@pheonix but did it really?

Windows 11's hardware requirements sent millions of perfectly functional CPUs to the landfill

ofc for months & years leading up to Oct 2025, lots of pundits were predicting this would happen. however we are now past that date, so when i see peeps still repeating the old prospective claim, my desire for objectivity kicks in. do we have actual factual evidence that the terrible hardware armageddon did happen? 🤔🤷‍♀️

in recent days, in my Lappy's Kinoite [but not also in my Tower's Kinoite], two of my important apps, installed as #flatpaks (coz... #immutable #atomic system), have gone bonkers & are unusable... #KeePassXC & #QDirStat. They used to work fine, but now their GUIs don't correctly paint on the screen, have severe flickering of individual elements, & either don't respond to clicks, or respond incorrectly. I dunno, but suspect it might be related to my Lappy being old, with thus old nvidia graphics [cf; Tower does not use nvidia]. Coz i only use Lappy occasionally [as opposed to Tower = daily], i dunno exactly when they went to hell. none of my attempts to troubleshoot, including allowing more & more app Flatpak Permissions for them, helped. so, this morn, exasperated, i decided to stop fighting them, & instead bypass them. i fired up my ArchLinux #Distrobox, then installed both apps in it, confirmed both work correctly, did the distrobox-export dance, uninstalled both those flatpaks, &... huzzah. I love #FOSS 💟

Hello to other Fedora Kinoite users. Do any of you pls know how to install the #Oxygen #GlobalTheme, or at least these individual parts:
- Application Style
- Window Decorations
- Icons
- Cursors

I use those by choice in my tower's ArchLinux boot, but in my Kinoite boot this theme is absent. My online search attempts for a solution have not helped. Ta 🤞

i have a ginormous collection of browser #bookmarks, going back decades. am now pondering the efficacy, or not, & efficiency, or not, of trying to convert my browsing to a #tag-based paradigm rather than bookmark-based, similar to the success i experienced a year ago when i converted my #Thunderbird email history from complex folder hierarchy, to #tags.

anyone already trod this path, pls?

@timkenhan @vkc well, eg [& i say this as a devoted KDE Plasma Wayland lover, not hater] so far i have not found a #FOSS #GUI way to gain #RemoteAccess with full graphical desktop control to a remote pc running a Wayland session, whereas for an X11 remote it's a doddle. I like using #RustDesk & #AnyDesk, but afaict neither yet has solved this specific problem.

Dear Friends!
The month ends in a few days, and we're only 51% done with donations.
We've also started a fundraiser for the servers — we're already 16% done.
We're asking for your support, which is incredibly helpful and, as always, invaluable.

@gperson@social.linux.pizza How do you do Wayland #remoteaccess?

In my tower's Arch Plasma boot, like you i only use the Wayland session option, ignoring the X11 option.

In my tower's Kinoite Plasma boot, being Fedora there is no X11, only W.

My lappy also runs Kinoite. It is impossible to remote access it using FOSS from my tower, afaik, because neither #RustDesk nor #AnyDesk yet support a Wayland remote pc.

I don't understand why more users are not worried about this.

yesterday i learned of this new, nascent, feature in ​:firefox_nightly:​ -- a context-menu option to add a note to a tab. atm it is very raw, coz whilst adding a note works, as does later editing it, there seems no way to inspect some "index" of notes one has created over time.

@transcendentempress@eldritch.cafe you will get many answers i expect, prolly severely contradictory, but here's an option many prolly won't offer. if you'd like to get a well-setup ​:archlinux:​ that uses only the standard Arch repos, so you can trust there's no funny business going on, & you'd like the convenience of a graphical installer [#Calamares], check out #ezarcher by @eznix

in my #blahajzone #sharkey instance's #antenna i follow numerous hashtags, including lotsa FOSS & ​:linux:​ ones... one of which being #Arch... intending it to be for ArchLinux [which i also follow]. an unexpected side-effect is that this also captures other types of arches, non-penguin ones, like this, with often stunning photos. so... #serendipity! 😆
