Fedora.

I’ve tried them all but found it’s the most reliable. It’s upgrades are even more reliable than Macos and Windows.

Packages are very up to date but also well tested. Sometimes even newer than Arch for short periods.

The community is awesome.

I love Gnome, I’ve found it’s more consistent than even MacOs in its design. And it has perfect keyboard shortcuts.

VRR, HDR.

It also had an early patch for nvidia support on Wayland earlier in the year.

I believe mutter-vrr has gotten merged though, behind a dconf flag

Gnome on the laptop, its keyboard and touch gestures are the best for notebooks. I also like its simple design and reliability.

KDE on desktop, I’d use gnome, but kwin has more gaming relevant features.

Yeah but I imagine porting a JVM and an API using open source code is much easier than reversing the Windows API.

Personally I don’t consider it a con unless rampant. However in many cases they’ve dumped the projects. It is effort that could have helped along another project.

imo the negative side effect is the wasted effort and the abandonment.

Same, I was very sad wheb they gave up in Unity8. I do check in often on the project as I felt it provided a very good mobile experience.

The thing is. Snaps isn’t the first controversy.

Canonical, with Ubuntu early on was helping drive things forward, but they reached a point where they started to do things their own way with disregard to the broader ecosystem.

Each time they did this, they cause fragmentation, struggled, and then deferred to the choice the rest of the ecosystem has. The problem with this is that they’re not sharing their effort, they’re just throwing it away.

They merely doubled down hard on snaps which is the latest controversy.

Snaps have their own advantages, but Canonical owns the store. Which becomes its own stalewort

I agree with you, I don’t want the trouble and just use mailgun free tier.

That said, I just need password reset emails for my IAM solution.

I imagine some just want to try, under the desire to avoid having their email data misused for data collection / ai training

Some news sources sell suvscrptions via newsletter.

Personally I find it quite nice, its similar to RSS and has high quality authors.

You can absolutely get by by, and have a great experience with GNOME + the app store.

Its a reason its default on so many distros.

Meshtastic!

Would you really be paying for Crowdstrike for use at home?

Tough choice. Personally I wouldve taken display out over a macro camera.

Did you install from Minimal or Everything isos?

You may need to install the firmware for the GPU if so.

I’d argue there are two ideologies.

Gnome focuses on design and user interaction, then features.

Plasma focuses on configuration and modularity, then design.

It does seem like they are starting to converge though. With gnome focusing on more features, and Plasma focusing more on design and consistency.

Was hoping to see a fix for the right click menu randomly deciding to open as a window.

Gnome is way more put together than Plasma 6 at this point in time. Its rock solid reliable.

I keep gnome as my stable laptop setup, and Plasma as my tinkering with games setup. This outlines both of their strengths individually.

Yes however you’re the only one talking about the alphanumeric keys.

It dictates the location and size of certain keys.

For example the needlessly large enter key on ISO or the annoyingly small left shift key in ISO. You could very likely prefer ANSI as well.
