Linux holds a 63% share of global server infrastructure.

How is that not 95%?

Bazzite is good for noobs looking for a gaming option because it’s “immutable” which means the OS filesystem can’t be edited, which makes it nearly impossible to break.

Mint is still very noob friendly, just not immutable. Both are solid options because neither one requires any command line to get it on-par with Windows.

I am trying out Kinoite now but it’s very similar. I think the immutable distros are best for people who want a “Just works” experience to start with.

Every. Single. Time.

With Linux being better for gaming and Mac still the place for creative software, Windows really is only for business users.

I’m going to install CachyOS, an Arch-based distro

oh god dammit

Not sure how Kagi will help with my supermarket loyalty card but thanks anyway

Tried and couldn’t! Was hoping someone here could highlight something I missed but seems no.

Eh, not really. I don’t use google and I block trackers anyway.

Who could foresee that that when a movement doesn’t ban Nazis, Nazis take it over?

I understand that running services costs money, and I’ve heard nothing but good things about Kagi. Can anyone here convince me it’s worth the price?

Oh man, I suspected that was artificial! 😡

I’m wondering if you have the “cookie notices” and “annoyances” filters disabled? They are not checked by default. It’s under settings > filter lists. FWIW the page loaded cleanly for me.

Framework, but their laptops are also about twice as expensive as equivalent models from other brands.

Eh, I just ran some comparisons and Framework is only about $100 more than the cheapest equivalent in another brand with the same CPU/Memory. $200 more with Windows.

From their website:

Computers, notebooks, PCs and laptops from TUXEDO Computers are not mass-produced or off-the-shelf. Each device is individually assembled, installed, configured and tested for you.

I’ve been impressed with F-Droid’s press releases. If they have a snowball’s chance in hell of stopping this, they are certainly giving it a clear and concise effort.

Oh my goodness automatic theme transitions finally!

Oh interesting I read “atomic” and assumed it meant small. As in small updates to an immutable system.

It’s actually slightly less risk especially for someone’s PC you won’t be around 100% of the time to help fix. Immutable just means the system files can’t be edited.

The “atomic” part means it gets frequent (daily, if desired) updates but you can change in the settings to only check monthly so it doesn’t feel crazy.
