The only thing I found bad about standard gnome's workflow is the multi workspace alt-tab being the only option. I prefer putting it as Super+Tab while using Alt+Tab as "switch between windows"
I used to be able to use PIP while playing a game.. This feature seems like it was removed, or a setting changed. Its a steam game satisfactory. Any ideas what may have changed?
I do not know what people do on Linux, but i use Debian Stable for 5 years, and never broke on me.
How to dual boot it
ok so I'm a bit confused... unfortunately with the windows end of life I moved to linux more specifically to fedora jam because I make music also. but in comparison with lets say linux mint 22. in fedora's device and firmware security both boxes are red/failed and again unfortunately my system is old GIGABYTE 78LMT-USB 3.0 for motherboard and amd fx6300 for CPU. An investment for a new machine is out of the table because I just can't afford it. 😔
Some developers like me are homeless! (No, not joking)
Hope that changes...
Apart from Proton VPN, Surfshark also offer flatpak of their GUI client on flathub.
Im from Michigan like Jorge and i havent heard of Babbages in years. Wow
They eventually became GameStop. Babbages was their beginnings, but there was never any near me. Had to order through magazines or Circuit City.
GNOME + Forge is why I will probably never use any other DE.
Forge is now unmaintained. I've given up on tiling for now and am waiting for the official GNOME tiling.
Have you mentioned NixOS in this podcast?
For like 1 second.
@Trafotin def not enough
@@sher1x165 even 1 second is hours too much of nixOS
Excited to watch/listen! Always interested in what Jorge has to say, even if Bazzite might not be the perfect fit for me, it worked really well and am grateful for its presence and competition!
Great Podcast. Also very interesting that some companies help a little bit.
I have been really happy with Aurora and Bazzite. I don't have to tweak anything or add something. It's all there for what I need it for.
Bluefin and I believe Bazzite too has `ujust install-resolve` that will just setup Davinci Resolve in a distrobox (davincibox) and it works really well. Even works on an Intel iGPU (although for that you have to change it to launch with rusticl in the .desktop file)
That ujust recipe is only for Bazzite. This will be brought up in the review.
@Trafotin it might not be on GTS, but it definitely is on :lastest and :stable. I swear I didn't get drunk and set it up somehow without the ujust command
NGL when i asked if you are still running bluefin, didn't expect a full blow interview.
I have installed Bluefin on a potato. Or rather a Chromebook. An £80 HP 11a G8 I'd flashed it a while ago, and it runs Debian 12 from an external SSD because the onboard nvme device is only 16GB. Its running Bluefin albeit rather slowly, from an external pen drive. The problem with that chromebook is an uncontrollable throttling bug with the CPU, but I love how the desktop resembles my old Acer netbook over ten years ago running the Ubuntu desktop.
The school issued Chromebooks I deal with are okay, but I don't really know what they are doing. They have touch screens because there are some Android apps kids use at school.
@@Trafotin The main reason I wiped ChromeOS was that the 16GB soldered in SD card wasn't big enough to support ChromeOS and the Linux subsystem that is now available. Tried a a few times but it was constantly bitching about lack of space. I've probably got the cheapest nastiest Chromebook ever made! Its kinda functional, but it is a potato!
As a novice linux user, I'm loving fedora, i know it's kinda a corporate distro lol and im loving it, bazzite was meh for me but it was likable so I decided to try fedora, it's a little more work to set up but after a month of tinkering it's been 6 months of only customizing tinkering that was for fun, it's been so solid and I have not broken it lol even once
@@naderz4064 the only problem is that every 1 year, when the updates are gone, you have to "upgrade" ... if it works
Really enjoying the conversation. Subscribing to Trafotin to hear more in general. I hope Jorge does more of these kinds of videos, as well.
addressing 2:14:12 Can I make my own image without a registry? You can actually. You can use podman to build an image and either self host your registry and push the image to that registry or push it to an oci-archive which looks something like this: podman push $(IMAGE_NAME) "oci-archive:$(ARCHIVE_PATH)/$(IMAGE_NAME).tar.gz" and then rebase with: rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-image:oci-archive:/var/home/user/path/to/myimage.tar.gz (make sure to use absolute paths and no symlinks so /var/home) If you change to path of the archive you have to rebase again. to update you just issue the build command again and then rpm-ostree update I made like a really hacky Makefile for my raspberry pi (no github arm runners yet) running CoreOS that uses a systemd timer to "git pull" and "make update" every once in a while. If you just install a bunch of packages, enable services etc then it works fairly well for it.
I say it like Genome. Like in DNA stuff.
How do you have dark mode? The latest Windows version (1.26) does not have a dark mode option.
This is Linux and on Linux, you can theme some windows, more than your phone or macOS. macOS also themes based on your preference of light or dark theme.
Finally a linux Guru accepting the fact that "installing linux apps is just one comand line away" is a myth. In the end, we have it even worse than Windows/mac just because of the multiple/distro specific packages to choose from. Visiting the official site still is the best way to get the latest and best supported version.
Idk, on Kubuntu I just installed using normal installer and it works.
I feel like I agree with a lot of the things said here. But not how you argued them.
