@npub1d76…897u Endless was doing that for a while with a button that would flip the app and open Builder.
Also "Repair" implies corruption, which should both never happen and get fixed automatically when it's detected.

@npub1d76…897u Take: using proprietary software is perfectly fine, and should not be demonized.
This is like those idiots that try to minmax an ethical lifestyle in this society. It’s just superiority compelx, individualism and full of libshit and a broken understanding of the world.

The battery in my KDE Slimbook has swollen again, second time in 3 full years, not bad.
Last time I ordered it from slimbook directly, but this time I thought I'd also check if tuxedo also sells a battery since the Pulse 15 is basically the same SKU.
Slimbook: 180 euro battery + 25 euro shipping
Tuxedo: 119 euro battery + 22.50 euro shipping
1/3 cheaper, 1/3.. Same exact battery most likely, all specs much and all.
Guess will go with Tuxedo

@npub188q…3jlx Hey this was a good video despite not agreeing with the conclusion. You touched on a lot of pain points and issues with existing tooling and how things are presented to users.
There are a lot of reason on why image based/immutable distributions emerged and a couple advantages that are not generally covered/explained since they are mostly implementation details.
I fell the story is gonna end up very similarly to how we built Flatpak, and how it took over despite being immutable.

@npub1d76…897u @npub12f7…lkxh did you just say "real GNU/Linux" unironically? You are hanging with the wrong crowd 😆

I wrote a blogpost about developing GNOME using systemd-sysext
I promise this tool will make you happier.
