  • For example, if you go to the games category in Bazaar, it’ll say that there is 701 apps but it only shows 96. But now, if you go to the Flathub website, it’ll also say that there is 701 apps but there are 24 pages with 30 apps each.

    Oh, wow, I didn’t realize that it did this, but I’ve barely used it yet. Yeah, that’s not good.

    Edit: it seems that the most efficient approach would be to fix the Bazaar app or any other apps that show the Flathub catalog instead of writing something completely new.


  • Some form of an app that will allow me to get the most out of Flathub. I know that I wont use every app that exists on Flathub but I would like to have some app that will allow me to at least see every app that’s available. I don’t care if it’s something as simple as just a list of every app in the order they were added, preferably sorted/sortable by oldest first and multiple pages to make it easier to find where I left off, or if it’s something more intricate, like a full app store experience with an app recommendation system that filters out apps I’ve already interacted with.

    Have you looked at Bazaar? I don’t think it does everything you listed, but maybe some of it?












  • Got you, I understand now that you were more countering Linux fanbois than putting down Linux itself. In any case, I’m not sure I understand several of your points and would like to understand them better.

    Are you saying that you prefer KDE Plasma, so that Pop OS being based on Gnome is a non-starter? On a related note, if you haven’t yet, take a look at the Pop OS beta for their COSMIC desktop. It’s kind of in-between KDE and Gnome and written in Rust. It’s more like gnome, but has more features and allows more tweaking out of the gate. Plus it seems very fast. It’s pretty close to being released, I think I heard December 11th or some date around that?

    What do you mean about changing the explicit driver and manually messing around with nouveau? How about the bios setting part?

    I feel that Linux can work pretty well for a lot of people. Sure, nothing works for everyone though.


  • I will remind you : Nvidia is not easy on Linux. And so far as my research it never has.

    So far for me, NVidia has been easier on Pop OS than on Windows. The proprietary NVidia driver comes pre-installed on Pop OS downloads (the ones intended for NVidia).

    If we compare from bare metal:

    Windows: download the OS, prepare the media, install the OS, look for the correct driver, download it, install it, make sure to avoid the unnecessary junk that comes with the driver.

    Pop OS: download the OS, prepare the media, install the OS.

    Edit: It’s early days still though. Only installed it this week.




  • I’m anxious for those features too. I still have to get started in VR, but I’ve been following the scene relatively closely for the last few years after trying it out.

    Thanks for the link, that’s too bad to hear. I hear you that you don’t need this one if you already have other headsets. I’m in the opposite position. I have yet to get my first. I had been considering the Meta Quest 3, but Meta. The Valve Frame will very likely be my first. For someone like me, it’s nearly perfect.
