From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What is being done to make Flatpaks better integrate into the system (lemmy.zip)

For example, theming shouldnt have to be a 10 step process. Make Flatpaks use your themes correctly. Another thing is QT Theming, why is it outside of KDE you can't use the breeze style? It's the best and most consistent application style for QT apps. And the final point, when is the naming scheme of org.foo.bar going to be fixed to be the actual name of the package rather than the technical name. Flatpak remove and flatpak install both work without giving the full name, so why doesn't flatpak run? The naming is the only thing snaps have over flatpak. If nothing is been done how can I contribute?

We’ll see about that graphics accelleration. The laptop doesn’t have a dedicated GPU anyways. Either QEMU/KVM does it or I can pass through half the intel iGPU or it’ll just be slow.

Assuming you're a GPU supported by macOS you might be able to get good results by treating with like an hackintosh: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/

I'm not sure how macOS plays with GVT-g / SR-IOV / sharing slices of hardware but this guy says he go it to work https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/innriq/successful_macos_catalina_with_intel_gvtg/. I personally never got macOS with GPU acceleration working fine on a VM because my host is NVIDIA and unsupported. However I did have very good results in HP Mini computers running macOS by following the links before.

Thank you for the Midtown Madness 2 link. I need that, too. Spent quite some time in that blocky version of San Francisco when I was a kid.

I believe the hacks work with other games from that time as well as it solves the DirectX and GPU issues nicely without permanente changes to your system.
