Next month is gonna be rough
  • Christmas is religion yes, but Santa doesn't really have anything to do with religion other than being on Christmas right?

  • What's the most obscure distro you can think of
  • Thank you 🤗 I hope not too many people see us as obscure though...

  • Early access for the Framework Laptop 13 with DC‐ROMA RISC‐V Mainboard
  • It definitely makes it less interesting and feels the opposite of what Framework wants to do. I hope future models will be as replaceable and upgradable as their x86_64 machines.

  • Tuxedo-rs status update
  • Have you actually read the article? It mostly lists problems and reasons not to get a Tuxedo laptop. I'd advise to go for a Framework machine instead, they actually have good Linux support and do not require custom software written in Electron...

  • ¿Touch Friendly Desktop Environment?
  • No, Lomiri. It is a succesor of Unity

  • ¿Touch Friendly Desktop Environment?
  • Ubuntu Touch uses Lomiri (a successor of Unity), not GNOME.

  • ¿Touch Friendly Desktop Environment?
  • Correction, hi postmarketOS dev here, we are using whatever the user wants. We ship Phosh, GNOME Mobile, Plasman Mobile, SXMO, Lomiri. We don't have just one interface.

  • What desktop enviroment do you use and why?
  • You don't have to configure KDE you know. You can just keep the defaults like you're probably doing with GNOME.

  • WhatsApp running through android-translation-layer (no container!) on Linux desktop
  • You're right, you can't run the Android (or iOS app) twice. If you want a second device running WhatsApp you'll need the web app.

  • WhatsApp running through android-translation-layer (no container!) on Linux desktop
  • I definitely hope so, so far it's looking promising!

  • WhatsApp running through android-translation-layer (no container!) on Linux desktop
  • I think installing all those dependencies by hand is not a good solution in the long run.

    Well, no. "In the long run" this gets packaged by distributions so you don't have to compile anything. Right now it's available for Alpine Linux and there is an AUR package for Arch.

    Wasn’t there supposed to be a flatpack container to be downloaded somewhere?

    There is a Flatpak (no c in that name!) base app available, and Newpipe has been packaged with that as a Flatpak, see https://flathub.org/apps/net.newpipe.NewPipe Ideally we get more stuff packaged up once more works but I don't think it's feasible to repackage everything out there so for a lot of applications you'll just have to have a locally installed ATL outside of Flatpak.

    WhatsApp running through android-translation-layer (no container!) on Linux desktop

    Since https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1gdhy7u/experimental_flathub_release_of_newpipe_on_linux/ got a bit of traction yesterday, this is WhatsApp straight from Meta running on Linux desktop using android-translation-layer.

    android-translation-layer (ATL) is a Wine-like approach to run Android applications on Linux. Rather than running an Android container like for example Waydroid does this instead implements the Android API. Note that right now it's very much work in progress and almost no app will work yet, but the fact that they have apps like Newpipe and WhatsApp running already is very promising!

    What is your skincare routine?
  • I agree with the sunscreen, although I wouldn't use it if I wasn't planning to stay out in the sun for long, but that's about it for an average person. Your body is supposed to hydrate itself, and getting dirt and grime off is the function of a shower. I'm sure not everybody's skin hydrates itself enough so they would probably need to use a moisturizer, sure, but that doesn't mean everybody should do it all the time.

    Same for acne, that's a case where it makes sense to use some products because your skin is clearly failing to maintain itself, but again that doesn't mean you should do the same thing if you don't have such issues.

  • NewPipe on Linux, Using Android_translation_layer
  • You were responding to a comment talking about Ubuntu Touch. You then talking about "we" without any explaining of who you meant made me assume you meant Ubuntu Touch users.

  • What is your skincare routine?
  • You missed the word "some". The human body had millions of years to evolve to a point where companies seem to think they can replace essential functions of it? Where is the logic in that? Some people (I'll make sure to emphasize it) have skin issues yes, because nature isn't perfect. They might need some product to help out. But by far the majority will be just fine without them.

  • NewPipe on Linux, Using Android_translation_layer
  • The OrganicMaps for "regular" Linux is very different from the Android app though. Completely different UI tech (Qt vs native Android widgets) and lacks important things like turn-by-turn navigation.

  • What is your skincare routine?
  • That and effective marketing campaigns, especially using influencers. It's Dutch but a local TV show recently had a good section about it, https://youtu.be/Ey8yvF6m5AU?t=1
