Usually people recommend what they use and like. A majority of people is on ubuntu/mint. Hence, they recommend that. I don’t like apt and I’d never send someone in the debian world unless they want a server. But nowadays the package manager doesn’t matter too much anyway. You should use flatpaks first, and then distrobox, nix, or native (rpm). You won’t feel a real difference between major distros because you don’t interact with the underlying system too much.

Fedora is perfect for beginners. And especially atomic versions as you said are great for beginners. Atomic versions are not good for tinkerers, so if you send someone who wants to customize his experience heavily, he’s going to have a hard time on atomic versions as a beginner. A casual pc user who will edit docs and browse internet prpfits immensely from fedora and atomic version. Fedora has awesome defaults and a new user does not need to care about recent advances in linux because fedora implements them already. Especially ublue improves upon fedora’s ecosystem.

Thats not how federation works. Try it again by adding @linux@lemmy.ml

That was not an opinion

That’s not what you initially said. There’s ahuge difference between a gov and a random server

You don’t publicly share private room info with anyone not associated wih the room

If it’s a public room, all info is public. I don’t understand it, sorry.

That doesn’t sound realisticly threatening to me. Besides, if I want the highest security and privacy I use onion routing.

There’s no problem for a public room. You can’t just join a private room.

I’m mot aware of a critical metadata leak, a link or example would be really helpful. Thanks!

It’s not a disaster. That’s overstating it. It just leaks some metadata to the server. Nothing that’s inherently wrong with it and which won’t be solved over time.

Some may don’t like that everything is stored on the server compared to signal where it only transits the server. But for companies or gov that should be/is mandatory. And it makes handling cross client and updating devices a lot easier for normal consumers.

You could run it with waydroid

They’re changing their business structure (or just changed it). I guess you could say now that it’s also a donation to the whole system itself. Like donations to EEF or so. The more (financial) power proton has the better compared to other services.

I didn’t know about thrive. That game looks cool! Mindustry is a lot of fun! I am not a gamer but that game is really cool. And KGoldrunner is a classics

Fuck. That’s genious. I type it new every time. I’ll test it, thx!

He thought it’s not possible to install nix on silverblue and another commenter tried to install it on secureblue. It’s not possible there. The problem is either somewhere along the supply chain (ublue) or with secure blue

Thx but that doesn’t make it more consumer ready. If someone looks the first time into gnome and he can’t add his location he might think GNOME is bad because it can’t even handle weather.

It’s easier to create an alias to curl wttr.in/Berlin and access weather data from terminal than using the workaround

Boring silverblue 40

I’m not too sure I should celebrate such thing while you can’t even get the weather for your location in GNOME unless you live in the capital

Sorry, faster because installing a package is faster than with other managers since you don’5 have to deal with any copr, debs or anything and it’s really fast on my install. I haven’t compared it directly but it feels very fast.
