Theoratically you can install the OS to the sdcard and "live boot" the kernel with (afaik) pmbootstrap flasher boot. But you'll always need a PC to boot it and can't use a pre-built image.

Afaik they were supposed to do a movie still but that sadly never happened.

I agree with you, just leaving that galaxy behind was a very disappointing ending.

Oh no, they cancelled it? I was still hoping for a season 😢

It looks native and is made to be Plasma Mobile and Plasma Bigscreen friendly. Enough reason for me 🤷 I do not personally like RetroArch's UI in non-console settings.

[–] PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 2 months ago

There should be a button on the sources page to do so if it isn't already enabled.

Make sure you have https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86/discover-backend-flatpak installed. It should be there by default but perhaps something went wrong.

That's not supported. We did support it in the past but deemed it too much of a hack and a maintenance nightmare. Software needs to explictely support it, and not much does. Instead we rather mainline devices.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Plasma's Discover allows installing and updating exactly the same apps as GNOME's Software Center do. There is no "segmentation" there?

And that "standard packaging format that works on all Mobile Linux platforms" is basically Flatpak, and we support it. Not sure why Ubuntu Touch doesn't, but that's their problem, even SailfishOS supports it nowadays.

Sadly no. Tbh although I loved the device, it's sadly dead in the water. No one is working on it and there is no mainline support to speak off. The display doesn't even work.

They're all searching for "solutions" but nobody is creating them. Funny how most of the people complaining about systemd aren't actually system devs themselves and thus have no clue what they're talking about.

Nobody (not even GNOME) is actively wanting to force systemd and keep out alternatives, there just aren't any proper alternatives offering the same kind of functionality and quality.

By far most planes in that screenshot are over land. You're right, when you have to cross an ocean to get somewhere there isn't really any alternative, but for all those over land they could've constructed and rode high speed railways instead. Countries like China and Japan show they can be proper alternatives, and there is no reason to use anything else for those distances.

Eh, it's a SUV. It doesn't excuse this but you shouldn't have bought that box of death on wheels in the first place.

Since https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1gdhy7u/experimental_flathub_release_of_newpipe_on_linux/ got a bit of traction yesterday, this is WhatsApp straight from Meta running on Linux desktop using android-translation-layer.

android-translation-layer (ATL) is a Wine-like approach to run Android applications on Linux. Rather than running an Android container like for example Waydroid does this instead implements the Android API. Note that right now it's very much work in progress and almost no app will work yet, but the fact that they have apps like Newpipe and WhatsApp running already is very promising!
