Debian and Arch are exceptions. I believe maintainers of every other mainstream distro are exploring immutable distros or at least shipping confined apps.

That is no longer the case with the new default Desktop subiquity installer in 23.04. Instead of a single squashfs, there are separate squashfs files so the minimal install is faster than default in 23.04.

Debian knows how to do secret voting. In fact, Debian's latest election of their Project Leader which also ended last night was secret.

It looks like it would need a General Resolution to allow secret voting for future General Resolutions.

It is far more likely that the website was created by an individual, probably by the guy who submitted the site to Reddit's Linux forum.

There will be an update for that soon. (Ubuntu non-security updates are normally in -proposed for at least 7 days first.)

Make sure that gir1.2-gdm-1.0 is installed. I think the dependency was accidentally dropped.

Mir is still used for some of Canonical's IoT products. Since Canonical has paying customers, it's worthwhile to continue maintaining it.

It depends on the app whether screenshots work. Some apps use the GNOME screenshot API and are fine; other apps assume X.

Have you tried again after upgrading to gnome-shell 3.26 (it's only been in Debian unstable for one week)?

Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha already has an early snapshot of gtk4. Debian will get it later this year.

That package is installed by default in Debian 9 (but it was added fairly late in Stretch's development cycle).

GNOME isn't really part of GNU these days.

So I can blame Farmville for Firefox not being 64-bit by default on Windows? :)

Why can't Ubuntu ship some extensions by default? After all, Red Hat Enterprise Linux ships GNOME Classic which is GNOME Shell with some extensions and a tweaked theme.

Windows 10 will have it next week in the Creators Update. Android has it in 7 "Nougat" but most Android users don't have that version yet. It seems to me like GNOME was right on time.

There is nothing to strip out. The GNOME Software app (an app store) has an optional Flatpak plugin but except for that, nothing in GNOME depends on Flatpak.

No, it works fine here.

The site is non-https which allows for an internet provider to manipulate the page too. :(

They are installed if you click the box during install to "Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware, MP3 and other media"

The side effects of female hormonal birth control are really bad for plenty of women.

It's not the user's responsibility to update their browser. The updates happen automatically unless a user intentionally disables it.

But will they penalize mobile apps with intrusive pop-up ads?

It's appropriate to call this at least GNU/Linux, right?

because almost everyone has JavaScript enabled because websites are broken with it disabled…

Yes, that's what's taught in US schools, but there's significant controversy among historians over whether the Japanese may have been about to surrender in the late summer of 1945 anyway.

It's mentioned in the (rather "left") book and Showtime series https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Stone%27s_Untold_Histor...

I don't think it's a stretch at all to believe that the US did not need to drop the second bomb.

Your brain can also adjust to your eyes seeing everything upside down.

If you stumble onto CP accidentally and either report it to the police (only) or delete it and show no one, you're fine.

Please do not assume you'll be fine if you self-report to the police.

Although given the breadth of their fishing, I guess trawling (using a net) is more accurate than trolling (using a line).

Are you using a distro from 2010? Because I believe most of the major Linux distros include LIbreOffice as part of the default install.
