Yeah, I’m not doing that either yet, I’m using it for a few things and can’t really replace it

(Actually dig this BTW)

Most of the list is either websites or websites on steroids (Electron), it’s more than sufficient for “everyday users”, but it doesn’t really say anything new about the state of the Linux desktop, it’s been like this for a few years in that aspect, but it has progressed a lot as of recent on many other aspects which are worth making a notice about.
On the other hand I think it’s important to mention those things we don’t have or can’t ever (or who knows when) have, because the companies behind those products don’t care at all for the platform, or care about in a negative way, several of those are used by “everyday users” and I’m sure it can be a deal breaker for them. I guess it’s a decent campaign to cater to those looking at their options with the incoming end of Windows support at least

For the most surface level concerns like risking them accessing any app on your phone, you can enable app lock on those that support it. Usually the most sensitive do: WhatsApp, Signal, banking apps and others.
If they don’t, take advantage of the private space which locks apps until you unlock, and you can relock whenever you want

This is enough to make a grown man cry 🥹

SEXLinux? Where?? (•o°

When I started my own design for Tux I came up with “it’s all about U” written on the repo where I’ve developed it (upstream isn’t updated)

In hindsight it involuntarily highlights the difference between the open source and the free software movement pretty well, I’m definitely for the latter, but it is accurate to the product and its creator

Wow, I didn’t know the Git host is providing documentaries too now, sweet 😋

that’s the Linux endgame fr 🥶❄️❄️

Going through LFS207 right now, meant to prepare for the LFCS. Gotta say, the material is unsatisfying, a few issues here and there, quite a bit of information that isn’t up to date and uninspired instructors (at least it seems, they make so few appearances they might as well have not recorded themselves at all) make for a really lame course, which would all be acceptable if it had been free or really low cost and by an external organisation, but no, it costs a heck ton for what it offers and it still manages to be less than insightful when it’s coming from the same foundation sponsoring Linux development, guess sponsoring is an entirely different matter from knowing or teaching (or proofreading paid material).
What it is undeniably good for, though, is letting you know that certain topics exist at all, so you can go deeper by yourself, stuff which you might not care about or come across otherwise.
Safe to say your Linux desktop experience will only translate as much as you put effort into playing around with your system, which, in a perfect world would be the least you’ll ever need, it’s definitely undesirable to make the desktop a CLI heavy experience, and in fact, I’d say that today’s Linux desktop manages to save you from the details pretty well, so you really have to go out of your way to learn sysadmin concepts and tool usage, stuff that, if you don’t need a certification, you can do just as well on your own with free articles and courses, whichever you can find

History backs this:

You’ve got it reversed, everyone knows that Debian is the lesbian distro 😤😤

I love this, we should maintain a list of these, it’s like that “Pokémon or web technology?” thing
