Yes you’re must likely correct. I was simply pushing back on the other poster talking like ubuntu releases other than lts are unstable/testing releases. They are intended to be stable and usable, which is certainly not the case if they include the core utils replacement as it currently stands.
A test suite from phoronix having issues is certainly enough of a canary in the coalmine that this stuff is not ready for showtime. You have been saying that non-lts ubuntu releases are basically unstable releases but that has never been the intent and is not even what they say.
https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle
Every six months between LTS versions, Canonical publishes an interim release of Ubuntu, with 25.04 being the latest example. These are production-quality releases and are supported for 9 months, with sufficient time provided for users to update, but these releases do not receive the long-term commitment of LTS releases.
Key words “production quality”. This sure doesn’t seem “production quality” to me.
Why would something that hasn’t reached sufficient test coverage, or that fails one of the most common test suites around, be put into one of the largest distros around, lts version or not? It’s honestly ridiculous
As for Windows apps, do NOT try to run them via Wine
I wouldn’t say that’s totally fair. Just like proton with games, wine keeps getting better, and full support is really a case by case basis.
I think dolphin (the KDE default) can pretty much do everything including dual pane these days
Just tell them to read the arch wiki page on AUR and take it seriously, IMO
I feel like these headlines are designed to be way scarier than the scenarios actually are to people that don’t know much about Arch Linux.
To reiterate, I don’t think there is anything wrong with using the AUR. I think that using an AUR helper that ties updating AUR packages to your pacman -Syu is a trap that people keep falling into despite the warnings in the wiki.
The wiki article :
The aur helper wiki has a fun red disclaimer at the top that no one reads
I like arch because:
Side note:
conflict when trying to just update things naively
Sounds like AUR problems. IMO using AUR helpers that tie AUR packages to your full system update command is a trap. AUR never professed to be a stable repository (in fact it’s the opposite). AUR has a place, but it should be used sparingly and thoughtfully.
Not that it is a business but is a specific kind of business. VC funded startups eyeing an IPO more often than not start doing things users are not happy with. Maybe tailscale won’t, but might as well be aware what kind of company they are acknowledge there is a decent chance of rugpulls
Using moltengamepad like this person seems promising https://selfmadepenguin.wordpress.com/2024/02/14/how-i-solved-my-gamecontroller-problems/

Fish and Kate hell yeah 🤜 🤛
so how is this not the default case in Windows?
It actually is now

Looks like its only optionally required by plasma-meta. I’m not familiar with it but it looks like a GUI for editing settings rather than something fundamental so I’d be surprised if uninstalling it is the source of your issues.
They’re useful for templates because the trailing version is resolved later
They’re not really comparable right? Wireguard being a direct vpn connection that requires you to have an open port that can reach the network hosting the vpn and tailscale being a layer on top of wireguard that handles connecting through NATs?
