This is a pretty nice list. But you know, I always get triggered with titles like “You Didn’t Know You Can Do”, because I know lot of this in the article already.

I think not allowing it at all would be worse, because then people start claiming not to use Ai while they secretly do. Allowing it with a disclosure at least makes this process a bit more transparent. You can think about ai what you want, at least handling it this way is better than not allowing it at all.

How many of them were good games and original?

While I wish there was an Open Source client, I can only imagine why Valve does not want that. First, it would help fakers and scammers too. Steam has a Scammer problem. Secondly, it could help the competition. At least an official API would go a long way, to enable the community to write their own Open Source client based on the API.

Oh boy, what an idea. Copilot indexes the files for a in-text and metadata search. And automatically checks it it contains some signatures of known malware. And handles the defragmentation of files. Sure you can disable it, but if you do not enable Copilot, then your filesytem becomes a mess, as nothing in the Microsoft eco system would work as expected without it. Note: This is just fan fiction, Copilot doesn’t do that… yet.

I don’t think anyone would think you were a fanboy, just beacuse KDE has ton of configuration and customization. That’s the opposite of GNOME. I always think of GNOME like Apple, who decides what you can and cannot do, what you are allowed to. I used GNOME 2, then Unity, then GNOME 3 all the way from Ubuntu 2008 to what, 2020 (I forget when I switched to different distro for the first time).

You are not the only one. Its a taste. I personally like the KDE look the most, its beautiful to me. No other desktop environment looks this good.

What a banger release! Last time they focused on bug hunting, this time its about features. This ping pong focused development is very nice.

• KRunner Fuzzy Search: Not earth shattering, but welcome. I hope there is a way to dynamically force to enable or disable it. Sometimes fuzzy search can be in the way (I know it from other fuzzy search tools). My recommendation is ~ character to toggle the functionality: "~file" to enable fuzzy in example, if its disabled by default. I may even make a suggestion in the issue tracker, but I don’t know what options they integrated into it yet.

No DirectX to Metal exist yet, right? So Apple user could get games working from DirectX to Vulkan, then Vulkan to Metal. Could this actually work or is a direct layer (no pun intended) needed for Direct X?

Let me guess, it’s written in Rust… wait no, it’s in C. Does that mean no controversy? :-\

or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Linux + Rust.

But why?

The point of many colors is not that everything is important, but showing relationship and the “type” of code. I don’t think the less colored version is better (or worse) readable. It’s a preference.

I don’t understand why they don’t use the configuration.

For me, these are 5 reasons to stay on Linux. :-)

Many YouTubers recommend it nowadays, as an alternative to Windows 10 ending its support. Often its said that the look (at least on the surface) is similar to Windows 10. I wonder how much other distributions are affected by this, especially Linux Mint, Bazzite and SteamOS itself.

I wish more websites would support RSS. It’s one of the best web techniques that are under utilized in my opinion. I know there are services to build a custom RSS and so on, but that never did it for me (various reasons). A simple real RSS would do so much for me.

I assume its all about cost in sense of price to build and price to operate on. And nothing wrong with that approach, unless it is broken.

I said “most users” in the sense of “nobody has to” and refer to everyone, including you and me. We don’t have to use the commandline to update package managers, if we use a GUI for it. I didn’t mean a specific number of people do or don’t.

I don’t know what exactly you want to know actually. It’s a generic wording / term. I’m not talking about a specific user group or something like that. I’m just saying, “people” do not HAVE to use a commandline package manager, if the system is configured to use a GUI manager for the packages.

In example SteamOS on the Steam Deck is configured in a way the user never need to use the terminal. There is the gaming mode, without a desktop and a click updates the system. And in desktop mode there is Discover pre-configured with Flathub for Flatpaks. Users don’t have to use the terminal to install new applications or update them. Just as an example. I think openSUSE also has some GUI for that and doesn’t Linux Mint have such a GUI too? Manjaro comes with their Pamac graphical tool.
