Go ahead and try Ubuntu and let me know how much you love their “App Store” experience. So many broken apps in their Snap store.

Fedora just works. Ubuntu is like the Windows of Linux. They think they know better than their users and, as such, try to force feed you the things they think are better, even when they’re worse.

Fedora. Literally just Fedora. Not a spin. Not Silverblue.

I’ve never gotten CachyOS to run well. I’ve tried a few times and it’s either updated at some point to an unbootable situation or I had to try installing 2-3 times with different bootloader, FDE, and DE options before it would comply.

I work for a living, so having a more stable, tested platform is important to me. Fedora KDE always just works for me and is reasonably up-to-date with the latest mesa, kernel, etc.

Fedora.

I prefer the KDE spin over GNOME, but I hate GNOME.

Whatever DE you prefer, pick that one.

Man I remember learning my Fundamentals of UNIX course on Solaris with the CDE.

Steam Deck made gaming on Linux possible and that was the only thing holding me to Windows. I had been using Windows since Windows 95.

Microsoft simply stopped making an OS and started making a subscription and content delivery platform. When they did that, they lost me as a customer.

Appreciate you taking the time to respond. I’m so jaded by the low effort posts here that it’s made me grumpy 😂

Another AI generated project from a person who has zero comment history beyond promoting said project and is likely to stop committing to the repo in a week.

I moved from Linux Mint to Fedora KDE about a year ago. Haven’t had a single complaint on either my laptop or desktop.

I feel like this is the 5th “I built this solo (leveraging heavily LLMs)…” code project I’ve seen in a week on Lemmy. I get that development is hard, but I’m so tired of slop projects that get one big release and then the dev gets bored, not commiting another commit to the repo ever again.

Thanks Canonical…I’ll just throw it in the pile with all the other “wonderful” things you’ve made. It can go on the shelf next to Mir.

If you share it from certain browsers or the Google search app, Google injects a redirect link to basically track your activity and who you share it with. More marketing and user tracking bullshit.

KDE Plasma. It’s the most feature rich “just works” DE there is. GNOME doesn’t even have fucking maximize and minimize buttons by default without adding them via GNOME Tweaks.

I used to be a Cinnamon/Linux Mint lover, but their slow implementation of Wayland, Window Scaling, and certain other annoyances like their split NetworkManager GUI between GNOME’s UI and the native NetworkManager UI made me switch.

Heh

I use GeoIP restrictions on WAN and use a TLS offload on a load balancer in front. Problem is the older members in my family look at me weird when I give them a URL, username, and password. They just ask if they can use their Apple or Google account “like we do with Plex”. So…for now Plex stays.

Jellyfin is great and I run both. However, sharing access with family is a PITA compared to Plex. I paid for Plex Pass lifetime at the $75 and have no reason to fully move. Keeping Jellyfin around in case Plex tries to rug pull lifetime passes, though.

I use nano for quick edits and vim for longer stuff or things that need better find and replace.

Who TF cares? If you want containerized apps, run Flatpak. There is no application packaged for Snap that I’ve not seen packaged for Flatpak, too. And Flatpak is better in basically every way.

I’ve gotten my money’s worth out of the $74.99 I paid for Plex Pass Lifetime several years ago. If they ever get rid of my Plex Pass and try to say “Lifetime didn’t actually mean Lifetime”, I’ll be gone.

Ah so they still haven’t fixed the issue where it reverts from XInput mode every time. Glad at least it works now, though.
