I use all three. Hopping between them made me appreciate the effort that went into commercial systems a lot more, from UX to compatibility to forward thinking.

Maybe I can move to the moon someday.

BotW has significantly better open world exploration and puzzles but much weaker towns.
No way to get reliable numbers without telemetry but KDE’s userbase is a lot louder for sure.
All three major enterprise distros use GNOME, none of them officially support KDE.


USSEP is still around the last time I checked.


Microsoft signs Red Hat certs then Red Hat signs everyone’s certs, so the only thing Microsoft can do is to revoke Linux as a whole.
It’s the solution that requires minimal user effort since most computers are designed for Windows.
I don’t have 10 year experience but RHEL desktop and server. I used Fedora Copr to rebuild Fedora packages for my desktop, as well as my custom packages.
I have a Windows 7 VM I use when I need something more powerful than GNOME.


I recommend either Wrye Bash or MO2.


You mean tied to IDs or something?
Anything goes, ID is one way to do it.
This thread is acting like this is a slope to systemd distros requiring an ID check, if I’m reading it right.
The post itself is phrased like that for engagement.


They implemented part of the the low level works needed to implement birth date verification. Commercial distros like Ubuntu, RHEL and SteamOS might use it for law compliance. It’ll very likely be as easy to bypass as it can be since no one really wants this.




GrapheneOS was claiming 5-year support IIRC. Apple level support is infeasible. Not sure how affordable longer firmware support from Qualcomm is.


With Windows you simply have much less problems to solve. Normal people don’t care about jumping through hoops to create local accounts, they’ll just register.
Windows interfaces are designed for easy learning and are backed by real telemetry data from millions of systems, such as ribbon menus. On Linux power users run the show so even blatant violations of basic principles tend to stick since the development version is the shipped version and is what they are used to so UI stability took priority even though it shouldn’t been stabilised in the first place.


Depends on how advanced or niche the use case is. Flatpak and immutable distros covered the most common use for command line, that being package manager.
But Linux will start requiring command line earlier than Windows, random small utilities you’ll find on the internet tend to be command line only on Linux, whilst Windows equivalent usually provides a basic menu.
Fedora is probably the most balanced, being a semi rolling distro.
Everything from the real world found its way in.


Kinda curious why would X11 have that many clipboards to begin with. Different people implemented their personal macros perhaps…?
OpenWrt usually supports a device until it’s infeasible or has no maintainers I believe. Beware of small flash!
Personally I recommend getting either a MediaTek Filogic device or one of those x86 boxes. They have the best FOSS support right now and having ARM A53 cores means you can do QoS at fairly good speed. Don’t expect good Wi-Fi if you went with devboards like OpenWrt One.


Seems like reverse Nazi to me.
The Wii or the Wii U. One of a kind experiences along with the golden era of the internet.
