Canonical’s been selling commercial support for Ubuntu Core for a while now. Why would they abandon it if it’s working?

Valve are one of the major reasons that Microsoft’s attempts at the iOSification of Windows failed. Their investments in Linux are directly aimed at preventing what Apple is doing.
Tim Sweeney is a freeloader depending on companies like Valve to protect him from these threats to his company.
Android doesn’t count, but what about my PinePhone?
You know what else would be awesome? “Update, reboot, and (just this once) automatically login”
It would be super useful for when I’m alone at home working but want to do updates over my lunch break.
I thought this was ridiculous but the kitty cuddles while playing sold me.
Yeah, it’s easy to do. I just wish for once that this particular app would do it for me automatically
Yeah on my Linux machine I’ve had like 2 apps want to run on startup, and both of them had little checkboxes in their tray menus to disable that behaviour. If anything the bigger struggle has been that every time I change machines or distros I have to manually get yakuake to start on login again.
It is theoretically automatable, but on bare metal it requires having hardware that’s not normally just sitting in every data centre, so it would still require someone to go and plug something into each machine.
On VMs it’s more feasible, but on those VMs most people are probably just mounting the disk images and deleting the bad file to begin with.
I know at least of Freexian. But also, Ubuntu tends to cover the “Like Debian, but with enterprise support” niche.
The packages in most distros will also restart the server for you. Any existing SSH sessions will technically be running in vulnerable versions, but if I’m understanding the vulnerability correctly this isn’t a problem, as they won’t be trying to authenticate a user.
If you want to be sure, you can manually restart the ssh server yourself. On most distros sudo systemctl restart sshd
should do it.
I’m a monthly donor to KDE EV and to the Mozilla Foundation.
Bash
Not because it’s the best or even my favourite. Just because I create so many ephemeral VMs and containers that code switching isn’t worth it for me.
FWIW Plasma 5.27 works very well on Wayland with AMD GPUs. The fact that desktop mode uses x11 is probably not related to them still using Plasma 5. I would guess once KDE announces an LTS version of Plasma 6 (possibly as early as 6.2?) they’ll upgrade Steam OS to that.
Yeah that’s solidly it. I use strictly confined CLI snaps all the time. (In fact, I maintain the snaps for a couple of CLI apps.) They work fine as long as the snap has the right plugs.
But I don’t want to have to run flatpak run dev.htop.htop
to get to htop.
EA is continuing to do what they’ve always done - attempt to suck up as much money as possible. It just so happens that for once they think being less shitty is the best way to do it. Don’t hold your breath about this being a trend.
I’ve got a desktop that got a dirty install of KDE Neon when the repositories first got put up (before there were isos). Been in-place upgrading it ever since.
Kubuntu works well on mine. A friend has Lubuntu on his.
Yeah, the market for those handhelds seems to be people who either specifically want Windows or want better specs (or think they want that), but don’t mind the trade-offs.
That tracks, I think Vüdü Linux is a dead project.
