

Slammed/slams is my absolute least favorite headline trend of the past decade. So trash.

Soon to be rebranded as Thunderbird

The checks stopped clearing?
