As a long time GNOME user, I am so glad they decided to go with KDE. GNOME has a trajectory going away from the desktop. KDE Plasma has all the small little tools and utilities you expect in a full desktop environment. I switched to KDE plasma on the announcement of GNOME 40.

I prefer Arch for the bleeding edge packages and AUR. The other thing I like about arch is that the desktop environments or window managers are not heavily modified from the release of the maintainer. So KDE Plasma is like how the maintainer wanted it to work/look.

I wondered how they came to that conclusion, DistroWatch.com still shows it a #9 with no movement up or down.

Here is the original article. And this is the reason:

The beta for F34 was one of the most popular ever, with twice as many systems showing up in my stats as typical.

What about 0AD, I think that open source projects avoid kickstarter so there is no fiduciary component to the project.

I agree as long as its about RPGs.

Elementary OS is really nice, and has SO much potential. But the current release is based off of Ubuntu 18.04 and is a bit behind on SOME software, especially development libs.

PopOS also has some good power management extensions for GNOME along with CPU/battery stuff.

Can’t read the article its beyond a paywall, does anyone have source?

Andre Antunes really does some nice compilations mixing different music together. I wish he would put out some more material of his own.

Yes indeed it is, just picked this up thanks to this post.

This is what I want to know. If it requires co-op team to complete stuff I am out. That’s why I like Borderlands.

I will have to dig mine out, take a picture too.

This is insane:

“For the older Soviet jets, that meant a 57mm mortar shell fired to propel the ejection seat (and pilot) from the aircraft.”

This thread made me rethink my usage of Brave and I am trying to use Firefox again.

I am too much of a procrastinator in my later years to make my own stuff.

Geary looks nice, but is missing features, crashes alot for me and stops syncing. IMHO the only thing that has similar level of functionality is Evolution. Its not pretty and looks like its from 2000, but it works really well. I tend to use Evolution over Thunderbird myself. I tried Kmail, and it took alot to get used to, but I can’t say if its the same level as the others. Evolution does have issues with Google calendars syncing for some reason.

I use the Iosevka Terminal font for my terminals, its thinner than most fonts so you get extra cols.

“Long-serving Gearbox founder and CEO Randy Pitchford will continue to lead the U.S. company following the purchase, and will also become a “significant shareholder” in Embracer.”

Who is Embracer? Is this bad news for Borderlands?

All I can say is from my experience, but ACO is really a RPG with lots of historical context and historical story telling. I love open world 1st or 3rd person RPGs and both of these are open, good story and characters.
