mastodon 4.7.3#OpenSource engineer and #MachineLearning researcher. Developer of Mending Wall for hopping between Linux desktop environments without breakages, and Doxide for C++ documentation. Based in Bangkok.
Trying out the #COSMIC desktop environment again, looking nice! One thing I like about tiling is how easy it is to assemble a simple IDE from simpler applications 🙂
Mending Wall is now available as a #Flatpak on #Flathub! So you can try another #Linux desktop environment without breaking stuff.

@stib@aus.social I use only a handful of AUR packages and am able to review the PKGBUILD meaningfully. For users who are unable or unwilling to do so, Flatpaks and Snaps are a safer choice in my opinion, as they run sandboxed. Users should still check the sandbox permissions and guidance on their software store of choice (e.g. Gnome Software or KDE Discover) before installing an app, but that requires less expertise than inspecting a PKGBUILD.
A little late, but #Linux packages for all my software (Mending Wall, Doxide, Birch) are now available for the recent #Fedora 42 and #Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky Puffin releases. Repository at https://download.indii.org. #foss #opensource
@DarthAstrius@mastodon.social No worries, enjoy learning about it, there's plenty of great stuff out there!
