How is it a scam? They’re offering a service and asking for a price. It’s the same thing everywhere in software, if you want longer support you need to pay up.

That’s already a thing though? It’s up to the applications to implement their shortcuts through xdg-portal.

Bazzite is downstream from fedora, which i’ll remind you is partially handled by red hat, aka a large ass company with “a lot of money to throw into things”. The bazzite developers only handle a smaller portion of the maintenance that distributions require, and really only as much as they want and are confident in handling.

We’re not talking about the same thing. GNOME did get rid of titlebars, most core applications use sidebars and the rest use headerbars - which are better integrated titlebars. I suggest reading the article.

You do know the reason GNOME is pushing CSDs is to get rid of titlebars right?

It’s a none issue these days because toolkits and engines are gonna implement their own decorations anyways and for everyone else there’s libdecor.

Well Mint still uses x11 and a forked mutter from 2020… so yes most likely.

Fedora isn’t quite the same as Ubuntu or RHEL, it’s partly handled by both the community and redhat. See the Fedora Project.

Let’s put things into perspective, it’s a biyearly notification that sustains the entire gnome ecosystem, I’ll remind you that the GNOME foundation pays for the hosting costs, the paperwork and sometimes even development for the GNOME project that includes dozens of apps, libraries and GTK.

This is just the first implementation that will get ironed out in the next few years, like making sure it doesn’t pop up in full screen windows and if you read through the issue there will also be an opt out in the settings.

I looked into it and the reason this is happening is because GNOME sets the notification to critical, and here is a design team member requesting that the notification be made urgent, as for why i can only guess.

It’s easy to test with notify-send test, and yeah GNOME does block notifications while fullscreen applications are open. I wonder how that notification went through, maybe gamescope isn’t properly registering the fullscreen application or it’s x11 wine being the problem.

GNOME lets you block notifications on a per application basis.

That’s tame compared to blizzard tbf. Anyways these projects depend entirely on the reputation of the project and the goodwill of the community, you don’t have to trust someone when their cashflow depends on you liking what they’re making.

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable

Debian Unstable (also known by its codename “Sid”) is not a release, but rather the development version of the Debian distribution containing the latest packages that have been introduced into Debian. It is not a “rolling release”, as no release-like quality assurance and integration testing is done on it.

You need some amount of testing because packages do break, the 2 week testing window on arch is really important in making sure your pc can at least boot.

Debian unstable and Debian testing aren’t meant for daily use, I’m not sure why you’re even bringing them up.

2015… I was there back then, and let me tell you, the distribution landscape is very different. You don’t have to rely on package managers to get your apps anymore because flatpaks and appimages are ubiquitous. Games went from having maybe a 50% chance to run with opengl to 98% running with vulkan ootb. Desktop environments have improved across the board with stuff like wayland and plenty of other good shit. And finally, linux itself has gotten much better hardware support. Seriously, you’re doing yourself and everyone else a disservice by using 2015 as a comparison point.

They also stay pretty current with the kernel and many other packages.

I guess that’s better than nothing, that doesn’t make it a rolling release though. It’s an unstable point release that got half-stuck in the past until they get their cosmic shit together.

Tried the iso in a VM, gnome is still very much on version 42. They obviously abandoned shop to focus all their resources on their shiny new DE.

Hard to recommend a distro that hasn’t seen a new release in over 3 years.

I’ve installed fedora thrice last year, and each time, I’ve had to enable rpm fusion in the terminal and download ffmpeg to get youtube to work. This is something that can’t be fixed afaik, because it’s a copyright issue.
