Streaming, the new cable - but worse.

No. It’s one dude.

I run 24.05 Alpha, I just did “sudo apt install gnome-session”, I can choose between COSMIC and GNOME in the COSMIC greeter every time I login. You can probably do the same with Plasma.

Haven’t needed to login to GNOME since last year though.

All Operating systems get more complex release by release, including the applications and all the different hardware platforms and peripherals. So there will be problems.

The “It just works” catchphrase came from Steve Jobs back in 2003. It didn’t exactly mean things were perfect but that regular people/non experts should not have to struggle with technical mumbo jumbo to use a computer.

It’s way more configurable/flexible than the very rigid GNOME while still being less complex than Plasma, so it falls in a sweet spot between those two extremes.

While I like tinkering, I do want it to be relatively stable, not suprising me with issues when I need it.

I would suggest avoidig pure rolling distros then. Also bear in mind that usually the performance difference between distros is not really big enough to make a difference for most things.

I would consider something like Mint. But what I did on my new laptop was that I installed PopOS 24.04 Alpha and used gnome-session (“sudo apt install gnome-session”) on it, though I’ve switched over to COSMIC now as I’m writing apps for it and it works for my games. It’ll get regular kernel+mesa updates but the base os will remain “LTS stable”.

You could also go the Fedora (KDE or GNOME spins) route, it has a regular update schedule, this might be a great option for you.

They have shape tools on the roadmap for this free image manipulation app, until then we’ll have to use the two-step method of stroking a circular selection or use a more dedicated drawing app.

In any case GIMP 3.0 is a huge rewrite under the hood and seems to be attracting more contributors now, which is a good sign.

but the work hasn’t began for it yet.

This is completely untrue. The work has not only begun but the microphone driver is now working in development. Before it can be enabled they need to tweak various userland parameters and configurations that are different between each mac model.

He didn’t step down from Asahi, just from the Linux kernel maintainers. Another person took over the Linux kernel Maintainer role for Asahi. It gives Hector one thing less to worry about.

EDIT: As of Feb 13th he has resigned from Asahi. No mention of his alter ego Asahi Lina, she’s still listed as a member? As Hector is an incredibly talented and productive individual it’ll be a big blow to the project.

Yeah as far as I understand, it’s available with the xdg-desktop-portal Global Shortcuts for any application to implement. It’s available for both sandboxed and regular applications to implement.

I’ve been using Linux since the nineties and I’ve been through the rolling distros and agree with you that usually it’s not a big hassle, just keep an eye on the process and .pacsave/.pacnew (or .rpm-ditto) - but I just don’t bother at all anymore, I only game and code some Rust and I prefer a LTS distro that keeps the kernel up to date, for me that’s the best of both worlds.

I’d also say that running a major upgrade on my stable distros (both on servers and laptop) takes less than an hour, not a weekend and I never have issues with it. Issues when upgrading either rolling (every update) or LTS releases usually comes from the admin having made incompat/bad changes to the system on their own.

Well, I settled on a Ubuntu derivative so I guess it’s in the family. It could just as easily have been Fedora though.

My laptop gets shut down every night, booted every morning. If I suspend it sometimes spontaneously wakes later, but boot is so fast anyway so it’s fine.

My server gets updated and rebooted weekly. I don’t bother checking CVE bulletins, I just upgrade weekly.

I have Intel iGPU and Nvidia dGPU on my laptop, it works perfectly with Prime offload. I never need to switch, it uses Intel for desktop/VA-API and offload for games. No issues, at all on my distribution.

Anyway, every thread have your kind of unhelpful comment. The thing is some people have Nvidia, some have AMD and AMD also have bugs. Let’s try to make everyone happy, not everyone have piles of money to throw after new hardware.

Yes, Jeremy Brett was the best Holmes ever, his personal issues and depression augmented the role and he sunk so deeply into it that he sometimes referred to Sherlock the character as a real person.

Other portrayals shows healthy detectives full of vitality and charm but Jeremy Brett understood the brilliant but self abusive sometimes obsessive character with many layers to his complicted personality.
