Last Friday, I attended the OpenJDK Committers' Workshop (https://openjdk.org/workshop) and I liked it. So many smart developers talking about how to make OpenJDK even better. Without knowing, it would be hard to guess who works for what company. Very different from meetings where company product marketing is always present. I love the passion the OpenJDK devs put in their work. Probably one of the reasons why Java is still so great. Cut the crap/hype and make things better.

My new favorite correction.

If you have one of the 240,000,000 PCs destined to be e-waste¹ by the superficial requirements for Windows 11, give Endless OS a try!

Endless OS is the free, user-friendly PC OS packed with educational tools, games, self-guided learning resources, and more—and it all works offline.

It has a growing ecosystem of thousands of indie and big-name apps thanks to Flathub²

Learning to say no is important.

Do more by doing less.

A very long-term Flathub initiative @razze and I have been working on is finally starting to ship! As of today, developers can log into Flathub and see the metadata quality ratings for their apps.

Soon we'll start rolling out curated banners for the home page, as the first part of actual app curation on Flathub! Exciting times ✨️

My personal vision with all of this is to see #wayland desktop technologies not only catching up with what other OSs offer, but becoming leading players - just like what other FLOSS projects already archived (or are in the process of becoming) in their areas. I'm thinking of #mesa, #pipewire, #gstreamer, #systemd, the kernel of course, and many others.
