I have a bunch of issues(some way smaller and borderline nitpicks) with windows, but I guess there’s some big ones:

1. Linux runs smoothly on older computers, even with KDE which everyone talks about as if it was heavy. Windows is a slug in comparison.

2. Linux is free, truly free. Microsoft can’t beat that.

3. Shit just works (unless you are on Nvidia…), don’t need to install drivers and shit like that.

4. most of the software you don’t get from a random website and they all update at once, rather than having each one update itself and only itself

Issue is that Immutable also conveyed a different type of information. When I first heard of it, I genuinely thought it was something like DeepFreeze for Windows

Btrfs is really cool, just a warning: I had a surprise when I found out the subvolumes make a device more of a hassle to mount externally, you can’t just put it on an external HDD enclosure and expect it to work as painlessly as it is with more “traditional” file systems, I had to mount each subvolume manually as GUI file managers only mounted the root.

It’s not complicated, but more than I’d hoped for.

I don’t really understand that argument, and I want someone to correct me:

If you were keeping your battery at the ideal charge (i.e. 20% to 80%) that means you are really only using 60% of your battery during its lifetime. I’ve been using my phone since July of 2021, always changing it to 100%, preferably only charging when it gets close to 0%. Using AccuBattery I get the battery stats and after 2 years and a half, the battery capacity is at 85%.

I still have 85% of usable battery, this is more than the 60% I’d get if I was using the battery ideally. So I don’t really get this argument about taking care of the battery cause it appears it would take a while before the battery is degraded enough to hold less charge than the recommended rate.

It makes translation more of a headache than it needs to be.

iirc sudo has a bunch of quotes to spit out when an incorrect password is typed. Gentoo exposes that feature with the offensive USE flag.

Argh, why tho?

Like, I get that it is sometimes fun to throw some humor and things like that, but it is just too much trouble. It looks unprofessional and makes translation more of a pain than it needs to be. And that isn’t even opening the can of worms that insults actually are

Edit: alright, I got it. L for me

Hmm, the GUI is reasonable and easy to understand. I wonder if Gamescope can be changed while the game is running, so it could be put in the Quick Access menu

So one big disk for your Steam library and whatever you play might be slow on the first load but then as you play the game files gets promoted to the NVMe cache and perform mostly at NVMe speeds, and your loading screens are much shorter.

I really love/hate how you can immediately understand the practical application of new technologies through the use of games.

I always use Flatpaks when available, I have been using it for about 1~2 years and honestly, I haven’t found any issues that are deal breakers, mostly some missing storage permissions, but KDE makes this easy to deal with. I know some apps have some issues, but the biggest one that I had is that Steam Flatpak still requires Steam-Devices to be installed as a package, but that’s more to do with the way Steam Input works.

The only issue that I have is that uninstalling Flatpaks should present an option to delete the app data.

• Chimera (alpha stage): Chimera uses a novel combination of core tools from FreeBSD, the LLVM toolchain, and the Musl C library

Who was the incredible smart person to name a new distro with a similar name to another, older, Linus distro? ChimeraOS

Doesn’t really fit that well in small areas, and it sorta works in black and white, but not really.

I love Tux, but I wish Linux as a whole would have a logo. Like, you have Windows and Apple logo that represent the OSes in a simple way, it works even if the logo is small. Linux doesn’t have that, so when someone needs a logo they just use the logo of a Linux distro instead, or they show multiple distros, or more likely, they will visually represent some distros, but not all distros they support.

Keep in mind that because MicroOS, Leap Micro and Aeon have icons already set, this means that whoever design the rest will be restricted by the currently existing ones.

Like, both MicroOS and Leap Micro have a horizontal line and a circle in the middle. And Leap Micro basically forces a new design of Leap logo to be almost exactly like the previous one. And Aeon has the middle circle of Micro, but split into two, so Kalpa should also have the split circle somewhere.

That said, I’m not exactly a fan of the MicroOS, Leap Micro and Aeon logos. They are just outlines, and very thin. I understand that logos need to work in monochrome, but they are just… Anorexic. Would prefer if there was an entire rebranding

Sadly I am away from a computer for quite a while so I can’t truly test it, but the first picture shows a nice concept of Brightness X Hue between two colors.

I can’t say I’m an artist, but I did design the current icon of a semi famous Android app, and I was actually using numbers to pick the correct values, as I wished the colors had a somewhat understandable mathematical relationship between each other

I’m not exactly sure if I follow. Like, isn’t brightness already slider when using HSV? Meaning you can just change the brightness without changing Hue or Saturation.

Edit: HSL, not HSV

Isn’t that just a semitransparent layer on top?

You are being rather ambiguous with how your program works, which I understand. But if the primary way of selecting colors is through words then that is big issue that I feel can’t be made to work outside of English.

If the selection is more “traditional”, like a color wheel or whatnot, and the text is just a description (I think coolors does this) then it might be translatable.

Like, the issue with “pink” being “light red” is that you can’t actually select pink and a lighter shade of red if the selection is through text. If the selection isn’t text based then you can just have two colors being “light red” cause it is true anyway

How do you plan to deal with translations? Cause not every descriptive word is translatable, some languages have words to refer to two shades, while another has only one word and both shades are culturally perceived as a single shade.

I honestly don’t remember any app that actually lost their brand or individuality. People complain that MD makes app all look the same, but the only apps that actually implement MD are the ones that don’t have a very strong UX/UI Design in the first place. Spotify, Firefox, Meta Apps and such are never actually going to implement Material Design itself, at most they are going to read the guidelines and go “yeah, that seems fair” and implement their own solutions based on Google’s idea.

I’m mostly using Flatpaks on Tumbleweed, I only use the package manager if I can’t find a Flatpak version. Reason for that is that with Flatpak I can precisely know what I manually installed, as Tumbleweed lacks a proper easy way of getting a list of user installed packages
