Heh that is annoying, then I learned about alt-rmb. They really do need a way to allow for larger grab areas easily, if not already possible.

I found this solution to border theme for increased grab area and will try it as well:

I feel the same, though having more options for lightweight DEs is better. I came from gnome 2 after Ubuntu switched to Unity DE back in the day. Xubuntu ran nice on all of my kids low power devices and it became my desktop as well ever since. It’s just as happy on my work laptop as well as Ryzen thread ripper with 3 rtx4000s and 3 magewell hdmi capture cards we use for visualization at work too. It really feels like a solid DE with less fuss than most.

Me boarding a 777 on Friday after a very long week of business travel, a true story:

Pilot: “Looks like we’ll get to San Jose 30 minutes ahead of schedule”

10 minutes later…

Pilot: “Just waiting for some paperwork before we can leave the terminal”

30 minutes later…

Pilot: “Sorry we can’t leave until the maintenance records are updated”.

30 minutes later…

Pilot: “We’re still waiting for sign-off”

5 minutes later…

Pilot: “By law, we have to allow passengers off the plane as it’s been over an hour at the terminal”

I de-board looking for any other flight, but it turns out there are no seats on any other plane in this airport…

Terminal attendant: “They have the paperwork now you can re-board if you wish”

What would you do?

Me: YOLO

Not unlike the species of it’s creators, go figure.

I guess this means that not having to rely on dkms for hardware means being able to run the latest kernels without the hardware being disabled.

Look up Dr. Ronald L Mallett. This astrophysicist has some interesting takes on practical time travel. There’s a great interview with him by Fraser Cain of Universe Today.

Pretty sure there is no absolute universal position, everything in the universe being in motion relative to everything else as the universe expands, but that does not disprove your point anyways.

The only one that matters right now is the one that gets put on next.

For all the people missing the point of this comic particularly in the U.S.: Look at who has held political and financial power for the last two hundred years, including this one. There are lots of pictures and paintings of people. Do you notice anything in common between nearly all of them besides having wealth and power? Think about the position of everyone else not fitting that description and tell us all again why you personally feel attacked and why this comic is not relevant.

just because they started packaging wine with their app

Even if that’s all they did, that is more than anyone else is doing. What they really did was make nearly every game they sell easily playable without requiring you to use Windows. As byproduct, DXVK (part of Valve’s Proton) provides greater compatibility and performance for Windows users as well (Intel ARC driver and DX9 game support for example). They have salaried employees working exclusively on making this work and their development is open source for anyone to use modify and share. Epic or any other store front could freely take advantage of this work and benefit why don’t they do that instead of whining?

thank you for easing my personal self-loathing a bit!

There was mention in December that Collabora are working on supporting Maxwell (Geforce 700 series) based cards.

If their last major release was in 2021, they would have been too early for basing off the 22.04 LTS release of Ubuntu. Zorin 17 now appears to be based on 22.04 according to the /dists/jammy folder on the .iso image. The next Ubuntu LTS release is just a few months away, seems like rather bad timing for users. Even though Zorin 17 based on 22.04 will have standard support for 3 more years, it will put a bit more pressure on users to upgrade quickly if Zorin follows this schedule.

I came for the pics and stayed for the story!

AMD seems to be eating their lunch in small computers for consumers with their APUs in the Steamdeck and the more than a half dozen like handhelds, mini-pcs, etc. I’m sure intel will hang onto small embedded devices for industrial applications for some time but it’s puzzling that they would just drop RISCV which seems poised to proliferate in this sector as well. It could just be that intel seeing that manufacture in China is and will continue to be very tricky has to narrow focus while they move their manufacture closer to home.
