Be gone! Foul Spirit! Take your Co-Pilot and leave this innocent place.

Yep. Mandrake is the example of that.

I generally use the weekly development releases for fun. So many improvements are coming. They are focusing on speed of redraw right now.

And if you don’t like the UI, check out either Open light/dark or Northern Lights.

It’s still going to be decades before Windows and iOS feel the pinch. This is a war of attririon. There is no quick victory here.

That’s for sure 10-ply. There isn’t a word or phrase that can’t be used as a slur.

I’ve used Brave in the past, and it never showed me crypto prices at any time. But I did make sure all the that crap was turned off.

Nano is good for quick things and I rather like it. And I’ve been using VIM for years.

Flatseal, flat sweep, and warehouse will manage all your flatpaks as you see fit. And Gear Lever for managing all your appImages.

Most people do like flatpaks, I use them because I use Kinonite and Atomic Budgie, but there are those people that don’t like them or any other 3rd party universal packaging format. it’s kind of a Luddite attitude if you ask me.

That is what freedom is about. Anyone can choose to walk their own path to hell as they see fit. Otherwise you just end up with Windows all over again.

Yep. Mine too. At this point it’s the best modern take on Gnome 2.

I spent years running Ubuntu. I’ve typed ‘sudo apt-get install’ so many times I got carpel fingernail from doing it. ‘sudo dnf install’ is less typing and could have saved my fingernails. Now I use Kinonite and have all updates set to automatic and I very seldom even need to do anything at all.

Yes, I’m old, lazy, and can’t be bothered anymore. Why do you ask? ;)

If you’re looking for the immutable Plasma experience, Kinonite IS the best choice. Bazzite, Aurora, and I think Zoran, are reliant on whatever their foundation distro is doing. Other than having some presets you might like, they offer little else.

But if you like one of them, more power to you, use it and enjoy!

My Cheap, Cheerful, Chinese mini desktop is running the Fedora Cinnamon spin. Works great! And Cinnamon is the best Gnome experience in existence anymore.

Absolutely nothing. If you’re vibin’ with Mint, 3 Huzzahs for you! If you get curious to try something else later, that’s great too!

It’s not the distro you use that matters in the story of Life, it’s the fact you use Linux that matters.

Not really. Beginners don’t know the difference.

Meh, flavor of the month.

There was a time…I was there. (Insert flashback scenes) But that time has long passed.

Distros have become easy enough that one doesn’t need to interact with the CLI if you don’t want to. I’m running Fedora Kinonite right now. I don’t even need to worry about installing updates. I checked a box or two and it does it all without my attention. And then applies the updates on the next reboot. But, you can open a terminal anytime or anywhere and have at it as much as you like. Linux is whatever you want to make it. And that’s pretty cool.

Do you really want someone like the magahats having control over something like that?

So non-experts have an easier time switching vs a Windows power user?
