Redeven

Except the installer requires one specific repo mirror to be up, which can’t be customized, which has been down for weeks and the dev isn’t very interested in providing any fix or workaround so a lot of people literally can’t install it.

It’s a bad suggestion, it’s a beta product not fit for end user consumption yet.

Timeshift is smart enough, they deal with that.

Same, only reasons I had to move to KDE were, GNOME crashes when both my monitors are off (so, every night when I go to sleep), and tray icons are terrible (as GNOME intentionally doesn’t support them), the extensions are all very lacking in features compared to the Windows tray (kde somewhat matches almost everything except being able to reorder the icons).

The ArcMenu extension is by far the start menu I’ve liked the most out of all options on linux, and it saddens me that there’s no KDE plasmoid/widget variant

EndeavourOS.

I’m naturally a tinkerer and an avid gamer, with very recent hardware so an Arch based distro fits really nice.

It has just the right amount of pre-installed stuff. Not quite as bloaty as Manjaro or most ubuntu-based distros, but not quite as DIY as vanilla Arch. I know I can install and uninstall anything on Linux but when a distro already comes with just the right baseline for me, work smarter, not harder.

Ubuntu/Debian based distros didn’t quite suit me, I love the AUR to death, I love the Arch wiki (even if a lot of it can be used just fine on other distros), I love rolling release and having the latest everything. I do use PopOS on my laptop since I use it a lot less and therefore I want to update it less often.

Only issue is when they ship dumb defaults sometimes that break my workflow but I can diagnose and undo them I guess.

You can never truly know about almost any online service, you kinda just have to take their word for it, do some research, and pick the option that best matches both the performance and philosophy you’re looking for.

That would require the VPN service to keep track of users’ usage and be able to match traffic to user, which most (or most of the big ones at least) very specifically, very on purpose, explicitly say they don’t do, which would be really bad for them if it turned out to be false.

Just

git add . && git commit -m "sorry theres a fire" && git push -u origin feature/fire

And run out. It will eventually finish pushing. Or not.

Same. Been wanting to learn some new frameworks and stuff, but I’m incapable of learning without using it on a real use-case project I actually need.

And I’ve been all out of ideas on that front for a while.

Some things just aren’t good enough yet.

Like VR compatibility and performance, particularly with nvidia and quest headsets.

Otherwise yeah, 99% of my games would run perfectly fine.

Subjectively, it might be better for you. Sure.

It’s objectively better, functionally, than Google. Results tend to be better, more accurate, less ad-riddled, and you’re able to manually boost or block links to improve your own results.

All phones I’ve ever owned did that. The radio app would tell you to plug your earphones.

TIL. And thanks for the Windows analogues. I like learning about stuff like this.
