Unless I’m missing something, Plasma is the KDE desktop, there isn’t a separate desktop environment just called KDE… In fact, it’s full name is KDE Plasma, it’s just frequently shortened to either KDE or Plasma

Yeah, that is a weakness, but it’s surprisingly not a bad weapon once you get the ammo for it

No, because they’re not apt packages. You can, however, flatpak update them, and you don’t even need sudo since they’re installed in the user context rather than system.

Password recovery is itself a weakness in the system

And I did call myself paranoid for it…

This is why I switched to Bitwarden, will probably move it to self hosted at some point as well

I’ve started putting mine into my Bitwarden vault as well as Google auth, mainly because I’m a bit paranoid I’ll wind up locked out of something by trusting a second factor too much

Had that happen yesterday, though I didn’t fall into the hole, I was blowed up and somehow my stuff all fell into a hole, even though I didn’t think I was all that close to it…

Had just spent the better part of the previous several minutes without it, too, since I got cut off from my first one, so I was like “guess I’m just not getting a support weapon this time…”

It’ll take down bergergers just fine too

I’m not sure where you’re getting the idea that Flatpak aren’t centrally managed…

Sure, but does that also cover accusing someone of inserting their politics into things when they suggest a change? Especially one that has nothing to do with politics at all?

If you mean the breaker incendiary, I’ve found it works fine on bots even if it isn’t the best fit

Looking forward to it… Been meaning to switch to pipewire for a bit hoping it’ll fix some sound issues I’ve been having but never getting around it to, and wanting to try KDE 6+ to see if it improves running stability/crashes (and again, haven’t gotten myself around to doing it myself)

Probably even switch back to Cinnamon for a bit and see if it fixes the issues I was having with it

I know this is for the memes, but seriously, I think this is going to be what the MO said: an orbital interplanetary battle station, which sounds like a great place for some kind of clan/squad system. At least, that’s what I’m hoping for and it seems to be a good fit for that.

If you’ve got an external USB drive bigger than the laptop’s, and are willing to take the time, you could back it up by making a disk image with Clonezilla so you’re sure you have a backout option if you run into too much trouble getting Linux working

For that one, I just did a killbox on 6, had the PO done in like 5 minutes… I think the spewers are pretty much guaranteed on those missions but I can’t be sure since I 1) typically avoid killbox missions, and 2) prefer fighting bots over bugs

I believe it can do CLI, but that’s not always been the case and not a lot of CLI apps adopted it as a result

But for most of what the typical user, or even a lot of what a technical user, needs, it does a good job

Did Matt try putting the regular build on a newish machine? That’s what I did with my current and was struggling until I put the latest kernel on it, should have gone with Edge, but had little trouble after)

I don’t get them putting Mint down either, and I’ve built multiple Gentoo systems… I don’t need an easy distro but still use Mint and like it for what it brings (basically, it’s Green Ubuntu, what Ubuntu was supposed to be before they lost their way)

On your last point, there’s also Flatpak which is available right from the baked in software center… That’s not without its issues too, but they’ve been an overall smooth experience for me so far

What about peanut butter? Or are you more of a salted chocolate kind of person?
