On MacOS and some desktop environments like Unity and optionally in Plasma, there’s a UX design pattern called the “Global Menu”. At the top of the screen, as part of the desktop’s shell, there’s buttons labelled File, Edit, View, etc for you to interact with.
Firefox is seemingly (I haven’t tested it myself, not using Plasma) enabled this functionality under Linux. Previously it required a patch to work. But this functionality has always existed on the MacOS version.

Seems like you first have to go to about:config and toggle the option shown in the screenshot.
This also also affecting me. Though it was just because I was unaware of the USB wake function. Since I have, I made it a habit to suspend, then immediately lift up my mouse to turn it off. Though I guess that’s not an option for wired mice.
Keeping the search terms in the URL bar rather than replacing it with the URL is nice. Should help with searches on web engines that don’t support bangs.
I hope the https hiding doesn’t affect copying the URL.
Specifically he supported one of Trump’s appointees on antitrust.
Also he said that Republicans were for the little guys and that Democrats were captured by corporations. This one is more controversial. Obviously both republicans and democrats have been bought by lobbyists.
But when it comes to Big Tech, I do think Republicans will do a good job with antitrust simply because Big Tech pisses Trump off a lot.
I run Fedora Silverblue on a N100.
It’s very usable. For most actions, it feels pretty similar to my much more powerful desktop. but has some limitations.
The battery life is still better than most laptops, but yeah, not as good as MacOS.
It’s meant to be an upgrade over the old system. If both are accessible, that just means they didn’t remove the old code.
Might end up buying a Pixel 9A to make sure that Anubis keeps working on GrapheneOS.

The touchpad would be very unresponsive for several minutes after waking from sleep. It would still work, but had a crazy latency. Happened in both Windows and Linux.
I believe I could’ve hacked around it with this command.
I use Silverblue and MacOS daily, I enjoy the former so much more.
Unfortunately my relatively new Lenovo laptop has a small but also major driver bug that hasn’t been fixed in all the time I’ve had it. Bad to the point I got the Mac to have actual working hardware. But I do not enjoy MacOS in the slightest. At best I can say it harasses you less than Windows and respects the user a few degrees more than Windows.
That’s what I’m saying. The OS installer can be super nice and intuitive, but the process of getting to that point, messing with the BIOS, is troublesome.
I know in the past there’s been tools that allowed you to install Linux from within Windows. That would be a great way to work around this problem, though I think there are certain limitations with that approach.
A person can only specialize in a small number of things.
I’m happy to learn about computers, but when it comes to, say, cars, I have no desire to learn. If I have a car problem, I don’t have the knowledge of how to even look up a problem.
Honestly I think the bigger barrier is the BIOS. The button to get to the boot menu is different on every motherboard.
Wasn’t vertical integration, was done by packager.
We don’t believe that the openSUSE Deepin packager acted with bad intent when he implemented the “license agreement” dialog to bypass our whitelisting restrictions. The dialog itself makes the security concerns we have transparent, so this does not happen in a sneaky way, at least not towards users. It was not discussed with us, however, and it violates openSUSE packaging policies.
Not by default, but you can optionally enable it.

Took me a minute to realize they meant two weeks until TWIG #200.
Ah I had the same issue. JavaFX still uses X11. By default VSCode only lets X11 be used if Wayland is not available (this is the X11 fallback permission). Disabling X11 fallback will let VSCode use Wayland and let JavaFX use X11. I might make an issue for this on the flatpak’s GitHub asking for this change.
Honestly, the truth is that setting up containers for development will always be a hassle. My low tech way is just to make a distrobox container with its own home folder, install an IDE in it, and install packages. The more proper way to do it would create your own containerfile to build your container for developing.
VSCode also has its DevContainers extension but that doesn’t work in VSCodium and does some weird things.
Ubuntu had their own desktop called Unity that had a global menu. Gnome itself never did, though there were projects like Fildem to bring one to Gnome.
Edit: I was wrong, it used to have one
