I tend to agree but it still remove more google blobs from its codebase.

2·2 months agoMost of the time I use MarkDown and export as PDF, if I need more complex layouts I’ll use Libre Office
This is a DE not a distro, System76’s distro is named Pop_OS!
It runs like shit, at least when I tried it. Never heard of Continuwuity, will looks into it thanks.
Yeah Keet (and Pear in general) are doing some open washing, branding their apps as open source while using very restrictive licences, at least that’s how I feel about them. It’s closer to source available to my eyes.
Maybe memoria but I don’t think it support e2ee. However it is a self-hosted solution which is more private than a unecrypted SaaS with tons of telemetry.
That is the distinction between Open Source and Free (as in Freedom) Software. I prefer the spanish/latin/french term Libre to refer to what you call “truly open source”.
Open source is indeed frequently used by big and smaller companies to do what I call OpenWashing. Yes the source code is available somewhere but the licence is so restrictive that it doesn’t respect my freedom and thus isn’t Libreware / Free Software.
Also copyleft for the win!
Honestly I fined macOS fine feature-wide but the defaults aren’t great for me so I tweaked many things and the annoying part of this is that I rely on multiple third party tools for what I consider should be native settings to change.
Maybe I don’t remember the defaults on macOS and assume my setup is macOS UX but it’s quite tweaked yeah. I find my config closer to Gnome than my memories of Windows. But I agree that Gnome is radially different and that’s what I’ve write in my comment.
Isn’t Cosmic based on Gnome? I have to try it, I was hyped when they announced it and now it’s realeased.
What about the DE used in ElementaryOS? ZorinOS Pro has some macOS themes and KDE is heavily flexible to replicate macOS’s UX.
- ZorinOS (especially for Windows users)
- LinuxMint (especially for Windows users)
- Fedora (if users want something radically different than Windows or macOS, it’s closer to macOS than Windows tho)
- Bazzite (Fedora-based atomic distro, if most of usage is gaming)
If you’re comming from Windows and don’t want to be too much distabilized ZorinOS is probably one of the best.
Other great choice are:
- bazzite
- Linux Mint
- Pop_OS!
However CAD on Linux is not great, there is some free tools but they are so much more limited than the proprietary windows suite of tools. Maybe WinBoat could make your software run good enough.
Education + Up to date and highly popular distro with tons of contributors + good track record regarding security
Oh thanks, I’ve learned something thanks to you. I knew there was a link between the two but didn’t know what.
Yeah Codeberg looks great and is both European and non-profit.
There is also Forgejo and Radicle that might be worth looking at!
Not a fork but a similar app that is supported is OuterTune
Exactly, that’s the community fork of SimpleMobileTools. However there is also Goodwy that have forked them in the name of Right Apps. Right Calendar, Right Gallery, Right Messages, Right Files and Right Contacts.
It’s the licence used for the code I guess.
Use IronFox (forked from DivestOS Mull Browser) if you want a private FOSS firefox-based browser on Android. Note that it still lacks per-site isolation like every other FF based browser on Android, but this seems to be the most harden option available.
