Many lessons were learned from the Hurd that has impacted ALL microkernel kernel and userspace designs, but it is ancient by today’s standards.
Its more accurate to say they were “rewriting” MINIX, but I don’t like the word “rewriting” as all of these systems are unique in their own way.
Kinda. Redox uses a microkernel architecture and tries to keep only the most important functionality in ring 0 while they push everything else in userspace. It’s great.
Don’t forget Retroarch too!
Most excellent. I’m glad to see things are working out, and that you’ve found something that works well. I hope your experience is as beautiful as mine was - mine pushed me to pursue computer science and programming.
I recommend at this point learning Flatpak and exploring Flathub for your favorite apps. Flatpak is treated as a first-class citizen on Fedora, so its my go-to recommendation. Should be super easy. Here are the instructions: https://flathub.org/setup/Fedora
Have fun!
This is the one. One of my favorite and necessary extensions for me
This was in development but its about a year stale: https://gitlab.com/cubocore/paper/paperde
I love Joplin. So muchhh
I love the := assignment operator lmao
I love you Wine, you’re my favorite
Gotta celebrate the little victories
I read so much bad news every day now, and then something nice like this pops up and I think “well gee maybe things aren’t so awful”
This ad blocking tug-of-war game is absolutely fascinating in so many ways. One cannot help but be entertained by the two sets of opposing engineers fighting each other for technological dominance
I love it
Fluent Reader is wonderful for my Linux tablet. It was the only one I could truly get working the way I wanted. There are also multiple methods to render the feeds, which can be needed depending on the source
Yes, because it is permissively open source, not only are these companies free to build what they want - we are entitled to that same right. We therefore created LineageOS and GrapheneOS, and its really great.
There’s also a lot of motivated people getting regular Linux distributions running on mobile devices too, so we have that as well
I like VSCode because I can run it in a development container and because its the only FOSS IDE with an extension for IEC 61131-3 ST that I am aware of
Yes! The automatic updates are great for me and my family’s machines. System and Flatpak upgrades are done automatically, I never ever think of them.
Universal Blue has it too. They also have the “just” wrapper for not just system and flatpak, but containers as well.
Yeah, Arch Linux is beautiful as a container OS. I use it all the time.
I’m using Eternity too and its fsntastic
The Linux Mint team produces excellent software for making the end user experience gorgeous.
My favorite bit of software of theirs is webapp-manager. I have it installed on my Pinephone, and it allows me to make “apps” from websites.
I love that they embrace Debian as an alternative base. Debian is one of my favorite operating systems
Linux Mint = Good
