Even the 'Waterfox' icon doesn't display properly in the taskbar.

 

Need new icons. :)

Just a couple of modifications, I got bored...

When the mouse doesn't highlight the dock:

When you go and open the application launcher:

The background wallpaper is set to change every 10 seconds, hence the difference between the two screenshots.

Nice one :D

Love Endeavour! Running it myself. Runs flawlessly with Wayland, too.

Wayland is quite the requirement for playing games. I have not had issues with it. For whatever reason, Gnome dies horribly when installed on the Rog Ally, I wanted to use Gnome given that is more... touch friendly, but at the end had to go with KDE. Not bad either to be honest, I'm quite enjoying the hand held experience now. Emulators are way faster than on windows and steam games are a mix of being faster and sometimes being slightly slower. Still, awesome just to be hable to almost entirely ditch windows on my side.

GNOME is better for larger screens then your phone/tablet/Ally. It is good for touch, but it depends on the size.

I personally hate GNOME. But each to their own.

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
