For a 100% libre kernel, I feel like this is the more sensible option than Hurd, just to take advantage of all the effort that goes into the Linux kernel. I’m not knowledgeable on kernels in the first place though, so maybe a micro-kernel really is the best way to go once you figure out the proper architecture.
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…
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 have been looking into cryptpad, but I don’t know if it is really secure/private, but it appears to be a privacy-oriented, self-host able google doc alternative: cryptpad.org
I think I started using Linux around 1995 with Slackware on a bunch of floppies… Used to compile my own kernel back then… But haven’t been doing that in a long time.
Happy bday Linux and thanks Linus
Back then my computer was barely fast enough to play mp3s…
Sarcasm: You can no longer see your running applications. But fear not, they plan to give you a menu of running applications in the next release so you can close them if they ever get minimized.
Galileo seems to be what they are calling the environment the USB boots to. This environment is moving from the XFCE desktop environment to the different KDE plasma desktop environment. These environments can both be customized, but they are very different under the hood. I imagine that you can still choose XFCE and other desktop environments from the installer.
Galileo is the name of the “release”, which while somewhat of a misnomer for a rolling-release distro, is something EndeavourOS has done since the beginning. The current release is called Cassini Nova.
You are correct that EndeavourOS is a rolling release. In that sense, you never have to ( and never really do ) “upgrade” to these new “releases” since you are essentially always using the latest software.
The releases do two things:
1 - they provide updated install media that are closer to the current repo contents so that upgrading after install is a smaller and more reliable operation.
2 - they provide an opportunity to change the system defaults. For example, the move to dracut. If you installed a couple of years ago, you can upgrade all your packages but you will still not be using dracut ( unless you make that change yourself ). Everybody that installs EOS now will use dracut by default. That is true of other things, like this change to KDE for the offline install.
Not a current user(but will be soon) but i read it as
Some Linux distro switches from one desktop environment to another. thr names are just 2 DE, and the name of the Distro version like how Apple names OSX after mountains.
And for a bit of extra clarity, they’re only changing the default DE. EndeavourOS gives you several DE options during install, KDE will just be on top of the list now (and used on the live media)
