How does Qt Commercial license allow distribution of my derivative work in binary format without requiring to disclose the source code, a way to link the dependencies and allow me to statically link all those APIs?
Pardon me, I know I should probably have asked this in Qt's subreddit but this specific Qt topic strictly revolves around the GPL/LGPL and FSP philosophies, hence I thought this would be the best place to ask about it. Also this subreddit is huge.
[ Here is what I understand \]:
. I understand the FSF philosophy and freedoms.
. I understand the higher level gist of GPL.
. I understand the higher level gist of LGPL.
. I understand that by using LGPL libraries, I don't have to provide the source code for the derivative of my work. Either I can statically link such libraries with the object file(s) of my source code and create the final executable/derivative, or I can dynamically link those LGPL compatible libraries to my program and distribute the derivative to my recipients. But in both cases, I am bound by the rules of the LGPL to provide a way to link all the LGPL based dependencies that my program uses, to all the recipients/users/clients who will use my derivative/program so that my recipients get to have the freedom to rebuild my object files with the external Qt dependencies of versions of their choice as long as they are ABI compatible with the main executable.
[ What I don't understand is \]:
How the heck is Qt the company able to bypass such FSF restrictions when we buy a commercial license from them (for that we have to be a Government/legal registered company)?
I mean doesn't Qt the company also inherit all those freedoms as well as restrictions? How I as some no-name company when buys a commercial license to use the Qt SDK from Qt the company give me full freedom that is completely free from any FSF/LGPL obligations?
It's not like Qt the company have from scratch re-written 100% of all the OS APIs by their own hands that have been known since like 50+ years and they are renting this specific built-in-home SDK to us. Or have they really done this impossible work all by themselves?
I am not a commercial license holder of Qt SDK. I am just curious to know how this all works.

Yes, RAM Usage Does Matter
In recent years, I've noticed opposing opinions regarding RAM usage in various DEs and WMs, with the general overall consensus being that the extra RAM use reported in your system monitor app of choice usually doesn't matter because "unused RAM is wasted RAM". I was personally indifferent towards that discourse until this past week, which has firmly put me in the camp that strongly believes that more free RAM is good, and using a DE or WM that prioritizes low RAM usage is more beneficial than I used to think.
For context, I work from home and typically need to have multiple browsers with inefficient apps like Teams and various poorly coded company portals open throughout the day. My workflow was recently updated to necessitate the occasional use of a minimal Windows 10/11 environment via Virtualbox. I have always had a preference for lighter DEs, so most of my time on Linux has been spent using either Gnome 2 or XFCE. With the recent updates to my workflow, I had started to notice instances of random freezes and reboots - usually around the heaviest parts of my workday. Upon closer inspection, I realized I was routinely hitting my RAM ceiling around the time of these freezes/reboots, so I started making plans to bump my laptop up from the current 16GB to either 24 or 32GB.
It just so happened that I was having some issues with my multi-monitor setup after recently switching from my old faithful T430 to my current T480, so I swapped to MATE temporarily, which fixed the issue. That led me down a rabbit hole of quickly testing a few setups - including an old autorandr setup I had configured during a past fling with Openbox. I eventually realized that the culprit was XFCE, so I ended up swapping to Openbox with autorandr, which solved that problem. After 2 weeks of working with Openbox, I realized that the lack of native window snapping was starting to become an issue for me, so I dusted off an old DWM setup I had from about a year or 2 ago, made a few changes to the config to better suit my new workflow, and merrily switched back to my tiling WM setup without missing a beat.
With all that preamble, we arrive at the start of this week into my second week back on DWM, when I suddenly realized that my laptop had not frozen or rebooted randomly even a single time since I switched to Openbox. Upon closer inspection, I noted that Openbox and DWM both used almost 200MB less RAM than at startup my XFCE setup with all the same autostarted functionality, and were sometimes using over 1GB less of RAM under maximum load. This realization led me to delay my RAM purchase and just continue to observe my system behavior for a while just to confirm my new bias.
In summary, I'm still gonna upgrade my RAM (and storage) because big number go brrrrrr, but I now have a new appreciation for setups focused on minimizing background RAM and CPU usage to allow me to actually have those resources available for using my apps/programs.

Why don't we see Windows apps packaged with Flatpaks using Wine?
I thought I would see Wine apps pre-packaged as Flatpaks and even available in Flathub. Since those apps sometimes require a lot of configuration to setup correctly, I used to believe Flatpaks would help pre-configure apps so they would become basically download and play.
But we didn't see that. Why? Are there any technical reasons why Flatpaks can't package Windows apps? Any legal reasons?

Switching from Windows to Linux for Gaming – Need advice (config linked)
Hello everyone,
I'm getting a new gaming PC soon, which you can see the full configuration here . For personal reasons (particularly related to current American politics), I'm considering switching from Windows to Linux. I have a good technical background, but I'm still quite unfamiliar with Linux distributions. So I'd like your advice on how to make this transition a success.
I'm particularly interested in Endeavour OS , especially because of its Arch base and more user-friendly appearance. My main goal is to run my games, which I mostly buy on GOG and Steam via European key resellers. If you've already experimented with Proton , Wine or Lutris , I'd be happy to hear your feedback on compatibility and performance.
Also, I have a Steam Deck and want to set up local remote play from this new PC. If you have any tips or recommendations (network or software) to make streaming smooth, I'm all ears.
On the office side, I'm looking at LibreOffice to replace Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Are there other suites that you find more complete or easier to use? And for PDF file management or editing , what are your favorite solutions on Linux?
Finally, I plan to experiment with a local LLM model of about 9B to 13B parameters. Do you think this is feasible on my PC? I also want to be able to access it remotely (from a laptop, for example). Any information on the necessary configuration, or sharing of experience, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance for your advice and feedback. I am open to any comments that could help me approach this migration in the best conditions!

