Principal Skinner on Immutable Distros
  • Oh I definitely am out of touch, but I think I'll live with that 😄

  • Can someone ELI5 why some apps need to support X11/wayland?
  • The application needs to speak a protocol to be able to use it. If you use a X wm your apps need to be able to talk X's protocol to work, if you use a Wayland compositor your apps need to be able to talk Wayland's protocol (or run on Xwayland, which is basically an X server that runs inside Wayland).

    The wm/compositor abstractions only work if your apps know how to use them via the correct protocol

  • Does this (part about Steam play) mean that steam didn't install the native Linux version?
  • no, it just uses a flatpak like runtime (steam linux runtime) to make sure all dependencies are met, you're running it natively

  • Borders for LibreOffice Draw like in MS Publisher
  • Sorry if it's not a direct answer, but I can suggest you try inkscape instead. Of course it's a much more powerful program, and that comes with it being possibly a bit harder to grasp and definitely different from publisher, but it should be very easy for a beginner to make a simple birthday card collage.

  • ZeroVer: Cutting-edge software versioning for minimalists
  • To be completely serious for a moment, conventional commit + what-bump is really useful for doing semver

  • What's the state of Titanfall 2 multiplayer on linux
  • Since it's been revived me and my brother have been playing it a lot, last game we played was yesterday. Flawless experience, and really fun game!

    Might be worth mentioning, I'm playing it from steam with proton, he's playing from the EA app with bottles.
