Here’s an exhaustive list of modern replacements:

But surely this petition with nearly 400 signatures will convince them there’s a business case for supporting Linux!

Yep, I’m with you. Project Bluefin is exactly what I want from an OS. My previous Linux experiences had all been awful UX, having to diagnose obscure issues and copy pasting decipherable terminal commands. Until Bluefin, nothing ever worked straight out of the box.

Bluefin’s main issue right now is a lack of good documentation. Like you, I’ve tried to get devcontainers working and they just don’t.

As others have said, not with Linux Mint.

However if you were running an atomic distro such as Aurora, Bazzite, Project Bluefin, or Fedora Silverblue you can “rebase” from one to another.

With an atomic distro all the system files are immutable, you can read them but only the OS can change them. As there’s a clear distinction from user files (anything in /var or /home) the OS can simply replace all the system components with a new distro and re-mount your files.

What you’re describing aren’t issues with Wayland.

Your complaints are that you’re using old versions and poorly designed software.

Those aren’t Wayland issues they’re poor management and lack of investment

That’s not semantic versioning…

It could be implemented the same as most email clients do. A simple message “load external content” with an option to always load.

What do you do differently? I’ve been on Bluefin for 2 years but still never bothered with dev containers or anything

It’s hardly diminishing your anonymity. There are plenty of services to create an anonymous email account.

There are quite a few in !buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Didn’t even need remote version control. All it required was essential files version controlled in the local folder.

To me that suggests your view is in the minority.

There was a discussion about “ghost communities” a few days ago:

https://feddit.uk/post/24499702

People are quick to create communities but they sit unused, attract few posts and fewer subscribers. Often the mods move on so even if new posts were to appear they’d be unmoderated.

The simple reason for that is there isn’t enough demand. Lemmy is still small it’s too early to be spinning out ever more narrowed niche communities. If you think content belongs elsewhere then report it to the mods and let them decide. If they see a surge in unwanted Q&A topics then they can amend posting guidelines to direct people elsewhere or to a Q&A thread or something.

Creating a new community for one question is insane.

If there’s a surge in questions not relevant to 90% of readers then sure but Lemmy isn’t there yet

Is there an easy way of seeing the preceding emails in a threaded format?

I read some posted yesterday that were related but it’s damn confusing whether the conversation has been active in between?

You didn’t screw up, you beautifully proved why the CLI is never a simple solution.

This answer is probably the best here. It’s concise and answers your questions in a reasonably unbiased way.

A lot of the other answers are dripping with personal bias and a few verging on conspiracy.

OP wants to store all of their porn collection in RAM

understand what is the common idea about the fact that systemd could be a critical part of Linux which is in the hands of IBM and Microsoft and what this means for the linux community overall.

Either nobody cares, or it’s too much complottistic to be real.

I wasn’t familiar with the word complotism but yes I think this is the case - It’s just an unsubstantiated conspiracy.

Even if were true that Microsoft had taken over systemd by stealth. What is the harm? If they suddenly do something malicious with it then all the distros will just fork systemd and continue without the malicious elements.
