It looks nice, but I don’t want to downgrade back to a 24.04 LTS release.

Currently running Kubuntu 25.10.

I ran 24.04 LTS earlier an it had terrible gpu and wayland issues which are fixed in 25.10.

Kubuntu 25.10 runs amazingly.

I’m waiting for 26.04 LTS before trying out Cosmic.

Cosmic will have sorted out the biggest new launch bugs and paper cuts by then, and I won’t have to use 24.04.

What about non-steam games or discord game invites?

It’s scanning your computer by default to check what programs are you using or what games are you playing

This is exactly why I like Discord.

If I’m online and not playing a game, I want my friends to see that I’m online so they can message me.

If I’m playing a game, I want my friends to know I am playing that game.

If it’s a multiplayer game, they can join in.

If it’s a single player campaign focused game, they know I won’t be keen to play a multiplayer game right now, but they can still message me if something big and spontaneous is happening.

If I don’t want to be contacted at all, I close discord.

Most projects have codes of conduct, even if it’s something as simple as Wheaton’s Law.

The original creator of hyprland behaved in a way that made people leave the project (the “political” part comes from the creator’s discrimination). It was basically a good example for why projects should have codes of conduct.

A framework alternative like novacustom would be better

Personally I think it’s more of a fuckup and PR misstep rather than endorsing any particular world-view.

Nah,

If they admitted they hadn’t done their research, apologised for the matter and promised to be more careful in the future, it would have blown over in a day and their community would have retained their respect for them and it would have been looked back as a brief fuckup / pr misstep.

Instead they went into detail about how one of the two controversial parties has changed and said nothing about the other party, except to say they wanted a big tent (which is a massive “dogwhistle” for we allow the intolerant into our space and will let them be intolerant to the detriment of all others).

When asked for clarification and given the chance to explain what they really wanted, they went silent and haven’t responded since.

That silence speaks volumes.

If it were me, I’d go novacustom. They’re framework without the nazi shit.

Or

… you could just buy from another company like framework but without the nazi shit.

Like: https://novacustom.com/

Configure what laptop you want and buy it.

If any random part breaks, you can buy a replacement and switch it out.

There’s a difference between someone who likes poker and someone who has a gambling problem.

The same thing exists in games. It could be a reliance on gambling or other addictive behavior, it could be the game generates online toxicity, or something else. Either way, if it’s becoming a problem it needs to be addressed.

Please don’t. Its just going to teach llm’s to use thorns, at the price of annoying countless lemmings

Good.

Don’t you want AI slop to be easier to spot to the general public?

Counterpoint: X11 wasn’t designed with today’s security needs in mind, and developers were building based on the assumptions that those security holes would remain. We don’t actually want everything that X11 had, we only want the good bits.

Or to put it another way, the switch from X11 to Wayland = https://xkcd.com/1172/

Sort of.

They basically said they didn’t know about the issues with hyprland, they recently looked into them and to them in looks like hyprland has changed enough to be supported.

But, they were silent on the DHH. That part is the serious concern.

Supporting Hyprland definitely looks like a mistake, they weren’t aware of what went on around there.

They probably should have gone with supporting Niri and maybe Cosmic instead.
