Plenty of my family use linux (with gnome) because of me, but with Linux always the biggest issue is they don’t know how to install an operative system (1. Create usb,2. boot in it,3. install it) As easy it is, non-tech people are always are afraid of doing it, even partition is not a general concept.

The second biggest issue with gnome without dash to panel is too alien for them, they need to see what applications are open (me too…), the app menu is ok, they have phones.

Well, but XWayland apps should not be blurry now!

Blurry apps come from xwayland compatibility. Firefox and alacritty (or other terminal like wezterm or kitty) have native wayland, with no blurry check Archwiki for example HiDPI. With Spotify, live with it or use spot (gtk client). Hopefully next gnome release incorporate something like plasma, and then ctrl+ native in spotify increase its size.

Do you have a link providing clear info on that? Because I have seen only comments, no serious analysis on security whatsoever…

Well, basque indepence movement involved several deaths, including “civilians”, non politics or police related until 2000s, and people react quite pacific always.

Whereas catalan movement is basically pacifist with some roadblocks and protests and some riots. In front, the typical anti riot police, not fun… but kind of expected.

Honestly, I will be not surprised if this case ends in nothing as it is not clear it can hold in court …

Legacy apps have problems in windows also, I guess in MacOS now basically you are not able to run them, but 3 years ago I remember same issues with old apps, blurry or pixelated…

The main issue is gnome not letting apps to scale themselves, whereas kde has just a toggle for that. So in gnome you have consistent size across monitors (cool) but blurry apps when running in xwayland (horrible)

Xwayland apps (running in legacy xorg) are extremely blurry under fractional scaling, native wayland apps can have worse rendering but not very noticeable.

The easiest way of checking if you have doubts is install xeyes and launch it. if xeyes follows the cursor inside the app you are tesing is in xwayland, if not is pure wayland.

Electron apps have to be configured to use wayland, whereas If you are in Debian check Firefox (ESR) is using wayland or install it through the offical deb repo of mozilla the latest. I think in the archwiki are the envronment variables to check.

And, for 125% maybe is just worth to you to just scale text to 1.20 using gnome-tweaks and leave it at 100% the scaling. It is not fancy, but it works. I have to use 150% so is too obvious/ugly to just scale the fonts…

I guess you are looking for an android app? I use Oss Document Scanner, and I am relatively happy with it https://github.com/Akylas/OSS-DocumentScanner

I think the blurry of XWayland apps won’t be solved in this release, there were some news that may be combined with the settings and make Xwayland apps to be able to scale themselves like in KDE, if I understood it correctly

Hopefully Papers develop tabs, evince was always limited on that conpared to Okular…

Basically a good 1:1 , nice overview (three fingers up, three fingers down stop), and yes you can configure in gnome (through extension I know…) the three and four fingers gestures. Also, they are as smooth as a Macbook in my experience.

But then you have bad touchpad gestures… 😅

I combine OnlyOffice with its DrawIO plugin. Drawio is also cool standalone app for diagrams I can recycle) that also has tex typesetting for formulas.

Onlyoffice Is a bit annoying sometimes with sizes when going back and forward to powerpoint (common computer for presenting) but is more compatible than libreoffice in my experience. Biggest drawback is the lack of master slide mode, but I typically use the standard one.

It is looking very promising. I was a bit skeptic at first, but everything is looking quite polished. I am wondering, Will the terminal have support for images, in similar way to kitty or iterm2? And also another thing, Will the file manager has a three pane view? (macos finder, or ranger (tui) style)

I know those two things are missing from gnome equivalents, and are quite handful for productivity, at least for me. Being more advance than gnome, but simpler than KDE would make COSMIC appealing for a lot of people I think.

Not always, fils…

If you want to see a real percentage of the people want to leave check the votes, not a referendum that was only favoured by one part, thats why it was 90%.

Last elections and past elections was below 50% if I remember correctly, with PSOE and PSC (catalan socialists from PSOE).

Sanchez is as vile as you would like, but actually now is in negotiations to stop prosecution and do an amnesty, I think you haven’t followed news since 2017.

And honesty, indepence within modern democracy is complicated because the country belong to everyone and no one, is public. You cannot take your part of the state (Elon Musk style…) and expect other people being ok with it so easily.

And sorry, they are not opressed in colonial manner, they have representation, language, culture respected by the constitution as laws above all, and the same rights as all citizens in Spain.

With my x1 nano there is an option for s3, but ai didn’t see many problems with s2idle like 5-10% after 8h overnight

What is the battery life/performance compared to a X1 nano for example (similar size but x86)?

There is no snap in pop os unless you installed… Firefox and libreoffice are debs. The problem may be that the pop-desktop package is depends on too many packages, but not snap

I am not saying otherwise, total working hours have increased, but if you divide by workers have decreased, https://elpais.com/economia/2023-05-03/las-horas-trabajadas-alcanzan-las-cotas-previas-a-la-gran-recesion-tras-dispararse-en-el-primer-trimestre.html .

But if there were manipulation of data the amount of hours wouldn’t increase. There is a difference in saying the data is manipulated and saying the data don’t tell you the whole story, one questions the data and good faith, the other questions the completeness of the analysis.

Furthermore, the unemployment rate doesn’t tell you the whole story because working hours and salaries. The later have not increased meaningfully in the last 20 years… meaning people actually need to work more to have the same life level.
