Star Labs add an AMD Ryzen option to the StarBook Mk V

Gen4 SSDs are certainly a feature, but I think the key element here is that Thunderbolt 4 is only available with Intel. Quite a big drawback of the AMD version.

Steam Deck updates out for Stable and Beta, better Refresh Rate Switching

There’s people who still play d&d? How awesome.

My package hasn’t moved an inch since Fri evening, I guess German people don’t work on weekends, even in shipping companies.

Canonical going 'all in' on gaming for Ubuntu, new Steam Snap package in testing

I'd be happier with snaps if at least they started faster. 10 secs for FF from an NVMe drive, 40 seconds from a spinning drive in a recent Ubuntu is a joke.

There was no momentem for Steam machines. They were dead in the water the moment they were announced.

Sorry Arch (EndeavourOS), it's not working out any more and hello Fedora

I recently moved to Fedora myself and I’m now a fan. Ubuntu doesn’t do it for me any more and the Manjaro I was also using was just too much hassle.

If they wanted to stay relevant with the Linux crowd. Which they don't.

A new tool 'unsnap' helps you move from Snaps to Flatpaks

Quoting: CatKiller
Quoting: damarrindo you know what I think about snaps and Canonical's decision to make FF one?
Mozilla's decision.

From what I read, Mozilla asked for it, but Canonical made the decision to do it (as they would, since they're trying to promote snaps). Thank fsck there's choice and I'm on Fedora now.

I'm sure they'll go back to being Win-only very soon. They must be cutting their corners and letting go any unprofitable parts of their business and that obviously means us.

When I click on "The Wheel of Time" link FF warns me of a potential security threat listing a adtraction domain. Not cool.

Yesterday I was upgrading Ubuntu on an old Core 2 Duo machine with a mechanical laptop drive.

I wasn't surprised that it took 2 mins to boot, though suspend is rock-stable there so it'll rarely be a problem. But FF takes almost 40 seconds to start. Because it's a snap. I didn't have time to switch to FF from the repos, but do you know what I think about snaps and Canonical's decision to make FF one? I think you do.
