I also prefer to get my software from the distro’s repos, but for software from third parties, flatpak adds a security layer, making it more secure when compared, for example, to aur.

I don’t have a full answer, so I won’t try to answer it right now, but I will surely think about it during the next days.

I don’t choose. To continue living is just the default, and time keeps passing, so I’m alive by inaction…

Could we uninstall almost all non system apps, make it autostart and prevent any other app from getting in the way?

A long time ago I tried to run multiple distros in live mode on it and got only one (Puppy) to work. Display, sound, ethernet and pretty much everything worked fine. GPU seemed to be an issue though because NVidia and I couldn’t install the driver (it was skill issue and I think it’s possible to do). But now it doesn’t work for some reason.

Puppy linux has 3 versions, based on different distros. Maybe you tried one version back then, and now a different one?

In this world of enshittification and organizations becoming more and more aggressive, it’s so nice and refreshing to see proton doing the opposite and moving to a better model :)

The early hominids must have been awesome

Can computers be properly recycled? I ask this as someone living in a place where everything ends up in a landfill

It would be more interesting if it was open source.

Those are probably the same people running my ISP, because there are no expectations of them ever implementing ipv6…

Follow the link in the post and click on “edit chart data”… You can select time frame, countries, which data to show, etc.

Well… in 2022, linux wasn’t even categorized on mobile, and was grouped into “others”. Now its marketshare is relevant enough to have its own category. It’s something.

With 2%, you would roughly find someone using linux for every 50 computers you stumble upon. Maybe it’s not as far off as you imagine. However, like someone already mentioned, the distribution isn’t homogenous, and maybe there are concentrations of linux computers in some universities, businesses, etc.

Or maybe linux users don’t go out as often as the average person, so you never get the chance to see them in coffee shops lol. If the other linux users are like me, that’s exactly the case…

It can. Perhaps this link can help you: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/dual-boot-linux-and-windows-11

Keep in mind that you’re not just learning to use linux, but also learning to use docker,and docker is a complex tool by itself, which makes your journey significantly harder.

I never user Sabnzbd so I wouldn’t be of much help. However, you could post some of the problems you find, so that other people lay help you.

I wasted a few seconds of my life looking at the posted image, without understanding shit. Can you explain me what the “joke” was supposed to mean, and why is it anti-Semitic, so that I can be aware of it next time I see something like that?

I see your point, but things get more complicated than that, because there are different design choices in many DEs, and you can’t simply change the design choices of an existing project. Some, like gnome, are particularly inflexible in that aspect, and won’t add some features, even if there’s a high user demand.

Other than that, 99% of my daily use of a linux is independent of any DE. I actually don’t even care what DE it is. Just give me a Terminal Emulator and a graphical desktop to run software.

Do you realize how far you are from the average computer user? DEs and GUIs are very important for most people, and are one of the biggest “selling factors” for attracting new users.

Oh, is this your project? Congratulations for the initiative. It looks awesome.

This is very interesting. Do you have information on the minimum specs for the os?
