Very very few companies I know of hire at that - except maybe in like New York and California where the cost of living is much higher anyways?

Thats because flatpaks treat each apps directory as their own $HOME so instead of $HOME/.mozilla its $HOME/.var/app/{app_name}/.mozilla

Which is still fantastic dont get me wrong. But Mozilla hasn't stopped hardcoding their Mozilla folder instead of the xdg dirs even throughf firefox issue tracker has had it on there for 20 years

This is why I use flatpaks. Keeps most of the offending the dotfiles in .var directory scoped to the app itself

My Thinkpad T14s Gen 4 has a few annoying bugs still on linux..

The WiFi chip will randomly be stuck at make 1kbps download speed after waking up from sleep

And occasionally on waking up sleep as well the screen never comes back on.

I wish I had something more compatible with linux even if I do love this thinkpad

I love Ubuntu's default yaru theme, and gnome extensions. It seems currently the best distro on my Thinkpad which is unfortunately pretty incompatible to most linux distros due to the shitty Qualcomm WLAN drivers.

Plus Ubuntus package repository is pretty robust.

The only negative thing IMO is snaps being kind of iffy. I don't think they are that bad but they seem a little too forced on the user.

Like Flatpak is kind of default on Fedora but they almost never force them on you.

Its not by the same dev. Tavi seems involved via the git commits but the project seems to mostly involve someone who goes by relan and another called IratePorcupine

I don't really remember signing up for mastodon so I tested it.

mastodon.social -> create new account -> agree to terms -> username + email + password -> click email verification

It's literally standard. Maybe in the past it was worse I vaguely remember giving up maybe a year or two before I made an account on mastodon.social.

I think the premise is:

Debian stable, slow release cycle

Arch bleeding edge, always latest updates to packages

Fedora - 6 month release cycle? So something in between?

Slammed/slams is my absolute least favorite headline trend of the past decade. So trash.
