Although, it’s kinda ironic that Windows, a fully closed environment, is less restrictive in terms of app dev and distribution, […]

I think the reason for this is mainly historic.

Wow, great explanation, thanks!

Me with an older notebook that doesn’t support av1 decoding: 😭

what happened to op is pretty common if you stop reviewing your updates one by one for a week or two

This is just not true. Its pretty rare that you have to manually intervene when updating.

What does this even mean? I had more problems with Fedora on my Notebook in the last few months (wouldn’t randomly boot anymore?!) than I had with Arch Linux in 10 years.

I use the same arch install for 10 years on my home server, and its really solid.

Git/Linux

Oh, yeah. If it’s your primary work environment I can see how you could use such features. I use the terminal maybe 1-2 per day, so it’s not a priority for me. Thanks for clarifying!

Is it crazy that I just use the default provided terminal emulator (Fedora/Gnome)? Why would I use something like this?

I do this too. Folders in the bookmarks toolbar. If I’m not done with a topic I just drag-and-drop these tabs into a folder. If you middle click one of these folders every bookmarks opens in a new tab for quick access.

I think Bitlocker isn’t even supported on Windows 11 Home. I was shocked when I wanted to set up disk encryption on my wife’s notebook.

People just don’t learn.

The page probably gets currently much more traffic than usual.

Reminds me a bit of the MNT Reform: https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform

Maybe, if your hardware is supported in linux. I use tvheadend with a PCI and a USB DVB-S (Satellite) receiver.

Also, I never saw anyone saying anything about a “year of the Linux Desktop”. It’s just a meme.

Huh, that was my first thougth. Why is /home/ configured in systemd-tmpfiles? Seems strange for me.

Thanks, that’s much easier to read. :)

The thing with Incus is that you get the image repository and manager and the permissions applied to containers make them isolated and secure environments by default running on another user etc etc

This is really hard to read.

Why have preinstalled apps though?

To make it easier for people.
