Is he even very tech savvy? Like IIRC he tried to install a Linux Desktop once. And on installing steam he went ahead with the terminal prompts that were warning him whatever weird command he did was going to nuke his desktop environment.

You're probably the first person ever to daily drive MX Linux, the most popular distro according to distrowatch

Its also for my experience the worst way to use apps.

The fact that I can't "update" my software without closing it first.

Why can I do that with all other package formats? I get it won't be the new version until I reopen the app but still. Its unnecessary friction.

Also with the prompting last I used it Firefox couldn't download anything with it enabled.

Like you ship Ubuntu with like 4 major snaps including the security center and it hasn't or hadn't worked with your shipped snaps for at least a year?

You can buy second hand phones and then Google doesn't get any more money. Easy solution.

Did the same thing. Degoogled to Proton, felt like they don't put effort into their Linux versions. No drive still. And started giving me bad vibes over the past few years.

Moved to mailbox.org, back to bitwarden etc.

The cloud storage has been my biggest hurdle. Filen seems decent.

Cryptomator + KDrive has been on my mind due to such a low price and it has WebDAV allegedly

Debian might work but it will always be behind and if any performance upgrades are done at a kernel level or a DE then you won't get them until those fixes are potentially already obsolete.

Switched to using Linux like 6 years ago. Wouldn't know how bad Windows 11 is but I can only imagine.

I mean that is what Edmund McMillan started as, up until the remake of Binding of Isaac really

The more Emojis in that Readme the better!

Nvidia obviously

You're on a part of it. Lemmy instances are a part of the fediverse. The idea is different social networks that can have cross communication. Decentralized as well.

The snaps while 100% legitimate packages just like the Flatpak ones are not official according to their own descriptions:

NOTE: This is a wrapper of the official package, but it is not verified, affiliated with, or supported by Proton AG.

Probably referring to the add-on for Steam

18.04 it looks like

Did I explicitly state that I was aware of how this worked in my original comment? I did? Oh good.

I don't care if Firefox isn't updated until I restart it. I just don't want that terrible workflow:

Click update all. Firefox is open, therefore won't update until you close it and click update again.

Every other package manager: Click update. All apps update. When I am ready to close Firefox it'll be updated next time I use it.

I did this myself in 2023, coming from google. And have now dropped their Eco system for all disconnected privacy friendly options like mailbox.org and bitwarden for example.

But I also use my own domain and a ton of alias email addresses so wasn't locked to my proton email address in any meaningful way

Dark Souls is a 14 year old game

Repubs like or dislike whatever Fox News tells them to - regardless if two things they supposed to like and dislike contradict each other.

It doesn't even matter. If only men vote then Republicans win. Women add more votes to Democrats. Removing them from the picture for voting simply helps Republicans.

Going to Refine instead of the age old Gnome Tweaks is an interesting way to tell how long someone has been familiar with Gnome.

That being said if you use Gnome how they want you to, you don't need those extensions.

That way isn't for everyone as it's very different from what many used to but when you do get used to it those extensions will feel unnecessary
