But it starts a good conversation. It’s good to get a handle on other peoples experiences.

You can install Octopi or Pamac which both handle the standard repositories and the aur. I don’t know if they handle flatpak or snap though.

1. Window rules are working fine here but I only have a couple of simple ones. I seem to recall a problem with a lot of rules, like 50 or 60 but I can’t remember what the problem was.

2. If you have exactly the same image, then as far as I can tell, the only thing different is the hardware however unlikely it seems and it does seem unlikely.

I consider myself a prime candidate for bugs as I use quite a few widgets including third party ones and compile desktop effects from source but apart from afore-mentioned, nada. I sometimes wonder if it’s because I carefully choose my hardware to be Linux compatible even if it means not buying the latest and greatest. Maybe I’m just lucky 😬

Experienced none of that with openSUSE Tumbleweed or EndeavourOS. The only bug I have is a panel mis-sized when first logging in but that seems to be fixed in 6.3.

Hacking from a viewpoint of testing: How to break web software. It’s quite old but the techniques are still valid.

I used Tumbleweed for eight years with no problems. I only moved to EndeavourOS because Suse bared their corporate teeth and I got fed up being a couple of generations behind on the Nvidia drivers. EndeavourOS is also good.

Remembers Tumbleweed fondly

They don’t just decide to remove a driver on a whim, there’s a whole process which involves reaching out to the original maintainers and seeing if anyone else wants to take it on among other things. Internet search is so poor these days, I can’t find the information on it.

Curry radiates comfy

As the kernel moves on changes could be introduced that make them difficult to compile with the new kernel. Unmaintained doesn’t only mean not adding new features, it means keeping up with the rest of the code.

The definitive guide to selinux.

When I switched, about 23 years ago, I missed Moray - the modeller for POVRay.

I thought it was open but I could be wrong looking at their website it says the code is available on github

Onlyoffice is said to have better compatibility with MS Office so that may be worth a try.

I’m fetching the camera!

I wouldn’t like that, no sir, I wouldn’t like that at all!

Too many useful tools on the terminal.

“Think about 720p” or “Also think about 720p” principle.

The problem with that is if only a few people have 720p then the majority suffer for no real reason. The only way to know for sure is hardware surveys. That said, Linux is known for running on older hardware so maybe it should be taken into consideration. The only way to know for sure is hardware surveys, everything else is assumption.

If, like KDE’s, they are opt in, anonymous, allow you to choose how much information to share, and can’t track an individual over time then I think they are a positive and an easy way to contribute back to a project. If they are like the Manjaro proposal, which is none of those things, then they are a negative and should be opted out of.

I like your rubber duck

Developers will develop so it is right for the majority of their users and I guess they are aiming at 1080p which is mid-range at the moment. This is why hardware stats are important. If they’re anonymous then what’s the problem with them?

Your English is fine.
