Same here, mine came ten days ago and I didn’t see it.
They should also give you a notification in Steam. I would’ve spotted that.
I wasn’t paying close attention, since my estimated availability date was December. Oh well. Now it says 2027. I’ll make sure to check more often anyway.
*edit: Oh damn, I should have read your entire message, lol. Maybe I can just get mine, too.
People give Windows a lot of flak for this, but at least it usually does turn off after finishing its updates.
MacOS is the one that will just literally ignore the fact that you told it to shut down. Or it takes forever to tell you that a program has unsaved changes. At least Windows will tell you that right away, so that you see the “something is preventing shutdown” message before you walk away from the computer. Your Mac will wait 15 minutes, and then be like, “by the way, the browser doesn’t want to close.”
“December, 2026.” Well Merry Christmas to me, I guess! :p
Well, at least it’s an update. I was just about to post in here if anyone had received a purchase link from their reservation yet. I made mine on May 10th; maybe that means I’ll be in the “this year” batch.
I love this. I’m thinking of making another partition on my laptop so I can have a separate OS with no desktop environment. Reclaiming my attention span has kind of been a project for me this year. I was casually exploring how to make a setup like this with an e-ink screen, but e-ink displays are more expensive that I was hoping.
Very cool! Sorry I have nothing to add to it, but this is a great idea, and radicle is a great fit for this.
Cool, that makes sense. Linux Mint has a reputation for user friendliness, it’s got to have one. The author of this article must have missed it.
I had to install Steam through the command line […] Steam is available in Linux Mint’s default repository, so I could get it with a quick “sudo apt-get install steam” in the terminal.
I’ve never used Mint before; does it not come with a graphical app store?
And man, I love how so many articles from major websites mentioning Windows 11 are actually about how to avoid it altogether. :D
I’ll always watch a presentation from a purple-haired cyberpunk over some bizbro with an array of asshole-shaped logos behind him.
(Actually, her presentation about using Qt in a car UI went way over my head, so I only watched a few minutes of it. But I’m watching exactly zero minutes of anything Nadella says nowadays.)
How does a company like this make money? Like, is it basically a consulting firm that plans to do development on core Linux features? Custom dev work that they are also able to open source? They already have quite a few employees on the about page.
No, but it does have three antennas, which you can position to form The Trident of Portseidon.
Seeing major projects move away from GitHub is so encouraging, I love it. But hopefully people also see that codeberg can use some donations to be able to handle the new traffic. (Which reminds me, I need to do that…)
We need a six-fingered version of this image. I’m guessing it’ll get a lot of use next year.
Linux nerds literally only want one thing and it’s fucking the idea that your full disk encryption will pay off one day.
Emacs is real whether you like it or not.
(Also I go past one of these billboards about once a week, and I’ve always been so curious about how many calls they get. Or what they say when you call. I should get a Google voice number and check it out.)
It’s basically a linux distro that’s meant to appeal to Windows users who want to keep the Windows look and feel.
In other words, blasphemy in this church.
I mean, a rusty USB port is pretty on-point here. It’s not often that the perfect stock photo pun exists, you have to take it when you get the chance.
It accurately got them backwards, the same way I always do. :)
Ahh, the classic Firefox logo. How old is that sticker?
That’s definitely my biggest complaint after switching to KDE earlier this year. Overall, I love it. I’d recommend it for new users because it’s easy to understand. But their design philosophy is all over the place when it comes to settings. There’s a mixture of hamburger icons, cog icons, and Settings menus in the toolbar. Plus the confusion of mixing settings related to the desktop environment right next to the application settings.
It’s not great with core apps, and then the community doesn’t have clear guidelines to go off of when making their own apps.
