Just checked it out and it seems that Playtron is yet another Linux distro for gamers. I just can’t see how this can be monitized. How do they plan to get users away from Windows, SteamOS or even Bazzite?
I’m also on Mastodon

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.
Well, they have to pay licensing fees for the media, pay crazy money for the IT infrastructure, which they have no matter how many downloads.
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!
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.
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.
I’ve settled on Fast Draw. You get to use exactly one widget, but it’s lightweight and lets me launch apps.
One Friday afternoon, Gary called the engineering staff together and announced that he would give them all a raise over the weekend. On Monday, when they returned to work, contractors began raising the building to make room in the basement for a new Digital Equipment Corporation VAX 11/750 computer system. After several weeks, supported by heavy wooden beams and house jacks, the engineers’ desks were five feet higher.
I’d have loved to work for him!
While I can fully understand his pain, I can’t quite follow how adding a paid subscription model will make his life easier (except financially).
Before, he had to deal with entitled asshats, and now he’ll have to deal with asshats feeling even more entitled, because they paid for it.
Beyond the proven addictive effects of handing a dopamine device to your kid, there are legal ramifications many parents aren’t aware of.
WhatsApp and TikTok aren’t just there like air, free for all to consume. They are service providers and both sides are bound by a contract, the EULA. IIRC, WhatsApp recently reduced it minimum age from 16 to 12. So if you install WhatsApp on your 8 year old’s phone, you have broken the contract.
The EU is a relatively large market, and it wouldn’t make economic sense to develop and produce EU-specific devices. I’m pretty sure you’ll also be seeing replaceable batteries.
After I printed a thing I was able to reconnect wireless about five-six hours later.
Thanks for all your suggestions! My working theory is that either the electronics are dying or a connectivity issue, that the device is trying to connect to an update server or whatever.
The former would be a poor show for a device with just 500h of usage, and the latter would be really really bad programming. Either way, it’s a problem with a relatively easy workaround!
I use KoReader, which is available for several different devices. It has a WebDav plugin, which I pointed to my NextCloud instance.
Whenever I encounter something on my tablet, laptop or phone, I upload it to NextCloud and can access it at my leisure.
Who knows, maybe OP is playing competive PVP in the browser on his phone?
