  • Just a shame that they’re switching over to GTK3 when most other developers seem to be transitioning to GTK4.

    The switch from GTK3 to 4 won’t be as much work as they did with the recent GIMP 3 update. Because they did more than updating GTK, like lot of ground work and basically a rewrite of most basic stuff and adding new functionality. So don’t be fooled by the idea it would take ages to update to GTK4, at least it won’t take as much time as GIMP 2 to GIMP 3 update.






  • Hmm sounds reasonable. After my question I was reading the original news from Archlinux and the following statement

    In order to not break user setups, we kept these repositories around in an unused and empty state.

    suggest that the empty and unused repositories have no effect. I don’t know why they kept this, because removing them would break back then. Removing them now breaks it today, so not sure why they delayed that, as nothing is won. I will uncomment out (Edit: I meant I will comment out) those lines and see what happens. :D In worst case the system cannot update and I can reverse the change. But there is no reason why the system should not able to update, if the repositories are empty.

    Another Edit: Me dummy don’t have any [community] repository. Not sure if I removed it before (very possible) or if it is removed by my distribution (please don’t hurt me, I’m just using EndeavourOS).




  • Last 6 Months: I don’t know when, but Mint finally beat the “extremely popular” distribution MX Linux. Good to see that EndeavourOS is right after it on place 3. Ubuntu still not very popular on place 8, but might climb up soon after the new release. Archlinux is on place 67, because nobody uses it; even Gentoo is more popular on place 63.

    Obviously I don’t take this too seriously.
