If you want to be nitpicky about it, you could consider it to not be an "ad" because its not a company paying to put that text there. It's Ubuntu promoting their own product. But I don't think it makes much of a difference in this case, since it's a big annoyance either way.

Fedora (with Plasma) and I don't plan on moving to another distro until something tangible happens. Switching my distro based on hypothetical situations would keep me from ever staying on any distro for very long.

That being said if I had to use another distro, I feel like I'd try out Debian stable, while using Flatpaks and Distrobox to get up-to-date software. That feels like it would be a good approximation of the excellent middleground that Fedora has.

I think this is about the formation of the Open Enterprise Linux Association, which Oracle is a founding member of.

Wow! On Fish, it brings up a whole search bar with a colored grid of results and tab to select and fuzzy finding. This is cool!

Fedora is great! It ended my distro-hopping.

As someone who currently uses a note-taking app with tags, I'd highly recommended adding that as a feature if it's not out of scope. I couldn't imagine going back to taking notes without tags. It makes organization so much simpler.

fwiw I remember reading around a year ago, a post by the KDE contributor Pointiest Stick that he actually thinks that Fedora has a better Plasma experience than Opensuse. I can't find the post where he said that though so take it with a grain of salt. But as someone who does use Fedora with Plasma, it feels like it mostly works fine. The only big issue I can think of atm is that the Plasma Discover auto-updater just doesn't work at all. It doesn't auto update. That could just be an issue specific to me though.

This actually sounds like a really good idea! This could be big! I wanna try this for myself to get a feel for it.

I understand and that was one of the things I was thinking of when I said "Valve’s done bad things in the past of course". But when you compare them to many other AAA publishers, I don't see how Valve is particularly bad. Especially when you start bringing up lootboxes. Unlike many other publishes that go these same bad practices, and at a larger scale at that, value has done some good too, and is generally much more permissive about things like fanworks, and that does a lot to build good will. I don't see what's "short memory" about this.

And I'm not even saying that I love valve or anything either, but the devil? Compared to other publishers?

Are you getting them confused with another company? Valve's done bad things in the past of course, but they're still a lot better than most other gaming companies that I know of. I typically put Valve alongside companies like Capcom and Sega as "one of the not bad ones" in terms of malicious practices.

How does this compare to waifu2x for anime-style images? Does it manage to beat it, or is this more for photos?

edit: it looks like it's much better
