@EF I haven't checked the memory stats, as I was trying this out in vm instead of an actual device but my experience was pretty good no jittery ui and no random crashes.
@mirkobrombin hey, looks supa nice, hate to ask this and get trolled to the moon - can you also share a couple of the screenshots in maybe light mode instead? 😏
@Valentin fair enough, don't wanna burden you more - thanks again!
@Valentin after seeing your post, I thought I'd give a look at the current state of gnome os and see how different it is from its ostree days along with the new installation approach.
install: the installation was stupid quick, like it did it in seconds!
updatectl: I'm really liking this simplicity, especially the option to enable certain features: in my case snapd and apparmor.
apologies, if this already blogged - but would love to read more about all the new happenings in gnome os!
@[email protected] my first phone was a lumia 735 years ago, it really was ahead with the few quirks and ui/ux it offered when compared to android/ios during that time period
@TheEvilSkeleton this was really well structured and informative!
qq: how long does it usually take you to write blogs with this much level of polish?
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!
TheEvilSkeleton 🇮🇳 🏳️⚧️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.
