we need to have trusted sources, and provide sources for pictures and video the same way we’ve been sourcing claims

it doesn’t matter if there’s “a picture” of something, it only matters if it’s “a picture taken by [specialist] published by [specialist institution]”

i see you have a phd in derailing conversations

so that’s just a broken app

technically, yes. but at the end of the day, in the real world, that app would work fine on ~all but ~1 desktop compositor

wayland doesn’t require SSDs, because it’s not just meant for desktop computing. in the context of desktop computing, it’s been a standard for decades now to have a title bar on a window, so it does make sense that apps would assume they can get one without having their own drawing code or relying on a third-party library!

I don’t have a personal Microsoft account, and have no desire to create one more account, but am required by my organisation to use 1 Windows-only software for 2 hours every week. As such, I run that in a Windows VM on my computer, and this doesn’t seem like it’d be worth the effort of making a MS account

it’s listed on the project’s readme!

i think they’re talking about the proper old visual studio, a full-blown IDE!

AppImages can be double clicked and executed. They are not a pain to use.

i can understand that, but flatpaks are easier to upgrade and automatically integrated into your package manager, which (i believe) isn’t as straight forward for appimages. also there’s one major repo where you can find most apps (flathub) making app-hunting less daunting i feel like.
also, once your app is installed, it’s always in your system menu, so that doesn’t change much in the long run

Comfortable setup that carried over from Ubuntu LTS.

can’t you carry over flatpaks as well? you can probably copy /var/lib/flatpak or wherever they store their stuff from one system to another, or failing that, save all the app IDs you have installed, and re-install them onto your new system, backing up ~/.var to keep all your data!
