  • Oh wow. This was a huge update. Congrats on everyone working so hard in their projects.

    System monitor is what im most interested in rn. Very glad they managed to port it to gtk4. Not many apps are left now. Disks and Evince are the only ones that come to mind rn.

    Didnt know about the spanish dictionary app. Definitely a must have for me.

    Lastly, its just sweet to see a lot of apps using libadw 1.4. That sidebar looks really nice to me.







  • All my games work the same as a non inmutable distro. Steam, Lutris, Heroic, Bottles, Retroarch, all those apps are on flathub, so ive never felt limited in that regard.

    An annoyance i had with steam flatpak is when you configure multiple locations for installing games on the same drive. Steam will just show them all as “/var/cache/” no matter what youve actually set them to.

    From what ive read, Steam flatpak is not an option for you. Bazzite is a variant of Silverblue but it has set up an arch container with the latest version of steam. They did this bc they considered it to use too many undesirable workarounds. Maybe that could work for you.


  • It has the same options as right clicking on an empty space in a directory. Stuff like Create a new folder, Create a new file, that sort of thing. “Actions you might wanna make on this directory”. When you start searching, there is another button that appears and that one is the one that let you filter search options

    I dont see the usefulness of that button tbh. Its like it assumes good ol right click isnt discoverable on its own. Idk anyond who has a mouse and hasnt pressed right click ever.


  • Oh i wouldnt say its worse at all. I prefer nested replies all the way. Regardless, i still wouldnt say lemmy fits the forum format, again due to the way you access the most recent replies.

    In a forum thread, you go to the last page and youve found the latest comment. In a Lemmy post, even if the nested comments arent hidden, its not obvious at first glance which one is the latest comment.

    Also, if you “bookmark” a forum thread, youll get notified of any new replies in said thread. On Lemmy, you can check the latest comments from an entire instance or community. But not for a specific post.

    Again, id never phrase lemmys format as worse, for i greatly prefer it. But i wouldnt consider it a forum. It simply displays the information diferently





  • I like it too. Checked it out on the nightly flatpak build. Gotta say its unusual to have the hamburger menu on the left instead of the right, but its one of those things you get used to.

    I also hope the leftmost corner gets to have a button, since it looks too empty there. Ive read theyre considering adding a “global search” button Testing it, ive realized thats where the “copy/moving files to…” circle thingy shows up.

    I also noticed when shrinking the window’s width the sidebar collapses way sooner than before. This is bc of the search bar not using the whole headerbar anymore, so it collapses the sidebar in order to maximize search bar width
