Unfortunately I have the same symptoms you do… On GNOME.

It doesn’t always happen, but every now and then the system will get into a state that suspend doesn’t work.

It means that on systems with apps installed written with libadwaita, will also have libadwaita installed, rather than just GTK. But those apps will look like GNOME apps, which might look out of place on e.g. a Windows or Xfce desktop.

Haha I appreciate the candor!

Seems like a bit of an overreaction. From what I can see, it’s mostly that Ubuntu don’t seem confident enough to ship this without more rigorous testing (i.e. they think it might introduce other/more severe bugs), so they want resume doing that testing before shipping it. Doesn’t really seem harmful to anyone that didn’t explicitly choose to use Ubuntu.

Same. I don’t see why people need to argue about it or make a conscious decision about it anyway.

(My distro determined it was ready to use a while ago, so I’ve been switched over for a long time now. Indeed it’s working fine, and I think I hardly even notice the difference.)

llamafile also builds on that work, I believe (she’s the main contributor): https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile

Like Kooha?

Also, GNOME comes with a pretty great simple screen recorder by default.

Well, you got me to give it a try. The process seemed simple enough, but unfortunately my laptop hangs when I run cargo run --release, so looks like no Zed for me for a while (until someone builds a Flatpak).

If they’re using a CLA, that would only be used if you want them to merge your code into their codebase. If you’re running a fork, that shouldn’t be a problem.

They’re showing the native file picker which using XDG desktop portals.

I’m also fairly sure that the “(but of course there are competing standards)” line referred to Flatpak vs. Snap (vs. AppImage).

It’s open source, so theoretically, yes.

Crossing my fingers that someone will step up to create a Flatpak 🤞

Either that, or it’s a joke.

The sheer audacity and arrogance of giving me something for free and not caring* about me.

* “Not caring” presumably means “not doing something about my pet issue”, but I’m not going to take the clickbait.

Dealing with GNOME users problems all day in the forum, KDE is just better for usability?

It seems not unimaginable that whichever is more popular (/the default) will have more people reporting problems in the forum, regardless of how good it is?

If you want a clean install, go for a carefully curated set of packages, rather than trying to mix and match to create your own selection - that’s bound to result in a Frankenstein installation.

I’m partial to Fedora Silverblue, which is essentially just a single package containing the things you need to have a usable desktop. You can install what you need separately on top of that, but on updates, the whole base gets replaced wholesale - including, which is most relevant to your concerns, removing stuff that is no longer used/needed, rather than having that clog up over time.

Adobe-free PDFs are pretty neat, though Firefox has a great PDF viewer/editor nowadays, which works well on Windows too.

I’m on Fedora Silverblue, which is great now, but when I installed it, I remember thinking that its installer was way less intuitive than Ubuntu’s, and I think it also had fewer features (e.g. discovering existing operating systems and offering to install alongside it, IIRC?). I’ve seen screenshots of a new installer being in development, which looked like an improvement, but still not as smooth an experience as Ubuntu’s.

There’s a convention to append a tilde to files/folders that are backups, so presumably some app at some point made a copy of /usr/local/share/applications, and then the original one got deleted?
