I don’t have real knowledge, but I could imagine both. E.g. nvidia may not want to raise an official ticket and then get a public decline. That could be a story that you can refer to. They may, at least for now, want to go the proprietary way, as if it’s a Windows installer (lol).
Sounds interesting! And welcome to Lemmy if you’re a new user indeed! (Otherwise, cheers.) Few personal thoughts below.
Atomically upgradable images and the added security sound interesting to me. I’m not specialized enough to say whether that’s really going to help for my threat model, personally. I mean, in /boot I currently only have the Linux images. Verifying those seems sufficient, because the actual system is only decrypted afterwards when I enter my password.
I must also say, accepting a concept is harder for me if the proposed line of thought is “GNOME OS is to be loved, and %project_name% is a bit like that”. Because personally, I remember Gnome since version 2 and I dislike what they’ve done with the system since. I only use gnome-disks from the entirety of them. From KDE I use more (kate), and from XFCE I use way way more. And I also dislike how GNOME pushed systemd onto all of us as a hard requirement. Not that systemd is necessarily bad, but the push for it didn’t feel right.
Yup, that’s simply a deal breaker. [For me].
If it’s for you, too, you could maybe even mark the post with [SOLVED] or “Update:…”. If you wish. No obligation.

“Frame” is AI slop. I think it was explained that the whole or most of the project is written by Claude Code. https://github.com/isene/frame#license
How many bugs there are and for how long it’s going to be maintained, anyone can guess themselves.
Interesting, checked it now. Phoenix: https://git.dec05eba.com/phoenix/about/
It’s Wayland though (and partially Xorg)? I mean, the protocol that the client has to speak with gamescope is wayland (or, somewhat indirectly, Xorg).
I’m curious about your statement … (on the bugs in kanata)
I’m on Linux, and I get hit by this bug a lot: https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/discussions/422
The official work-around is to use an additional F24 key press-release sequence: https://jtroo.github.io/config.html#tap-hold but that works poorly for me. Some apps are messed up slightly because of this (editors such as kate which stops understanding Ctrl Z properly), some work smooth, and some even break entirely to the point of becoming unusable (terminals such as raw tty3 or xfce4-terminal).
Adding to the comments about VIA and QMK, you can also use something on the computer itself to do ergonomics tricks and making F7 usable again.
I’m in particular using kanata, which then works on everything from notebook keyboards to custom ones. I’m not 100% happy with it and in fact considering to write my own software for this, but it’s good-enough for basic usage. It might be good-enough for you. kmonad is less buggy but has fewer features (definitely enough for F7 though).
Maybe some AI crawlers started to honestly report Linux instead of Windows as they possibly did before? Otherwise such a quick spike is hard to explain (unbelievable). Or did I miss any big news lately?
//I’m on Linux in the last 15 years and I don’t even care that much about what unrelated to me people use, although I always do help fellow Linux-ers when I encounter them in the wild.
Hey, yeah, shit like that happens in life. The jokes about that from your friends are understandable but inconsequential. After all, you probably love Linux not because everything is plug-and-play here, but because it’s free and customizable (and you can set up a lot of things to be plug-and-play, too, if that’s what you want).
By the way, heads-up on connecting Android phones for file exchange: those require the MPT driver, too. Some distros/desktop environments ship it out-of-the-box, some don’t.
And last thought from a social angle. With experience of using Linux and talking with other people in the last ~18 years, I would recommend not to advertise Linux, to yourself or to others, as a system that “can do everything that Windows can”. That’s just not true. Some stuff Windows can do that Linux cannot, some stuff Linux can do that Windows cannot. For me it worked best to get people interested in Linux if I:
Don’t push hard. I answer any inquiries eagerly, but I leave people the space to stay where they are. If they believe something is really good for them, I let them have it. Good advertising moments come themselves when people themselves note that they’re actually lacking something.
I teach, and more rarely do I just do something directly. I’ve noticed this keeps people engaged longer. “Don’t give the fish, teach how to fish”.
Sometimes it’s fun to share the awesome things you can do in Linux. And many people don’t know that all the routers, Android phones and servers are near-100% Linux. Learning that impresses them and seems count towards “good reputation” for the system in their eyes, too. (And it’s a true fact.)
I’ll skip discussions about my persona. But most certainly golf courses or video games have orders of magnitude lower impact on electricity and watee than worldwide LLMs (mostly in datacenters).
Currently, LLMs impact on electricity usage and fresh water usage across the world is HUGE.
The painful part to me is the choice on where to put the stress. Which areas to highlight and talk about.
Yes some weak LLMs can use comparatively little electricity. Yes some other industries use electricity, generate CO2 and consume fresh water, too. But the existence of other problems, to me, does not mean that eco impact of LLMs should be swept under the rug.
Indeed. For those who are relatively new to IT: it’s a reference Embrace, Extend and Extinguish, a strategy known and legally confirmed to be used by Microsoft.
