What? Why would that be?...

[jo-erlend]

My guess is that the goal is to create a boot loader for Windows that is able to use btrfs. I'm guessing the boot loader has to be open source because...

Nobody is deciding anything for you. You are entirely free to create your own GNU+Linux distribution based entirely on your own decisions. You have no...

Is Proton only used with Steam or can it be used as an alternative to Wine?

In my hand, I have a laptop that was manufactured on September 21st 2009. It has absolutely no issues with Unity. I can promise you there's absolutely...

You probably think that Linux is mostly volunteer work. It isn't. It's mostly commercial and that's a good thing. Neither GNU or Linux has ever been a...

I don't believe that you're able to show the desktop and double-click an icon in 0.2-0.5 seconds, which is the time a moderately slow keyboard user spends...

Wineland was the name that the vikings used for America. Knowing how the Linux community handles disagreements, it could lead to popcorn shortage....

Unity 7 works well, but it would be nice if more people cared to maintain it, possibly figuring out how to keep the features while removing the Ubunt...

That is nonsensical. The GPL protects small businesses. Large businesses doesn't need this protection, so they could just use a permissive license. As...

I'm only asking why it is not possible for one phone to get a kernel patch when so many others have the same versions of Android and does. You say it's...

[jo-erlend]

But that's a completely separate issue, isn't it? The question wasn't how difficult it is to bring up Android on a new device, but supporting existing...

[jo-erlend]

I ask you, because you seem to think that the reason they stop supporting Android devices once they've sold them, is because supporting them is difficult....

[jo-erlend]

They sell hardware. What do they have to gain by supporting the software once the device is sold? A lot of people would prefer to buy cheap devices than...

[jo-erlend]

Except for removing the desktop management from the FM and adding it as extensions to the shell itself. I think that it would be a bad idea to hardcode...

[jo-erlend]

I'm not sure what that means, but if you want icons on your desktop, including shortcuts to apps, you can just switch your file manager from Nautilus...

[jo-erlend]

No, you don't need to use an extension. Your file manager can provide the icons, as it always has in Gnome. Gnome removed this from their FM because it...

There has never been support for desktop icons in the Gnome desktop shell. Not in Gnome Panel and not in Gnome Shell, until the appearance of the desktop...
