On some systems neofetch would actually run quite slow. Even on my fast system it would occasionally take a second because it hung on one step.

NixOS was troubleshoot central for me. Not all programs behaved as expected with Nix’s unique design.

Yes, but the kernel is only one part of the operating system. Desktop Linux and Android have different userlands and APIs.

Though as you mention, there are projects that bridge the gaps between the two platforms.

It’s a good question. Really the only thing that would have been completely broken if moving to a new version are game mods, which are written in Java. Everything else could be converted to work with a new C++ based version.

Though doing so would result in a lot of new bugs, systems would have different behavior leading to broken mob farms and redstone. I think this would be the main reason. Keep Java around until the Bedrock Edition could handle these worlds with minimal issues.

However, Bedrock involved into a very corporate product. Microtransactions, ads, etc. Java Edition players would be angry if they were forced to move to this version.

Another factor is that Microsoft really doesn’t support Linux and MacOS systems. They likely didn’t want to add support for them in Bedrock Edition.

I looked into this a bit more. It turns out that Metadata Cleaner was marked end of life by the owner because it’s no longer being maintained. This is different from the more common scenario where an app is using an end of life runtime. I guess Discover decides to remove apps that explicitly marked as end of life.

Still, it’s a poor UX to not give the user the choice. You may be able to work around the issue by pinning Metadata Cleaner, either using the CLI or Warehouse, an app to graphically manage flatpaks.

There’s now a fix: https://www.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/1jg2i5n/gimp_3_rev1_update_for_windows/

The authors found and reported vulnerabilities in Pagure and Open Build Service. These vulnerabilities have since been fixed.

You shouldn’t need to do any configuration to get those buttons working, unless you changed their purpose in the past.

Try using Piper (ideally from your distro) to double check the buttons are configured correctly.

Another cause of the buttons not working is if you I use something like imwheel, which is an X utility to change scroll speed. Similar tools may also cause issues.

You don’t need to do anything, these issues have already been fixed.

I did a bit more research into this and it seems this conspiracy is largely spearheaded by Kiwifarms, so I do feel bad by bringing it up.

AirPods work great on Android. Just make sure you have them configured how you want (like the touch and squeeze actions) because you can’t change them.

An alternative to AirDrop is LocalSend, but it has a massive asterisk: you must be on the same WiFi network. But I think you can start a hotspot on your phone and connect your other device to that and it should work.

Other than that, I’m not sure I’m qualified to answer for other stuff. In general I stick to cross platform apps and in general find continuity features more annoying than helpful.

They did the blue tint because apparently it feels more modern.

I’m not a fan. I prefer the previous more neutral tone.

I also don’t think it’s a good idea to make the dark theme, which is more likely to be used at night, emit more blue light.

There era of the blue background tint in dark mode has come.

For the stuff that supports non-destructive editing, yes. It also allows you to easily update the transformation.

Unfortunately not everything supports it yet. Notably, resizing and rotating do not. Hopefully it will be added soon.

Safari has PWAs. They call it “Add to Dock”. Works well in my experience.

I haven’t noticed any major issues with Webkit on my Mac, only that Safari’s UI sucks.

Unfortunately Gnome Web also inherits most of Safari’s bad UI design. Really the only thing I want from Gnome Web (apart from performance improvements) is to have a bookmarks bars like Chromium and Firefox. Having to go into the bookmarks side bar is a major slowdown. I’ve had to work around it by using a keyboard shortcut for a new tab, typing in the bookmark name, then using arrow keys to navigate to it.

What are its benefits? It basically just feels like Safari, unfortunately including the things about Safari I don’t like.

Main thing I noticed is that it has the built in tracker (and I think ad?) blocking. I use AdGuard on Safari, but sometimes it doesn’t work correctly because AdGuard stopped running in the background.

Huh, he mains NixOS. Always a bit funny to see someone daily driving a distro different than what they professionally work on.

I thought I recognized that blog, I remember reading his blog TPM+FDE for NixOS back when I was trying NixOS.
