Lol. It’s a close second, but at least Apple isn’t blatantly hostile toward users in the same way that Microsoft is.
Hello, tone-policing genocide-defender and/or carnist 👋
Instead of being mad about words, maybe you should think about why the words bother you more than the injustice they describe.
Have a day!

Obligatory people getting mad at you for people suggesting you stop using software that is openly hostile toward you response.
Using containers on Linux has basically no performance loss compared to running on the host. They share a kernel and nothing needs to be virtualized (unlike containers on macOS and Windows), so anything you run in a container is basically the same performance as running it on the host.
I still agree though: using Nix is better than using Distrobox for many other reasons.
Nix has more packages , by far. Nix also automatically handles the dependent libraries for each package, which is something you can’t do with brew on immutable systems. This means that Nix can install software like espanso, which wouldn’t work on uBlue derivatives otherwise.
I really wish the uBlue maintainers would have opted for Nix over brew for that reason. It’s not much more difficult to do nix profile install nixpkgs#package-name
over brew install package-name
. They could have even aliased it to make it easier.
If someone could build a preconfigured image that has Phosh and basic phone apps, I would consider using this full time.
Seriously. The Luddites were mostly correct about their objections to technology being used to replace humans and making exploitation more efficient, making OP’s misuse of the terms that much funnier.
Synergy doesn’t work with Wayland, sadly.
Be warned: Synergy doesn’t work with Wayland.
This is all I want to know. If yes, I’ll pass.
While I generally agree with your skeptical attitude toward this, I think the fact that they were targeting Apple’s Metal graphics API to built the most performant possible IDE makes sense. You can’t just snap your fingers and have a Linux graphical stack start working with your software.
I think the reason they targeted macOS first is probably because many of the dev team uses Macs.
As a Linux user, I’ll happily wait for software like this to get ported to native Linux APIs so we get performant text editors instead of more Electron crap.
Thank you!
How do you get plain-text logs instead of the garbage binary format that journalctl
forces on you?
Part of the problem also has to do with corporate-backed distros. Fully community-driven distros don’t suffer from that nearly as much, if at all.
I like Fedora, but stuff like that makes me worry about how it’s going to be as time goes on.
FYI: There is a dark pattern in the mobile app where, if you toggle the opt-out buttons in order from top to bottom, one of them will enable themselves.
Demons.
Here’s what I do in my docker images:
mkdir -p /lib-your-executable
ldd ./your-executable | tr -s '[:blank:]' '\n' | grep '^/' | xargs -I % cp % /lib-your-executable
Essentially, it’s the same thing that you’re doing, just automating getting the dependencies, and then copying everything in the lib-your-executable
dir to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
. I don’t know of a better way, other than statically-linking the binaries.
EDIT: fix typo in commands.
Yeah, and it even has inertial scrolling, which is badly needed in most applications. And yet, so few seem to support it.
While this is true, using Wireguard or OpenVPN config files requires more fuss to change servers compared to using the provider’s VPN client.
That’s a brilliant idea! I don’t know why using Nix didn’t occur to me.
What did you do to configure Nix on Bazzite (ujust nix
, or something similar)? I’m willing to rebase just to try it, if necessary.
You are an absolute king for this! I assumed it was too niche to have it included, but if you’re willing to consider bundling espanso
in the Bluefin image, I can look into trying to solve for this.
RustDesk is the closest alternative, and I think it does a pretty good job.