Why I Returned to Xorg After Months on Wayland
For the past 6 to 7 months, I gave Wayland a real shot. It was the longest I’ve ever stuck with it, and honestly, it was way more usable than my previous attempts. But over time, small issues piled up, leading me back to Xorg.
A major frustration was Crusader, my favorite file manager, which just doesn’t work well on Wayland. I tried alternatives like Thunar and Nemo, but nothing quite replaces Crusader for me. Sure, that’s an application issue more than Wayland’s fault, but at the end of the day, I need my setup to just work.
OBS was another pain point. Window capture would randomly break due to portal issues. Restarting the portal or switching to a different one sometimes helped, but why should I have to fight my system to do basic things?
I also realized that Wayland’s window manager scene is lacking. Hyperland is the main option, but it’s controlled by one dev, and that worries me. There’s no real ecosystem of diverse, well-polished window managers like we have on Xorg with i3, dwm, qtile, etc. Until that changes, I don’t see myself sticking with Wayland for long.
Back on Xorg, my system just works. Yes, screen tearing is a thing, but vsync with Picom fixes that easily. Setting up my multi-monitor layout was smooth, and overall, the experience has been flawless. Xorg might be “dying,” but from a user perspective, it’s still rock solid.
I’ll keep an eye on Wayland, and I’m sure I’ll switch back at some point to test things again. But for now? Xorg still delivers the best experience for my workflow. Curious to hear from others anyone else bounced between Wayland and Xorg? What made you stick with one over the other?
Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed; Plasma desktop
PS. Xorg isn’t prone to screen tear/fractional scaling :”)

Thoughts on Nvidia benchmarks on various OS?
I'm not trying to be Phoronix, but every now and then I like to take some benchmarks to get a feel for the various OSes I have installed on my laptop.
Using Superposition, I ran tests on my four laptop operating systems (3 times).
Fedora 41 is my daily driver, so I guess I'm glad it did the best out of the Linux options. I imagine Windows scored highest because Nvidia puts extra effort into that OS. I'm kinda surprised Fedora 42 beta did so poorly, though I have to remember it's in beta.

New Release: Mac Storage Manager – Cross-Platform (macOS & Linux)!
https://preview.redd.it/lzpmst1d7sle1.png?width=1286&format=png&auto=webp&s=7b174ea7c3908e60d1a1c41a82f7cfa3dfad219f
Hello everyone,
I'm excited to announce the release of Mac Storage Manager v2.0.0, a major update that transforms this popular disk space management tool into a truly cross-platform solution. Originally built for macOS, this new version now supports Linux, making it a versatile choice for users on both systems.
# What’s New in v2.0.0?
* Cross-Platform Support
* On macOS, the noscript continues to scan for .app bundles in /Applications and \~/Applications.
* On Linux, it now scans for .desktop files in /usr/share/applications and \~/.local/share/applications — a key step to manage applications on Linux systems!
* Improved User Experience
* Updated whiptail dialogs and progress bars for a smoother interactive deletion process.
* Enhanced error handling and logging, with clearer log outputs in application\_size\_checker.log for better troubleshooting.
* Refined Deletion Workflow
* The noscript now offers a refined process for deleting both main application files and associated files, such as configuration, cache, and logs, with step-by-step confirmation prompts.
# Why Use Mac Storage Manager?
* Free Up Disk Space Safely: Identify and remove large applications along with their supporting files.
* Interactive and Secure: The noscript uses graphical dialogs (via whiptail) to guide you through the deletion process, ensuring you review what gets deleted.
* Cross-Platform Versatility: Whether you’re on macOS or Linux, you now have one tool to manage disk space effectively.
# Get Started
Check out the repository for full instructions and details: [https://github.com/NarekMosisian/mac-storage-manager](https://github.com/NarekMosisian/mac-storage-manager)
I’d love to hear your feedback and see how this tool helps you manage your system’s storage. Happy cleaning!

Hello everyone,
I'm excited to announce the release of Mac Storage Manager v2.0.0, a major update that transforms this popular disk space management tool into a truly cross-platform solution. Originally built for macOS, this new version now supports Linux, making it a versatile choice for users on both systems.
# What’s New in v2.0.0?
* Cross-Platform Support
* On macOS, the noscript continues to scan for .app bundles in /Applications and \~/Applications.
* On Linux, it now scans for .desktop files in /usr/share/applications and \~/.local/share/applications — a key step to manage applications on Linux systems!
* Improved User Experience
* Updated whiptail dialogs and progress bars for a smoother interactive deletion process.
* Enhanced error handling and logging, with clearer log outputs in application\_size\_checker.log for better troubleshooting.
* Refined Deletion Workflow
* The noscript now offers a refined process for deleting both main application files and associated files, such as configuration, cache, and logs, with step-by-step confirmation prompts.
# Why Use Mac Storage Manager?
* Free Up Disk Space Safely: Identify and remove large applications along with their supporting files.
* Interactive and Secure: The noscript uses graphical dialogs (via whiptail) to guide you through the deletion process, ensuring you review what gets deleted.
* Cross-Platform Versatility: Whether you’re on macOS or Linux, you now have one tool to manage disk space effectively.
