I get where you’re coming from but I wish apps on GNOME could look uniform even without everyone kneeling to libadwaita, and we could just get uniform theming on all DEs.

GNOME.

Specifically their decisions on CSD over SSD (client and server side decorations)

I haven’t really had any other dogmatic issues with projects.

Doesn’t happen to me

Can confirm. I’m basically running the same setup except I’m using a managed Nextcloud instance cuz I currently can’t self host.

I find vertical tabs to be more useful specifically when I have more tabs. Currently using vertical tabs on Vivaldi and I can see 28 and a half tabs without scrolling, which is pretty alright if you’re asking me. And Workspaces are quite helpful for the same reason.

For anyone curious, I currently have 2 workspaces at 8 tabs, 1 at 20, 1 at 25 and one at 82, which comes up to 143 tabs , plus 1 more tab in the default Workspace Vivaldi creates, coming up to 144 tabs.

By “Developer of the Newpipe app”

Hmm…

Unverified

It’s a “No” from me. I’ll stick to Freetube.

For those unaware, being verified means it is packaged by the official developer/team.

Out of interest, which fork are you using? I used to use newpipe-sponsorblock but it was too slow to update and use Tubular now.

Wait, there’s GPL code there as well???

I’d heard of all the others but this ome kinda snuck under the radar with all the larger issues at play here

It didn’t happen with SimpleMobileTools but it might happen with Fossify:

A Custom ROM that replaces the stock apps with this suite would be just a wonderful idea! I’d love to see this happen. If anyone wants to collaborate on such an idea, let me know.

I actually forgot the /s. And I guess I wasn’t clear enough. This is less than a drop in the pool for them. An image build that takes them around 15 mins including setting up the VM for the build, takes me around the same time on a machine with a 6-core Ryzen 5 at 2.375GHz, with 8GB RAM. So because they’re running it on their high end hardware and it still takes that long, they aren’t allocating that many resources to the VM, meaning that it costs them basically nothing.

TLDR: If any of this was a cost that had any significance to their bottom line, it would have been restricted and/or monetised.

I’m actually continuously running github actions that I don’t need running, just because I can, and because it uses up their resources.

That’s something I really like about Ublue: they use Github actions, so if you build a custom image, you’re using Github’s processing power for it. So, go do that. Make hundreds. Bleed Microsoft dry.

Yup. I’ve done it myself when I switched to Gitlab. It’s really straightforward.

Not actually open source but ok.

Currently still in history. Issue was closed an hour ago so u don’t have long. Hurry

I so hope they get broken down, AND have to pay some outrageous fines before that, AND have to comply to some insane rules that restrict them hard. And then make the rules apply to all of Big Tech: Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, make them all suffer as they should, after the damage they’ve caused.

Fuck Google, man. Split apks make it super difficult to findz extract and install modded apps.

Wait what? Really? That’s terrible. Just… why?

True, but I think typically the Playstore version isn’t always from the official maintainers and I’d consider it less trustworthy, even if free (unless the devs link to the playstore page on github/gitlab/codeberg/whatever).

The thing is, winutil is useful because Windows requires fixing. Linux doesn’t require fixing because it isn’t broken (except Nvidia stuff, or for getting actually good battery life on a Laptop)

I know 2 people have already said it, but NixOS is in very desparate need of documentation. It’s so immensely difficult and at a certain point the learning curve feels more like a vertical line than a curve, so that’s my top pick.

Other than that, I recently tried a project called Bluebuild and its docs are very incomplete (also the project doesn’t work for me but that’s another topic).

In fact, the topics of packaging software and creating (custom) live isos are both very underdocumented in general.

So packaging for deb and rpm is also quite difficult to find good and easy to follow docs and guides for.
