I love the names of these programs. And they are all very welcome to the cinnamon DE. I was missing an integrated terminal and GNOME’s wasn’t cutting it, neither alacritty. Compared to Plasma, Cinnamon was lacking some important elements and these new programs will fill that void.

Nemo IS the default file manager.

It’s good to know this alternative mentioned by OP. I don’t play online, and pretty sure that’s not only me.

I can’t edit to see Linus fucking loose it with Claude.

Good. I’m subscribing.

What’s so new about Plasma’s desktop paradigm? I would expect that about GNOME’s, but Plasma’s? It’s a polished and consistent UI, that it is.

Also, customization in Plasma is overwhelming, and I know KDE since version 2.

It’s Mint for beginners. Or openSUSE Leap, but they keep depending on su instead of sudo, so newcomers will get confused with this.

Is it open to everyone? I have to ask, since yesterday I was accused of being a rapist in an instance with a beef against “tankies”, and their behavior was really shitty and shady.

Also, the failure gets registered forever, for example, in RAID disks you’ll never get a 100% healthy disk with such situation.

Mint does actually listen to their community. Maybe they found out these apps were lacking some functionality. I can understand they would want xapps for calendar and reading. I currently use Qt apps, other than GNOME calendar, can’t remember a decent app for calendar and eBook reading outside Qt.

Oh, come on. They are right about the DRM, I can give them the benefit of the doubt.

I’m not an English speaker, what’s that symbol? Why is it causing some reactions?

Only if you have an internet connection active. Otherwise, I believe it’s just insert disc and play, IIRC.

I wouldn’t have a problem if it was only 100 MB. The problem is when a couple of programs amount for several GB of dependencies. I still use flatpaks, but can’t have this in general. Flatpaks are more like extremely exceptional in my systems.

I use fedora, debian and mint because I have several computers for different usecases. I wouldn’t recommend Fedora for this, all the others are gold in my experience, but newbies really should go through Mint first.

I used Sailfish OS on my good old Redmi Note 4 (mido). It was an interesting OS with the usual lack of niche apps for an alternative OS. Anyway, be cautious of Jolla’s history of broken promises. I’m not saying don’t buy, just be careful and level your expectations.

Btw

Nothing, but in some countries banks force you to use apps. You know, "for your security ".

As I said before, it matters to me and I will be doing this until it’s possible. I know I’m not using as much AI through software as someone that just don’t care about it. It’s not a categorical thing to use it or not, sometimes you don’t even get to choose, that’s life. I believe it’s as important to take this fight against the industry of AI as a whole as the oil companies, probably even more important. Honestly, the developer already made their decision, and that’s okay for me.

That’s where we are different. I don’t use Lutris, now I’m sure I won’t be trying it. Of course there are people who think this is relevant. I didn’t think I’d have to explain to you that it is not about them using AI as a tool, it’s about not giving enough information about their authorship what concerns me. I suppose they accept donations, well, it is important to me that part of my donations don’t end up with companies that hurt the environment and people’s jobs. Did auto-completion technologies steal almost all humankind constructed knowledge? Do they need catastrophic amounts of environmental resources to work? Do they produce grave diseases to whole populations near them? Did they disrupt several markets for being created? How many employments did they ruin?
