Know what else supports KVM as a backend? virt-manager

If you want to JUST game, SteamOS is great, like for a handheld, a living room gaming PC, etc.

If you want to do software dev, look elsewhere like Nobara, CachyOS, etc.

Luckily there is no way to install it either.

I mean you can unlock Linux terminal and application access on Chromebooks. I have installed GIMP and Krita on Chromebooks for students that were in art classes.

Does it kind of suck? Yeah.

Anything with Cinnamon Desktop or KDE Plasma is going to be the most ‘Windows-like’ in how the UI works.

If they’re coming from Windows, but they prefer macOS-like interfaces, GNOME or COSMIC fit that bill.

It doesn’t matter what distro you select, for the most part, as Linux is Linux. The only differences are immutable or not, desktop environment, and package management type, for the most part.

That said, Mint, an Ubuntu flavor, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE…all good options.

Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS. The packages aren’t THAT out of date. Most people don’t give a shit if they’re running the bleeding edge of kernels or what version of mesa is installed. If it works with their hardware, they’re good.

Until Plebbit fixes how god awful slow it is, I won’t be interested in it. Lemmy is decentralized enough for me.

I’m curious… What problems are you referring to?

XWayland is the compatibility layer in Wayland to run X11 applications within Wayland. I’ve never had an issue with it on any application that still used X11 and it’s pre-installed, so you don’t have to do anything, if you’re running Wayland.

Honestly for the best. X11 was great for what it was, but Wayland is the future. XWayland covers X11 apps that haven’t been ported yet.

Now I just wish Cinnamon would hurry up and move to fully default Wayland.

I don’t think they’re removing XWayland. Just the X11 session option. You can still run legacy X11 apps in XWayland AFAIK.

Why would a USB accessory need PoE?

Zigbee 4 support lacking in it is disappointing.

My Roborock is genuinely an important cleaning tool for keeping my messy house with three kids clean.

Same. I always try it out and run into some critical bug causing me to abandon it.

My Linux Mint install with Cinnamon “just works”, so I’ve been sticking with that and hoping Wayland support goes stable soon, because I hate X Server.

It’s greed. Not laziness.

Things like this are why I use AMD.

If you add --delete-before, it absolutely can delete stuff.

There are plenty of ARM on PC examples and there will always be an alternative option that is open there. It’s too entrenched.

We need to free mobile devices with functional distros like mobian/postmarketos that are fully functional.

I know Plex is a business that has to make money, but if I hadn’t bought a lifetime pass for $50 a decade ago, I’d have dropped them at this point.

Both are valid commands.

adb install is for individual apk files.

adb sideload is for compressed zip files to load images and system files that usually include apps.

But yes, I did conflate the two and forgot the command syntax.

Either way, I don’t fully understand the hate for the word “sideload”. I don’t find it has a negative implication, but I can see how some other people might.

Installing apps from Aurora, F-Droid, etc. are not “sideloading”, though, and that does bug me how people conflate the two like the Play Store is the only valid way of installing apps on your phone. If you’re installing them from within an environment on your phone, it shouldn’t be called that. Only when you’re loading apps from a PC via adb should it be called “sideloading”.
