RMS has officially lost his removed.

If they cared about privacy then they wouldn’t use a searchable public database like FB.

Fedora.

Opensuse Tumbleweed.

pass - password manager https://www.passwordstore.org/

rsync - provides fast incremental file transfer https://rsync.samba.org/

xmpp - the universal messaging standard https://xmpp.org/

matrix - an open network for secure, decentralised communication https://matrix.org/

retroshare - private and secure commmunication and sharing platform. RetroShare provides filesharing, chat, messages, forums and channels. https://retroshare.cc/

No rsync? No pass? I’d definitely have the xmpp and matrix protocols on that list with a few clients listed for desktop and mobile.

It’s definitely more frustrating. I’ve had a similar experience trying to help people with their Windows PCs. Thankfully I’ve managed to convince a few to switch to Linux Mint.

No systemd on my void or gentoo builds either.

Void is far from torture. It is just as easy to set up as Arch, if not more so.

Arch is too easy to set up nowadays for it to be a “thing”.

Maybe 15 years ago when the process was slightly more complicated but even then it’s always been paint by numbers.

Even Gentoo isn’t that difficult, just time consuming.

I’ve been using a 6 since it’s release, it’s been solid for me. The 7 is slightly sleeker/smaller but they’re almost identical in performance.

Making a note of fd and edir for later. Thanks.

Most people start off with something a bit easier - Fedora, Mint, Ubuntu. There’s no reason to jump straight into Arch.

Beautiful.

I use it daily on three devices running two different distros (void and arch). It’s been as stable as xfce.

KDE has been very stable for years.

I chuckled but that’s harsh.

I really wish PostmarketOS worked with more recent hardware, especially some of the Pixel line.

KDE Plasma.
