How have I never heard of this distro before?

Sooo hot take I really don’t understand the extent of outrage about physical media. I don’t want physical media. It’s outdated. It feels like at this point we are just making up reasons to be angry, and millenials entering the “back in my day” age is feeding into this. Don’t get me wrong, I’m angry too, but I’m also a contrarian piece of shit and very pedantic about being angry for the right reasons. A used market is important for physical tech and all kinds of things to prevent waste and encourage re-use, but that doesn’t make sense for digital goods. I dunno am I way off base here?

people with stupid amounts of money

There’s enough rich people. If you’re a millionaire, 3k is the equivalent of like $50 for a normal person.

I heard thr saying, “LastPass is the Last Password manager you should ever use”. That was like, what, three breaches ago?

For fun? Niri + Noctalia.

For actually using the computer efficiently? KDE Plasma.

how so?

Wait how does Hydrogen -> Ozone?

repairability saves a ton of money in the long run, which you could arguably deduct from the price

Even with a tiny OS and desktop, 2GB RAM is gonna fill up super fast. Modern websites are bloated af, there’s no browser in the world that can fix that

Don’t tell that guy about free translation tools. Or about trusting your colleagues.

Oh right, forgot to mention conduwuit was itself a fork of conduit. Man

Oh great. So now there’s a tuwunel and a towonel and they’re completely different things.

(tuwunel is a fork of the matrix backend conduwuit. not to be confused with continuwuity, another conduwuit fork)

Not like using Fedora gives money to IBM. At least if it’s backed by a corporation I know there’s paid people in charge of maintaining it.

What do you mean by free? Why did only those two make your list?

In general, I recommend Fedora KDE Spin (or Fedora Kinoite if you know what containers are)

For your question, I would go for debian. But the answer also depends on your use-case. Software dev? CLI user? Gamer?

Bro used to look a bit better

I pirate tons of crap but there’s nothing more obnoxious than a pirate trying to convince themselves and others they’re somehow morally superior for doing so. “Piracy actually helps the industry” type cope. If you can’t download a game without shutting the fuck up about it, crime isn’t for you.

People like this surely already have issues, but AI seems to make it much worse. Also, I think this affects many of us in a similar but milder way. I would lie if I said chatgpt has never made me feel like a genius.

fairphone is definitely better than samsung etc. I’m just being excessively negative like a good Lemmy user 🫡
