Unfortunately the issue persists even if I give Heroic access to the all user files (filesystem=home), but maybe the issue is more an issue of Steam rather than of Heroic, since from Heroic I’m able to launch games and even add them to Steam (they actually appear on Steam Library, and manually launching from a terminal the command Heroic automatically added to steam games are launched properly).

I tried to give Steam flatpak full access to user’s files as well, but after having done that I got an error when launching steam pointing me to this doc page so I think some additional steps would be needed for that change (?)

Because sometimes I have the laptop connected to the TV using Steam’s Big Picture mode with a controller and it would be nice to launch also my Heroic games from there without having to go back to the desktop

Maybe take a look at PhotoSync as well, it’s not foss but it’s a really well-done app and seems to be what you are looking for

Imho the card view redesign was more than needed, thank you!

Big kudos to the thunderbird team, since the supernova announcement they’ve done a really good job

Anyone willing to summarize those mistakes here, for those who can’t watch the video rn?

Agree, it doesn’t mean the project it bad but it still seems a bit weird. I’ve texted one of the Dev on Reddit to ask for some clarification about the whole thing, and maybe understand the reasons behind this choices.

Will update you here if they reply

As I replied to the other comment, I wasn’t aware of the recent happenings. I’ve been using Floorp for a while now and when I installed it it was fully opensource.

However, it seems like it’s fully opensource again now (sources in the other reply)

Huh! I didn’t know about all these happenings around floorp’s source code availability, but from what I can see now it should be back as fully open source under the MPL 2.0… am I wrong?

License on official GitHub

Reddit post about coming back fully open source

From the Floorp official website:

Floorp’s source code is entirely open, allowing anyone to view it and contribute to the project. Not only is the browser itself open source, but the build environment is as well.

Agree. Not at all a security expert here, but maybe doing it inside a distrobox could be a temporary fix?

Forget it, I just tried and it seems it gets installed in your home directory so using distrobox doesn’t change anything (apparently, but as I said I’m not an expert so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong).

However, I’ve seen they also have it available through a bunch of package managers like nix, arch and Fedora

Thank you, but the problem is that is howdy installation (that gets automatically executed after I run sudo apt install howdy that tries to run “old fashioned” pip commands. So I should either find a way to tweak Howdy install (like building it from source after changing something maybe?) or disable this system security feature temporarily, install howdy and re-enable it immediately after

Nope I didn’t, but the problem doesn’t seem to be the Python version, but instead the fact that now Python is “externally managed” and therefore I cannot install packages using pip install packagename as it used to be.

I know that this is done for security reasons and that the good practice would be using pipx or conda, but the problem is that howdy istallation still tries to use the “old approach”

Who else thinks we need a sub for that?

(sublemmy? Lemmy community? How is that called?)

If you are looking for something light and low maintenance, maybe Mint could be a good fit?

I’ve never daily driven it because I’m not a fan of Cinnamon, but everyone says its light and stable so seems like what you are looking for

Ok thank you for your explanation! So basically if I would want an LLM to answer me basing itself on a large set of documents this would be the wrong approach (because of the context window problem other comments were mentioning)… but then how could I do?

Up! Depending on what you are looking for also VanillaOS could be an interesting option

Long time Fedora user here. I’ve used Manjaro for a few months before Fedora and I’ve switched to PopOS! a few months ago because it was better supported from my laptop manufacturer…

I’ve to admin I was a bit skeptical about switching to a Debian based distro, because I’m someone who likes to follow the latest news in the field and gets exited to try the latest stuff. But then I did and gosh if it’s a smoother experience compared to Fedora! (which itself was a notable smoother experience compared to Manjaro). I’m not saying that Fedora experience was bad, I still think is one (if not the) best compromise between usability and freshness, but I’d say that with Pop I’ve had even less troubles than with windows! The price of that? Being stuck with Gnome 42 after having tried the goodies of newer ones :/

TL;DR: If you think you can live without the latest magic from the linux community, to then I’d reccommend you Pop. Otherwise Manjaro is a good distro and from what I can remember NVIDIA drivers works almost out-of-the-box but be ready for some frequent minor troubleshooting sessions

And where do I find how much token context has my llm?

Haven’t tried yet, but I’ve seen some people on YT claiming to have done so… If you try it out let me know if you succeed!

I was on Wayland, but unfortunately switching to X11 didn’t fix the issue
