It’s like that era of putting pink ribbons on everything for breast cancer that also signaled you were a supporter of women. Commercialized activism. Be real. This will sell very little. We’ll get some news articles about how it’s trending with Gen z that are rejecting technology and always online culture. It’ll actually only be a small amount of Gen z but you know blogspam going to blogspam.

It’s a crappy product. We need a Linux phone that would actually be a halo product for people to not feel like they’re ripping themselves off to get away from Google and Apple

When I started with Linux like 15 years ago, I felt I needed a ccleaner replacement and it’s rarely ever been necessary. Something I’ll run once in however many years for no good reason

Interestingly, the Ubuntu Concept image is aiming to use ACPI-based support for the platform rather than frustrating Device Tree files.

That’s cool

If I wasnt worried about price to performance then I would get that Spacemit k3 riscv laptop. It’ll have an NVME. Should be fine for non heavy tasks. If you are a software developer, it’d probably be good for most tasks. I remember back when all the old Linux elite software developers complained about desktop environments using too much memory on their 512MB memory laptops that are perfectly good software people love to use

Definitely interested in this. Want to see if it has a good lock screen that works well with a gamepad. Install it on my regular desktop

Please show us proof of code in the Linux kernel and in FreeBSD kernel that would suggest Linux is more susceptible to exploits. How about explaining SELinux to us and the equivalent in FreeBSD and how they compare. If you can’t, why make assertions of things you should have the self awareness to know you don’t know and understand?

That’s interesting. That’s not actually a huge volume of resellers and buyers on eBay. I’m guessing one more shipment of controllers like the last and up for sale on steam and that’ll kill the above msrp resale price

Really should have just let people preorder to get ideas for day one demand. I expect after one major restock, the resale value tanks and things are normal in gamepad land again. I’m always annoyed with these companies not taking backorders. They did that with the Deck. It’s a controller sold by the company it’s from sold in its store that has already had backorders done for the Deck launch. This isn’t Nvidia and AIB partners. This is fully Valve controlled in a proven storefront. They could have handled this way better

Need that steam machine. Says the controller can wake it up without the puck plugged in. That’s just what I need for a TV PC gaming machine

Ehh. 7.1 isnt that old. If they don’t make any newer available until 28.04, then this’ll just be a major baseline. It’ll nice regardless just if it leads to more rocm support. The package and maintainers are in place for this to keep going every 6 months

Touch pads and back buttons. I don’t have any gamepads with this many buttons. Once I get one I’ll try less gamepad friendly games with community layouts

Hoping this becomes more common. Gamepad friendly UI designs. Start a new home theater PC golden age

I’ve tried running it twice full-time and ended up going to Kubuntu. My bad on judging KDE Plasma from my experience with it when Plasma 5 was new. I just used Gnome all this time. A decade later KDE is actually what I was hoping Cosmic would become someday. Really polished up compared to early Plasma 5 days

I still keep pop_os on an old laptop to monitor progress. I like it. Just needs a lot more fleshing out

Don’t know what’s special about this one. Ikey Doherty though is well known for starting new distros. Managing to get them into a relatively stable and semi-popular state. Then leaving and starting a new distro. Seems very capable. No idea what happens behind the scenes for him to keep dropping out from the distros he founds

I remember when Solus (I think it was called Evolution or Evolve OS first) and people were calling Ikey leaving the project to start a new one eventually. Always happens

It’s funny to frame it as bravery. Maybe that’s clickbait strategy. Regardless desktop Linux is great. Only a handful of kernel level anticheat games are a problem. No you don’t need adobe suite for your YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok influencer aspirations. Even open source applications that don’t stack up to Adobe or Avid or whatever exceed what’s needed to succeed in social media. More than enough for what amounts to solo projects

I feel like things in the consumer software space for Linux is getting there like desktop Linux ~10 years ago. Waydroid is solid. Android translation layer is in development. Valve with Steam machines.

Krita and GIMP look to be in good positions. Kdenlive doesn’t crash all the time anymore. Can have good consumer interest synergy between regular Linux/SteamOS/Pop_OS if they ever get big selling hardware and Linux phones

Android apps needed as part of the proposition now. But eventually over many many years there should eventually be a good ecosystem of Linux native phone apps
