I'll just note for those that may not know - NZ, even more so than Australia, has a huge cost of housing crisis, contributed to by tourism, immigration, relatively low wages, and poor government policy.

> They think Walt Disney is a company."
Laugh. Pretty shallow double-speak to say otherwise. Disney is wholly a grubby corporate entity nowadays.

Marketplace is just a software disaster imho. Equally as bad as the platform in general. But there's method in the madness. They make it such a wilderness so you have to keep coming back in order to find stuff. Imho anyway.

Hopefully this will give their coders/bosses something meaningful to focus on, rather than endlessly mangling the GUI as has been the case since, like it seems forever.

Totally agree.... But I can't imagine the new distro will come to much. Linux's fragmentation is just terminal :( And I have to say, as a long time KDE user, just how on earth did KDE make the task bar and desktop configuration process so bad? Really quite a feat.

Probably colided with space junk or rock.

Agree.. The weak repeat-any-crap of today's in-crisis media is a large part of the problem, and what Dump exploits to his advantage.

If "set ts=2" then You are the problem

The real question is - "How big is your tabstop?". Martial law is not too much for those that transgress "set ts=8"

Toys out the pram? - Linux kernel maintainer Ted Ts'o: "Here's the thing, you're not going to force all of us to learn Rust."

Apple have been viciously anti hobby programmer since Jobs left. Ken's a patient man if it's taken till now for him to flick the design-abomination that macos has become.

Picture frames on the desktop used to work great... Till I checked out last Ubuntu. The new "media frames" are just totally broken regards usability. I mean, free software is always full of snafus, but the degree and manner how they broke the picture frame, was quite impressive.

Amen :) But what a nasty POS piece of software it is... I think the problem is I'm a programmer, and kindof expect simple features like font resizing, games will run without updating at inconvenient times, and a close button that.. Closes.

Kubuntu 22.04 is ok.... Amd drivers are occasionally flaky, but pretty decent really. Less bugs than I'm used too from the powerhouse that is desktop Linux, cough.

Konqueror is the only part of Linux's gui that is superior to Mac and Win. Goodness knows why KDE replaced it with the vaguely useless Dolphin. But have to say 22.04 kubuntu is fairly decent, apart from the disgracefully unusable Firefox of course... Which sets the standard in bad UI updates of course.
