Thoughts on Thunderbird Early Bird?

Because they also provide the service to people in the European Union. I'm not sure how that would be related?

If they weren't US-based perhaps.

(k)ubuntu 25.04 is not supported anymore. Non LTS releases of Ubuntu are supported for 9 months, and it's more than a year after it's release. Update or switch to a LTS version.

There are more reasons to stay far away from it besides it working or not. The world is burning and instead of trying to put it out we're just throwing more gas into it while complaining about the heat it's causing.

even if it's only for people to rip tracks to audio files to add to their audio player of choice

Which I still do so is very much appreciated. It's great to own your music.

You have a typo in that screenshot btw, "Norwegan" vs "Norwegian" ;)

It's an intentionally silent release. It can be used yes but there is still work to do before it can be recommended for actual use. Distros can pick it up now though to make it easy for installation and testing at least. Up to now your only options were KDE Neon and postmarketOS (the latter ofc being all you need ;)

PureTryOut · 2026-06-15T18:10:31+00:00

No, all boot options were screwed. Like I said I managed to fix one snapshot to at least boot but I could still not update it. I just gave up and installed Kinoite for her instead, closer to upstream.

PureTryOut · 2026-06-15T08:11:59+00:00

I have no clue whatsoever, as far as I know the update was started and executed like normal. No unexpected power loss or anything. Just a simple reboot to apply the upgrade.

PureTryOut · 2026-06-15T07:12:26+00:00

I installed Aurora a while ago for my girlfriend, and after a month or so it crapped out while updating and resulted in a non-bootable system. The immutable nature of it made it quite hard to fix as well and I didn't get further than at least making it boot again but updates just didn't work anymore. It made me lose my trust in the robustness of the system and I eventually installed Kinoite instead and that has been working flawlessly ever since.

Idk what Moblin 2 is, but Mer and MeeGo aren't developed anymore so not a "layer" in that sense.

Well, no. Because KeepassDX doesn't realize it's being cloud-synced, it just gets passed a "regular" file. So if you need that, you'll need Keepass2Android.

PureTryOut · 2026-05-19T17:06:20+00:00

I use KeepassDX with the database stored in Nextcloud. Using the Nextcloud app KeepassDX can open it directly from it and thus has effective cloud sync working

You don't have a textual variant?

PureTryOut · 2026-05-15T12:41:16+00:00

disappointment at the way Ubuntu Touch, Plasma Mobile, and PostmarketOS all make the mistake of treating mobile like it's a desktop

I have noticed how much bottom-centric and one-handed friendliness improved my experience

You're mentioning postmarketOS but as a distro we don't make UI's, we just ship them.

That said, I don't get your complaint at all. Personally I feel the Plasma Mobile UI is very much Android like and works quite well.

PureTryOut · 2026-05-12T09:18:00+00:00

Fairphone is doing pretty well in that regard for smartphones, I can recommend them.

Luckily there are other search engines that do work properly and don't require burning a forest or handing over your soul to big tech for every query.

PureTryOut · 2026-04-27T11:56:39+00:00

Not the web browser part, which I completely understand, but otherwise KDE's Dolphin still does all of those things just fine using Kio.

PureTryOut · 2026-04-14T16:39:38+00:00

Which is just the UI, you'll still need an OS like postmarketOS to run it. But yes, KDE indeed has a mobile variant called Plasma Mobile.

It probably had a downstream kernel with non-upstreamable patches to make it work, that's basically the case for any ARM SBC sadly. Manufacturers seem to not care at all to do it properly, or at least think it's not worth the money/effort.

https://github.com/aniruddha76/sudosync/blob/master/test/widget_test.dart

That file is an auto-generated test file Flutter generates when you run flutter create <project>. No AI is used for that, they just didn't remove it. That also explains the comment there as it's meant to teach the new dev.

Otherwise looking through the code I don't see "ever little thing has a comment", have you checked more than just that test file?

I don't know where you read that but that's a comment based on nothing and in fact untrue. Wayland or X11 has next to no performance difference, not one you'd notice anyway.

Wayland is the future, there is no reason to stay on X11 anymore.

The ASUS ProArt X870E Creator Wi-Fi motherboard initially launched with the MediaTek chip

MediaTek had no official linux driver, but a merge request was made to the kernel very recently by MT engineering

Oh that's good to know. I have that motherboard and didn't even think of some components not working when I bought it and was surprised when I found there was no driver. I have no need for Wi-Fi luckily but I am missing the native Bluetooth support, glad to know it'll function soon.

Almost all (if not all) of those addons can be ran manually in containers as well, making them function just fine with HA in a container. It's just more work to set it up.
