  • My experience is aligned with this. I’ve barely had any issues at all, especially in the 6.x cycle.

    There was one pretty annoying panel bug, which was caused by Nvidia, but i’ve sent them reports, and they fixed it in the next driver release. The other one is a thirdparty addon, where under a certain setting combination, your shell would occasionally restart, but again that’s not a Plasma bug


  • For nix-darwin specifically, the cleaned up build process, and SDK packaging is nice. It hasn’t eliminated all the issues, but a lot of those are less of a fault of Nix, and more an issue with macOS design. Hoping they can be addressed somehow, but for now, the issues with workarounds are tracked.

    And just in general, Python has kind of been a pain in the ass to understand, so any improvement is exciting, as i’m still learning how things work here.

    A bunch of packages I want got officially merged or updated during this release cycle too, and as much as I appreciate thirdparty flakes, I don’t want to rely on them too much










  • I can’t really say I’m super excited.

    Back in the days, you bought a PSP, and you got a shitload of exclusive games, with an occasional fan-favorite port. It was incredible value, especially for a handheld. Today, unless you’re a Playstation gamer specifically, getting the console isn’t even worth it. Knowing Sony, they will introduce a proprietary storage format yet again too.

    Buying multiple licenses for the same game, across different platform is annoying as well. That’s one of the reasons why the Deck is so massively successful
