  • I find cinnamon kind of useless

    It just has this beige win 7 look, that is somehow both new and old at the same time. You dont have the Macros and Costumisation of Plasma, but you also dont have the rigidness and tablet-style interface of Gnome. You dont have the ressource friendlyness of xfce. The only thing it has is that it can both render qt and gtk in its own style, but xfce already does that with its very win xp like interface, which both qt and gtk have themes for








  • Ok, let me rephrase this:

    Your kid is too young to understand the concept of a mouse, but they arent young enough to not use Tiktok, a Social media known for killing even young adults attention time. And for some reason they are thought how to use a PC? To a 5-7 year old?

    That aside, I recommend using literally Any OS and just making a guest user excluded from the sudoers file. To install new Apps, just use flatpak at user level, and for roblox theres Sober

    SystemD is really bloated tho

    I’m not saying we should all be using runit, but with systemD making more and more services only work through their init system just creates more vendor lock in

    Like, who needs a cronjob alternative that only works if you use SystemD, limiting your software to people using it and locking out everyone needing a less bloated init system like runit? And who needs a systemD calendar?










  • I use graphene because I just like its way stricter security features, such as randomized numbers on the keypad when unlocking and it not having any Google services by default

    But if you dont care about that and you would rather use MicroG (which is a little project that still runs at root access, but dosent send as much data to google) instead of G services just being sandboxed you can just as well use linaege

    Also, linaege is a Team of volunteers that maintain many phones, as grapheneOS only makes Roms for the Google Pixel Series, so all their effort is towards the pixel phones. But as far as I know Graphene only maintains the Roms for phones that are still maintained by Google themselves, only giving a year or so extended support, but I dont know how long the Maintainer(s) that support the Pixels will maintain the Rom
