Ubuntu has a diversity policy to explicitly welcome and encourage participation, mentioning that they explicitly honor diversity in sexual orientation among other things. It does not explicitly mention queerness.

A moderator made a bad a call. It sounds like there may have been some confusion about the word queer used as a slur vs a self-identification.

Upfront they describe two monocultures and then a thriving diverse ecosystem and then conclude that the thriving diverse ecosystem is the unsustainable option.

Yeah, Linux as a software ecosystem is complex and messy like a forest or the animal kingdom. It’s a feature.

Gimp already runs OK on ChromeOS, so I would expect the same on Android soon.

Because Linux runs in VM on ChromeOS, there were some annoyances and there will likely be some on Android.

Maybe they fixed it, but for a long time Linux on ChromeOS couldn’t access Yubikeys because Google choose not to expose those devices to the container.

And some keyboard shortcuts and mappings couldn’t work because again Google limited what the container was allowed to see and control.

And if certain kinds of problems happened, you ended losing both the apps and your data inside the Linux container.

Yeah, it will be cool to run desktop Linux from your phone. But if doing Real Linux Work on Chromebook doesn’t appeal to you, don’t expect it to be better on Android.

I have had more problems with two different Frameworks than most Thinkpads. Battery died, boot/power problems on both the 13 and 16, touchpad problem on the 13.

I prefer the concept of the Frameworks but can’t say they have worked better in practice.

ChromeOS Flex. Very low maintenance.

You describing a kill ring which is internal to the shell and not synced to the system clipboard. Nor does it work in GUI apps.

The benefit of universal bindings is not have to learn one method for GUI apps, another for terminals and a third for shells implementing the kill-ring like bindings.

There are already settings to change some of the colors used.

For the terminal in particular there is an option to hide the menu bar, making it look as Foot or Alacritty do.

My patch to add Copy/Paste keycode support to the Cosmic Terminal was merged!

The first time you accidentally type Control-C into a terminal and cancel an important process when you meant to copy some text it becomes a PITA.

Control+C is used to kill a process in the terminal and that shouldn’t be overwritten.

Agreed. The post didn’t suggest that.

Seems unnecessarily complex when Control+Shift+C works just fine.

For people already using programmable keyboards global copy/paste shortcuts are a nice perk.

I spend nearly all my day in a browser or a terminal and as I use a terminal and browser that already support this, the effect is 99% complete.

It appears to have the display functionality of swaybar, the default dock of Sway.

I have a kid about that age interested in games. There was definitely interest in social pressure to switch to Windows for gaming for the bigger selection and what friends were playing.

And: Fish implements aliases as scripts! When you use alias —save, fish creates as script with a function in it.

Did see that recently LA kept sending out orders to evacuate and didn’t know the cause or how to stop them?

Yeah, not sure how I missed this one!

For some cases I use “|| true”.

The idiom accepts that the preceding command might fail, and that’s OK.

For example, a script where mkdir creates a directory that might already exist.

Nginx has a number of compile-time optional features and they aren’t all enabled in the pre-built packages. For example, the ability to echo back HTTP requests for debugging.

I use QGIS, which needs to stay in sync with a number of Python packages and plugins. I have thought of using Nix for that, but am not sure if everything I need is packaged for Nix.

I’m using Conda now, a Python package member which seems more popular for this niche need.

I like the project but use DIY Sway.
