Motorola is supposed to be doing Graphene supported phones soon, whether thats from the factory or with an official installer I am not sure

I built a systemd-sysext with nmap, screen, iperf etc based on https://github.com/fedora-sysexts/fedora

Definitely going to get the full width touchpad for my F16, I dont think my wife needs to upgrade her F13 just yet tho

Also tempted by the occulink kit, especially since I could use my current 7700S with it

but I’ve been standardising my library on AV1

Is there a reason for not being centrally distributed like on flathub and fdroid?

more in-between like Waterfox

is that one still owned by an advertising company?

odds are pretty good these days, and if you’re worried dont switch now, but next time you buy hardware buy it with the intention that you may switch and opt for some Linux friendly hardware, which is pretty simple - avoid nvidia and realtek (avoid realtek on windows too if I’m being honest), make sure things are compatible with standards.

why the hell aren’t people running this shit in isolated containers?

I get the impression a lot of people think that framework are a lot bigger than they actually are, in reality they are not much more than a start up

All I really need is calls, sms, a solid browser and some more robost messaging apps like signal and matrix/element - I’m a prime candidate for PostmarketOS if we ever get a stable piece of hardware. I have an old oneplus 6 that I’ve played with it on, its so close. If a flip phone could master that today, sure

I do use tap to pay, but meh I dont think I would miss it and android auto in my car could easily just be a bluetooth audio connection

I’m not sure why google is over engineering this, proper mainline distros have this solved since forever. Let the community setup trusted repos with gpg keys, then let me trust the repos. If Fdroid trusts the package and I trust Fdroid, who should care?

don’t stream, download your porn from usenet like a civilised person

Here in Australia, they are almost gone. Disney doesn’t release anymore and other studios only release the biggest of titles, smaller movies get less and less releases. Some TV shows only get DVD. Its got me importing discs for things I really want and importing a lot of stuff from the high seas

you don’t need my permission mate, I honestly don’t know why I have earned your derision??

I thought so, and its not something Ublue has started using yet to my knowledge - there’s some good potential that a lot of stuff they add could just become a set of extensions you can plug in like Lego bricks

I’ve never had issues with Discover on Fedora KDE and then even when I moved to Kinoite. I didnt have any issues using it on my Bazzite machine. I wanted it back, I also wanted to see if it was something I could do with a SysExt, which as I said is something I’m excited about, as I have started using them to add stuff on my Kinoite work machine.

It doesn’t take Bazaar away, it just puts the items back for anyone who wants it. Spoiled for choice

Yes I use Kinoite as my work machine and I’ve used Tim Ravier’s sysext repo for adding libvirtd, distrobox, wireshark and vscode to that machine. I also authored my own that adds nmap, iperf, telnet, screen and a few other command line tools I make use of at work. I find this easier than juggling toolboxes for it

I also said ublue is free to do what they want, why are you attacking me for suggesting I want to put something back the way it was? I never asked for your attention, I’m not pestering the developers about it, instead I attempted to author a fix for anyone who also is not a fan of the change.

Yes, I dont like a core system tool not being part of my desktop, I dont want my updates to fire via a timer, and I have updated my ostree via discover on my bazzite box. I understand a lot of your target audience does want those things, an appliance type experience - I even suggested 2 posts up that perhaps bazzite was no longer for me as the target audience.

I appologise for drawing your ire

edit: FYI I’m not some bad faith poster, having defended bazaar - Also my particular bazzite box has been rebased between Fedora and Aurora, probably accumulated some artifacts in the process, which may explain why my discover had not been previously hobbled. Have a good night

the ublue project / bazzite decided to make their own flatpak first app store called Bazaar. Fair enough its their distro. However they created it with GTK4/Adwaita libraries, so its a Gnome native app and looks completely ugly on a KDE Plasma desktop. Also as a flatpak first app store it doesn’t update anything else on your machine like what discover is capable of (cant update ostree, knew stuff etc). This means you have to use the ujust terminal app to access updates, which I dont agree with.

I think technically you could layer it back in with rpm-ostree install kdediscover - however this pulls back a couple of hundred meg of plasma dependencies, which if you’re not aware, when you update your system would be redownloaded and reinstalled with each new ostree snapshot, slowing down the update process even further. I I tried doing it as a sysext (myrepo) but it keeps segfaulting and I havent worked out the issue edit: I have fixed the segfault issue and readded the ostree backend. Sysexts are new experienmental alternative to package layering which hold a lot of potential (check out tim ravier’s development of them here https://travier.github.io/fedora-sysexts/)

I couldnt see one - I also dont want to layer it, because it will pull in a couple of hundred megs of kde dependencies every time you update. I tried doing it as a sysext (myrepo) but it keeps segfaulting and I havent worked out the issue
