This is the first time I ever find myself kind of disagreeing with the Mint team. As others have said, some of the most popular packages on Flathub are unverified so popular programs like Inkscape are not going to show up as Flatpaks?

I think just a warning, like what Flathub does, and maybe a dialog before installing, warning the app is packaged by an unverified packager, would have been enough.

It's a good looking config, and the lack of bar is unique but I think you're getting downvoted because of calling this: asthma

I know that a lot of work is being done across all Wayland desktops to get this supported but I don't fully know about the levels of support, as I don't use a DE and I have no need for fractional scaling. From what I've heard, KDE Plasma supports pretty much everything now, which includes fractional scaling.

Agreed. As a self-proclaimed Linux fan, I'm also trying to give an unbiased perspective but I still find myself presenting things as nicer than they are sometimes.

The feature you're referring to is called Fractional scaling. What Desktop are you using? Are you using Fedora Workstation (GNOME), Fedora KDE, or something else?

Even if that's so, I have had many occasions where I thought that for something simple, ChatGPT could do the job. I ended up having a back and forth for hours (last case of that being yesterday) until I got it fixed. For most cases (but not yesterday's) I found it much faster by looking it up online.

I like using the terminal on video because it scares people

I like him already.

You don't even have to do that, if you use a flatpak.

Nice! I took the liberty of adding a few more nice-to-haves I found there. I often forget this is a thing that can be changed. Thanks!

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 2 points 5 months ago

I get it. For me, that's just a nice-to-have.

Fedora with Hyprland, Qtile Wayland and COSMIC. I'm hoping COSMIC will be stable and featureful enough to meet all my needs by then so I can use it full time.

The linux equivalent would probably be using su to switch to an account with sudo access or straight-up to root.
