You do realise that every single social platform favours your way of thinking? You are pretending like you aren’t fully in charge.

All you need to do is shout “my feelings!” and you get results. Like toddlers shouting for cookies.

I was one of those people, I’ve been changed. I know a lot of other people too. Maybe try to look outside of an echo chamber sometime.

Putting gay content on a Christian community is like putting a Pitbull in a nursery. It’s done only to cause a problem.

Would you put gay content in a Muslim community?

What about the phrase “sunlight is the best disinfectant”?. You can allow people to air their opinions (regardless of whether you believe they’re bigoted or not) and it’ll hurt their cause. Alex Jones is nothing but a meme now because of having a platform.

Doesn’t banning these people prove their ideas and conspiracies right and force them deeper underground?

If they aren’t promoting literal violence, leave them be. Just because they upset some people isn’t a reason to ban them.

The Westboro Baptist Church is a prime example of airing their foul opinions causing almost a complete exodus and switch on behalf of the church members. If you think you’re right, try to convince them.

One of the ones he bought is sold on Apple’s website, so I don’t think so.

The virtual desktops functionality is miles above any other DE, specifically. The settings are really simple, and the options in the right click context menus are really well featured.

The fact that the website hasn’t been updated since 2020 and still has an open CVE shines the light on Flatpak’s attention to security.

Regarding point 3, if that’s true, then why are all of the most-dowloaded packages on Flathub mislabelled as ‘sandboxed’ when they have full write access to a user’s home directory? That isn’t a sandbox.

Flatpak currently has a 7.2 vulnerability that has gone unaddressed since 2017. The maximum vulnerability rating is a 9, so this is quite major.

I really hope this isn’t just another Budgie DE which uses core GNOME tech. Reassuring to see the new Rust code.

Absolutely Fedora. I found NixOS to be over-engineered.

Wayland also has much slower results when playing games or rendering. Sometimes up to a 20% reduction compared to X.

I don’t like using X, but Wayland isn’t ready for power users yet. I don’t think people generally would notice the difference.

I used it for a year a year or so ago and changed for some reason. Recently did a fresh install and I am seriously unable to think why I left it.

It’s insanely fast, performant, resource-friendly and much more community driven than other distros with the void-packages repository on GitHub. Oh, and it doesn’t have systemd so my install boots in 3 seconds flat, compared to the 22 seconds for Fedora 38.

Enlightenment has a fantastic feature set and some very interesting ways of using a Linux desktop.

But…the themes are just so 2005. It’s hard to look past that, or at least make it a little bit 2015 at the least.

Fedora 30 - 36 were phenomenal releases and I mostly used them, recommended them elsewhere.

I had to start using the Spins because the default GNOME desktop is just becoming unusable. Stripping functionality to make it prettier, not fixing longstanding issues.

Then Fedora had that kerfuffle with the licensing issues with codecs, and I couldn’t play a certain type of HEVC video that the vast majority of my video library is encoded in.

Then, more recently, I had issues with Python in their repos. That was the last straw. I’ll definitely check it out again in a few years to see if they’ve fixed a lot of these problems, but I wouldn’t recommend the distro in its current state.

I’d recommend that you stop using Flatpak immediately, it’s a horrific security nightmare.

For a beginner, maybe not. But I’d probably suggest it over something like Arch just because of the excellent installer, amazing community and healthy ecosystem of packages.

Ohh, so it seems like bark is edible but wood isn’t. Definitely chimes with other answers above.

What about those dried wood snacks?

Void Linux. It doesn’t have the heavy SystemD, starts off with a simple XFCE environment.

Not to mention the incredibly fast XBPS package manager.

Totally agree. I’ve had an Asus motherboard and an Asus router. The mobo turned up completely dead and the router was completely ruined. Wouldn’t boot, kept flashing.

Never buying Asus hardware ever again.
