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

Steam Deck now has thousands more games than the Nintendo Switch in c/steamdeck@lemmy.ml

I can play Spotify, Doom, and Runescape at the same time on my Steam Deck. I don't think any other console can do that

I want to know what's happening too

Redox OS - an OS built entirely out of Rust in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] baconicsynergy@beehaw.org 1 points 9 months ago

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.

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

HP misreads room, awkwardly brags about its “less hated” printers in c/technology@beehaw.org

Yeah!

FOSS Games are actually pretty good! in c/foss@beehaw.org

Endless Sky is amazing and under continuous, active development.

You can build your fleet as large as you want too, which can get insane. There's no cap hard coded in the source - one player I talked to built his fleet with thousands of freighters until his computer started lagging.

Veloren is amazing too. I love collecting lanterns, and taming animals and mounts is great gameplay.

Very low resources but reliable Wayland Desktop? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
