genuinely just a horrible take

it lacks Wayland support.

It lacks wayland support in the sense that the UI won’t run on Wayland. It can take screenshots on Wayland.

well expecting to use a tool made for X on Wayland is expecting a boat paddle to move a car.

Should be as simple as a shader on-top of Weston or sum 🤷

It’s pointless, but it’s customization.

Either way, XFCE already has plans for Wayland support

There’s elementary/pantheon tweaks for titlebar editing, other than that you just click the app’s icon on the dock again.

On the topic of void, note that they offer a glibc version too

On the startpage of the settings there’s an animation speed slider, including an option to turn them off entirely.

Well yeah, LibAdwaita is the flagship implementation of GNOME’s design guidelines.

It recommends new users to just install everything with it, instead of looking for native alternatives.

There’s actually the “Zorin-exec-guard”, which runs when you wanna use an AppImage (for integration) or windows app and tries to match the filename to a known list of either native versions of the program or native alternatives. It then prompts you if you wanna use those instead.

They’ve also released a migration tool for a future Z16 > Z17 migration and migration between Core & Pro.

Another thing, the extensions and everything needed for pro layouts is all in the repos but disabled by default. You can all enable it manually.

because obtainium gets many apps directly from F-Droid.org too, not just github

And for those downloads, it does no verification

Not on GitHub either, where signatures are often attached together with the APK.

It doesn’t sign it locally, it verifies the file you downloaded is already signed properly as it should be. This ensures the download isn’t broken but also that the app is from who they claim it is.

Eh, obtainium doesn’t verify signatures, it quite literally just scrapes sources.

that’s really just two differences:

• weaker separation/sandboxing (process is granted permission to everything) (mostly bad with handy usecases)
• an alias feature for binaries contained in packages so you don’t have to run them by ID

With the maintainer having added the ability to re-clock newer cards and the upcoming NVK driver, it may be a possibility in the future.

Good to see! It really needed some reorganisation

One is based on Ubuntu, the other is based on Debian.

It’s maintained in case something goes wrong with Ubuntu, or for those who don’t want to use it as the base for Mint.

If you’re thinking prompts and permissions, that exists. PolKit handles all of that both on and outside the desktop. Many on servers may use sudo instead.

You don’t have admin/root priveleges by default unless you’re dumb enough to do sudo -i or login to the root user

If you want your Flatpak on Flathub.org, you’ll need to open a pull request and go through review.

I’d wager a guess and say Debian is probably used on servers more than desktops. I’d wager another guess and say that for server applications many are actually fine with snap

as such, I bring forth the theory that snapd is a popular package on Debian due to it’s widespread use on servers, not because tons of people are running bare Debian on their desktops and preferring snaps.

We need more data to say anything about the desktop.
