Guix is interesting, but I need to use proprietary Nvidia drivers to play games and it goes against Guix nature.

It’s complicated and I have a few reasons.
Keep in mind, that I last used Fedora on versions 37–38 and things might have changed since.
From OpenSUSE there’s also leap micro. Never used it, but maybe worth looking at.
I heard of it, but it seems more server/development focused, rather than desktop.
For instance, I could never get used to dnf, but it’s largely irrelevant on an atomic distro anyways.
100% agree, dnf is a bummer. Maybe I’ll give Kinoite a shot, as it has many differences with “vanilla” Fedora.
That’s a shame. I hope they’ll add support for more DEs in the future.
Does it support any DE other than Gnome? For the rest, looks cool!
Don’t use NixOS.
I don’t like NixOS very much. This whole governance scandal has turned me away from it even more, tbh.
Bazzite is cool, but it is part of UBlue family, which I excluded in my post. I’m not a huge fan of Fedora, no offense to anyone using it, tho!
And also proprietary, as it’s distributed under source-available license:

AyuGram is ad-free and also has a little more TOS-breaking features. Use at your own risk!

Why build a new browser in C++ when safer and more modern languages are available?
Ladybird started as a component of the SerenityOS hobby project, which only allows C++. The choice of language was not so much a technical decision, but more one of personal convenience. Andreas was most comfortable with C++ when creating SerenityOS, and now we have almost half a million lines of modern C++ to maintain.
However, now that Ladybird has forked and become its own independent project, all constraints previously imposed by SerenityOS are no longer in effect. We are actively evaluating a number of alternatives and will be adding a mature successor language to the project in the near future. This process is already quite far along, and prototypes exist in multiple languages.
Because These Things Shouldn’t Hide in Closed Git Conversations
Ironic, because the previous post about the toxicity of LadyBird dev in this community was also closed.
Why should I even care about devs attitude or toxicity at all? People have to learn to separate developer from their software.
You can easily self-host it:

You can install Firefox only as a snap on Ubuntu. There’s no native package on the official repo.
Type this:
apt install firefox
Into your terminal on Ubuntu and you’ll see what is anti-customer.
OnionShare is FOSS and transfers files over TOR network.
People have to learn to separate software from its developer.
For example, I don’t care about Hyprland lead dev being an asshole sometimes, if the WM he’s developing works good. I don’t care about Cider devs political positions if it doesn’t directly affect my experience with the software.
And people also have to learn, that if someone uses any particular software, they aren’t necessarily using it the way developer pointed out they should.
I use GrapheneOS on my device, but that doesn’t mean that I completely follow devs philosophy. I don’t use Vanadium, 'cause I don’t wanna support Chromium monopoly. I use F-Droid to install my apps, even if developers think, that I should get my apps directly from its devs.
Does GrapheneOS founder or developer philosophy that you don’t agree with makes Graphene a bad OS? Of course it doesn’t. GrapheneOS is still one of the best options on degoogling your device if not the best.
Yeah I don’t agree with the osd being the only approach to being open source.
Well, it isn’t the only one. FSF also has requirements for free-software licenses and FTL doesn’t meet them.
It wasn’t a response to my comment because you didn’t respond to my comment. You said is proprietary. I point out that it’s not a terrible license.
I was answering that statement: «does not appear to hide the code behind any proprietary shielding», 'cause it does.
Amazing, thank you!
