The Linux Mint team produces excellent software for making the end user experience gorgeous.
My favorite bit of software of theirs is webapp-manager. I have it installed on my Pinephone, and it allows me to make “apps” from websites.
I love that they embrace Debian as an alternative base. Debian is one of my favorite operating systems
Linux Mint = Good
Gotta celebrate the little victories
I read so much bad news every day now, and then something nice like this pops up and I think “well gee maybe things aren’t so awful”
This ad blocking tug-of-war game is absolutely fascinating in so many ways. One cannot help but be entertained by the two sets of opposing engineers fighting each other for technological dominance
I love it
Yes, because it is permissively open source, not only are these companies free to build what they want - we are entitled to that same right. We therefore created LineageOS and GrapheneOS, and its really great.
There’s also a lot of motivated people getting regular Linux distributions running on mobile devices too, so we have that as well
Bazzite is my favorite Steam Deck operating system
I like VSCode because I can run it in a development container and because its the only FOSS IDE with an extension for IEC 61131-3 ST that I am aware of
Yes! The automatic updates are great for me and my family’s machines. System and Flatpak upgrades are done automatically, I never ever think of them.
Universal Blue has it too. They also have the “just” wrapper for not just system and flatpak, but containers as well.
Yeah, Arch Linux is beautiful as a container OS. I use it all the time.
I’m using Eternity too and its fsntastic
I was going to reply to the parent comment but read yours, and you’re totally right. Tinkering to make a custom Universal Blue image is very much encouraged by the devs, and we want people to share their favorite images. That’s how Bazzite and Bluefin started out, after all
The images with the nvidia drivers baked in are one of the greatest selling points for Universal Blue. Its the easiest and simplest way to run Linux with nvidia, hands down.
Immutable is awesome. The user instead uses flatpak, snap, and/or nix to install their packages and apps. If you want a mutable environment, you can use containers and their many system integration tools like distrobox.The system has rollback functionality thanks to ostree, abroot, or similar technologies, so in case an update goes awry, you can roll back to a previous working image. Update anxiety no longer exists for me
Blood sweat and tears went into this project and I’m so glad they’ve finally released version 1.0.0. Congratulations to everyone in the team!
I’m very happy!
