This was the pipe dream for many many years now. Not the first time MS is talking about it either.

It’s a thing in the Linux world and it’s just too costly to support and therefore most user facing distros outright don’t support it.

Yes. KDE is in fact much lighter and faster than GNOME. Apart from lower RAM usage, it taxes your CPU and GPU less.

Seriously. I just can’t escape. I think it’s nice to have people who support xism while also having people that support yism and zism, as it creates a healthy environment where we can discuss things throughly; since each member will see, recognize, and interpret what they see differently and possibly contribute more.

Vast majority of Lemmy users are in the same demographic which barely provides differing opinions so there’s basically nothing to discuss (apart from things do not sit well with said demographic).

I really do hope this platform somehow attracts users from every ideology much like Tildes.

What? These things are not related to each other by a good margin. In fact, since the FOSS is completely orderless, it goes against communism; which requires some sort of order just to be able to function. But either way, the parallel is not there or questionable at best, not to mention irrelevant.

Can we NOT drag useless politics into FOSS?

Best solution: Stop using Chrome.

It’s not the fastest nor the most feature rich anymore, not even the simplest.

I find it naive to think GNOME would suddenly start caring about compatibility as moving to a standard doesn’t guarantee such.

Yup Play attestation is dead, even the new and shiny “secure” one is bypassed. It’s now just a hinderence.

Unfortunately not a feasible solution. If the vast majority of websites support this, any sort of OSS solution is dead to the average user.

Then the distro doesn’t matter that much. You shouk go for either Snaps or Flatpaks for applications as they won’t break the system even if something catastrophic happens.

Personally I’d go for distros with great deal of support (Pop, Fedora and Mint) and put Flathub as the main source in the respective app stores. Smaller distros tend to have more issues that requires some troubleshooting at times.

Check how does she uses Ubuntu first though, if she’s using the Canonical’s additions to Gnome a lot, she’ll have a horrible time with vanilla Gnome as it’s pretty barebones, that’ll rule out any distro with vanilla Gnome such as Fedora. Trust me, you don’t want to be babysitting your partners computer.

If she’s coming from Windows, Mint is a much better choice with Cinnamon

Also, the frame drops. Oh the frame drops. Searching and app and scrolling down always drops frames since Google switched away from Android Market. I can’t imagine how does it still happen to this day lmao.

It’s not even available in my own country to begin with lmao.

As far as I know, it was in a worse state. What Elon did since he took over is basically reducing the running costs heavily among other things.

People tend to forget Twitter never made money so far.

I wonder why.
