  • In my 10mn of testing on the live .iso, I found that if the reviews.json file was missing it silently retried to download it.

    Once the file was downloaded, after a restart, the reviews were visible. But the download was interrupted if I closed the app before letting it finish.

    I would guess this is why it appeared this time. You just gave it enough time to download the precedent time you ran the app. Not peak UX design. Can’t be bothered to open an issue though :shrug:


  • Can you confirm that you are connected to internet?

    If you want people to help you, they’ll need logs. To get them,

    • close the software manager if running
    • type mintinstall in the terminal, then press Enter
    • copy the result with “right-click > copy” or “ctrl+shift+C”

    Send me that and I can give it a look. Can’t promise much though, I’m not a Mint user. When you have Mint issues, consider asking in the Mint forum


  • They published this blog post that lists all the projects they supported, and calls for the community to submit projects to support in a form.

    The blog post did not acknowledge the situation, but the list showed that they stopped supporting Omarchy and kept support for Hyprland. It was noted during the drama that Hyprland’s toxicity levels have dropped since they set up a moderation team. Their reputation might not represent them as they are currently.

    I stopped following the events at this point, so if something happened after that, I’m not aware of it







  • There’s a note on the Flathub page that it requires permission to your home folder, so this should be granted automatically. Maybe they made an update since you had the issue?

    In most cases the sandboxing should not require user intervention. Apps can either use the native file picker (which gives them access to selected files) or list which directories they want to access in their manifest. If an app tells you to select a file by path-in-text-input or homemade file picker, but doesn’t have permission to the relevant directories, that’s a config issue on the packager’s side.









  • I meant, what part of rust feels like

    fix things by adding more putty and let the compiler sort things out

    I’ve been using it for a while, and I don’t know what the compiler is sorting out. It’s blocking me from doing things, not making things work. Unless you’re talking about traits or macros? But then they mostly remove lines of code, not add some. Confusion ensues.

    No, the issue is that their anti cheat requires a level of control of your computer that Linux doesn’t allow. They could just lower the security, but they instead decided that nobody on Linux could play, apparently thinking that the losses due to cheating would be more than the revenue of 3% more users
