Snap and KDE. Best of both worlds IMO.

Kubuntu.

Honestly? Get a large monitor and a sound bar.

If I were in the market for a new monitor and I could get an 8k monitor for under $1000 I’d consider it, but right now if one of my monitors broke I’d just be getting another 4k to replace it. The price isn’t worth it for me to have high DPI.

For TV my only justification for my 4k TV is that it was free.

The original Sudo is licensed under a complex web of MIT-like licenses. sudo-rs is dual-licensed under the MIT license and Apache 2.

It really varies by the distro’s policies. If it gets into 6.18, for most distributions that means the next release that hasn’t had its version freeze will get it. For Ubuntu and its variants, if there are release candidates of 6.18 at the time of the kernel freeze for 25.10 then 25.10 will probably get it. Otherwise we’ll have to wait for 26.04.

But it felt like 6 months.

I initially read that as “stop using VPNs to watch child porn, ministers told” and was expecting a very different article.

It does not “just work” for me and I love it that way. I got bored of using Kubuntu LTS because nothing interesting happened. Now I’m running prerelease versions of everything and get to file (and fix!) bug reports on the reg.

Integer storage in spreadsheets… There are a ridiculous number of ways to store any integer, and I don’t just mean because you could theoretically store 1 and 00000001 and they’d be interpreted as the same thing.

I don’t think I’ve entered an IP address for a local device in years. Everything is accessible using <hostname>.local thanks to mDNS. Avahi has been doing this for… 20 years I think?

Do you even DNS?

Given that part of my job is evaluating applicants’ ability to do the job, and given that LLMs are very good at answering the sort of questions many people ask in interviews, AI is making my job significantly harder.

If someone could make a prompt that actually made an LLM write good code, I wouldn’t have nearly as much of an issue.

I would agree, except that every piece of it is significantly more complex than it needs to be. ODF is considerably simpler in part because it makes use of other pre-existing standards for things like dates and times. OOXML redefines so many of those things, and in many cases Microsoft Office’s implementation isn’t actually compatible with their own standard.

I’m pretty sure if they had come out of Canonical they’d be GPLv3. I can’t really blame you though - I’ve pointed that out to a half dozen people, none of them seemed to know.

What I do find ironic is that one of the people who’s complaining about the MIT-licensed uutils is a big fan of alpine Linux and the MIT-licensed musl…

This isn’t Canonical. uutils has been MIT licensed and included in both Debian and Ubuntu for a while. Canonical releases a lot of their code under GPL/LGPL, including the source for canonical.com. They even release some of their stuff under the AGPL.

Been using KDE exclusively on Wayland for over 2 years. What am I missing?
