  • Yes, but it is the cause for having issues jumping between networks and never having proper IPv6 support.

    What issues are you having? I have no issues with switching between networks and using IPv6 on Fedora KDE.

    The only thing I ever noticed was that its stubborn with releasing its DHCP IP addresses and there is no refresh button in KDE. Disabling and enabling again usually solves that, although not sure if that is on NetworkManager or dhclient.

    Everything is “out of scope” with GNOME these days it seems.

    It is, that’s why it is not a suitable DE for people that need more than the basics. I wish they were better with adding advanced features but they are not and probably never will be.

    KDE might not be as pretty and flashy but it is pretty extensive when it comes to settings and fast with implementing new features.



  • Of course! If it has an installer, run it through Bottles first.

    • Mount the ISO file in KDE/GNOME
    • Create a new bottle in Bottles
    • Open the bottle and select the executable on the mounted ISO to start
    • When choosing an install directory, install to the Z: drive if possible so you don’t have to look for the files in your Bottles prefix
    • Follow the installer normally

    Once done, you can either start the game directly in Bottles or create a non-Steam shortcut in Steam and select the exe of the game you just installed.

    I prefer running it through Steam because then I always have access to the latest Proton versions.

    Didn’t try FF7 but played Alan Wake 2 like this.



  • This seems like common sense, no?

    Hindsight is 20/20. As seen in the post, there’s not that many APIs that don’t just blindly redirect HTTP to HTTPS since it’s sort of the default web server behaviour nowadays.

    Probably a non-issue in most cases since the URLs are usually set by developers but of course mistakes happen and it absolutely makes sense to not redirect HTTP for APIs and even invalidate any token used over HTTP.









  • I also really like GNOME the software but I moved away a few months ago because of this.

    As is, the current GNOME is unusable to me without extensions because they refuse to implement support for appindicators. You literally cannot use applications that minimize to tray on vanilla GNOME right now. They have been talking about adding their own protocol for years but that is of no use when things are broken right now.

    Important features and bug fixes are always stuck in merge request limbo for years. VRR for Wayland got merged recently after 4 years and it’s still experimental. DRM leasing is still missing on Wayland, KDE added it 3 years ago.

    The final straw was when KDE announced HDR support last year I switched over because I knew GNOME would probably lag behind by months or even years.





  • I’m also a C# dev and I have been using Linux for years now.

    VS Code was pretty much unusable in the beginning when compared to VS. However, nowadays VS Code is very capable at syntax highlighting and debugging.

    There is no support for WPF and Forms applications on Linux, since I mostly write web and console applications I don’t mind running a Windows VM for those few exceptions. There is also no support for Maui applications but as things are going right now it seems to not be going anywhere anyway.

    Since we mostly deploy to Linux servers nowadays anyway it has actually made my job easier since I can run Docker without having to fiddle with it every day like I had to on Windows.
