what has red had done that makes you say the law is meaningless to them?

thank you. I’ve been burnt by the lock screen bug and happy to see it fixed

lol. so I guess fedora is pushing flatpacks now? I know Ubuntu was pushing snap, so I guess fedora followed suite with a different standard. yay.

thankfully arch isn’t getting into this nonsense

honestly the distro doesn’t matter so much as long as the hardware i supported. run a minimal desktop, disable CPU hogs and file indexing etc.

I used fvwm on Debian for many years on old computers. worked great. now I have kde/plasma on arch. my 10 year old laptop handles it fine…

lol ditto. but the first thing I do on new installs is chsh /bin/zsh, replace caps lock with control and enable vi keys. otherwise I’m dysfunctional

I use arch, btw

you should especially do this on Friday 5:00pm in production, right before going on an international vacation with bad Internet.

i used to use zfs for backups via snapshots. but I find using rsync and hard links is much more convenient. i can use standard tools to look through backups and track which files changed if needed.

why do you want to make the switch?

for instance alpine has a small footprint. its designed for containers … but I think it has a DE as well

I used seafile in the past. but I abandoned it for syncing. might help your use case …

I use syncthing for this purpose all the time. I seemlessly move from my work PC, home PC or laptop. I sync my data directories and most of my config settings. some are different per system (monitors, etc). 10/10 highly recommend

honestly I don’t see why they put effort into making a new font. there are plenty of freely available ones that are good enough

honestly they are all pretty good at this point. start with the default ur distro supports. if that isn’t to your taste try kde/plasma, gnome or lxde
