mostly anything on windows

that can be done too. tarballed software normally doesn’t have permissions attached I think

but also the way it puts file data one after the other can be beneficial for compression, especially if you can define the order of the files somehow

@SatyrSack@quokk.au

there is. if the updater gui integrates with packagekit and systemd, it can start an offline update that reboots your system and installs the updates while nothing else is running.

kind of like on windows, except that this is one of the things where windows made the right call. complex software does not handle it well if its program libraries and assets are being replaced by newer ones that the running version cannot understand.

its still kind of a new thing, not all distros make use of it yet, but Fedora does, and it’s not a Fedora custom solution but something that most distros can have.

automatic filesystem snapshots and rollback can be integrated to this too, and then bye bye to updates breaking the whole system.

windows 10 works pretty well too. all things amazon work pretty well too. google’s services very rarely have bugs, even less security breaches. they are all so convenient! why are people switching to alternatives, that are sometimes worse, sometimes better?

Your argument in relation to GitHub does not take in the reality of the effort involved with migrating to a different platform, effort that is likely unpaid, has no logistical upside and stalls the development efforts of a project,

forgejo can automatically import issues, PRs, Wiki articles, and automatic pull/push mirrors can be set up to keep the repo up to date at other places.

the CI/CD system is almost the same.

all the usual features are the same or very similar, including the whole user interface.

not to mention breaking every single source code repository link across the wider internet, links that represent publicity and community engagement.

who said they need to delete the repo from github?

I think it’s admirable that a project is asking its community if it should stay or move

it indeed would be admirable if the communication did not contain offensive tones at multiple places.

and also don’t forget that they already migrated once. but in the meantime it seems they have gone back to github for reasons unknown to me.

I don’t think so. all user processes should be stopped in one way or another before the screen is turned off

but seeding more does not cost storage. why not let it seed until you delete it?

if it’s so that you can see which ones can you delete, just click on the ratio column to sort by that, and check which ones have a higher ratio

than your hashbangs are bad. isn’t their point to tell the kernel exactly which interpreter can process it correctly?

I do create a lot of duplicates as I move and transfer files between 3 laptops.

Consider using syncthing

because it’s a pocket computer that fits in a small place and can drive an external display

maybe you could install a “portable” linux system on it. you may want to encrypt it though

I admit I didn’t read the article, but yes, I meant all corners, and not such those of windows but widgets amd popups too

bit out of character that this is what kde does not let you to customize by default

I’ve been told that opensuse tumbleweed has it. I’ve also read a suse forum post saying leap 16 will support offline updates, releasing in January, so they could be the first to support all of this with fs snapshots

Even just the updating from Discover can be broken on some systems

if you didn’t enable offline updates in systemsettings, then it’ll do roughly the same as you would in the terminal, so that’s not unexpected

that’s exactly how updates should work in every desktop distro. as an option of course.

systemd made it possible to install updates on shutdown.
packagekit enabled kde software to automatically obtain and prepare the updates.
plasma does the final touch nowadays to ask you on the reboot/shutdown dialog whether you want to install them.

Basically all the system is in place, with code from widely used parties. packagekit can even integrate with your filesystem to make a snapshot before install. It’s wonderful. yet, it seems as if only fedora supports this full setup right now? or is there anything else?

Win L. the next, superior edition of windows, if someone asks.

eastern, or middle, depends on how you look at it. orbán is not representative, he’s special

Sorry American readers, we in the real world use soccer metaphors, we are manly like that, even our women

As a European reader I highly doubt all claims in that sentence. refe what?

Actually I would have thought its the Americans that do this.
