GNOME should at least support colour schemes, in my opinion. If they don't want theming, they can at least do that. In any case, Gradience can help with getting a coherent colour scheme on non-GNOME/libadwaita environments, and if the user is just using Breeze, they already have a Breeze colour scheme available. It's available as a Flatpak.

Gentoo isn't so much painful but it takes a bloody long time. If anything, some of the packages are really painful. Qtwebengine is one such example.
Hmm... I'm gonna keep tabs on that one then. Good call.
Mainly GPU acceleration without passthrough from the last time I tested (Modern Windows is slow without it and passthrough might be an issue on immutable distros), but shared folders is something I use quite a bit on VMware. I remember trying virtiofs when I used passthrough, and it was suffering.
I think the only thing holding me back from going for immutable Linux is desktop virtualisation. VirtualBox and VMware can't be installed on an immutable distro AFAIK, and libvirt isn't all there for Windows guests.
Yeah I'm looking at that as well. Friend of mine does say if you want to do full-body tracking the Quest is a pain to do it with, but I'm not deep in PCVR right now haha.
I'm thinking on buying a Quest to dip into PCVR. I've heard horror stories about the Index's poor QC (which is weird given the Steam Deck's done me well so far) and PSVR2 isn't compatible with PC. Yes, iVRy exists but that driver is in development and the developer basically said "just buy a Quest if you want a cheap PC VR headset".
I was more talking about Vivaldi feature-wise, FWIW. There's features I'd like from Vivaldi that don't have a close equivalent to Firefox, not even from its forks (tab tiling's my go-to example), and maybe in the distant future, there'd be a browser like it running on Servo.
While it's not an alternative right now, I think Servo's focus on being embeddable might help it in the long run. A big issue with Gecko is that it was difficult, if not impossible to embed. It'd be nice to see something like Vivaldi that runs on Servo.
I think the fediverse, and that includes Lemmy, have this warped idea of what Bluesky is and what ActivityPub/the fediverse actually is. They think ActivityPub is the de-facto protocol for microblogging, when it has glaring issues that Bluesky wanted to solve with Atproto (the queer.af debacle is a great example of this, imagine if you've got an account on queer.af and you want to move your data to a new instance). If you're a Linux guy, you might have seen parallels between ActivityPub/Mastodon vs. Atproto/Bluesky and X11 vs. Wayland.
It's exactly this. Bluesky has its problems but there is a massive overreaction from the fediverse crowd that it makes it hard for me to sympathise with them even if I agree on the principle.
EDIT: JSYK, the Bridgy Fed developer is working towards making the bridge opt-in! https://tech.lgbt/@ShadowJonathan/111925391727699558
AFAIK, no bridges to Bluesky are actually active yet, and Bridgy Fed is considering ways of going opt-in.
