Bro, they cost £300 on Ebay in the UK (a refurbished t480 with an 8th Gen Core i7)

Just use Floorp. Gives you even easier UI customisation by allowing you to switch to the old UI via the settings, and also includes Webapp support and support for Workspaces.

Can they? I'll be honest, I'm not that familiar with how flatpak works on a more technical level.

Not everyone can afford to host such a service. For some people, bills would be an issue. For others, buying and storing the hardware would be an issue. For me, storing the hardware and hosting anything would be problematic, as I'm in student accommodation meaning space is limited as it is, let alone with extra stuff laying around. There's also a point in my contract which states that upon using too much electricity, I would be asked to pay for it over it being included in the contract. On top of that, I don't even need this as it is overkill for my use case, where I already have a backup of all cool and important stuff and a secondary backup of all the cool and important stuff that can't be found on the internet or is very difficult to find. So yeah. That's what I meant. Not everyone can afgord the luxury of doing so.

Now I WILL get judged for this but hear me out... AppImages are useful for apps that will not get on Flathub. If you have an app that cannot get on Flathub (like a pirated Minecraft Launcher), you will be thankful developers are using AppImages for them. In this case, they're unlikely to use snaps (alt repos for snap are possible but difficult from what I've heard) and maintaining a flatpak repo just seems like overkill for a single program. So for cases like these, I'm glad to see these packaged as appimages

Not everyone is rich. I sure wish I was, but we can't all do that.

It seems that it does, in fact, end them.

Depends on the person really. I've been a sailor all my life, and the only times I've bought games was when I bought some physical disc games for my ps4, so it really depends on the person.

Between Plasma 6, the COSMIC alpha, and potentially some new releases from XFCE and Budgie, both of which are focused on Wayland support, this could be a very big year for DEs.

If the live environment launches but not the installer, press Super + D to open up Rofi and search for it. I had to do that last week when installing Fedora Sway.

And it was at 2.92% in Oct 23, so that's approx 38% increase in 4 months! If we keep this level of growth for a year, we're looking at 7.67% marketshare in a year from now!

Seems you're right, as I saw The Linux Experiment was using the Fedora 40 Beta to test Plasma 6 for his review
