@kingtor well fwiw, i'm a "fediverse type", & i continue using my desktop Linux with daily delight. i laugh about, often at, the many panic merchants volubly screaming to abandon ship now. so much operatic hysteria.

@rob ha. i can see your point. i have a slight twist though on your theory. in my case, i did not reach a point recently of choosing , but instead decided that i am now too old fat & lazy to still "enjoy" needing to do the various little bits & pieces to keep my all ticketyboo, so decided to go #immutable #atomic for a quieter life. hence, lappy now is single-boot Kinoite, & tower is now triple-boot Kinoite / ArchLinux / SparkyLinux. so my details are different, but i think i do get the essence of your sentiment, & agree. fwiw.

@pheonix but did it really?

Windows 11's hardware requirements sent millions of perfectly functional CPUs to the landfill

ofc for months & years leading up to Oct 2025, lots of pundits were predicting this would happen. however we are now past that date, so when i see peeps still repeating the old prospective claim, my desire for objectivity kicks in. do we have actual factual evidence that the terrible hardware armageddon did happen? 🤔🤷‍♀️

You’ve just been upgraded to Firefox Nightly 148!

Every 4 to 5 weeks, a new major version of Firefox is released and as a result, the Nightly version increases as well.

This is a good time to thank you for helping us make Firefox better and to give you some pointers to documentation, communication channels and news sites related to Nightly that may be of interest to you.

in recent days, in my Lappy's Kinoite [but not also in my Tower's Kinoite], two of my important apps, installed as #flatpaks (coz... #immutable #atomic system), have gone bonkers & are unusable... #KeePassXC & #QDirStat. They used to work fine, but now their GUIs don't correctly paint on the screen, have severe flickering of individual elements, & either don't respond to clicks, or respond incorrectly. I dunno, but suspect it might be related to my Lappy being old, with thus old nvidia graphics [cf; Tower does not use nvidia]. Coz i only use Lappy occasionally [as opposed to Tower = daily], i dunno exactly when they went to hell. none of my attempts to troubleshoot, including allowing more & more app Flatpak Permissions for them, helped. so, this morn, exasperated, i decided to stop fighting them, & instead bypass them. i fired up my ArchLinux #Distrobox, then installed both apps in it, confirmed both work correctly, did the distrobox-export dance, uninstalled both those flatpaks, &... huzzah. I love #FOSS 💟

Hello to other Fedora Kinoite users. Do any of you pls know how to install the #Oxygen #GlobalTheme, or at least these individual parts:
- Application Style
- Window Decorations
- Icons
- Cursors

I use those by choice in my tower's ArchLinux boot, but in my Kinoite boot this theme is absent. My online search attempts for a solution have not helped. Ta 🤞

i have a ginormous collection of browser #bookmarks, going back decades. am now pondering the efficacy, or not, & efficiency, or not, of trying to convert my browsing to a #tag-based paradigm rather than bookmark-based, similar to the success i experienced a year ago when i converted my #Thunderbird email history from complex folder hierarchy, to #tags.

anyone already trod this path, pls?

@timkenhan @vkc well, eg [& i say this as a devoted KDE Plasma Wayland lover, not hater] so far i have not found a #FOSS #GUI way to gain #RemoteAccess with full graphical desktop control to a remote pc running a Wayland session, whereas for an X11 remote it's a doddle. I like using #RustDesk & #AnyDesk, but afaict neither yet has solved this specific problem.

@gperson How do you do Wayland #remoteaccess?

In my tower's Arch Plasma boot, like you i only use the Wayland session option, ignoring the X11 option.

In my tower's Kinoite Plasma boot, being Fedora there is no X11, only W.

My lappy also runs Kinoite. It is impossible to remote access it using FOSS from my tower, afaik, because neither #RustDesk nor #AnyDesk yet support a Wayland remote pc.

I don't understand why more users are not worried about this.

@nicemicro have you looked at the #firefoxsecondsidebar project? once you set it up you have a magnificent second sidebar [more powerful than those in vivaldi, floorp] with excellent granular settings, in which you can place #WebPanels of any site, & many AddOns, of your choice, thence [should you choose to configure it this way], easily do your
