  • Which Distros Are Doing Best Currently?

  • Wait, MX has finally been supplanted by superior options? Unbelievable!

    (Still feels like an outlier when you consider actual popularity of distros)

  • Can this be used to root Android phones?

    If yes, it can be useful. If not, it's potentially problematic

  • I REALLY want to try PlaMo, but I wish I could use Mobile Linux on my phone. I can't, but oh if I could, or if I could run PlaMo on Android, it would've been great. I once even "riced" my phone to look like Plasma Mobile.

  • An update on the X11 GNOME Session Removal. The X11 session for GNOME 49 will be disabled by default and it’s scheduled for removal

  • I know, right? Quite ironic that their own devs were going on about how unhappy they were with GDM dropping X11 session support.

    Ubuntu 25.10 drops support for GNOME on Xorg

  • I seem to vaguely remember it working on Hyprland a while back, though it's possible I'm misremembering things. Also, idk about it on Nvidia.

  • How does one even get to add search plugins on Qbittorrent? And how do you make sure they're any good i.e you only visit the good ones?

  • An update on the X11 GNOME Session Removal. The X11 session for GNOME 49 will be disabled by default and it’s scheduled for removal

    Jump

  • Yeah, but Canonical have stated they want X11 session support (for GDM to be able to launch, not necessarily for GNOME's X11 session), for 26.04 LTS, for one last LTS.

  • Will kernel-level anti-cheat ever work on linux?

    Jump

  • All true. And yet, plenty of people do want to play those games. And there are other games (Borked) which also cannot be played no matter what. Really annoying, that.

  • Obligatory Fuck Denuvo. If I had virtually infinite money, I'd do a hostile takeover of Denuvo and burn it to the ground.

  • How will they reconcile this with Ubuntu that wants 26.04 LTS to still be able to launch X11 sessions from GDM?

  • For me, the endgame is Fedora. Your mileage may vary, however.

  • Depends. Do we count in-app purchases of apps I've modded or obtained pre-modded? Do we count the cost of films as one-off rentals/purchases, or do we count them as subscriptions?

    If we consider games as buying one-off licences for them that I kept in perpetuity, it would be in the few hundreds, probably about £400.

    If we include streaming, as a subscription service that I've used for the last decade roughly, then 10×12×£10 (assuming a tenner a month), we're looking at £1,200 saved for streaming.

    However, at least 20-30 films have been downloaded by me personally, so assuming a cost of about a fiver per film (idk how much films go for these days), we're looking at another ~£700.

    But also, we have to include ad-free YouTube as YT Premium. And even if we're to assume that YT Premium is anywhere close to the service I provide myself with, i.e downloading things I actually keep as digital files forever, it would still cost a lot. About 5 years of YT Premium would be (according to ChatGPT because I didn't want to research price increases), just over £800.

    But I've also watched both Netflix and Disney+ exclusives, namely Squid Game and The Mandalorian, so I guess streaming would've been much more expensive?

    Also, we have about a year of Spotify, which ChatGPT (easier to give more accurate estimates) claims is just over £140.

    Adding to that, apparently the cost of Netflix over the same period is just over £1,500, so that changes the total.

    So far, £3500, not counting in-app purchases in modded games. If we count that (which is ridiculous cuz I would never spend that much money on games, even if I was a liquid trillionaire (meaning having £1T cash)), we'd probably be looking at something in the hundreds of thousands if not millions.

  • After 25 Years, Linux Format Magazine is No More - OMG! Ubuntu

    Jump

  • I wanted to buy the last issue as Memorabilia, but their site is quite confusing.

    When you try to buy it, the May 2025 issue on MagazinesDirect (where they point you to) shows the issue from two months earlier, (Make Linux Mobile) as the May 2025 issue, which I find confusing. If I buy, which one would I get?

    Would I get "25 Years of Linux" or "Make Linux Mobile"?

    My guess is that the paper editions get published late with a delay.

    Edit: The June edition (published 29th April) has now appeared, so I guess that around the end of June, or beginning of July, the last issue will appear.

    1. Sounds like he's quite experienced in the area
    2. Appreciate the posting on the 2nd to avoid April Fools speculay
    3. That costume is an awesome way of presenting yourself to the community!
    4. Sounds good and all, but seeing as he wasn't among the most active people since 2008, are we sure there wasn't a more qualified candidate? Nothing against the guy, I'm just saying that surely there must have been more natural choices than him.

  • It's already available in pretty high quality from pirate stream sites.

    Also available to download as "PRE-HD" whatever that means.

    Edit: PRE-HD means it's the workprint
