This is a good thing, it is much needed for Snap and Flatpak and will make sandboxed applications less confusing for those who don't grog flatseal/kde-settings/etc. and adds convenience for everyone.

Yeah Denmark is very relaxed about bodies and public nudity in general. Denmark was the world's first country (in the modern world) to legalize porn. However, consent matters and consenting to one type of exposure doesn't mean consenting to everything.

Greybeard here. I can use vi, emacs, nano, etc. and use whatever is available if it suits the job. For many years I did dev in emacs on my computers and on other systems used vi for quick edits. Currently on my own laptop I have micro as default term editor now. For Rust development - code, though I have hopes for Lapce.

They're all just tools and so are people who get tribal about things.

Well, yes use-case is key. But interestingly ext4 will never detect bitrot/errors/corruption. BTRFS will detect corrupted files because its targeted users wants to know. It makes it difficult to say what's the more reliable FS because first we'd have to define "reliable" and the perception of it and who/what do we blame when the FS tells us there's a corrupted file detected?. Do we shoot the messenger?

For a few years I used a distro that had btrfs as default, including scheduled automatic maintenance. Never had to bother about manual balancing or fiddeling with the FS.

Yeah I gave up and installed Windows in a VM, I use it for those annoying forms and some old tax software.. My kid also wants to use powerpoint occationally. It's quick and easy to install in a VM though and doesn't take up much space but I got a lot of room on my SSD so everything is relative.

I'd like a Linux solution for the forms but it's still convenient to have a Windows VM once in a blue moon.

...and new font handling, several layer features - including tools working on multiple layers, new and improved tools, wayland support, widows Ink support, new plugin architecture, dynamic guides, improved file handling (formats, bigger files, etc), I think some gesture stuff as well? The non destructive editing is implemented for some things, not others (e.g. if adding a shadow to text and changing the text, the shadow will change too). I probably forgot some stuff..

I installed it on my gaming laptop. The OS is solid, probably one of the best distros for laptops out-of-the-box and COSMIC is pretty good but have some rough edges like problems with tray icons and games, so I also did a quick "apt install gnome-session". I'll switch over to Plasma 6 in a little while when it's ready, never was a GNOME fan but it's ok for a couple of months.

When playing with COSMIC I use Nautilus as COSMIC Files is still missing features like adding smb shares and file compress/extract. I'll probably be able to use the DE full time later this year.

Wifi workaround here.

Ah, I see thank you for the reply. I was under the impression the Mint team favored Flatpak over Snap.

[–] ProtonBadger@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I haven't used either, just curious; what kind of difference is there between regular Ubuntu based Mint and LMDE? I thought it was mostly just more recent packages with the Ubuntu base?

Yeah, I’ve done C++ for a couple of decades. So much less time is spent debugging with Rust, I love it. We have powerful processors and compilers, they’re meant to do tedious work for us, might as well let them do more to ensure “correctness” for us.

Besides I love the simple things like Option and Result.
