It's just Arch with Plasma then...

Harald, the main architect behind it is already running it as his daily driver. Many others (myself included) are already testing it in VMs and on spare hardware with only very minor papercut issues to be resolved.

I'm a bit the same but I tried the switching between versions and it's amazing.

Same steps, different base, no customisation, upgrades on day 1 of release. Probably a few more things. I also ❤️ Kinoite so nothing against them.

Yes it is an Arch base. Not sure on the apparmor stuff and snap is basically banned from the Arch repos so it's relegated to the AUR which makes it a pain.

Yeah that's certainly annoying but still relying on SDDM to solve this. There is a movement to see if we can import SDDM into the KDE umbrella but it's a bit stalled at the moment.

Subvolumes.

Works for me.

Apparently in Lemmy you can't post a URL and an image 🤷.

It's basically GNOME.

A subscription for OS updates? That won't for with most users.

First you need to explain what you want by lightweight. RAM, Disk, GPU, Pre installed packages? Features?

Probably JSON. I haven’t been involved in Flatpak for a long time but I’ve never seen XML. JSON is quite close to XML in it’s layout sometimes I find so easily mistaken.

Is Reddit the new 4chan?

Ah I see it's just Lemmy failing to get the thumbnail that I was trying to fix. I guess it's just something in Lemmy's code.

complicate packaging, XML sucks (are there good editors or something?), I heard that the Flatpak builder is better for certain languages.

What has XML got to do with it? Flatpak manifests are either JSON (not great but OK) or YAML, which is great.

Yeah, looks to be an instance specific bug I guess. Hopefully it can get addressed soon. I think the thumbnail helps with drawing people's attention to posts.

This is one of the biggest annoyances I've come across with them for sure.

Generally using only a few flatpaks is where it's generally "bloaty". Adding more actually balances out the equation ans you have more apps using generally shared runtimes.

No.
