  • Of course, if you’re living in Russia, it’s dangerous to state anything other than support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

    That doesn’t mean it isn’t cringeworthy to watch someone awkwardly dance around it, trying to ignore it while complaining about (checks notes) losing a bit of reputation over an unnecessary war that their country started and which literally cost thousands of lives.

    Any Russian who stands up against that is incredibly brave. The others, just different levels of sad. Non-Russians who support Putin are the worst.

    I understand why you’d want FOSS to not care abot borders, wars and politics and that is noble. But to call this comment racism, comes across as a veiled show of support for Putin. As if critiquing his invasion is a racist act that hurts the Russian people. Putins invasion is hurting the Russian people. Not this comment.






  • People, don’t downvote! Look at the instance David’s on. nl is Netherlands. That’s us. We are nazi europe. The fascists are in government here in .nl, with a party that has only one member.

    That is forbidden in Germany btw. I always like asking Dutch fascists why they think that party structure is forbidden in Germany specifically. Watch them realize they have to link the way their party is organized to WW2.


  • Yes, you are right.

    The old stuff, now no longer supported, is:

    • .NET Framework up to and incl version 4.8
    • Runtimes distributed as part of Windows
    • Mono is a Linux Runtime used for compatibility

    The new stuff:

    • .NET Core, up to and incl 3, more recent versions are named .NET from version 5 onwards (to prevent mixing it up with the old Framework)
    • Is completely cross-platform, natively
    • I don’t know about desktop specific graphical stuff but that probably depends on the specific library






  • I have never heard of WattOS but that sounds terrible.

    It seems like antiX is a systemd-free Debian flavor.

    If you want systemd, why not just use Debian? Or, if you are looking for a nice preconfigured DE/WM, any of a number of Debian/Ubuntu derivatives.

    Mint for best out of the box setup, Pop!_OS for tiling, Zorin OS if you’re looking for a funky styling, any of the Ubuntu derivatives for the major DEs: Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.


  • Makes sense. Mono was necessary in the “old .NET” world, where runtimes were tied to Windows versions and the framework was a pure Windows framework. Mono made it possible to run old dotNET framework versions (up to 4.8) on other OSes.

    Since dotNET Core and then dotNET 5 and higher, the framework itself is cross-platform so Mono is not necessary anymore, except for backwards compatibility for apps that use a now unsupported framework.

    So it makes sense that Microsoft, after dropping the old dotNET Framework versions, also wants to stop supporting the cross-platform library that was only needed for those old versions.
