Recently switched a system from arch to tumbleweed. After another required manual update intervention. So far I quite like it. And if as claimed is stable enough to not have me having to troubleshoot updates. I will likely be switching several more. It’s not quite as on the bleeding edge as arch. But it still has plasma 6.4 and blender 4.4 etc which are the big things for me.

Definitely interested to see what Perry and the gang cook up. Straight up, if it’s something riscV with decent specs and company support behind it. I’m absolutely there for it.

Definitely interested to see their full plan going forward. I never owned a Commodore or an amiga. I had a friend that had a Commodore 64 though. And I always wanted Anamika back in the day just could never afford.

It’s very promising to see all the people old and new he’s got lined up to help.

It may be your setup. I’ve used rustdesk to connect from an Intel with an Nvidia card to an Intel with an AMD card. And from an Intel to An Arm based raspberry pi. From my Android phone to all of them and from them to the Android phone. I’ve never had an issue.

The thing to check out is if you have any firewalls enabled. Much like forwarding ports for remote X sessions. You will have to forward ports for VNC or rust desk

Without X there is no X forwarding. So that’s pretty much it. Honestly it’s been over 20 years since I used a remote x-session much. For modern tasks especially it’s not as functional as even vnc or something like rust desk.

Outside those playing around with retro systems and software locked to them. Or a few isolated archaic business systems. Most will never notice the difference.

Its always rhapsody. Never AUX.

Heh, I’m aware of DT but know nothing of a gun video. But he certainly gave a vibe like the 8 bit guy. So not surprised.

Yeah I think Brody was spot on with his assessment that this is exactly what a fork should be for. And people who want it will be able to use the fork Etc and X work will have its stability for now.

I only have a general perception of what happened with Lunduke. But I don’t know the specifics about what happened etc. Who was 2.0? Lol I wasn’t even aware of that necessarily for there to be a 3.0

Very likely.

Both sides however have behaved badly and both have valid points. Brodie had a decent video on it. Though for me the BS DEI claims are beyond the pale.

The Dev in question was pushing a number of breaking changes. Which yeah, if you’re pulling from git you’re gonna git bugs every once in a while. The problem is releases are so infrequent. People are pulling from the git and trying to use it for daily use. In order to get more up to date features. Some of the free desktop guys got a little too harsh with him. But then he sort of let loose with this whole Dei Etc psychosis. Which did him no favors.

No one should want to take over the world Etc. Everyone should leave everyone to live their lives. Just because we’re peaceful doesn’t mean we’re not armed. We just don’t use the bullets against our neighbors. We reserve them for tankies and fashies with boners for world domination. That’s how you keep other groups from conquering you.

This isn’t rocket surgery it’s basic Anarchy. And it’s really sad how so many replies to my comment just completely lack any self-awareness or irony.

Let me ask you this. Where you live are there any national elected political parties that aren’t largely an embarrassment. That can be expected to do things that benefit yourself and other people over enriching themselves and their friends? Have you never stopped to ask why it’s always that way?

Countries are problematic artificial constructions. That historically have almost always turned against those they govern when the alternative becomes inconvenient. Who ever implied that having a county was a goal or condition of winning? You’re thinking at the wrong level.

You never know when you will find another college student from Finland who happens to be in just the right place at just the right time for their hobby project to blow up.

Right now though it’s something to Marvel at. That something like Linux or Linux Mint even exists and is as usable as it is.

For many it’s just a hobby. But I really think with the way certain things are falling into place. Now would definitely be a good time for a few projects at least to get focused. With RISC V on the horizon, as well as a few basic open source GPU implementations. This would be a perfect time for a BSD or something similar to dive in heavy and establish themselves as a primary player for that sort of hardware.

But a lot of these obvious coders Etc and their projects also help shape future paradigms and push projects forward in their own way. So it’s still exciting to see what comes of them. It’s why all these years later I still check in from time to time on React OS.

Is that why they all imagine external threats to justify their militaries at the cost of the people? Much secure, very safe. Lol you’ve said nothing to disprove my point.

Sometimes violence can be necessary to start. But anything won or held by violence will also be lost by violence. Only that which is held through peace and understanding will ever be secure.

That and it speaks to a lack of maturity and professionalism which doesn’t inspire confidence in the project.

There’s no need to hurt the devs for sure though. They do that well enough on their own.

The problems with the Lemmy developers though is plain on the face of it. Problematic political and social positions. And then demanding that donations must go towards furthering those problematic political and social positions. Because they think they found this one weird trick that nobody can argue with. Their Flagship server is the political server. It’s not lemmy.org after all.

Not to mention that the admins of the server moderate more than most the moderators on the server. There is no free speech. It doesn’t matter how moderate or respectful you are. If you go against the narrative you will be banned.

Development wise they are also vanguard minded. Does the userbase want features the devs aren’t working on? That’s too bad. The devs are going to work on what they want to work on. Whether or not that’s a good thing. Which can sometimes it can be. It also has led to a number of people reluctant to contribute. The childish cliquesh behavior.

You’re not always going to agree with the politics and views of the people who write the software you use. And that is okay. But when they mix the two it’s not wrong to have issues with that.

I’ve already created an account on a piefed instance. Planning for the future. I’m sure Voyager will get it sorted.

Just watched Perry’s video. Best of luck to him. Honestly I’d love to see the brand revived. The X 16 the first new product. Revivals of the old. Maybe some new products based on riscv.
