This is what Gentoo needed. I’ve been using it for a long time and love it as it is but sometimes when there’s a bunch of slot conflicts or a compile error it makes me wish I just dealt with binaries instead. Now that we have the best of both worlds, it will make Gentoo appeal to a wider userbase and make it less painful to use on older hardware.

Any distro that’s based on an existing one but changes or adds very little to it. There are so many dead Ubuntu and Debian reskins

I love seeing stuff like this! I think anyone who is used to windows should try Linux out on a cheap laptop and see how they like it.

GNOME

Damn. I have dealt with this for so long that I forgot it was even a bug.

Not necessarily UI but the overuse of javascript on most websites. It makes browsing the web on low power and old devices a nightmare.

Yeah it’s great, It’s never been a better time to be a Linux user. There’s always something to look forward to and we get more support every year. I’m going to give cosmic a shot when they release it.

Glad to see another runcat user. It’s a must have extension.

That’s reassuring. I thought anyone outside of the US would think this is a disgusting calorie bomb. I mean it is but fuck it, I’ll have it.

I’m American so to me this looks good.

• Colloid GTK Theme (Colloid-Dark)
• Papirus (Papirus-Dark)
• Adwaita Cursor Theme

I used the Equilux GTK theme for years but it’s been abandoned since 2018 and GNOME has changed a lot since then. I switched to Colloid and it didn’t take much to tweak it to my liking, mainly reducing the size of the titlebar and panel.

I wish. Even xfce will get wayland support before they do.

It sucks that cool projects like hyprland are usually riddled with toxic weirdos that ruin it. It also sucks that there’s not much to choose in the wayland space that’s usable and actively developed but I refuse to use hyprland after seeing this.

There’s no better platform on the fediverse because of how many people are here.

I have been pretty comfortable here because I’m into nerdy things and most of us here are nerds. In fact, the only people that cared about reddit locking down the API were nerds or people jumping on the bandwagon because it was the next big thing. Others didn’t care and just wanted reddit back and a lot of people that were here in the beginning went back to reddit. We will probably grow overtime but there’s no point in wondering why lemmy isn’t more popular, just participate in the communities you like.

I can’t stand Bluetooth headphones, the delay is unbearable. It’s gotta be wired or 2.4ghz for me.

If there’s a game that can’t run on Linux in the current year then that’s intentional and it’s not worth anyone’s money.

Hopefully the day of RISC-V overthrowing x86 is sooner than we think. Progress on development has been fast and it’s very exciting.

Papirus is by far the best icon theme for Linux. It has icons for even the most obscure and niche applications

Nice, I love Mageia. I recommend anyone still distrohopping to give it a shot.
