This isn’t SWAT. Or SEK, since this is Germany.

It’s just the usual armed police.

Allegedly, someone (likely a hater of this dev) reported that this dev was going to kill his partner then himself. Armed police turned up.

Guns aren’t the only thing that can cause bodily harm.

There was no arrest.

Idk why this submission is being downvoted, this is some nice work.

The attention to detail in Libadwaita is pretty great

Fedora. Installer is a bit rubbish (being replaced soon) but it’s not difficult.

In terms of speed, stability, and being up-to-date it’s been exceptional IMO.

Pop is the only one that really ever makes any reference to windows in its marketing

Gnome is great. I don’t really see how it’s tablet-like. It’s an extremely keyboard-focused desktop.

It’s a great addition. It’s a surprisingly powerful aspect of gnome that nobody, not even Gnome, ever seem to talk about.

They really should place a text file in that folder to explain how it works (and of course exempt it as being used as a template)

Ubuntu, Mint, and to some extent PopOS are pegged as easy Windows/MacOS alternatives, just like ElementaryOS. They’re still popular.

Both are pretty great on Fedora, although Fedora gives Gnome just a tiny bit more attention, and even specifically align Fedora’s release schedule with Gnome’s.

Gnome will likely be a bit more stable, consistent in UX, and have a workflow that’s very different but pretty amazing when it “clicks”. Gnome has a pretty great Adwaita app ecosystem that matches the system theme very well. Features can take a little while to come to Gnome, because the devs are pretty anal about getting things implemented perfectly before they’re added.

Plasma is more powerful and customisable, most parts of the system, and apps in the KDE app ecosystem, have a load of options you could spend hours going through and customising to your heart’s content. Plasma out of the box pretty much operates like you’d expect a Windows PC to work (sans the enshittification of course lol) . Plasma adds features rapidly, and just works out the kinks while in production, so-to-speak.

Both of them are great, albeit very different, which keeps the Linux desktop interesting and varied IMO. I’d try both for a day or two and then make your choice, because it’s highly subjective.

You can, but it always just feels a little janky and missing a couple of Gnome touches

Fucks around with GPU drivers for some reason

Experiences GPU driver issues

“How can Linux do this to me??”

That’s my point.

If the above user is using an OS that Firefox doesn’t work on, it mustn’t be Linux, and therefore is irrelevant here.

It’s had it for ages and it’s a great feature.

You must’ve gone out of your way to run an obscure OS if you can’t run Firefox on it…

And in choosing a super obscure OS, you probably knew software compatibility would be an issue. In other words, kind of a problem of your own doing, and not related to Linux either.

This honestly seems like one of the only things Snaps could be useful for in the future, considering you can update every component of the system with Snaps in a way that you can’t with Flatpaks.

That said, I still dislike Snaps and I think it would overall be better for Ubuntu to use the standard packaging format that everybody else seems to be converging on; Flatpaks.

Cool, another distro getting better with every passing update.

Yeah, if the dev provided an uninstaller, if that uninstaller really does clean everywhere, and if control panel finds and executes that uninstaller – which in my experience it very often doesn’t.

To me the Flatpak way is better. But yeah, maybe system packages not doing it can be annoying sometimes. I just take issue with you saying it’s not an issue on Windows when it absolutely is, and is IMO worse there.
