Because it’s an OSK, not a touch screen keyboard.

Hopefully someone spends some time developing a proper touch keyboard on GNOME.

It’s not a competition, and insulting developers who donate their time to open-source is counterproductive.

Use whatever you wish.

The piss stain colour palette confirms it.

Ubuntu Core, based on Snaps, is very much not ready for prime time IMO. It’s kind of a mess outside of server use.

Look instead at Fedora Silverblue, Vanilla OS, and for the bleeding edge of immutable systems, GNOME OS.

KDE is about to launch their analogue to GNOME OS relatively shortly, named “Project Banana”. These two are not exactly distros as they do not distribute the kernel, they are simply platforms that layer a bunch of images together to create a stable, reproducible system. There’s also OpenSuSE Aeon, but I don’t like its style of immutability as it’s immutable by rootfs lock-out rather than immutable by image.

As for advice, learn how to use Distrobox / Toolbx containers. If you’re a developer, this is where you will be working.

Immutable Linux is still young, and a lot of software isn’t written with it in mind, so expect some growing pains.

I’m running an immutable distro at the moment (GNOME OS), and I felt no loss of performance due to Flatpaks. Snaps, on the other hand, do have a perceivably longer launch time.

Given that it’s an immutable distro, everything I need needs to be either a Flatpak, a Snap, an Appimage or an extracted tarball, otherwise it runs in a container. The advantage of this system is stability and making the host incorruptible, as well as the ability to very easily roll back updates or failed systemd-sysext layers.

Not everything can run in a Flatpak at the moment, but we’re hoping the evolution in Flatpak, XDG portals as well as encouraging developers to use the available XDG portals can make this a possibility someday. Namely, IDEs don’t run that well in a Flatpak, but GNOME Builder has proven that it’s 100% possible with the currently available XDG portals as well as connecting your IDE or editor to a container.

I’ve actually been discussing the idea of Flatpaks offering “terminal aliases”, similar to what Snaps do, with some people involved in Flatpak. It’s something that could happen in the future, but for now, you can totally create an alias to run a Flatpak from a single word, it’s just a PITA.

Flatpaks aim to be a middle ground between dependency hell and “let’s pull in the universe” bloat.

Applications packaged as Flatpaks can reference runtimes to share “bases” with other applications, and then provide their own libraries if they need anything bespoke on top of that.

Same. Love fireworks. Hate karaoke.

What an odd car!

I find genAI imagery extremely uncanny and creepy, and I can’t condone the usage of a system whose creators yearn for a day where companies won’t have to pay human creators anymore and can simply funnel their funds directly into the pockets of giant corporations instead.

Additionally, commercial-scale generative AI is already destroying the environment in communities across the world due to its power use.

Also plagiarism: https://spectrum.ieee.org/amp/midjourney-copyright-2666872100

Commercial image generation models are trained on real people’s copyrighted works with no regard for paying them for using said work, putting more money in large corporations’ pockets.

It’s not something I can accept nor condone, and I will continue to shame people for facilitating the transfer of wealth and destruction of our environment.

I thought we could do better on Lemmy than to lean on large, polluting technology companies for content, those same companies who have military deals to create civilian-killing robots.

Oh dw you’re good, I couldn’t tell if you were genuinely asking 😅 I don’t know if the cat has an eye missing, but the other one is not visible.

It’s a one-eyed cat looking up with a tilted head

You dropped this, king/queen/highly placed noble: \

No, that’s specifically Dracula, he lives in a manor because he’s Count Dracula :P

Anyone else thinks OP’s account is really sus?
