Actually, there is a company that makes resin printed children’s glasses for about €200 a pop. My son tried them at the opticians and I was impressed by the finish and flexibility. Just to say that 3d printed glasses are really commercially viable.

Dumbledore!

You could install ChromeOS, but afaik you can only install Android apps on certified devices.

Both GNOME and KDE are first-class DEs in Fedora - stability is a non issue. You can install both if you want and select your choice at the login screen to just switch back and forth. The only thing you might want to keep in mind is that both have their own prpgrams, like file managers for example, so you’ll have two programs for the same task.

Performance is a wash, really, with a halfway modern setup. Your browser will be consuming way more resources than the desktop by far.

Compatibility is also a non issue nowadays, both implement the Freedesktop standard and are fully compatible with each other.

I’m pretty sure that the installer is the same for all major spins.

Hope you have fun with Fedora!

I installed Bluefin on my mother’s laptop and it’s like a Chromebook for her. She just wants to surf and consume media, and the OS stays solid and out of they way.

Atomic distros are the biggest advance for Linux in recent years.

It’s so depressing. Recently there was a scandal that some members of the AfD met to discuss forced deportation of German of foreign descent. 1939 Nazi-level stuff.

Many demonstrations followed and the quiet majority thought that was the end of it. But all those followers just lapped up that remigration-cool-aid like it was nothing. A mass stabbing incident shortly before the vote didn’t help either.

And everyone knows that they’re Nazis being funded by Russia and nobody cares. The public with half a brain is teetering between not taking them seriously and being paralyzed by shock.

Got it, so I should be safe if I print it in PETG. Thanks!

I’m not an expert on missiles, but this image made me wonder

That looks like a spline with a groove for ball bearings. OK, maybe the explosion forcibly removed all ball bearings but one, but the real question is: shouldn’t that better be lubricated and not all rusted?

Here’s the link in English https://en.defence-ua.com/news/russia_used_kn_23_ballistic_missile_from_north_korea_in_ukraine_strike_missile_missed_target-11420.html

Ukrainians are dying daily and have been for 2 years…

You mean since 10 years, when Russia invaded Crimea.

The roof is on fire

Russia’s reaction will be extremely interesting. I read somewhere that they said that an attack on their early warning systems will be countered with nuclear force.

I’d like to know how many of the poor souls on the frontline aren’t Russian but Indians, Syrians, etc… that got shanghaied into service.

Having had both, I can say that with the framework you get a much better display, but you lose the trackpoint. The framework has better repairability, but has less IO. The hardware on the framework is well supported on Linux, but can be hit or miss on thinkpads, especially newer ones.

The only thing I’m really missing on the framework is the black thinkpad chassis - can’t really get used to the aluminum.

Reading about Bluefin got me so interested that I just installed it on my laptop. After updating, it’s still at 39. How do I update it to 40?

EDIT: just figured it out:

sudo rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin-dx:latest

I’ve been using Fedora for many years (Nobara is just a fling) and updates were always remarkably stable. That being said, if you’ve played around with the configuration you might have issues, but if you stay with the standard install you shouldn’t expect problems.

Thanks, kind person!

The EU is a relatively large market, and it wouldn’t make economic sense to develop and produce EU-specific devices. I’m pretty sure you’ll also be seeing replaceable batteries.

How do they fly without the recoil flipping them over?

After I printed a thing I was able to reconnect wireless about five-six hours later.

Thanks for all your suggestions! My working theory is that either the electronics are dying or a connectivity issue, that the device is trying to connect to an update server or whatever.

The former would be a poor show for a device with just 500h of usage, and the latter would be really really bad programming. Either way, it’s a problem with a relatively easy workaround!
