    Pros:

    • Trustable.
    • Free.
    • The user is in control.
    • has many UI.

    Cons:

    • Still has a bad error message style. I blame GNOME for this. If GNOME follow macOS’s error message style, we won’t have this problem.
    • Still has an annoying app installation way. This is why I use AppImage.

    I am sorry if my English is bad.

    If you want to ask about socialism, lemmygrad.ml is the right place.

    Firstly, a subtle one, existence of MRP, maximum retail price, on everything you buy. Packet of lays, coke, medicine, everything has an MRP, over which you cannot sell the product for. Enforcement had been weak historically, but even then you would only see people selling above MRP in amusement parks or movie theatres, for everyday shopping, you are almost always likely to pay the MRP price. I was surprised to know that such law doesn’t exist in the west, though feel free to correct me.

    Second, India’s medicine patent laws. India has strict ‘non evergreening’ laws, which means a patent of a medicine cannot be extended unless you made the medicine better. Also government can give orders to bypass medicine patents if deemed necessary.

    Plenty of examples, but just these few I could think of. Infact MRP does not even exist in China, so in that policy, India is literally more left than China.

    Market interventionism (example: price control) isn’t leftism. Paternalistic conservatism is rightist ideology that uses market interventionism.

    Third the farming in India. A nice rabbithole to dig in, but I am picking one example, Amul, the most popular brand of milk in India, is less like a company and more like a co-operative society, where they co-operate with regional dairy farms. Most of the money made by selling the milk actually goes back to the farmers.

    Nice information.

    I am sorry if my english is bad.

    Fedora is solid, but I keep finding myself tempted to try something new. Maybe I get bored easily—or maybe I just haven’t found the one yet.

    Here’s what I’m really looking for:

    🔹 Large and fast app repository – I want access to a wide range of apps, updated quickly, without weird dependency issues.

    🔹 Great UI/UX – KDE is my current favorite. I love how modern and smooth it feels, and I want something that builds on that experience.

    🔹 Stability without being outdated – I don’t mind rolling release if it’s reliable. Crashes and breakages are a dealbreaker.

    🔹 Good extras – Whether it’s unique tools, deep customization options, or just thoughtful polish, I love a distro with a “complete” feel.

    🔹 Active community/support – Docs, forums, or anything that helps when things go wrong.

    Fedora already provides what you want. So you just get bored, not haven’t found the one yet.

    What would you recommend and why? Any underrated KDE-based distro I should check out?

    You better check out KaOS, Nitrux, ALT Linux, and OpenMandriva

    Also, if you can, please share some of the best (and free) resources to really learn and master Linux. I’m still learning and only know some basics, but I want to go deeper and really understand how things work under the hood.

    LFS book is good resource if you want to know about Linux OS components. Arch Wiki (I’m sure you already know about this), Void Linux Handbook, and Gentoo Wiki are also good resources for learning about Linux OS

    …you mean western countries where nvidia gpu’s are the most common?

    If we’re including beginners in developing countries this is even less common of an issue, when I was in india, not a single person I helped with tech had a graphics card, why would they have a 470xx series driver gpu and not an integrated system? It’s not even the cheapest choice. I recently built a PC in india, coincidentally, and we ended up going with an integrated system for a gaming PC.

    i mean, look at these stats, it’s such a minority it’s hardly worth mention. You’ll probably say “these are just the steam stats, most of them aren’t on steam anyway!” But if they’re not using steam/proton… they almost definitely aren’t using xwayland anyway so the issues don’t apply to them in the first place.

    compare that to the list on the hardware survey and you’ll see how unbelievably rare this problem actually is. They don’t even make the list, it’s less than a 1% issue.
