Quoting: nenoroBefore this news

What element has changed their mind ?
Everything is changing in rapid pace right now in our world. They can get on for a ride or stay with their old stance and wither out. What times being alive for Linux gaming and towards platform agnosticism :woot:

Quoting: GuestUbuntu will get a lot of hate for the switch to snap for Firefox even though this is driven by Mozilla and a lot of the arguments used against it just aren't true anymore. Frankly I think it this move makes perfect sense and I would wager that the vast majority of users won't even notice the change
It does make perfect sense but you know haters will hate. They can use whatever they fish if they don't like what's being offered. Sadly they don't seem to get this in the midst of their negativity i suppose :wink:

I never had issues with snaps nor flatpaks!!

Quoting: scaineArch vs Debian. Gnome vs KDE. X11 vs Wayland. Urgh. Astonished that a 1% community feels the need to half, or even quarter its community to get one over on the other side. Really frustrating.
Exactly. We all should work on to make it go away finally. It is harming Linux

TUXEDO refresh the Polaris 15 and 17 laptops with new AMD and Intel options

Quoting: setzer22> The only GPU option is the NVIDIA RTX 3060 GPU

Why are all those linux hardware vendors so disconnected from the reality of the products they sell? Nvidia is *not*, to this date, a viable alternative for Linux day to day usage. It may pass as working after some shallow testing, but anyone that has to use an nvidia optimus laptop as their daily driver wouldn't dare shipping a laptop like this at such a premium price.

Horrible screan tearing, constant driver crashes and terrible power management issues. This is what you get if you buy Nvidia. Don't support laptop vendors that pretend to be linux friendly while tying you into nvidia's propietary software ecosystem. Run away while you still can!!
AMD all the way for me too

Quoting: scratchi
Quoting: JuliusHmm, that doesn't seem to be the case either. In fact it does seem to be some sort of installation script after all.
I guess it depends where you are downloading from...from their website's downloads, it appears to be an appimage file. I haven't checked itch and indiedb...

I'm having the same problem: how do i download this thing!? Cliking "recent builds" and http://www.ya2tech.it/downloads/Yocto-0.210309-x86_64.AppImage.zsync [External Link] brings but garbled mess to my screen:
