Mekuro will be interesting when they integrate email in it. And Elisa is already a great music player that I use for my local collection.

Linux Mint. People praise it as the perfect Window replacement yet when I tried it for a week, it didn’t do anything better than default KDE Plasma Desktop. And since the devs haven’t even started to work on Wayland support, the Distro will soon fall way behind.

Spotify bleeds money just like all the other streaming services and is kept alive by dumb investors that think, it will be someday profitable. Maybe they should stop trying to push so hard for podcasts and focus on their core business.

Big yikes. In that case, I wouldn’t recommend Mint to beginners at all. Alone, the whole Sandbox concept of Flatpak needs Wayland to work properly. Wayland is the future, regardless if you like it or not.

The only reason why this dipshit wants to get rid of the block feature is because he’s probably the most blocked person on Twitter. People were sick of his dumb, unfunny brain farts getting pushed into their timeline and blocked him, and his ego can’t handle it.

Security (Future Topic): Security is mentioned as a potential future topic, with Linux Mint considered more privacy-oriented than Windows 11. Discussions about security are acknowledged.

Is Wayland support finally actively worked on, or is it still postponed?

The sad truth is that telemetry is only unbiased when it is on by default and not opt-in (Not that I advocate for that). Don’t know where I read it, but last month I saw an article about how Gnomes opt-in telemetry data showed that Fedora is the number one distro for Gnome users and Ubuntu was somewhere between 3rd or 4th place. That’s obviously not true, but it was true for the people who activated the telemetry.

But back to the topic. As long as the KDE devs give me the choice to keep single click selection, I don’t really care what the default is. A lot of people will never learn about it and miss out in my opinion, but whatever 🤷.

I mean, their telemetry is opt in and in most distros you don’t even get asked if you want to help them with it. If anything, most people aren’t even aware that Telemetry exists, if they haven’t looked at the specific section in the settings menu.

There is a + over the top left corner of the icon that you can click for selection without opening. Pretty easy to use if you get the hang of it.

edit: Or you just click the right mouse button over the file you want to select.

Big mistake in my opinion. Coming from Windows, it took me only one day to get comfortable with single click and now I don’t want to miss it anymore.

Oh, another Linux circlejerk. Man I like my Debian but this stuff is so obnoxious…

• Blender for 3D modeling/sculpting + rendering.

• ArmorPaint for painting on 3D Models, but I learned recently about 3DCoat, and it has a Linux version…

• I like listening to Podcasts (while I work on my PC) with KDE’s “Kasts”. Use my Nextcloud provider to sync my listening status on the Desktop with my Android Podcast App (AntennaPod) for a flawless continuation on mobile.

Yeah seems to be the hardware. Bought a Wifi adapter today and it works.

Thanks everyone. I tried everything but only with very limited success. I have a very unstable connection that loads very very slow and is basically unusable. I will check tomorrow again if there’s damage and if WiFi is affected too. It’s already night here so time for a little sleep.

With causal user, I mean someone who hasn’t a deep understanding of their OS and not someone who only does the most basic stuff. Maybe wrong choice of words. Causual users like you described are a dying minority since Smartphones and tablets are enough for the most basic tasks these days.

It still has the most software support for causal users if you don’t want to go the Arch route and trust the AUR. But I think this will change with the rise of Immutable Distros, that will become the standard for people who just want a stable system that works + Flatpaks.

Yikes… I hoped that Daz3D would just work fine with Iray for my next nvidia card. Add to this that I was planning to switch to Vanilla OS because I don’t want to hack my system or accidentally bork it 😑.

Flatpaks because their updating works (compared to my experience with Appimages) and the Apps starting instantly (compared to my limited experience with snaps). But sadly, a lot of production software doesn’t want to support either of this package formats? I haven’t seen support from Davinci Resolve or Mari, as an example.

headerbars

Nothing against your personal preference but I take a good global menu integration over headerbars every single day 🙂.
