I’ve had some VERY similar issues with SDDM ever since I switched to Fedora 40 Sway. Only my issue is with Qtgraphicaleffects, while quickcontrols seems to load properly. I have the following package: qt5-qtquickcontrols2 installed with dnf and it works. Hope it works for you too. But for me, I’m still having Qtgraphicaleffects issues, to the point I ended up rewriting my sddm theme without Qtgraphicaleffects. It’s crazy, I know, but it’s hard enough to find a decent theme without KDE dependencies as it is (I’m not using KDE Plasma). Finding one without qtgraphicaleffects as well would be even harder.

With that name, I first thought they might be doing something like the chaotic AUR.

Exactly.

I’ll answer what I know:

Yes, you can run Minecraft on Linux. There are both official and unofficial, paid and free versions.

For Java Edition, there’s an official launcher.

For Bedrock, there’s an unofficial bedrock launcher that uses a Google Play account with a Minecraft License.

For Java for free, there are cracked launchers that download as jar files and work great.

For Bedrock for free, I just wouldn’t bother. I’m big into piracy, and even I just gave up and bought a license from Google Play Store. If you want to give it a shot, you can find a launcher that takes x86 apks, but it’s near impossible to find x86 apks that work, and the only ones I found were from super old versions, like pre-1.16.

Wait, so the RISC-V instruction set is open source, but the implementations of these (aka the actual CPUs) may or may not be opensource at discretion of the manufacturers/vendors?

When I started living by myself a while back, I realised how much random housework was being done by my parents. There’s the obvious ones like cooking, shopping and doing the dishes. But there’s also meal planning, cleaning, buying non-obvious essentials like toiletries, and more, which I wouldn’t normally think about.

I feel almost obliged to ask: what are you running on this monster of a setup?

Even if that’s so, I have had many occasions where I thought that for something simple, ChatGPT could do the job. I ended up having a back and forth for hours (last case of that being yesterday) until I got it fixed. For most cases (but not yesterday’s) I found it much faster by looking it up online.

I like using the terminal on video because it scares people

I like him already.

You don’t even have to do that, if you use a flatpak.

Nice! I took the liberty of adding a few more nice-to-haves I found there. I often forget this is a thing that can be changed. Thanks!

I get it. For me, that’s just a nice-to-have.

Fedora with Hyprland, Qtile Wayland and COSMIC. I’m hoping COSMIC will be stable and featureful enough to meet all my needs by then so I can use it full time.

The linux equivalent would probably be using su to switch to an account with sudo access or straight-up to root.

Great! I might switch to 24.11 if COSMIC comes out in time to be released with that.

Ah, I love discovering software that makes using the internet less terrible!

I watched the CinemaWins (on youtube) videos for LOTR and it motivated me to watch them again but with my mind sort of turned off and focused on the present moment, so that, for example, I can focus on the greatness of the Moria scene instead of thinking “here comes the Balrog”. It made me appreciate the greatness, emotion and impact of some scenes again.

What are the advantages and disadvantages compared to using something like CTT’s winutil: https://github.com/christitustech/winutil

As a matter of fact, I have interacted with most devs/teams, and have checked out the source code for many of the projects, yes.

And I know all of them.

Is there any particular reason this is news? I thought that’s how most kernel updates went for the non-LTS releases. Or has something changed? What’s different compared to all other kernel updates in rolling releases?
