Gui to manage firewall. which one? did you try firewalld or opensnitch?
Which which one?
I use firewalld regularly. Firewalld isn’t a GUI, and it’s a wrapper around Nftables and/or iptables depending on the distribution.
I haven’t tried opensnitch.
Desktop icons. you mean the specific icons of an other OS, or something else?
Not having to use a Gnome extension to get desktop icons. 🙂 Although, other DEs aren’t much better.
Not having to recompile out of tree kernel modules after a kernel upgrade. manually, or even automatically? if it’s the first, check out DKMS
DKMS is setup, and I still have to plan my kernel upgrades due to the compilation time.
Mineral and Rainer Maria. Pretty solid.
