This guy is so glaringly unintelligent that he makes Trump seem smarter.
Because CEOs in general lean pretty right?
Sure Blink is a fork of WebKit which is a fork of KHTML. But that was 1000 years ago. The biggest contributors by leagues are Google and Apple. Those are US projects. Trying to say they are European is nuts.
LibreOffice is German though and while OpenOffice was from Oracle, it was based on StarOffice which was German. So, the EU can claim that one.
NextCloud is a solid example too.
And, of course, there is SUSE.
Igalia (Spain) brings Servo (web browser) and Chimera Linux too.
Great to see them get them get back on track. PopOS has been a holding pattern for a very long time.
While this is an LTS release, they also say they will release 26.04 LTS in May (just 5 months after 24.04). So, clearly this is a bit of a final beta for that release, at least from a COSMIC desktop point of view.
They are already shipping hardware with the new COSMIC, so things are usable now. I have no doubt though that there will be a lot of improvement over the next six months before 26.04 comes out.
It will be really interesting to see where things go after 26.04 when they are not having to invest everything into just getting to the starting line. Will they continue to pour all this effort into COSMIC? It has a lot of potential.
I do not want to over complicate things but there is some information that may help given that you have NVIDIA hardware.
Linux is going through a technology transition in its graphics technology from something called Xorg (x11) to something called Wayland.
Mostly you do not have to worry about this. Don’t let it distract you.
Everybody will be using Wayland in a year or two but right now today, it depends on the distro and desktop environment you choose. For example, current Ubuntu will default to GNOME on Wayland. Linux Mint defaults to Cinnamon in Xorg.
Until recently, NVIDIA has been buggy with Wayland. Specifically, NVIDIA needed something called “explicit sync”. This has now been added to newer NVIDIA drivers, Wayland compositors, Mesa, etc. So things work great now if you use the latest versions of things.
Again, you may not need to know any of these details. So, why am I bring it up?
Well, if you have an “up-to-date” distro, NVIDIA will likely work well. But if any of the required components are not available or older on the distro you use, you may have problems with NVIDIA. Only “may”. It may also work fine.
To avoid problems, you can use a very up-to-date distro like EndeavourOS. Or you can use a distro that will default to Xorg for now, like Linux Mint.
If you use a distro with older software versions, like Debian, or older software drivers, like OpenSUSE, or that lacks proprietary drivers, like Fedora, NVIDIA hardware can be a pain.
The reason people recommend AMD or Intel for Linux is because none of the above really matters on that hardware. They are more likely to “just work”.
Again, I hope I did not complicate things. I offer all this just so you can make sense of things if you run into trouble. You probably will not. And in a year or so, none of this will matter anymore even on NVIDIA. On many distros, it already doesn’t.
As good as this comment is, neither has the range or targeting capability that the US does or that the USSR did.
The security council veto was designed to keep the US and the USSR at the negotiating table and off the battlefield.
If you drop the because, I agree.
America is not a signatory to the ICC ( wonder why ). They are not the reason that Putin was charged or why Brazil would arrest him.
October 2024. I cannot wait for that to happen!
The Motif look, what we are looking at here, is driven by the same UI guidelines that early Windows and OS/2 followed. You will notice a lot of similarity between them.
PHP is the landmine they are about to step on.
Well done.
That is like a colleague farewell card that says, “Four years already? It seems like only six months with all that we have accomplished.”

It is a very dumb law.
