A lot of people don't realise that tampermonkey isn't libre in my experience.

Unless I am misunderstanding you, it is, on Dec 14.

Extensions just have to specify they are compatible.

Definitely, along with the specs of your phone.

I'm curious what sized system you are putting in that costs that much.

An 8kw solar system usually costs a bit over $8k and at least in many areas seems to have a ROI of a bit over 6 years at most and often much less.

They are being downvoted because it is utter nonsense, spouted as authoritative fact.

Anyone who has ever used gnome seriously, knows that although it can be used for touch it is heavily keyboard oriented.

While not undermining the work of KDE devs who I have great admiration for, GNOME devs also work heavily on standards that benefit all of linux, and arguably do just as much if not more, as they are a very well resourced project.

I don't know how active it is anymore and how stable on Desktop, but maybe Lomiri?

Deepin also seems similar, in that it seems to sit between the two, but I can't recommend that due to the persistent disregard of security issues re that DE.

Lumina was something a bit similar to XFCE in that it seemed to want a simple stable base and ui, with only key technologies updated, and lots of options. Looks dead though now, which is a shame as I enjoyed using it for BSDs.

It can already do that as long as your desktop environment uses portals. You just need to set the appropriate about:config flag or envvar.

I think this is a bit misleading.

Most or at least the majority of distros offer the proprietary nvidia driver.

Pop, Zorin, Ubuntu, Garuda, etc just bundle it in the install media as an option.

Or violentmonkey for a FOSS tampermonkey compatible alternative.

I like Mint a lot, and have it running on one of my computers, even though it's not my daily driver.

However, I recently tried Zorin just to see what the fuss is about and honestly I can't see many reasons to recommend Mint above Zorin to new users. Both are based on Ubuntu LTS and have a bunch of tools to allow purely graphical management and Zorin has several windows-like layouts (both 10 and 7) that are more polished in my view, but Zorin also has the benefit of a more modern compositor and DE base with Wayland support, being based on gnome and mutter.

I'd be interested in your perspective, as from my end the only reason now to recommend mint (until muffin gets sufficiently modernised) would be if you knew a user would prefer cinnamon's slightly more traditional feel (almost XP), or if in the future LMDE became more of an important feature.

The upgrade is super seamless though. Basically bulletproof in my experience over many releases.

That's not what has happened here. This is the first time any major browser has enabled vaapi hardware acceleration by default on Linux.

It has been previously available either to users who have switched it on, or maintainers who changed the upstream default.

They are initially enabling for intel only due to some amd bugs that need to be ironed out. AMD will be next.
