I was going to ask if you’d tied a string to it, but now I understand.

I don’t understand who the target audience for videos like this is. I could stand all of 30 seconds of it.

The point hinted at in the title is not part of this article. This is an overview of various versions and branches of UNIX, and nothing more.

Knowing this has no value for you, but it made me smile that I read your comment on a screen split between Neovim on one side and Firefox on the other, on KDE on Tumbleweed.

The corps will poison and corrupt this potential like they poison and corrupt everything of value. There is no hope of a brighter future, only corpo hell. We are powerless to stop them.

Yeah, they have more than five users, they must be hiding something. It’s only logical.

Maybe using a free email account offered by an ad company wasn’t such a good idea after all.

This week was a rebuild-everything week. Latest snapshot upgraded something like 95% of all my non-flatpak packages.

Find this file:

Flatpak: ~/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/config/lutris/runners/wine.yml
Otherwise:  ~/.config/lutris/runners/wine.yml

The file points to a version of Wine that you no longer have installed. Find the section that looks like this:

wine:
  version: wine-ge-8-25-x86_64

Update the version listed here to the latest one you actually have installed. You can get the exact name by clicking this button in Lutris:

It should be obvious from the list shown in the window that pops up which Wine versions you have installed, and which versions you’re actively using. Get the name of one that’s installed and copy it into the wine.yml file; keep the formatting that’s already there, with a hyphen between the version and the architecture.

Save the file, restart everything, bam, games galore.

Equating a debate over the default behavior of mouse clicks—behavior that can be changed in ten seconds—with the very essence of the free software movement is so comically misguided as to be downright sad.

Yes; my post is obliquely suggesting that people are ridiculous.

When I first switched to KDE, this issue took up roughly 15 seconds of my time as I saw what was happening and went exploring for the setting to change the behavior. Apart from having to change the setting again from time to time, I have spent exactly zero seconds thinking about it and exactly zero seconds wondering which approach was the “best” since then. I wonder how honest it is for this site to refer to a “debate”; it’s hard for me to imagine anyone giving a shit beyond setting their own system up the way they like it.

Half an article with the other half locked behind a paid subscription.

You’re not necessarily missing out on anything. Most people find a distro they like and stick with it until some specific reason compels them to change, which might never happen. Distro hoppers are excited about Linux and excited about exploring different things and discussing them with others, which gives you the impression that everyone’s doing it—but that’s not true. It’s a hobby, and you’re free to adopt it, but there’s no point to it other than to entertain and challenge you, if that’s your thing.
