I’ve been using Silverblue and Universal Blue’s images for at least a couple of years now and although there were a couple of rare instances I had to manually intervene with my system due to issues, the experience is considerably better than a traditional distro.

Note : I’ve barely used gnome in my life so it’s based on memes I’ve saw about gnome

and it shows

joojmachine ,

Is the meme wrong?

Yes, it is.

basic functionality that should be in gnome in the first place

Who gets to decide what’s “basic” functionality? Each desktop’s team has their vision for what they want to implement. Something that might be basic to one person might not be in someone else’s vision or…

the devs don’t want to implement

…is being worked on but needs design. GNOME is design-oriented. It doesn’t matter how much you scream that something needs implementing if no one designs how that implementation will work and why it should be implemented in the first place. It’s not about “not wanting”, it’s about making sure that when something is implemented, that it’ll work well both now and in the future.

joojmachine ,

If you refuse to understand I’ll just refuse to engage further then, keep wasting your time on pointless discussions on free software built by volunteers and what they spend their time on. I’ll go back to actually working on them in whatever way I can.

joojmachine OP ,

Simple, they’ve been working with goals of each release, so most of the things that clearly aren’t going to make it to the next release don’t get top priority compared to the things that will. It also just so happened that a ton of these year-spanding works have finally being considered done today lol

joojmachine OP ,

Better well implemented and late than poorly but soon.

joojmachine OP ,

Sure, it’ll be there for those who want it. As an extension. It isn’t part of the vision the project has so they won’t implement it, they already have the Background Apps section for things like these. Simple as that.

joojmachine OP ,
  1. You should, this is a huge achievement that has been worked on for quite a while now.
  2. You can, actually. I live in a pretty small town and it picks up my location quite well for the weather.
  3. Even if it didn’t, one issue doesn’t mean we’re not allowed to celebrate anything, and the issue in this case isn’t even with GNOME itself, but with the provider for the Weather app (I believe it’s OpenWeather).
joojmachine OP ,

They’ve been doing quite a bit of work in the past year, on Newton, the future a11y stack, Spiel, for a better pipeline for speech synthesis (basically as an easy way to get more natural-sounding voice models) and on implementing AccessKit (the most recent stable a11y stack that is the same one the folks working on COSMIC are using).

joojmachine OP ,

The thing is, volunteers work on what they want/specialize. Unless you are their boss and are paying them to work on something, you can’t force their hand.

hopefully he didn’t get seriously hurt

here’s to hoping they don’t get the boeing treatment

joojmachine OP ,

Ah shoot, I wasn’t aware posts about them were a no-go, specially since this is a useful tool for people that already have hardware from them, it isn’t any sort of news about “hey buy our new product” or something like it.

AMD has preemptively dropped support for Windows 10 on its new Ryzen AI 300 Series chips (www.tomshardware.com)

In another attempt to convince us that “AI PCs” are somehow fundamentally different from the PCs we’re already using, AMD has officially dropped support for Windows 10 from its new AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series platform. This can be observed by glancing at the official AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 specs page, which now only lists...

I mean, there’s always another option beyond W11, if you catch my drift

Or Bottles!

There’s plenty of laptops with 2 separate graphics cards (mine included) and I’d say it’s the ideal experience if you need an NVIDIA card. Everything related to your system is done in the integrated Intel/AMD GPU (which works perfectly) and games and GPU intensive work (like CUDA) gets done in the NVIDIA one.

joojmachine ,

And there are distros where it works out of the box with no extra steps needed: Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and openSUSE IIRC

joojmachine ,

It does, I used to set it up during the time I used Arch, it takes a bit of reading to understand how it works, but works flawlessly once you set it up.

joojmachine ,

even better, use the money you’d pay for adobe suite and donate to open source alternatives

joojmachine ,

This. Right here.

The main reason we need to push for open source alternatives is this. The more people learn how to use them the more content around them we get and more people take interest in using it and helping develop it (and donate to it).

joojmachine ,

And it’s a huge downside. Meanwhile open source apps are usually available on every platform, with no purchase required.

joojmachine ,

I can totally recommend it, during the time I worked with design it was the closest I could get to photoshop when it comes to features and workflow, even more than GIMP, it’s awesome!

joojmachine ,

I can understand it, I almost paid for Davinci Resolve Studio due to it still being the most complete video editor that works on Linux, most of the time closed source apps function better (specially due to the biggest funding), but still, using open source whenever you can basically prevents this from ever happening (specially after Canva bought Affinity, I’d keep an eye out for the eventual enshittification)

joojmachine OP ,

Yeah, Papers doesn’t have a stable release yet since they are still doing big design changes, but you can get it through the GNOME Nightly repo. I’ve been using it for quite a while now!

joojmachine OP ,

Fortunately that’s what the GNOME Foundation is going for, having people dedicated to applying for grants and other programs. Hopefully there’s greater adoption by big companies and governments!

joojmachine OP ,

Easy to imagine when you understand that this is developed to support hardware that is widely popular and that will be sold by a lot less in the second-hand market in a couple of years, and that this makes far easier for people that are currently stuck in this walled garden to experiment with free software.

joojmachine OP ,

if they can manage for Asahi Linux to take advantage of the GPU

Umm, it already does for quite a while now (at least for regular usage). The work they’re currently doing will enable people to play games and other GPU-intensive work.

joojmachine OP ,

Will an app dependent on libadwaita that be usable on linux without gnome? Like xfce, or xmonad?

of course it will, that’s not the point, the point is to make apps that use libadwaita look consistent even in platforms outside of GNOME

joojmachine OP ,

Don’t worry, this article is mainly to clear some misunderstanding about libadwaita anyway, having questions about it is natural

joojmachine ,

I’d recommend reading a bit more into the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines, your work already looks really good, and it’ll likely get even better with their insight.
