Oh wow. SUSE family of distribution is relatively small footprint. Whole story sounds like "splitting the hair". The only reasonable explanation is that SUSE hired some self-glorified marketer from big corp. omg...

Italian Competition Authority wants less privacy for the people. I feel like Apple are the good guys in this case.

As a person who grew up in a socialist country, I say be careful what you wish for.

What other problems left to solve? Right, let's change the logo.

Oh thanks! This is very helpful. Next thing to figure out is how to set those options as default. Found this gem after a bit of googling.

Interesting to observe how our intuition is failing us while dealing with digital products. When someone gives you something for free on the street, naturally you get suspicious and start asking yourself "where is the catch?" But when there's a free app - no second thought. Everyone is using it so it must be ok. Well, Google and Facebook are nothing but glorified advertising agencies. The whole reason of their existence is to make money on ads. Edited: typos.

I was recently surprised by Debian 12. Tried it on my Dell laptop and getting better battery life than Pop!_os. Try this installer which makes life so much easier :)

Maybe buy used iPhone. Privacy wise it's better than stock Android. Banking apps should be working and you get more years of security updates than cheap Android.

Just checked Forge. Seems like repo had been archived 2 days ago. Ouch... I was so hopeful. Maintaining a FOSS project is a lot of work. I am very grateful to all the devs that are doing it. Thisagain reminds thatwe need to donate and support greatdevs. Couldn't help but notice the pattern. Bismuth / KDE, Forge / Gnome.

Yeah, sure. I was running Bluefin-DX. One day image maintainers decided to replace something and things break. UBlue is an amazing project. Team is trying hard but it's definitely not zero mainainace. I fear they are chasing so many UBlue flavours, recently an LTS one based on CoreOS, spreading thin.

I too wanted to rock Debian with ZFS. Had to go Ubuntu due to better ZFS support.

That's why I use OwnCloud. OCIS, specifically.

Furniture was a "luxury" item. We had very a few and ugly options, produced by socialist / plan economy manufacturing industry. Quality wise these were meh... Even then one needed to jump through the hoops to buy the ugly and not very affordable furniture. Rumours about new batch coming to a local store and you have a long queue waiting for hours, sometimes days. Anything better imported from abroad, was super difficult to get hold of. Unless you're a member of the socialist gov and have connections.

Wayland makes it complicated, at least until the tools mature. In X11 one could do a lot, using wmctrl and xdotool. For Wayland Gnome, you might want to look at "Run or raise" and "Window calls" extensions. "Grand theft focus" might be handy too if you are switching apps across workspaces.

Jorge, OP asked about “not having to really touch anything for a couple of years”. I am just sharing my experience. Big fan of containers and really appreciate your efforts of pulling containers tech into Linux desktop. Thank you!

I don’t understand the answer though. Maybe I am missing something here. There’s an official Bluefin-DX-Nvidia iso. Nvidia-containers-toolkit was part of that iso.

On a separate note, I liked the idea of GTS edition. Since few weeks ago iso became unavailable pending some fix. At the same time I see loads of new LTS edition buzz. It’s still in Alpha though. I feel confused.

Appreciate thoughtful answer. No surprise people downvoting. I kind of expected that. Easy to reject different world view vs engaging into discussion.

I hope one group of people can implement some kind of successful socialism model. My personal experience, growing up as a teenager in exUSSR, was pretty bleak. Yes, everyone could get a basic job. But vast majority of the people were poor. Not starving but not too far to what you see now in North Korea documentaries. Those in the ruling party were living a bit better, yet still incomparable to middle class Western citizens. I am not even mentioning that one could end up in jail for basic critique of the government.

Still using my old trusty Galaxy Tab S 5e but batteryis showing its age. Thinking of Tab S9 which has unofficial LineageOS at XDA, modern CPU and OLED. Cannot find anything else to replace S5e. Most new tablets eithet too big or LCD.

I do run it in docker. It used to work great until few months ago. Maybe my provider (Hetzner) ip triggers captcha. Tried tor proxy and it didn't make much difference. Brave, Startpage, DDG - all periodically throw captcha / too many request errors.

Sadly SearXNG is plagued by captcha limit. Nothing I tried reliable works.

Thanks for clarifying, Jorge. I wish I lived in a perfect world where all hardware and software follow FOSS principles. Until then I will have to rely on the other distros that embrace an imperfect reality. I cannot reconcile how Bluefin targets developers and NVidia, unfortunately is not something many of those developers can afford to ignore. Good luck with your project!
