I vaguely remember some money calculating-related project guy who received a PR that heavily optimized and updated the project. Since he was very busy and no longer really wanted to maintain the project, rather than reviewing and merging the commit, he gave the contributor complete access to the repo for them to maintain the project at their own discretion. The project was unpopular back then—when he looked back a few years later, he was surprised to discover that the project had racked up several thousands of stars.

I ate that Cookies and Cheese and yes, there's mozzarella in it. A lot of it.

I usually consider the ability to change anything about Linux as quite a big selling point so these distros seem kinda counterproductive to me.

Immutable distros are actually easier to customize and tinker with than traditional distros, while being safer. Example: Universal Blue

There were some talks to migrating all PolyMC Flatpak installations to Prism Launcher, which was achieved by marking PolyMC as outdated on Flathub's repo and marking Prism Launcher as the newer version, which will result in Flatpak clients replacing PolyMC with Prism Launcher while moving data over. The only thing users would notice is that the icon and name on the apps list changed, since all worlds and instances would stay in place.

Unfortunately I think they didn't continue with this decision.

Or a distrobox

Here in the Philippines, we're on full-blown Christmas decors since late August. Complement Halloween decor will be temporarily around a few weeks in late October. The Christmas decor is dismantled early February and replaced by Valentine's decors.

I find the complaints of other people on this thread weird, for me I see nothing wrong with early Christmas decorations, and your region is already too late anyway. But I do want to hear about why some people find this infuriating.

Tip: take a look at r/Linux and the Phoronix forums 😉

I swear I've seen this somewhere before, is this a repost?

The year of the Linux desktop will only come if supporting Linux becomes profitable. For that, companies need ways to make their software paid. Even though Flatpak is better than Snaps, they will flock on Snaps because that's where they can make profits.

Therefore for the sake of everyone, Flatpak must support paid apps before Canonical takes over everything.

Ah yes, XCFE, my favorite DE

Windows app for flashing ISOs to your USB. It provides additional options for flashing Windows 11.

1. Pre-installed tools such as a translator and tab bar on the left

2. More pre-installed themes and integration with Mica For Everyone (haven't tested this because I ain't booting to W🤢ndows)

3. Tighter on privacy than default Firefox

There are some others I may have missed because I got used to them
