Hi,
This is my first email from new distro (CachyOS). In addition,
I had to switch from POP to IMAP, and Thunderbird is sure
buggy. I hope it goes out.
Anyways, can someone go to <homedepot.ca> ? On my Firefox
(146.0.1), it's blank screen. But, I know something is there,
because mouse pointer changes as I move on the screen.
I found out why. It was "AdBlocker
Ultimate". If I disable it, <homedepot.ca> shows up.
Thanks to all those who went on this "wild goose chase" with me.
Now, for CachyOS... There are rough edges:
- In the latest sync, more fonts came
down from upstream, and font rendering are better. Eg.
Thunderbird is now showing "Times" font that I typed in posts
to GTALUG. I have switched back to default "Variable Width"
(which is "Noto Serif"). So, this post is being typed in
"Noto Serif" font.
- KDE is just one of many desktops they
offer, and it's not their main priorities, I don't think. So,
Kubuntu and FedoraKDE are better in KDE integration. Eg. I
tried Kmail, and many of its dependencies had errors after
download. Because of these errors, it refused to upgrade the
whole thing. Which is good.
- CachyOS is focused on 64-bit
optimizations. So, it has ARM64 cross compile toolchains, but
not 32-bit ARMhf (v7 hard float) stuffs. For 32-bit arm, you
have use Debian/Ubuntu.
So, we'll see how Kubuntu 26.04 is.
