Great work. Some of these fixes read like dwarf fortress bugs!

Same, but we knew it was going to be about tortillas didn’t we.

This is looking great!! One line is ambiguous: “From here, we can work towards an eventual 24.04 release over the summer.”

Does this mean work, over the summer, toward an eventual release OR work toward a release that will take place over the summer?! Either way is exciting, but one of those versions is astonishing.

Oh, haha, that’s a weird bug; thanks for the tip.

Thanks!!!

Lol, that was my first thought too, but I was surprised to find that a lot of people are using other stuff, so it got me curious.

Oh yeah, the setup assistant from garuda sounds like it might be helpful for him.

Oh thanks for the endeavor recommendation. It might be a bit too much of a change for us, but I’ll let him take a look.

I know that any distro can be a gaming distro in principle, but we don’t really know what changes we should be making to improve his experience, so that’s what we’re hoping one of the gaming distros can help with. I’m fairly comfortable with what I need to do for my daily use, but not so much for games.

Thanks, yeah my impression of Wayland was similar. Curious why not flatpak steam; that’s what he was using before, and it seemed fine.

I think he wants to try something different. He was frustrated that gaming on Linux requires “so much fiddling” (the kids today truly have no idea). So he tried installing windows, and that went about as well as you could expect (I did try to warn him, but he had to see for himself). So, he’s ready to reinstall Linux, and I suggested trying a gaming distro just so he doesn’t feel like it was a total waste of time.

Cold-brewing pop user here

Another happy pop user here! The business model for system76 is basically to make a distro that works seamlessly on the hardware they sell. Side benefit: their distro also works seamlessly on a bunch of other modern hardware, and they pay a lot of attention to quality of life features that make hardware customers happy.

Thanks!!! I’m curious and getting more excited about the new DE, but I’m not quite confident enough to try installing it. So reports like this are really useful!! I guess the streaming slowness is something that will be improved (I have no idea how).

When you say “some flatpaks still don’t like Wayland”, what kinds of issues do they have? Are they just annoyances, or more serious?

Thanks!! I deleted the outdated entries and it worked like a charm. I agree it’s an unusual enough situation that building a tool to do it is not worth the trouble.

Let me introduce you to your personal savior, cast iron.

I know it’s early days, and this wasn’t exactly something that could be planned for, but have you considered whether this community should be on a separate lemmy instance? What I mean is, it looks like the main motivation to reopen r/pop_os is to keep that content publicly available. But it shows the conflict of having that content on a platform that’s not controlled by the Pop project, or its users, or S76. So far I don’t imagine a conflict with the lemmy.world admin, but can that be guaranteed? Is there (at least planned) functionality for a whole community to move from one lemmy instance to another?
