Oh good to know, last time I checked they said on their website they’re not supporting it. That’s great news, thanks!

Yeah Waydroid doesn’t support these yet sadly.

Waydroid not working? You don’t happen to have an Nvidia card, do you?

I really like Mint, but I wouldn’t say it “has relatively up-to-date updates”.

First thing that came to mind was Fedora, if you are willing to try an immutable distro I highly recommend Bazzite, but tinkering has its limits there.

I didn’t say it was. I posted the quote from the website to clarify.

From their website:

"Update on Your Terms

Pop!_OS provides the latest features and security patches through rolling updates and periodic OS version upgrades, to be performed at your discretion. And if you want a clean slate, the Refresh Install feature resets your OS while preserving the files in your Home folder. "

From the website: “We are starting with iOS and Android games because this is where most dark patterns appear, but we will be adding other platforms soon.” So that looks good for your request.

Had the same issue on 2 devices with 2 different distros, it went away by itself after around an hour.

If you do a quick web search, you can find 5 years old reddit posts that link to the exact same github of d07RiV that is first mentioned in the article. So I suppose DevilitionX will be around for the same amount of time.

This is old news, it’s working for over 5 years now.

I like the idea of immutable distros a lot, but I realised they are not for me, at least not now.

I couldn’t install global themes because the SDDM is immutable. There is a workaround, but it didn’t work 100% for me.

I couldn’t get Steam to put shortcuts on the desktop (it’s a known thing, simply I didn’t know it). It only worked with Bazzite which comes with Steam preinstalled. But then I couldn’t edit these shortcuts (for example: -silent) because if I did, they would vanish.

Then I experimented with Waydroid. There was something I wanted to test but couldn’t use the online advice because Bazzite/Aurora doesn’t have dnf for example.

There were other little things I’m used to tinker on my system and couldn’t so I realised, I wanna stick with other distros for the moment.

Mine is set to expire: Expires / Max-Age:“Fri, 23 Aug 2024 06:40:27 GMT” - so that’s in 7 days. Great find though!

Yes I assumed that WebGL was the culprit :). And I totally agree with you, especially when the content is about surveillance.

Interesting, thanks! Never heard of Nitrux before.

Yes that’s true. I just realised that I apparently tinker too much to use an immutable distro as of now. But I’m definitely keeping an eye on them.

Yes of course, that’s always an option. I was just trying to look over my Mint horizon and check out other distros and how they work. Exciting!

Possibly, but I’m wondering why it’s only affecting Lemmy then? (I’m using Librewolf that’s based on Firefox)

I had allowed all scripts for that website, still not working.

I like that article, I’m in a similar position at the moment. I’ve been using Mint on my Nvidia machine for a long time now, but with the new Mint 22 update that’s also based on Ubuntu 24.04, I’m facing similar issues and so I’ve done some distrohopping over the past couple of weeks. I’ve tried Aurora/Bazzite and Nobara as Fedora based distros, Garuda and CachyOS as Arch based ones, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and probably something else I can’t remember right now. All of them were great distros but had certain flaws that were offputting somehow. And I’m in no rush, since Mint 21.3 is still supported for a while.

I’m still open to suggestions what to try next! I’m getting faster and faster with fresh installs :)

“Browser not supported” - weird choice not to support hardened browsers like Librewolf.
