  • Kalpa needs to attract more developers to keep up with Aeon’s pace. I understand it is usable as a daily driver, but it’s not just a one to one mirror of Aeon with Plasma on top.

    Richard Brown is all in on Aeon along with whatever contributors are helping him. Stephen Falken appears to have no one helping him work on Kalpa unfortunately. I disagree with Richard’s stance that Kalpa shouldn’t exist, but I do wish there were some capable people able to help that project.

    I don’t mind using Gnome anyway, it actually does solve some networking issues that I’ve always had with Plasma. (Dolphin not handling it well whilst Gnome Files has no issues)




  • I’ve been using Opensuse Aeon just over a year and it’s done great.

    Tumbleweed user for the last 5 years, and dealt with a few issues over that time. The usually infrequent update break that comes with rolling release. And the Opensuse ‘Patterns’ started, which I loathe and it’s a disaster to try to disable them every install.

    Aeon hasn’t had any of those issues. It’s been very much a “turn it on and get to work”.

    I’ve generally had less issues with Aeon than Tumbleweed - like certain flatpaks not crashing.

    But downsides as I see them:

    I’m not a gnome guy. It’s fine though, I don’t hate it. But some people can’t stand it.

    I had a bit of trouble running wine. Something about the default security policy. There’s a known workaround.






  • When I saw Casino, I was blown away. I still think that’s it for the franchise, they’ll never top that movie. I’ve seen most of the newer ones since Casino, and to me I’m right.

    And to me, Casino works standalone. That ending is the perfect implication of what happens next.

    My favourites before Casino were From Russia With Love, Live and Let Die, and The Spy Who Loved Me.

    I did really like Roger Moore, I thought his light hearted adventure style Bond movies were a lot of fun (not always good 😐)
