Right. So my fairly recent Solus KDE install with KDE 5.12.x includes MariaDB for no reason at all? Time to spank the developers then, as the Enlightenment...

[Vistaus]

Because Canonical wasn't looking into these issues before ...

[Vistaus]

Lara is getting old, but she still wants to look young which is why she uses a lot of make-up ...

[Vistaus]

I agree about Arch breaking. But I don't agree that rolling release = minimal regression testing. Solus and Manjaro are rolling, but they do regression...

[Vistaus]

Neither does gThumb, but it does allow Ctrl+scroll for zoom....

[Vistaus]

Maybe you should also tell that to Linus, given the fact that the Linux kernel has nothing but RC's......

[Vistaus]

But they also don't necessarily target stable distros. Corebird, for example, requires GTK 3.20 or higher and Ubuntu 16.04, despite being the current...

[Vistaus]

Doesn't work that way for any operating system? So Arch, Solus, etc. always do a proper stable release? I've never seen any release with those distributions...

[Vistaus]

No. I'm using Solus, so I'm not talking about Ubuntu's implementation. Those 32-bit libs need a few hundred MB for Steam, sure, but I also use Wine which...

For tips & tricks on how to customize it for tablet/2-in-1...

A mouse? But isn't the main complaint of many people that GNOME has been designed for mobile/tablet usage?...

[Vistaus]

It won't run better or faster, but it *will* save a lot of space without all those 32-bit libs....

[Vistaus]

It performs very good on my quite low-end hardware, so I think it's a bug in 5.13 (which is to be expected given the fact that it's still under devel...

[Vistaus]

Yeah, I think he meant that he switched from a GTK-based desktop to a Qt-based one....

[Vistaus]

Alright, in that case the Wine team needs to update their About page 'cause I clearly see:

"Approximately half of Wine's source code...

[Vistaus]

That's right. But the argument was that Valve should make the Steam client 64-bit. Sure, not littering your system with 32-bit libs is a nice feature...

[Vistaus]

You mean the Intel GVT-g thingy or in general? If you mean the latter, then GNOME Boxes is an easy alternative for VirtualBox using QEMU....

[Vistaus]

Yes, it's superior by a lot....

[Vistaus]

Yup, in fact: a lot of new games have been released recently for the C64, very impressive: https://www.instagram.com/p/BhWJPmegXFX/?taken-by=epsilon2...
