I use Nvidia’s proprietary driver because the open-source Nouveau driver won’t work with my display. Will this update break the driver, or just make it slower?
I’d love to stop using Nvidia, but I don’t have much choice about using their proprietary driver until I get my next video card, or Nouveau starts working for me.
Nvidia is undermining patent law. That should be an issue that big corpos can understand.
after 90 days, they just send the BAT back to you. They don’t keep it.
The idea is that you’re not supposed to minimize windows at all under Gnome’s workflow, and you maximize by double-clicking the headerbar to save space. You get used to it.
For a 100% libre kernel, I feel like this is the more sensible option than Hurd, just to take advantage of all the effort that goes into the Linux kernel. I’m not knowledgeable on kernels in the first place though, so maybe a micro-kernel really is the best way to go once you figure out the proper architecture.
Once you get used to it, single click just makes more sense. It’s more consistent with how clicking works basically everywhere else in computer software as well.
Number 3 is by far the most important, because most people just don’t think about what web browser they’re using. A lot of people don’t even think about web browsers at all. They just think of the web browser app as “the internet”, and that’s it.
If you want to be nitpicky about it, you could consider it to not be an “ad” because its not a company paying to put that text there. It’s Ubuntu promoting their own product. But I don’t think it makes much of a difference in this case, since it’s a big annoyance either way.
Fedora (with Plasma) and I don’t plan on moving to another distro until something tangible happens. Switching my distro based on hypothetical situations would keep me from ever staying on any distro for very long.
That being said if I had to use another distro, I feel like I’d try out Debian stable, while using Flatpaks and Distrobox to get up-to-date software. That feels like it would be a good approximation of the excellent middleground that Fedora has.
I think this is about the formation of the Open Enterprise Linux Association, which Oracle is a founding member of.
Very cool! I’m a big fan of the Neodays tileset because I find that the distinct colors for different entities helps to make things very easy to identify at a glance. This seems to keep that feature, while upping the resolution to make the shape of things more identifiable too. I’m interested to try it out!
The fact that this isn’t the first time I’ve seen someone make that false equivalence demonstrates pretty well the problem that comes when a small number of instances have the majority of Lemmy’s total users. I chose a small instance myself, partially to do my part in avoiding this issue, but the consolidation will likely continue to be a big problem until a good solution can be thought up and implemented.

Wow! On Fish, it brings up a whole search bar with a colored grid of results and tab to select and fuzzy finding. This is cool!
Fedora is great! It ended my distro-hopping.
As someone who currently uses a note-taking app with tags, I’d highly recommended adding that as a feature if it’s not out of scope. I couldn’t imagine going back to taking notes without tags. It makes organization so much simpler.
fwiw I remember reading around a year ago, a post by the KDE contributor Pointiest Stick that he actually thinks that Fedora has a better Plasma experience than Opensuse. I can’t find the post where he said that though so take it with a grain of salt. But as someone who does use Fedora with Plasma, it feels like it mostly works fine. The only big issue I can think of atm is that the Plasma Discover auto-updater just doesn’t work at all. It doesn’t auto update. That could just be an issue specific to me though.
This actually sounds like a really good idea! This could be big! I wanna try this for myself to get a feel for it.
For something as important as your web browser, that’s a pretty good reason to me.
