Those screenshots look really nice, ngl, hoping this goes through. Edge and Vivaldi have had their own vertical tab implementations for a while now, and there are Firefox forks that show it can be done. No reason for base Firefox not to have it at this point.

While I’m here, Mozilla bring back compact spacing, plz k thx.

Edit: Just tried it, it’s got that nightly jank but it’s promising. I hope Mozilla continues with this. It looks and feels great.

AFAIK it uses certificates for that, kinda like a more aggressive form of Windows’ User Account Control.

I’m skeptical on whether this will be a hit with the audience, but at least they’re releasing something I guess. I remember when Microsoft announced HoloLens, which then fizzled out.

Had COVID in 2022. Lost sense of taste and smell. I can say I didn’t lose it permanently since it has come back. Whether in part or fully, I don’t know. I smelled anything with a strong and recognisable smell to try retraining my nose. Perfume, Vicks, even newspapers.

I didn’t get COVID during the peak in 2020 but my mental health has taken a massive hit. The NHS has taken a massive downturn since the pandemic, and I don’t see it getting any better.

There are Gentoo distros that have binary packages, and Funtoo (a Gentoo-based distro that’s 64-bit only) even suggests using Flatpak for certain software that needs 32-bit resources like Steam. Hell, you can install Flatpak on Gentoo if you want. Gentoo also provided binary packages in the past but only for a few packages (mainly web browsers, but annoyingly not qtwebengine. maybe that’s changed here.)

Gentoo is more about having fine-grained control of your system than anything else nowadays. If that’s what you want, go ahead! For most people, Arch or even something with less control like Ubuntu or Fedora will suffice.

Go tell Fedora that then lol. They want it gone to the point where Nate is telling users who want X to stay away on that post. Xwayland I believe will still be around though.

Hey, don’t sweat it. You gotta use what’s right for you and that’s all that matters. Talking from a dual-booter’s perspective, here.

System76 seems to be well-rated for Linux support, even ones with NVIDIA in them, and Framework maintains a list of Linux distros they support.

AFAIK, Fedora is the only distro that’s getting rid of X11 support, the other distros are still packaging it AFAIK.

AdGuard on iOS has a DNS that blocks ads as well as gambling and porn I believe, it basically piggy-backs off of the VPN feature.

There’s two projects aimed at carrying on Unity in the modern era.

Unity7/Unityd essentially continues support for Unity as it was shipped in Ubuntu and focuses more on that desktop experience, and Lomiri continues what would’ve been Unity 8 and focuses more on a consistent UX across mobile and desktop.

I feel like I’m a chronic distro-hopper sometimes, but no matter how many times I try, I just can’t settle into OpenSUSE for whatever reason. The OBS feels a bit more of a wild west than the AUR.

Been playing some Cyberpunk 2077 and also finished the anime. I Really Want to Stay at Your House has been on repeat lately. Such a great synthpop tune.

I don’t think PeerTube would work here, unless you mean a bot that posts PeerTube stuff from certain channels every so often.

There is a bot around here that converts YouTube links to Piped ones.

Probably meant that Linux wouldn’t be appropriate for whoever’s needs. That can be true for some cases, not really for casual browsing use cases when pretty much 99% of all the major players in the browsing industry maintain a Linux port.

Worth pointing out that Gentoo also maintains a live USB that runs KDE Plasma.

If they want a full-fledged system running Arch, then EndeavourOS might be the best bet. Archinstall is great for quickly installing Arch but there’s still quite a lot of set-up required after that, and for some people, they don’t really want to do that. EndeavourOS is essentially a ready-made Arch set up (or as another person said here, a very opinionated Arch install), and is based on Arch’s repos but has its own extra repo for its own software while Manjaro holds the packages back for two weeks (which creates sync problems with, say, the AUR)

It’s probably to comply with the Digital Markets Act in the EU, which I believe requires services that act as gatekeepers to have some form of interoperability, more than anything really.

I have an iPad that I use Mona with. Fedi web clients tend to suck on iOS. On the desktop I use whatever default web client there is, or Elk in the case of Mastodon.

I don’t really use Lemmy enough to warrant using an app for it.