How is firefox outdated? Outdated in the sense that by default on Alpine it’s outdated or
The version in stable is frequently behind on updates. An alternative is to use the Flatpak or spin up a openSUSE or Fedora Distrobox with Firefox. Truthfully, I have not tried the edge repos, but they might be a better place to live.
@@Trafotin OK makes more sense.. I also have noticed besides more updated packages in edge repo there is a lot more packages like Chocolate doom is only available in testing repo of edge

How about instead of TH-camrs e-begging for themselves, they beg for viewers to donate to FOSS projects instead? It's especially disgusting when those same channels also have regular sponsorship money, but continue to beg for Patreon/Chat donations in order to "keep the channel going".
Everyone has to eat and creators can't just beg on behalf of developers, nor should developers rely on word of mouth of creators alone. Developers need to advocate for themselves.
I think at the very least, we should normalize the culture of promoting monthly support at a small amount (obviously not requiring it) for a distro/project. People shell out unknown sums of money for streaming services without even realizing it. There came a day I decided to pick a distro (in my case, Mint), stick to it for a while, and contribute monthly for as long as I use the OS daily. A good distro is worth subscribing to, because every minute you spend in Linux is one less minute Microsoft is stealing your Windows data (especially now with Recall).
elementary does that, but only upon installing an application or downloading the ISO. I don't think they were successful, but their developers were very intentional about bringing that culture upstream. It's where Flathub got their payment platform from and where libadwaita was born for GTK.
Credit where it's due, that first point is something we should all be doing as human beings, regardless of who or where we do it in. I will say though, I don't really understand the complaint about the low quality of video content (at least in the clips you show) especially if that percieved low quality is more in the video department. As long as the audio doesn't sound like it's recorded in an abandoned warehouse or on an Xbox 360 headset mic, I think viewers can forgive the video's crappy appearance, and especially if the content itself is applicable to anything else.
The problem is the video is supposed to show slides, but the slides are either not visible or even lower quality than whomever is speaking. It's a travesty.
@@Trafotin Yyyyyikes. Fair enough, then.
I agree with the main points but changes to EU law via the C.R.A. may limit the ability of devs to accept any form of compensation for their work unless they certify commercially compliant with CRA. Apart from that, software devs may not have the business skill or marketing skill to effectively push for support. I'd like to see more FOSS Co-Ops when devs pool their fundraising efforts. But we already see how ego gets in the way in FOSS
If anyone would like to get a bit more in the weeds of GNOME development, Georges Stavracas livestreamed* every other week, -sometimes in English and others- in Portuguese; It's pretty cozy there. EDIT: I hadn't checked his channel in a while and apparently all of his recent content is in Portuguese. Woops!
He hasn't been active as of late, but the work he has done with GNOME, portals, and OBS is thankless. Unfortunately, I don't know Portuguese.
Being an active user of the fediverse I've become very familiar with what gnome devs are doing. not all of them are against features. it's just the loudest ones.
I use gentoo. therefore every app i install comes directly from a code download link directly from the devs of each app themselves. it's just that my gentoo settings automatically compile all apps with patches and tweaks that turn them into gentoo packages, making the resulting builds different from what the app devs would get themselves. all the compiling happens on my own computer though.
also, if a upstream developer wants to deprecate or delete a version of their code, for example if they think it's too old or insecure, then it actually prevents all gentoo users from installing or reinstalling that version of the app until either the users or the gentoo upstream study the situation and replace the download URL with a newer link to the code. that's because gentoo users trying to install the package when its source code URL has 404 will see 404 until the issue is resolved. in my opinion this makes complants upstream developers sometimes make about downstream packages being broken or outdated, not apply at all to gentoo, since gentoo bypasses the normal packaging distribution pattern and relies directly on official source code links.
Why not use nix to install davinci resolve?
I use Fedora Atomic and I can't use the Nix package manager.
@@Trafotin ah, i thought nix works on every distro but after looking i saw that it was probably more work than its worth. I just thought to add this because using nix seems like less of a hassle
Appimage FTW!
It's pity for me that tablets (especially developed for "desktop" OSes, not for android and others) are not widespread. GNOME suits touchscreen really good. When I come to linux, I used it on ASUS transformer laptop/tablet until its' touchscreen broke. Still miss this experience.
Panos is a master of tech poetry. I like his presentations.
He recently did a cringe interview with the Verge.
@@Trafotin he is a master of tech poetry. His style has always been like that. Always.
I actually don't mind all the great ideas GNOME has and how they do things differently. I just want a taskbar (Windows jargon) or dock (Mac jargon) so that I can point and click to switch between apps. Something simple like that, to me, trumps all the other great workflows the GNOME team could think of.
Huge thanks for this video - it allowed me to finally come to a decision after going back and forth for days. System76 not quite there yet for me. Cheers!
Going off of privacytest., it seems better than TOR (unless you wanna browse the deep web); But worse than Tor over Brave; especially if you want to login to anything as part of Mullvad's foundation seems to be blending in with other users. I personally see being unable to save logins as a non issue as there are open source password managers & it's a great security measure over the human error of: opening a document file that grabs your browser data in order to have a copy of your browser & gain access to your accounts; just like what happened to Linus Tech Tips / Media Group, & other TH-camrs.
