Unfortunately boring distributions don't get recommended because users of boring distributions don't bother commenting on distribution discussions.

And it's really unfortunate that obscure distributions have more vocal fans, because boring distributions are much better for beginners.

I thought the Apple network and the new Android network work together? Meaning it just work just as well as an apple tag

• In the 90's: Slackware, then RedHat, then Debian, then Progeny (Debian based), then shortly Mandrake (RedHat based)

• Early 2000's: RedHat Japanese edition, TurboLinux (because I was in Japan and Japanese IME was almost impossible to get working on non-Japanese distributions)

• Then I had fun with Gentoo looking at my terminal compiling stuff everyday and fixing broken package because I followed advices to activate crazy compilation flags

• 2004: Ubuntu, that I used for nearly 20 years

• Last year: switched to Fedora

Selling a new one

That's disappointing, we already had scripts that take care of that.

I really wish we can get a native app and a way to add a shortcut to a specific game directly in my game library!

Yes, you can use chromium or even Edge.

What's wrong, only that it breaks mods or does it break even for regular usage?

It is very well produced but there is very little actual content. He kept showing the same clips and saying the same thing over and over.

Bottom line is "in Steam Deck reviews, media is claiming Linux is complex without any proof or example." You don't need 5 full minutes to say that.

Europe overall is pretty bad, Japan isn't doing great either but the US and China are going strong.

Wages in US have increased a lot in recent years while they've been stagnating in Europe.

So no, it's not the whole world doing badly.

Honestly, I don't miss Internet April Fools.

It was funny 20 years ago when Google started doing it, fun to see high quality april fools from big established companies. But it got old very fast.

The point is that saying "pull requests welcome" is still work for the maintainer, because now you have to have these discussions with potential contributors, sometimes explain them why you don't want to maintain the feature, or explain them why this PR is not the way you want...

So either way it's work, it's important to keep in mind before saying "just send a PR".

The problem is when people then open huge PRs and expect you to take time to review them, then eventually merge them.

Especially when it's something you don't want in your codebase because it introduce a big unnecessary "refactoring" or a feature that you don't want to have to maintain forever.

I guess we'll have to find a use for that new key on Linux, and Linux laptop vendors will end up with some alternative symbol for it...

Also it is very annoying when people say "I wish X was usable but it's not".

That's dismissing something while at the same time posing as a supporter of the product you're dismissing... Pretty much closing yourself to any response.

Every distribution is considered bad by at least some Linux users.

It's just simpler to pick a distribution that matches your choices out of the box, rather than hacking a distro. And I'm talking about Snap in particular.

I don't think it's wasteful to have both KDE and Gnome. It's healthy competition and as you say, innovation.

However the job of a distribution is to gather upstream software into a meaningful OS, and rewriting everything that should be an upstream software shared with other distributions is a distraction.

So Unity was unnecessary "not invented here" syndrome. Just like Snap is.

They tried Unity and gave up for Gnome 3 - however they ship a heavily customized Gbome 3.

Now they're trying Snap. How long before they give up and use flatpak like every other distro?

What's the point of this?

I don't hate Ubuntu, and it was my distribution from nearly 20 years. Meaning since it was first released until recently. I loved it for a long time because it was based on dpkg which was much better than rpm at the time AND it was way more user friendly than the others. Even as a software developer I like my distribution to move out of the way to let me focus on using it, not babysitting it.

But I moved away because of Snaps. Currently on Fedora and it's pretty good. I know it's possible to get rid of Snaps or use a derivative but I prefer to stay close to stock for whatever distribution I use.

If Ubuntu works for you and you don't mind snaps, then just use that!

So if
