Ever tried asking in Ubuntu forums for help for Mint, Pop or any other derived distribution?

It might be toxic but I understand if people that donate their free time to help others get tired of being asked for help for problems that were caused by the offspring distribution. I did not follow it nowadays but back in the days this was the same with Manjaro which caused issues every now and then by holding back some upgrades.

They changed their slogan a while ago. Guess why…

Do you mean sandboxed?

Unfortunately Mozilla is going the enshittification route more and more. Or good in this case that the Firefox Phone did not take of.

Agreed. My answer was in the assumption that it’s about desktop apps as the OP mentioned Electron.

Go with one of the ready to use systems. Flatpak, Snap, AppImage. Snap is largely Ubuntu Ecosystem, Flatpak is independent. AppImage is an option if you do not need/want a Sandbox.

Stay away from Docker and LXC for this use case (graphical applications), they are much more work to get going.

I have some Sandy Bridge systems here running strong as Linux desktops for light work. You know, these 4-core 3,3GHz processors from - hmm - 2014?

Honestly I doubt it that Deckard will change that much. First the basics must be fixed. My Index is also laying around collecting dust. Worked okay-ish at first but is mostly unusable at the moment.

I use an AMD 7900rx with an AMD 7950x processor since almost a year with Gnome / Wayland on Arch. No problems up to now. Yes, I am a gamer too.

As others said it depends on the distribution you use.

Sponsored links: Mozilla gets money for AD links showing up below the search url on the new tabs page. If you do not disable them (they are on by default).

glibc is a library, gcc is the compiler.

I use Gnome but Cinnamon and Gnome are not that different in that topic IIRC. I have to mount the remote folder via file manager (Nautilus) then I can access the files in Code.

Let’s call it “soonish”. The old proton versions still need 32 bit libs if they do not backport the feature.

Great article. Reminds me of the time when I started using Linux as my main work system, back with kernel 0.99z

It reads “158 Tesla Megapacks”. But yeah, these could contain Duracell :D

But then they would show the general public that Linux is a thing worth mentioning. I doubt that many people outside IT know about CBL Mariner.

… companies?

I always run occ upgrade and occ db:add-missing-indices after a package upgrade, just to be sure that I do not miss any database migrations. Using Archlinux I wrote a pacman hook so that it happens automatically.

You could have a look at Kerberos. That’s what Microsoft took as base for AD afaik.
