I use both. Osmand+ allows me to contribute way more efficiently with PDIs and GPS traces as well as editing existing features, but when I want to navigate, I prefer Organic Maps. I also like more their rendering since it’s faster across all my devices. They are both useful apps. My main gripe is with the data in my area, as everyone uses Google or Apple’s data we struggle with contributors.
The best app for users of the OSM data.
It’s clearly a giant.
You should also take into account the animosity against lemmy.ml in general from some instances and communities. Something to do with the moderation here or something else.
I’m running the KDE spin, because, well, just because. It was a bit strange to think about it, like “Nautilus? I’m not having that problem. Wait a minute”. This year I stopped using GNOME, nothing specific about it, just wanted to try Plasma. Wanted to experience the old convenience of Linux to just switch to another DE with a couple of commands.
I upgraded yesterday, thinking I may have not enough time to do it the rest of the year. It already works great in my AMD Ideapad.
It is inherently disruptive. And “knowing” Linus, if he apologizes for the communication, it won’t come soon enough.

Sorry for liking it.
They are rewriting Neo Launcher. Some alpha builds are available for testers right now, but yeah, it will take time to get to stable.
I stopped using Ventoy. I don’t trust the OSs installed by means of it, sadly. Also, lost any hope of a clarification on the issue. Yes, you should not use it for the time being.
Well, they deserve it. A while ago, Ubuntu was a unique distribution, the ease of use was unparalleled and its popularity followed. Nevertheless, several other distros came through, capitalizing Canonical’s mistakes they catched up. Now Ubuntu is only quite relevant but the only features that make it currently unique are still controversial, i. e. snaps.
In any case, people found their space in other distributions and communities. Some others stayed with Ubuntu and they are still enjoying the popularity they achieved as a distribution for newcomers, and it does the job, really. It’s not that I think they deserve hate, but the criticisms are mostly founded without denying they have the right to make those decisions all the way.
I’d say Fedora is the middle-ground. You get up-to-date software in a stable distribution with daily security updates, and fixed OS upgrades each year.
Take a definition of ACTIVE contributors, because both projects have a lot of inactive contributors that only registered and didn’t do anything but just one update and left, if any.
Google is known for dropping projects that they can’t monetize enough. Maps’ been around for a while, but it can always just disappear for public use. Or decide that you need a Google account too use it and that’s a privacy nightmare. We need alternatives, but in this case, we need free and open source alternatives. We can’t put all the eggs in the same basket.
It looks gorgeous. Can’t wait to use it in my desktop.
I’ve used several launchers but there seems to be a halt developing them. For the most time, I used to use recently Neo Launcher, but it feels dated now, they are working on a rewrite and it’s still beta (if not still alpha). Kvaesitso is a good launcher, but I’m too accustomed to the swipe up gesture to show apps and Kvaesitso just decided to make it upside down for me, and it feels odd even if you can change this to your preference. Finally, KISS launcher, which had halted development a bit but I find light and customizable enough. Not gonna lie here, as soon as Neo launcher gets to a stable state, I’m coming back.
Edit:
I wanted to mention a couple of killer features of KISS that you might probably like:
X2. Great note-taking app.
X2. I don’t like it, but I still use that libswype Google blob to get swipe-writing. I wish they could produce their own in the future.
That’s what I thought. I think the most popular name they have actually used is Jessie.
Mandrake was the first distro I was looking for in a small city, in the third world in the 90s. Couldn’t put my hands on those CDs, not even in the one university with some sort of computational engineering career there. I first installed Slackware.
