Languagetool's browser extension is no longer open source, which has me concerned. You can still point it at a local server, but yeah.

UWP 💀

UWP is Microsoft's "new" app format, it's what the windows store and the xbox use.

It also isn't compatable with wine, and my pet theory is that this was the entire point of it. Combined with Windows S mode, which doesn't let you install apps other than from the windows store, the goal was to lock down the windows ecosystem by having apps that can't be made to run on linux.

I remember seeing a compatability layer for UWP apps a while ago, and I am pleased to see that it has come this far. Great work!

Edit: wait this uses a windows VM. Still good though and lets people escape the windows ecosystem.

The problem with a central script repository is that bash scripts are difficult to audit, both for malicious activity, but also for bad practices and user errors.

A steam bug in their bash script once deleted a user's home repository.

Even though the AUR is "basically" bash scripts, it's acceptable because they use their own format that calls other scripts other the hood, and the standardized format makes it easier to audit. Although I have heard a few stories of issues with this, like one poorly made AUR package moving someone's /bin to /opt and breaking everything.

So in my opinion, a package manager based on bash basically doesn't work because of these issues. All modern packaging uses some kind of actual standardized format, to make it easier to audit and develop, and to either mitigate package maintainer/creator error, or to prevent it entirely.

If you want to install tools on another distro that doesn't package them currently, I think nix, Junest, or distrobox are good solutions, because they essentially give you access to the package managers of other distros. Nix in particular has the most packages out of any distro, even more than the AUR and arch repos combined.

I despise the way Canonical pretends discourse forum posts by their team members* are documentation.

I've noticed they have been a bit better lately, and have migrated much of the posts to their documentation, but it seems they are doing it again.

As this is developed, we will update this post to link to the new documentation and feature release notes.

Pro tip: You could have just made the documentation directly, with the content of this post. Or maybe a blog post. But please stop with the forum posts. They are very confusing for people not used to these... unique locations.

*Not that people are easily able to find this out when they don't give any indication that the forum post is something other than just another post by a rando. Actually, I'm just guessing here, based on the quoted reply, for all I know this could be a post by someone unrelated to Canonical. The account is 3 months, and the post itself is identical to a regular forum post from a regular forum member...

Has it been independently audited yet?

The glitched attraction

A fnaf fangame that is close enough to feel like fnaf, but has a twist: Every single level also involves a puzzle. While trying to survive enemies fnaf style. Although I've never played this game, I LOVE watching it on Twitch. I like to call it "Human's can't multitask: The Game".

Yeah, I read that manual but it didn't answer my question.

The big problem is that the arch wiki describes a setup with nested subvolumes first (in a subvolume below @ or whatever your root subvolume is), but then suggests in a tip to use a subvolume directly below the top level subvolume. The limitations mentioned in that manual don't seem to apply to either setup, as they would prevent swap from working, which is not the case. I have tested both setups and they work fine — or so it seems. I'm worried there is some hidden gotcha I'm missing.

in addition to that, some of those limitations simply don't apply to my setup, as I only have a single device.

Its like people only watched the opening scene and the one in which he murders Allen.

And the business card scene. But yeah, I think a large portion of people didn't watch the actual movie, and only saw those three clips on youtube (including me).

Upstart was better, but even Ubuntu, who was by the creators of upstart (Canonical) decided to switch to systemd after using upstart for a bit?

I used to triple knot my shoes and they would still come untied. Then I switched to the ian knot, and my shoes haven't come untied by themselves in forever.

Gpu passthrough, if you can do that will always be most performant.

If you want the qemu/kvm equivalent of what vmware workstation does, than look into virtualgl, which is very good (a wine port on android uses this to get good performace without direct access to host hardware), but it still may not be everything you want.
