KDE

We could do this already with flatpak apps

I installed protonvpn from flatpak and its working fine.

Took a while, but someone did eventually notice!

That would indeed be a nice feature. I’m sure they would welcome the suggestion!

System Monitor is very much still alive, and I’m pretty sure it is updated to Qt6. I was using it only yesterday on Plasma 6…

Well, now you mention it, the motivation here may be to reduce their bandwidth costs? Probably not 2 million, but every € counts…

The comments on Phoronix definitely took a racist turn…

My understanding is that it boots faster. That’s a nice thing to have on a container that spins up on demand.

That’s news to me - and a bit of a dick move.

New Thinkpads are still great Linux laptops, so there’s a steady stream of newer 2nd hand models coming on the market.

C# is much more recent than C/BCPL etc. What’s interesting, though, is how many of C these more modern languages are inspired by C. C is also very much still in use!

Snapshots are read only. Best plan is to rollback to a snapshot you think works, test it and if all is good use sudo snapper rollback to make the current snapshot the default. I usually reboot at that point too, not sure if it’s necessary though.

IIRC, Qt comes with its own declarative language. That might be why you can’t find any bespoke ones.

BTRFS for the OS partitions, ext4 for /home, tmpfs for /tmp. I rarely need to use snapshots, but I do use a rolling release. It’s one of those things you don’t need until you really fucking NEED it. Tumbleweed support is great - I can roll back a bad update in about as long as it takes to reboot.
