Designer, artist, part of Fedora's marketing team and ferociously communist ☭
Ah shoot, I wasn't aware posts about them were a no-go, specially since this is a useful tool for people that already have hardware from them, it isn't any sort of news about "hey buy our new product" or something like it.
And there are distros where it works out of the box with no extra steps needed: Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and openSUSE IIRC
Fortunately that's what the GNOME Foundation is going for, having people dedicated to applying for grants and other programs. Hopefully there's greater adoption by big companies and governments!
Yeah, Papers doesn't have a stable release yet since they are still doing big design changes, but you can get it through the GNOME Nightly repo. I've been using it for quite a while now!
Easy to imagine when you understand that this is developed to support hardware that is widely popular and that will be sold by a lot less in the second-hand market in a couple of years, and that this makes far easier for people that are currently stuck in this walled garden to experiment with free software.
Don't worry, this article is mainly to clear some misunderstanding about libadwaita anyway, having questions about it is natural
Will an app dependent on libadwaita that be usable on linux without gnome? Like xfce, or xmonad?
of course it will, that's not the point, the point is to make apps that use libadwaita look consistent even in platforms outside of GNOME
yeah, proton vpn is the same, this guide is what made it finally work for me personally
The point is pushing for wider free software adoption by organizations such as governments that are trying to meet ecologically "green" objectives.
KDE Eco is (AFAIK) a project by the KDE folks to try and push for better optimizations for energy efficiency for software projects in general and to try and push for free software adoption by governments with the main push being the limits of software support by companies and the landfill that limited support creates.
DaVinci Resolve is THE video editor on Linux. Unfortunately the libre apps for it don't get even close, to the point that even with all the limitations in the free and paid versions, it still is the best option.
Also shout out to Bitwig Studio, although I don't use it.

Nope, I'm not the developer, I just found it really interesting and decided to share
I could keep going.
Spoiler: it is! We have both a Framework and a Lenovo laptop in our mockups on Penpot that we use for our design work, provided by them.
battery health != battery life
just a small fix, battery life is usually referred for the amount of time you can get out of a single charge, battery health for how long your battery will last over the years maintaining its capacity
It's power-profiles-daemon. The new version came out a couple of weeks back (and reached stable bascially in the same day as F40 released) with much better performance, as it now detects if your system is running on battery and adapts both the balanced and power saver modes accordingly to save on power, it's pretty great!
It's probably best to assume that since that funding was provided to be used with a specific focus, they didn't (and/or couldn't) use it for the Foundation's maintenance.
absurdly rare NVIDIA W
Goddamn, every day that passes I hope so much Framework get to expand their sales to more countries. I REALLY want to get one of their laptops whenever mine finally bites the dust.
