I agree 100%. Gnome is gorgeous. I switched to KDE because they get gaming related features first, I assume because of the Valve collab.

You won’t lose it. They’ll just turn it off by default for new users.

That’s exactly what’s happening.

I’m using it with CoMaps, freaking great.

I use an M2 Caddy with a 1TB NVME SSD to boot into Aurora Linux on my work laptop.

The laptop keeps it’s Windows license intact and when I need to move to a new laptop, it’s plug and play work.

CUPS works with every printer in my office out of the box.

I am the user with less IT support tickets, I don’t require Windows, Office nor Adobe licenses.

IT is happy, I’m happy. Every day is pure bliss.

Faustina, it’s the FOSS alternative to the Kindle’s default font.

• ImageMagick
• Ghostscript
• Pandoc
• LittleCMS (CMS: Color Management System)
• Wireguard
• Rclone

If it was posted on a FOSS platform like Write.as, Ghost or Wordpress, you would have gotten away with it. Even if you didn’t host it yourself.

AGPL works for me. Good to know.

I just avoid using “source available” and software that has artificially paywalled features, the most common paywalled feature is OIDC because most devs seem to think that it’s a business only feature.

I pay for Home Assist Cloud, because I want to support them, every feature is available if I wanted to self host it. I freaking love them.

The only exception being Bitwarden, although they have paywalled features in their selfhosted builds I don’t know of a better-for-me alternative. I could self-host Vaultwarden, but I pay for their subscription just because I want to support them.

My point is, if it’s justified, I’ll pay. Otherwise, I’ll keep using standalone RSS apps on my devices and just backup my OPML every once in a while.

Is the selfhosted version able to also take email newsletters? I hate them and I’m using https://kill-the-newsletter.com/ to turn them into RSS, but I wish I had an all in one solution.

Also, is it fully FOSS or is it open core?

This is freaking awesome

Great video, probably the best I’ve seen from LTT.

By supporting WebDav your app will instantly gain the possibility to sync with every OS and a gazillion apps. It is not the best protocol, but it’s everywhere and it’s very good when implemented well. For example, CopyParty’s WebDav implementation is blazing fast.

Afterwards, you could enhance the experience by supporting websockets so that contributors can build clients specific to your project. This will take much more time to reach the user with a usable sync app, but can potentially end up in a superior experience.

Can it use files already on my server?

Will it support WebDAV?

Looking great!

I’ve tried several WebDav clients, and I’ve found that the great majority will work great. Their performance will depend on the server. For example, Nextcloud was slow. CopyParty was blazing fast, as if it was a local folder.

You might want to checkout CopyParty too, it’s UX/UI sucks, but you don’t need to see it, since you can use it with almost any client on any platform via any protocol.

AMD has been pure bliss for me. ~3 years ago, when I distrohopped my 3080 TI sucked on every distro.

Steam Machine

If the Steam Machine really takes off, I see way more people moving to Linux on their main rigs and laptops, and in turn making companies stop ignoring it, if it becomes a massive success I imagine:

• Mainstream games like FIFA supporting Linux
• Apps like Affinity Studio being distributed through Steam officially supported via Proton.
• Epic games will be the last company to keep ignoring Linux.
• Valve adopting Waydroid for SteamOS (for Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, etc)
• NVIDIA will redouble their Linux efforts.
• Greatest than ever VR support in Linux

Steam Frame

• Lots of Linux apps will work on Android desktop mode, like LibreOffice, Inkscape, etc.
• Linux phones will receive a lot more maintainers and funding.

Steam Deck

• Android apps on the Deck via Valve’s Waydroid
• Steam Deck 2 on ARM

Other

• New use cases for ARM will motivate RISCV to speed up it’s growth.
• KDE & Arch will receive more funding from Valve
• More contributions to the Kernel
• More Linux developers
• Increased security for Linux
• Flathub will grow

Does it support VJOURNAL?

Does Briar ask for anything ?

AFAIK Proton-GE uses VLC and Valve is from the US, where VLC is considered to breach some codec licenses I believe h264 decoding in particular. But I’m not sure, it’s been a long time since I’ve read about it.
