This.
I grew up on forums like XDA developers and started posting there when I was like 11. It taught me English, taught me what software freedom is, got me to write my first few lines of code, share software with friends and like-minded people online, and made me who I am today.
We must fight to keep the communities that made us who we are. There is still a way forward.
from the ubuntu discourse post where unity-team was looking for contributors: saw a comment suggesting the the idea of using wayfire as a wayland base, makes sense given how closely it mirrors what compiz did under the hood.
experimenting that this week using gtk4-layer-shell+libadwaita with some blur. first thing I tried: top panel and minimal dash/launcher
I'm impressed with how it looks but I think the team plans to move to lomiri with mir
Love the new Initial Setup Wizard in KDE Plasma Mobile
the welcome to ubuntu app (fork of gnome-initial-setup) has been updated with new illustrations similar to the ones found in ubuntu's desktop installer.
ithink the new illustrations in ubuntu's installer are beautiful!
The question is: Will Wayland, Flatpak, immutability, PipeWire, etc. save the Linux Desktop?
No, they won't, and they never will. What will save (or has saved) the Linux Desktop is a cultural shift in the community to make it robust, secure, inclusive, and accessible. Technical solutions cannot address social problems.
*This* is why we have systemd, Wayland, Flatpak, immutable distros, PipeWire and all these "next-gen" (some current-gen) technologies. It's a legitimate cultural shift to focus on making the Linux Desktop better for the vast majority of users.
You know what else would improve the Linux desktop? Getting rid of toxic users. Adding a code of conduct also drives away a lot of bigots, which is great for people who belong to marginalized groups.
Speaking of reducing toxicity, I realized that my original post caused one toxic user to switch from GNOME to KDE. And that's wonderful news for GNOME! This person has been making fun of GNOME developers (mind you, volunteers) for a while, and then claimed to be a designer. I hope they don't turn KDE into a hellhole.
