The biggest problem with Haiku is that it has practically no security. It runs everything as root, it doesn’t have user accounts, and the only password it supports is for a screensaver screen locker. I think it has potential, but its security model is completely unacceptable for an online OS in 2026.
They should’ve done this as soon as the problem was found out. I’m not sure whether this is “better late than never”, or too late to really matter.
I thought it had something to do with BTRFS subvolumes, but I wasn’t sure. I’m guessing the TUI doesn’t cover them since Void’s developers didn’t think TUI users would be interested in creating them, but I can’t imagine it’d be hard for them to add support for.
Curious, but have you tried the TUI? If so, what does it lack for your usecase?
The less AI slop on Flathub, the better.

I’m aware, but doesn’t the lack of an LTS for KDE make things difficult for Debian’s maintainers?
EDIT: Wrote “thing” instead of “things” at first.
This is why I wish KDE still did LTS releases. Even though I use Wayland on my systems, I know it doesn’t have feature parity with X11, and that some users may still need X11 for different reasons. If 95% of users are using Wayland, that means there’s 5% that aren’t, and 5% is not an insignificant number. I know there’s other DEs that people can use if they need X11, but that’s missing the point.
I really don’t like this whole “march of progress, legacy can go to hell” mentality.
Good. I hope this puts a dent in the number of new projects that use AI. I also hope Flathub implements a system to clearly flag existing submissions that have used it.
Well this sucks. I use Flatpak all the time, so I guess this means I’m going to be even more dependent on systemd than I was before.
I don’t hate systemd as much as most of its detractors; in fact I like how easy it makes it to manage services, but with the age verification attestation controversy, and the performance improvements I witnessed switching my Pi-Hole box from Debian to Alpine, these things have caused me to question my use of systemd.
GNOME Disks is awesome. It’s the one GNOME app I use regularly, and it amazes me just how good it is given who develops it.

I would possibly upvote this if it were just a GNOME customization guide, and if it didn’t try to insist that “GNOME is good, actually.”
TIL at least one German computer magazine still ships cover discs.
Title is clickbait. All that’s been confirmed so far is FRL.

I think Mint should ditch Ubuntu and go all-in on LMDE.
If Mint ever releases a version that allows me to use KDE without installing any other DEs, or XFCE reaches the point where it has mature Wayland support, I may consider it. The Linux world is in dire need of a distro that’s basically “Kubuntu, but good”, IMO.
You jest, but Fedora’s probably one of the worst distros you could use an old version of. They’re practically a rolling release with how short the support window for each version is. Plus, they have a very “march of progress” mentality compared to something like Debian.
