That’s the thing with AMD drivers, they’re the damn near perfect software. Doing lots of stuff yet you’d never know it’s there. It stays nicely out of the user’s way, you don’t even have to think about installing them and shit just works

Then there are the Nvidia drivers

So by that reasoning all Microsoft software is open source

Not that we’d want it, it’s horrendously bad, but still

I’m also pretty sure that that doesn’t matter as the second that these file hit the internet, there were over 9000 copies.

I will never understand why the vast majority of those mostly awesome effects were dumped and never added to KDE.

I LOVE the 3D desktop cube and actually used it as a tool and as a bling to show off. After some 5 years without, KDE finally brought the cube back but now only under some weird ass key combo and only as useless bling.

KDE, bring back the eye candy and make it useful eye candy, please!

I don’t hate it at all, if this were an option, especially if the hair would move, I’d consider it…

What’s it with the Wayland hate?

X did a great job for decades but it’s old, it never was designed for modern day requirements, let it retire gracefully instead of dumping on it’s replacement, maybe?

I understand there are some apps that still require X, those at some point will be / should be / have to be updated, but I don’t see that as a reason not to want to move forward to something better

Reverse proxy still goes over a port

Will this make it in Kubuntu 26.04? That’d be awesome!

Wine Is Not an Emulator

Is there a panel for the pragmatist that just goes with what works, with open source strongly preferred?

Not loving canonical, I hate snap with a passion, systemd… Meh, mixed bag

But in general, I’m very happy with Kubuntu, it’s been my main os forost of the 25+ years that I’ve used a Linux desktop. It’s very easy to use and has mostly been very reliable, especially the server variant. KDE desktop always has been awesome

To have it as ab option, great. I believe KDE already has this? Computers should work the way the user wants it, so a middle click should do what the user wants it to do.

Removing it completely would be insanity

Interesting!

Can this work server side as well? I’d love a good PDF toolkit to integrate as a backend into my open source system

Most important missing detail though: reliable conversion from HTML to PDF

I’m currently using wkhtnltopdf and it gets unreliable results at best, especially with layout (CSS)

Any suggestions on what tool could do that best?

I’ve used Linux Desktop both personal and at work since 2003, I guess I got lucky with where I worked, they always allowed it as long as I could do everything that needed to be done.

Then again, I was either the owner or CTO level for the last decade or so, and just made those decisions myself.

Now I’m trying to push my current company to switch completely to Linux, and it ain’t easy. Not because of Linux, that part is fine and whatever easy, but because Microsoft worked hard to ensure you can’t escape their fucking clutches.

Moving away from teams, for example, will be a tough one, because most of our customers and government have complety relented to Microsoft, and you MUST use teams to talk to them.

So then what? Use different messengers internally and externally? I’m still not sure how to get rid of that part, but for the rest, we are going off the microshit soon

That is the problem though, isn’t it?

We’re at a point that AI is shoved hard in everything and your mother, yet actual useful applications for AI barely get any attention.

It’s all about the useless and criminal like chat bots, nudifier apps, and the hilarious claims that AI really can do software development

It’s all pushed by lying psychopaths who convince empty headed politicians (seriously, we need a required IQ test or something for people who want to become politician) to invest billions in their bubble balloons.

Those billions are them used to build new datacenters that nobody wants and which destroy the environment in all sorts of creative ways

This is not a tool used wrong. This is somebody inventing guns and now everybody wants to shoot those guns at everything and your mother.

If tomorrow AI and the knowledge we have about it would completely disappear from the world, it would be a better place.

I’ve had similar issues using CSF firewall. They just pushed out updates that apparently support docker a little better but I still have to fight with that to get that working, I don’t know if that will fix it, but give it a try

This would be hilarious is not half the world is pushing for this shit

Imagine a federated system that allows everyone to host this and everyone can vote on a designated target

Ticketmaster is being a dick? Vote! Ticketmaster is now ddossed until it makes hard changes to its policies and brings prices down to like 10% of what it is today

Boeing continues to focus on money only, not safety? Ddos until it changes

The Cheeto is murdering innocent people again? The entire world will ddos everything US until he’s removed.

I know this won’t ever happen, but I see this as potentially useful in making the world a better place for everyone

Using immich for photos, going to set-up nextcloud and onlyoffice for the rest

AI bots killing the internet again? You don’t say
