Linux@programming.dev•New Rule Forbids GNOME Shell Extensions Made Using AI Generated CodeEnglish
12·12 days agoOh come on, Gnome 45 was only 2 years ago. I guess we’ll see how extensions go then, but I’m not holding my breath. I wouldn’t waste my time on building anything for Gnome at this point. I abandoned Gnome at the garbage-collector BS where they blamed extension devs for the memory leak then used the big hammer solution.
In the meantime:

I’ve used Gnome on and off for about a quarter century. There have been devs with very popular extensions that have sworn off Gnome because of their attitude towards breaking extensions. So if they’ve suddenly become concerned about breaking things people rely on to make Gnome marginally usable after Gnome itself has removed popular features, then that’s a recent trend. So pull the other one.

Does NixOS apply kernel updates live? I can’t recall from when I used it.

2·26 days agoI guess that was my point. It ships with whatever has been packaged up to now, and there is no “default” NixOS anything, not even the display manager.

4·26 days agoI can’t say I follow you. The price difference between ecc and nonecc should be so low as to make nonecc extinct, in a world where the marketing shits at Intel didn’t have their way. How would it end up being a negative?

14·26 days agoBlame Intel for making that a bold statement. Their refusal to allow ECC on anything except expensive server SKUs for decades set data integrity back substantially.
Fuck Intel.

49·26 days agoHe spent a lot of years shitting on Linux on his channel before he pulled his head out of his ass and got halfway conciliatory about it. The few times he tried Linux it seemed like the entire show was designed to fail using linux to push people away. And considering how mercenary he has been throughout the years, it wouldn’t surprise me if he was paid to do that.

3·1 month agoI would use KDE Neon before I’d bother trying kubuntu yet again. Manjaro does a reasonable KDE version as well. Maybe Endeavour and Open SUSE too.
Fedora KDE is my distro of choice though.
