Don’t think half the comments understand what the Chromecast is…

Interested in finding out more about fcast now though.

Right?

I really appreciate this change. Prior to it was always a struggle to deploy servers successfully. You’d reboot and your database would be on the wrong interface and you could even remote in because the management interface was suddenly on a firewalled external only network. Ask me how I know.

With virtualization and containers this just got more complicated. I would constantly have to rewrite kvm entire configs because I’d drop a new nic in the machine. A nightmare.

Sure, it’s gibberish for the desktop user but you can just use the UI and ignore the internal name. Not even sure the last time I saw it on my laptop. So no big deal.

I’ve had to entirely wipe my kde config folder enough times because I dragged a widget and created phantom toolbars taking up space I couldn’t interact with or completely broken toolbars that I just don’t have the patience to use it anymore.

Don’t know who this person is but I have a hard time taking him seriously calling people children while reading out the emails like I high schooler dishing gossip and dismissing transphobic moderators as a “whoops”

Seen a small company share a nextcloud server running on a old VMware cluster with 2 cores and like 8g of ram allocated… What are people doing with their nextcloud servers?

Fwiw, this is not an endorsement of Windows. I strongly believe if most people spent half the time they spent fighting Windows learning Linux they’d never go back.

It’s a pretty mixed bag honestly. Sure there are some apps that we get in a mammoth poorly made appimage we’d probably have to have run in wine before or some terrifying statically compiled program embedded in a run script and that’s probably a win.

The trade-off is every developer being their own distro maintainer, 100s of gigs of duplicate dependencies, broken containers with missing libraries, leaky requirements on the underlying system, and everyone needs to be a security expert to understand all the options in flatseal to expose the right features.

Also, instead of one distro source, I’ve got at least 3 and I’ve in the last week had to install programs from multiple sources trying to get a functioning version. This feels like the norm rather than an exception.

Also this week had an app image broken by a requirement on a removed system library outside the app and a flatpak missing a key library forcing me to dig up an old .deb version. The later I lost like 6hrs on because clearly libusb was installed on the system but I didn’t realize I’d installed the flatpak and in wasn’t in the container. Such fun.

So it’s not really all sunshine and rainbows yet.

It was the baseline so… Yes?

The feature completion was defined as running most normal applications and by the people working on Wayland not me some random guy on the Internet.

Because no one is going to use Wayland, if they can’t… use it

That’s technically true but not the whole picture since it was missing huge (some would say basic) features I wouldn’t say it was really “released”

It was quite a while after that they called it and it’s libraries feature of complete. With wm DE integration and multiple monitors coming a while after that, it’s only been in the last maybe 5 years it was really usable? A solid option for a lot of people for maybe half that?

That makes it pretty dang new.

You make a good point but I think farmers get to see this thing called the sun. I hear it’s pretty neat but I wouldn’t know myself.

I feel like OP has his own definition for “tbh” in this comic,

tbh

Reduces bugs 🤣

Adding 10 bugs to your apps for every bug removed from the display manager

Yeah I mean it’s taking 500G of my terrabyte ssd. What else was I going to use that for? Installing games off steam? Two node modules folders?
