Bazzite is exclusively KDE, and I honestly don't think it's possible to run a different desktop manager on it.
Edit: Sorry, my mistake, there's the option for GNOME as well. But I don't think they recommend even switching between them on an install.
Except the one Marques has can go 15mph, or about 24kph, almost twice that of the one in the article.
There's always Bazzite's vanilla KDE cousin, Aurora: https://getaurora.dev/ It is essentially the Fedora KDE spin with way better hardware support and QoL features.
But Bazzite isn't really a distro in it's own right anyway, it's an unofficial Fedora spin that gets updates pretty much immediately (<24hrs) from upstream. It kind of "solves" a lot of the issues with most gaming distros.
I'd highly recommend both to new users as well, as they are immutable (like the Fedora Atomic Desktops) and make it a lot harder to completely mess up your install while you're still learning.
Yeah, based off the atomic desktop versions, as it's immutable.
You invoked the comparison by using the phrase "today's parents are too IT ignorant". If anything, they know more about tech than ever before.
Edit: In response to the rest. Parents just don't want to have uncomfortable conversations with their kids, they never have. Because, no, it isn't actually easy to block all pornographic websites reliably.
Yes. What is your point? I was commenting on the fact you thought this was a current parents problem when it's been a problem for over 20 years now.
I don't know what you lived through, but there was wider internet access in the late 90s and early 00s that caused widespread panic amongst the boomers when I was a kid (born early 90s). I grew up in the era of the first social networks, MySpace being the biggest early one I remember. What surprises me more is that so many millennials have grown up to be just like their parents in that regard.
The thing is, Bazzite isn't really a distro in it's own right, which they admit themselves. It is essentially Fedora with a bit extra on top, and it gets all the updates Fedora does at the same time. It seems like they're trying to "solve" some of the issues with other gaming distros. As far as pre-installed software, it comes with Steam and Lutris pre-installed. Sure, there are some linux gamers out there that don't need those, but the vast majority will use them. Apart from those, it has the graphics drivers pre-installed for your system, based off your iso choice. Everything else is installed by choice through a first-boot wizard.
Todays parents? No. The Boomer/Gen X parents of Millennials were also incredibly IT ignorant.
Right, that was the other point I meant to make. There absolutely is a way to seperate the powers that sudo grants. The sudoers file allows you to limit a user or groups permissions to only certain commands. Distros could and should absolutely take advantage of this.
Well, no, not exactly. Most accounts on desktop linux distros are admin accounts. The way I would define that is whether or not the user has sudo permissions, either by being in the sudo group or sudoers file. Some distros do ask if you want the user to be admin. And that's pretty analagous to being admin on windows and getting a UAC prompt for an elevated process.
Yeah, I think they're based off the fedora atomic desktops of Silverblue and Kinoite respectively which are gnome and kde based. They do angle Bluefin as more workstation oriented, for what it's worth.
If you want a non-gaming alternative to Bazzite to recommend, there's it's two universal blue siblings, Aurora (general purpose desktop) and Bluefin (silverblue/workstation distro). They both have the same setup as Bazzite but without the explicitly gaming elements. https://universal-blue.org/
Are you saying to use an image to text engine just for what are text fields in applications? That sounds horribly inefficient...
That's all really fair. But I also just assumed he was parroting what the mother had called it, and that she was just blissfully unaware that she'd mixed the memes.
Do you subscribe to [email protected] at all? It's decently big, but you're right about missing the one from the other side.
And the bot, as an extension of it's corporate overlords wishes, is telling a mistruth. It is lying because it was made to lie. I am specifically saying that it lacks intent and agency, it is nothing but a slave to it's masters. That is what concerns me.
My car doesn't talk like a human. If you want to be technical, then it's proxying lies it was taught too.
Yeah, I tried to use similar phrasing to you in case it jailbroke it at all. Creepy af
This feels like an overreach by the lemmy.world admin...
I was banned from lemmy.world for “personal attacks” for 3 days because of calling someone a “piece of shit” after they called me a “cunt”. The comment calling me a cunt wasn’t removed and the user hasn’t been punished at all by the lemmy.world admins.
The comments in question:
Lemmy.world modlog:
In the interest of full disclosure, this is my other comment that was removed:
And here’s the comment of that user I was referencing, in the Blahaj modlog after it was removed:
This feels like an overreach, especially when the admin clearly didn’t feel it was important to punish their own user for “personal attacks” in the same thread.
