Simple, they've been working with goals of each release, so most of the things that clearly aren't going to make it to the next release don't get top priority compared to the things that will. It also just so happened that a ton of these year-spanding works have finally being considered done today lol
here's to hoping they don't get the boeing treatment
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.
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.
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!
transphobes get fucked 🦀🦀🦀🦀
Also, highly recommend checking out Universal Blue's Surface images! It's pretty much everything you need out of the box! https://universal-blue.org/images/surface/?h=surface
I know, I'm on the Flatpak side, just appreciate the intention behind snaps (although I quite frankly hate the execution).
It's a partnership for those that really want the distro branding and that want to see part of the money spent going back to fund FOSS development (as 3% of the sales goes to the GNOME Foundation). For those that don't, it's basically just a Slimbook Executive 16.
If you want it to stop being a standard, help your distro do a better job at marketing. Ubuntu is one of the few that do some actual market research and dedicate resources to getting the OS into the hands of people by getting them interested in it. It's one of the things we are looking forwards to doing better in Fedora.
the TL;DR is people were coming from HN to harass one of Asahi's devs mainly for being a trans woman
I've been using Silverblue and Universal Blue's images for at least a couple of years now and although there were a couple of rare instances I had to manually intervene with my system due to issues, the experience is considerably better than a traditional distro.
