Afaik you can add kisak mesa ppa and, for compatibility reasons, and would be good to also update the kernel. But be careful, this can lead to instabilities or even black screen
Looks like they have put a lot of thought into it so I’m keen to see where they get with it. My concern with these kind of changes is that they often end up trying to guess what the user wants, which creates an unpredictable behaviour that is then more annoying than it is helpful.
Exactly, for this community is to blame. People mostly are against even minimal and anonymous surveys, telemetry and stuff. So, all they can do is just assuming that people want something or not.
Usually they are talking to active community members, whom, we all know that programmers and technical people.
And yet it seems to me only GNOME has this problem, and it has been there since Torvalds still publicly executing everyone in mailing list. XFCE, LXQT, hell, even KDE only has minimal complain about unexpected behavior. It seems to me that in a concerted effort to predict as much user behavior as possible, GNOME created this non existent “average user” that conforms to no one, and created this mess on their own.
Also, we are mostly against nonconsensual, non-explicit, or opt-out type of feedback. As far as I concern, efforts to point out to GNOME devs their faults are many to the point its a meme. It is also, not unrelatedly, a meme that GNOME denies these complaints because “the average users wouldn’t get it”) . I think it should be clear enough by now.
Consent doesnt mean agree in this context tho. And it is debatable whether using is consenting. Do I consent to all the shady shit Microsoft was pulling when I install windows? (Looking at the number of debloaters and their received support from community, that seems like a no)
This is like a mythical distro for me. I hear about it here and there, usually in the context of it being on top of DistroWatch and why that does not mean anything, but never really known anyone who actually uses it or recommends it.
That doesn’t make it bad or even obscure of course, because even an outstanding distro like openSuse gets very less screen-time nowadays. But somehow this is one distro I have never installed or even had the urge to find out more about.
I am using MX for a couple of years now, 5 or 6. I used Ubuntu for years and one time I saw MX top of DistroWatch so I installed it, with Xfce, I really like it, just some tweak here and there for the “panel” to have a taskbar etc, and that’s it. Superb distro. It’s on my work PC for years, I will switch to 23 soon.
I use it. It’s certainly a distro. For my laptop, I wanted something based on Debian to match my server, and i didn’t want to have to configure anything That’s pretty much it.
I don’t love it enough to recommend, but it’s doing its job well enough for me. Maybe it’s problem is that it’s boring.
I’ll admit, I haven’t really experimented with distros in a while. Not since I installed Debian on my server.
Personally, I consider that a feature. Most of my machines are on Debian Stable, though I do keep a distro-hopping laptop around which is on the newly released Mint at the moment. I just use Flatpaks for the odd application that I need the very latest version of (e.g., Yuzu emulator). I will give MX a try sometime, at least in a VM.
the thing it offers is no systemd, and the mx-linux gui tools to configure your system. Also the advanced hardware support (AHS) is a neat feature. They basically take Debian and make it slightly more user friendly. It’s just less well known than something like ubuntu or mint.
Man… I just installed kubuntu… but mx sounds like it may be worth it. What do I get over ubuntu for a desktop type workstation, that won’t do much except for Firefox, Spotify and minecraft?
You can't access about:config in the release version of mobile Firefox. Only in the beta or nightly builds. The beta version is reasonably stable to be fair although it can fluctuate.
This is true, but I encourage people to check out either mull browser or fennec. Both forks of Firefox on Android with privacy enhancements, the ability to use any Firefox store addon (this may be in release now I am not 100% sure) and access to about:config. I’ve not found stability issues with them either
I’ve been using fennec as my main browser for a long while now and it’s great
but I’d prefer Mozilla stop being blazingly stupid and stop fucking over people who don’t throw 2000 dollars at mobile devices that come with terrabytes of storage internally.
Not that I know of unfortunately. It’s been a while since I’ve been on iOS so I may be wrong, but I believe all browsers in iOS are actually webkit under the hood (what safari runs on). So any fork of Firefox for iOS would also be just that, quite different from desktop or Android Firefox. I did hear the due to some rule changes Mozilla may be working on a non webkit version of Firefox for iOS but that remains to be seen
I discovered mull only about a month ago, but yeah, its great. As close to Librewolf you’ll get on mobile. A limited number of extensions work, but my favs are there. Ublock, NoScript, Decentraleyes, Dark Reader, Clear URLs. It also has access to about:config and is available on fdroid. Great mobile fork.
I just share the download link to my file manager (MiXplorer) and I can pick and choose where the download goes.
It's not exactly what you want and some downloads (with redirects) might not work, but ever since i've used Mix, I use it exclusively to download everything from Firefox.
changes the Ctrl+Shift+T keyboard shortcut to reopen the last closed tab or last closed window in the order they were closed or restore the previous session if there aren’t any tabs or windows to reopen.
Amusing that Firefox gets worse to match Chrome here. Oh well.
Previously, ctrl-shift-T only reopened tabs and worked per-window. I think it's much more intuitive that way, since it's cleanly separated from other features (ctrl-shift-N) and works kind of like ctrl-T.
Some sites broke for me since interacting with those consent banners is a requirement for working (e.g. playing a video). I don’t remember which sites but now I’m back to using ConsentO-Matic, which denies those consent forms if possible.
I remember seeing that when it was first released, but I didn’t like the idea of it allowing cookies. Like, I do care about cookies and I don’t want them. I just don’t want to have to click around those banners trying to reject them.
I only just switched back to Firefox after many years, and have one open with my bookmarks and tabs all the time now! Although I do use Simple Tab Groups for the latter
it’s based on this gist - follow the instructions at the top: you’ll need to set the right Sidebery preface to make it work, it’ll let you toggle it on and off easily.
I started using it again with version 115 and it’s so fast and easy to search mails, I spend a couple of hours deleting, archiving and cleaning up my inbox. Who knew that could be kind of fun. :)
I’ve been using it forever and I actually don’t think that much has changed. It has finally gotten some necessary builtin features that previously needed plugins (carddav, caldav) and the UI has been cleaned up a bit, but generally there are no game changers here. So why didn’t you use it before 115?
I have been using web interfaces to email for over 15 years now in think. I’ve been on Fastmail for the last 5 or so.
Before the web interfaces were popular, I was using email clients on the desktop, and I think I was using Thunderbird back then, but don’t really remember exactly…
