How does the Shizoku route work exactly?

You can easily see the money they put in right on the screen, although I didn’t like the script, the dialogues and half of the acting.

Andor is vastly superior in every aspect.

Really ? That’s great to know. I’ll give them another look then.

Just like any other FOSS project:

Devs chose a repo of their choice, the distributor (in this case Nexus) choses a repo (GitHub is either free or very cheap for FOSS projects) to check for compliance, vulnerabilities, etc and then it’s cloud natively packaged for distribution.

This is how Flathub, Homebrew, and the Universal Project distros are built and distributed.

I bet Nexus would save a ton of money if they went this way.

I don’t remember exactly, but yeah somewhere from that side of the planet.

Any GIT repo ?

The company and servers, yes. Devs / Owners are from India I believe.

some hope

I read this news as: “The Linux proof of concept has graduated and will be merged into the main app”.

I tried the demo, not for me I guess. But happy to see indie devs hitting it big.

Since Valve’s midas touch, KDE Plasma has been pure gold for gaming. I love it.

It’s a win for everyone except Epic. PURE BLISS.

The only better alternative (for me) would be a bunch of DRM free stores feeding their catalogues to an open source front-end that has everything that Steam already does.

Like Heroic, Lutris, Playnite, etc. But way more developed features and with official vendor support and a built-in unified store that supports all catalogues in the same view, like a federated marketplace.

That would be the only thing capable of moving me away from Steam completely.

I love Gnome, for me… their UI is the most beautiful of any desktop OS. But I had to move to KDE Plasma primarily for all the gaming related features that come out first on Plasma. That led me to see just how much flexibility I was missing.

Now I greatly value both desktop environments, both visions are valid, but they cater completely different minded users.

This is really cool.

Please share an example podcast title & author.

I would love to see the OS share. I bet us Linux users are all over it, since right now it is the only tool we can use to do all of that in the same place and easily.

Actually, it’s your ultimate goal. You said you want her PC to not break. And you want to accomplish it by learning and then fixing it yourself. Well, I’m here trying to help you diagnose the issue & possible solutions.

I was trying to collaborate with you. Help me help you.

To answer your question, Bazzite and all other diestros developed by Universal Blue project are all downstream modifications of the Fedora Silverblue base image, which in turn is downstream of Fedora itself.

If you want to use the closest thing to Bazzite but you don’t want it to be focused on gaming, you could go for Aurora or Bluefin (both Universal Blue distros).

But if the issues she’s having are related to GPU stuff, you should use the same hardware and compositor (valve’s gamescope/KDE plasma kwin/ gnome mutter) which depends on the distro and variant you pick.

If you could tell us the issues she’s having, we could be of greater help.

keep her PC from breaking all the time

How did she manage to break Bazzite?

It would be useful if you could compare it to current FOSS alternatives. I mean, why this instead of say… Ironcalc, collabora, etc.

They already have a badge for that.
