Emphasizing the role of downstreams (ex. Bazzite) in delivering to the needs of users, by providing a commons for Fedora-based gaming focused downstreams to acheive common goals.

I wonder what they mean by that and how that will materialize, how exactly will they help downstreams and if that will have any weight.

Thank you so much for RD, it’s awesome!

I dream of RomM integration. I wonder if Playnite for Linux will come first.

now that Affinity is coming to Linux

Wait, what?

Edit: I’ve only found this and if this site were to be trusted, I would take it with a grain of salt. https://techcentral.co.za/affinity-for-linux-canvas-next-big-move-could-reshape-the-desktop-software-market/274861/

Agreed, if you grew using another program, switching is hard unless it’s UX/UI is superb.

When I ditched Adobe, Inkscape was a breeze. GIMP is hard AF and Krita a bit easier but it doesn’t have the features I need. I ended up using Photopea, and now I’ve tried Affinity and it’s the best Photoshop alternative I’ve tried yet.

Collabora is looking pretty good so far. Still a few rough edges but easier than any other FOSS office software.

If it was posted on a FOSS platform like Write.as, Ghost or Wordpress, you would have gotten away with it. Even if you didn’t host it yourself.

AGPL works for me. Good to know.

I just avoid using “source available” and software that has artificially paywalled features, the most common paywalled feature is OIDC because most devs seem to think that it’s a business only feature.

I pay for Home Assist Cloud, because I want to support them, every feature is available if I wanted to self host it. I freaking love them.

The only exception being Bitwarden, although they have paywalled features in their selfhosted builds I don’t know of a better-for-me alternative. I could self-host Vaultwarden, but I pay for their subscription just because I want to support them.

My point is, if it’s justified, I’ll pay. Otherwise, I’ll keep using standalone RSS apps on my devices and just backup my OPML every once in a while.

Is the selfhosted version able to also take email newsletters? I hate them and I’m using https://kill-the-newsletter.com/ to turn them into RSS, but I wish I had an all in one solution.

Also, is it fully FOSS or is it open core?

Not me, my kids (4 & 7). I wouldn’t play a mobile game, I just want some apps that I can’t avoid and aren’t available on desktop.

F*ck yesss, Waydroid for the lazy like me!

This is freaking awesome

By supporting WebDav your app will instantly gain the possibility to sync with every OS and a gazillion apps. It is not the best protocol, but it’s everywhere and it’s very good when implemented well. For example, CopyParty’s WebDav implementation is blazing fast.

Afterwards, you could enhance the experience by supporting websockets so that contributors can build clients specific to your project. This will take much more time to reach the user with a usable sync app, but can potentially end up in a superior experience.

Can it use files already on my server?

Will it support WebDAV?

Looking great!

The heroes behind NVK and much more.

I bet it was done on purpose, to discourage companies and drive them to their paid services. Since it’s purpose is to serve as a stable testing build.

Office 365 has desktop clients too. In the case of Collabora context, if they give that away without a subscription, it can generate interest in their cloud services at a sustainable cost, since a large part of the desktop client codebase uses the same tech found in the web client.

I’ve tried several WebDav clients, and I’ve found that the great majority will work great. Their performance will depend on the server. For example, Nextcloud was slow. CopyParty was blazing fast, as if it was a local folder.

You might want to checkout CopyParty too, it’s UX/UI sucks, but you don’t need to see it, since you can use it with almost any client on any platform via any protocol.

He didn’t mention security concerns.

Let him use whatever he wants. He will naturally distrohop some time in the future.

The Flatpak isn’t working for me on Bazzite 43.
