1. Flatpak, create a shell script to call the flatpak command and pass arguments
2. If the app doesn’t work well as a flatpak or isn’t packaged, I would use distrobox
3. If the app doesn’t work well in distrobox, I’d rpm-ostree install it
4. If I’m feeling fancy, I might look into installing homebrew. But you need to do some workarounds with PATH and homebrew otherwise it can break things; Universal Blue includes these workarounds out of the box

• I like Gnome
• I like that Fedora adopts new technology quickly
• I like how it makes updates more reliable
• I like flatpak

Preferably the drivers and quirks of the hardware would all be patched upstream so that you don’t need to use a distro with the fixes patched in.

Mac Mini doesn’t come with a keyboard. So unless you’ve owned an iMac or bought a keyboard separately, you won’t have that convenience.

That being said, I haven’t touched the power button on my Mac Mini since I got mine on the 8th.

“Boiling The Ocean” refers to the fact that this is what all the hackfest topics share in common: They’re all very difficult long-term efforts that we expect to still be working on for years before they fully bear fruit. A second, mostly incidental, connotation is that the the ocean (and wider biosphere) are currently being boiled thanks to the climate crisis, and that much of our work has a degrowth or resilience angle (e.g. running on older devices or local-first).

I'm just saying that I think it would be more accurate to group Gnome closer to Windows and KDE than MacOS. Especially if Dash to Dock and Appindicators are enabled, like in Ubuntu.

I could switch between Gnome, KDE, Windows, and most Linux DEs relatively easily, but MacOS's feels quite different to me.

A good place to start is the "Water Cooler" section of the Fedora Discourse: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/fun/8

I think a dev for Factorio discussed this issue on Brodie Robertson’s podcast.

Brand new Mac Mini, just came out today. It has a full year of warranty left.

My HDMI tops out at 144hz, issue still present.

1440p at 170Hz with the DisplayPort. But I also tried going down to 60hz, but in that brief time I did that, that made the flickering issue even more apparent.

I hear that Gnome can struggle on touchscreens due to some GTK bugginess.

Plasma is probably a good bet since it has a dedicated touch friendly mode and is tested on the Steam Deck, which has a touch screen.