[Bug] App Icons
Hey friends, I see you just pushed another test flight build, cheers for all the new updates. However, I just tried changing the App Icon and it doesn’t work at all, just stays on the default one. I tried a bunch to see if it was just one of them glitching out, but none of them work.
Can we defederate zerobytes.monster?
It’s just an instance of reposting reddit links. These showed up in my All feed sorted by Hot even though there’s zero interaction. It just feels like spam.
[Bug/Feature Request] Hide Downvote Button
I’m on an instance that has downvotes disabled, and I’m wondering if we could add an option to hide the downvote button from the UI when the signed in instance has it disabled. I’ve changed the swipe so it doesn’t have the downvote, but it still shows up in the feed.
As well it could be nice to have a setting for an alternate to the downvote swipe so that auto-changes depending on instance as well.
[Feature Request/Bug] Downvote Button
I’m on a server that has downvotes disabled. I’m wondering if we can get an update that hides the downvote button/slide when it’s disabled? I accidentally press it 2-3 times per day and the error dialogue can be frustrating. I was thinking there could be an option for what to replace the ‘slide right to downvote’ shortcut with when it’s hidden. Such as share or copy link.
[request] Local Instance Link Setting
So at the moment, when you share a post, you get a link to the post on the instance the communities on. Obviously, you aren’t always sharing links with people that are also on your instance, so this behaviour is usually fine. But I have a few friends on my local instance, so it would be nice to be able to link them directly. Maybe having the options be Local/Remote/Ask, with a little options list each time if people want that.
I got this tattoo for myself the day I was diagnosed with MAIS
It's a personal mash-up of the Agender, Intersex and Transgender symbols, and a little bit of inspiration from dog desexing tattoos. I'd been questioning since late puberty if I might be Intersex, I never grew an Adam's apple and hardly any body hair despite family genetics. I came out as trans femme non-binary in my early 20s, but it wasn't until the third doctor I saw for hormones that questioned if I might have an intersex condition. The first doctor I saw never questioned that my T was well below the male range because I wanted to start HRT anyway. But he also still put me on T-blockers which have some awful side-effects, including dropping my T to completely zero. Thankfully I'm off those these days and estrogen alone keeps my T where it needs to be.
The last test that she ran was for sterility, so the day I got that result was when I got my official diagnosis. I'd never really wanted kids of my own, and didn't worry when starting HRT, but it still really shook me to learn that I'm not able too. Hence, I dropped into my local tattoo parlour with a rough sketch, because the adrenaline and pain from that helped me deal with my emotions in a more healthy way.
Anyway, hi, I'm Norah and that's my story :)
Retro Lemmy BBS in Windows Terminal
So the how-to I promised in my last post:
- Install the
neonmodempackage under your default WSL distro. I'm using Debian. You've got to move the executable to your /bin/ folder. - Go to your Windows Terminal settings and click on 'Add a new profile'. Duplicate your default profile.
- Rename the profile to 'Neon Modem Overdrive'. You can download the favicon from https://neonmodem.com/favicon.png
- Under 'Command line' you want to change it to show as below. This will launch it within it's own tab, and will close out when you quit NMO.
C:\Windows\system32\wsl.exe ~ --shell-type login neonmodem - Under 'Additional settings' at the bottom, click on 'Appearance'.
- I'm using the 'Vintage' colour scheme, and have the 'Retro terminal effects' setting enabled for those crispy old scanline vibes.
Neon Modem Overdrive in WSL
I spent this evening playing with Neon Modem Overdrive and ended up getting it set up as it's own profile in Windows Terminal. That way I could give it it's own profile, including the retro screen effect. Will comment tomorrow with a guide :)
Tab Bar looks great
I’m not sure if my feedback in my last post made a huge difference, but thank you for implementing stuff like the small red dot for inbox and changing things up. I like the new inbox icon a lot, and thank you for the setting to toggle off the username. Just updated to the latest build and the avatar in the tab bar looks great!

Forejo (Gitea fork) Working on ActivityPub Federation
Federated repository hosting feels like a perfect use of the technology. Microsoft have been training their closed-source AI on the open source code they host on GitHub. Moving to a private instance of a software like Gitea means you're disconnected from the wider community, and the benefits of others working on your code. I'm excited to see this feature released, we may even decide to host an instance for the community.
