I’ve been trying to get into Gemini for a while now. There site aggregators and everything, but I’ve yet to find something personally engaging.

Both GNOME and KDE are first-class DEs in Fedora - stability is a non issue. You can install both if you want and select your choice at the login screen to just switch back and forth. The only thing you might want to keep in mind is that both have their own prpgrams, like file managers for example, so you’ll have two programs for the same task.

Performance is a wash, really, with a halfway modern setup. Your browser will be consuming way more resources than the desktop by far.

Compatibility is also a non issue nowadays, both implement the Freedesktop standard and are fully compatible with each other.

I’m pretty sure that the installer is the same for all major spins.

Hope you have fun with Fedora!

Just checked - the animation scale values on my FP4 are set to 2.0. Does that mean double or half as fast?

Just tried it out. It’s quite obvious what a smaller value does!

I installed Bluefin on my mother’s laptop and it’s like a Chromebook for her. She just wants to surf and consume media, and the OS stays solid and out of they way.

Atomic distros are the biggest advance for Linux in recent years.

Got it, so I should be safe if I print it in PETG. Thanks!

So I got a crazy idea - hear me out - how about we just abolish copyright completely, for everyone?

I mean, it works in China pretty well.

AFAIK chat contents are stored unencrypted on the server.

I gave into the hype and tried out kagi. Have to admit, it really is astonishing how much of the internet you miss out on using Bing or google.

If it’s really worth the amount of money they ask is a different question, but at the moment there isn’t an alternative equivalent.

Just like with USB-C, which the EU regulated and now the iPad and IPhone have.

I might be a grumpy old keyboard enthusiast, but I am amazed by how keyboards just keep getting smaller and smaller.

Just out of interest, what is the benefit of having exactly as many keys as the alphabet?

EDIT: just looked at the keymaps and now I understand that you use key chords to replicate the missing keys. But I still don’t get the benefit of using chording instead of a clearly marked key, for example for /.

My organization has blocked all browsers other than Edge and Chrome - and has also blocked all plugins except for UBlock. For security reasons, of course.

“type notes like a medieval peasant.”

Huh. I thought medieval peasants were usually illiterate? Even less computer literate?

I don’t know how the technical implementation will work, but here is a post I found.

The idea is that you transfer money from the bank to your device, just like withdrawing cash from an ATM. Transferring money from one wallet to another should be able to be offline.

It seems like privacy is a priority, if only to satisfy privacy groups and improve acceptance.

Recently read an ELI5 of the digital euro and was pleasantly surprised. If it works as designed, you can perform offline payments from one device to another, which sounds like your use case. No central servers, no blockchain.

Congratulations on settling on your endgame keyboard!

Once got my Moonlander and put on Dolch XDAs with O-Ring, I called it a day. Every now and then I’ve been musing about an Ergodash, but I just don’t have a good reason to switch.

They were being dicks even in the 80s. I remember the Russian Woodpecker. My father was a amateur radio operator and there were whole frequency bands that were unusable because of that prat-prat-prat-prat.

This riddle has me at a loss and I will not search the internet for passionate athletic girls.

I was pretty surprised by the price Disco Elysium is going for.

Can’t recommended DE enough, and for that price it’s a must buy.

My backlog has reached that point where I need to be a responsible adult and finally beat some games, so this time I’ll pass.

But the PS games like Horizon: Zero Dawn are tempting.
