I’m not familiar with this app, but what do you mean “gnomed”? Do you mean the UI started using Gtk4 and Adwaita components?
Gtk3 is considered legacy now, so most apps that use Gtk will be transitioning to Gtk4 (and Adwaita) at some point. Gtk3 is starting to look a bit outdated in modern DEs.

Linux@lemmy.ml•On Linux, how do I get the VM host/guest experience but with two physical PCs, such as a "guest" laptop and a "host" desktop PC? [SOLVED]
1·13 days agoA lot of these devices are Ethernet-only to simplify things. Ethernet is more reliable, people that use KVM/IPMI for remote management usually use it via Ethernet, and it means they don’t need to bundle wifi drivers with their OS. Also, some of them are powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet) to avoid needing a separate power cable.
You could plug it into a cheap wifi bridge to make it wireless.

3·28 days agoResize your Windows partition to be smaller, then install Linux in the newly-freed space. You can boot into GParted to resize the partition.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Why is Debian always left out of the distro recommendations?
1·1 month agoIn the context of Debian, “stable” means it doesn’t change often. Debian stable doesn’t have major version changes within a particular release.
Unstable has major changes all the time, hence the name.
I think testing is a good middle ground. Packages are migrated from unstable to testing after ~10 days of being in unstable, if no major bugs are found.

2·1 month agoYou can somewhat avoid the issue of old packages by running the testing version instead of stable, but in that case you should ensure you get security updates from unstable: https://github.com/khimaros/debian-hybrid
I used to run some systems on Debian testing and never had any issues.

Is it? I feel like there’s far more Debian systems in the world, if you include servers.
If you get a Zigbee smart switch (or smart bulb) and a Zigbee remote, you can pair the switch/bulb and remote directly so it works like you said, while still retaining the ability to control the light using Home Assistant (eg automatically turn it on or off based on something).
The way a lot of students solve this in Australia, at least in Melbourne where I’m from, is by taking the train (or a tram) to university. The university I went to was adjacent to a train station.
Students from low-income families and that are independent get money from the government which can be used for anything, including public transport passes. Living on campus isn’t really a thing in Australia, so a lot of students continue to live with their parents while at uni to save money, or live at an apartment nearby.
There’s automated filters (both manually-created and AI) but bad actors find ways around them.
Click the three dots button and select the option to report it. Those reports are actually monitored.
I’ll try it out! I totally forgot it exists.
I was using LibreOffice Calc on my work PC with a Threadripper CPU, and somehow it still chugs at times. Scrolling was very laggy with larger spreadsheets for example. I ended up using Google Sheets instead, which is way more responsive for me. If it was for personal use, I’d probably try IronCalc.
I’m out of the loop lol why is there so much corn in here today?
I think most of us are like that
Tech-savvy Lemmy users (and their friends) are a small portion of the population though. Plenty of people pay for cable TV, IPTV, or a similar service, and/or VOD platforms like Netflix.

That’s true, however the GNOME maintainers will drop support for it at some point. I guess Cinnamon or xfce could maintain their own forks, however the majority of apps target what GNOME is currently using given it’s the most popular desktop environment.
