That’s true, but you can still learn from a distro that’s easier to use out of the box. Then, if you’d like to learn more, you can switch to a more bare-bones option. OP doesn’t seem to be interested in learning to configure a distro himself.

if you’re unfamiliar with Linux and do not want to deal with a lot of troubleshooting you shouldn’t use arch. You chose a distro that comes with a very minimal configuration, which makes it your job to get a lot of it working. It’s also a rolling release, apps will update more often and with less testing, meaning you’re likely to experience bugs.

that’s not what net neutrality is

That is the owners account from the official forum, which is known to be real. The Lemmy account was a fake that copied their name from that account.

Ubuntu’s modified GNOME desktop feels less polished than base GNOME, and the font rendering is part of GNOME, not something Ubuntu does special. There’s little reason to use it over Fedora.

Vesktop supports the same mic detection and krisp noise suppression as the desktop client

Is there an actual implementation of this for Electron yet? Also, do you know any apps that use these yet? I haven’t found any.

Matrix does not have the features of Discord. It’s far closer to a Telegram alternative. It doesn’t even have voice channels, a very basic requirement for a Discord alternative.

Bluesky is such a huge improvement over twitter and so many people are just ignoring that. Yes, the app is centralized, but you can still host your own data if you choose. Plus, the customizable feeds, algorithms, and moderation lists are all great.

Afaik it was there when I joined over a year ago. Discord hides some channels by default now when you join a server, that could be it. It is always a shame when a FOSS project uses Discord more than Matrix, makes me way less likely to interact with the community.

Good thing that’s not what happened then. They banned him for violating their code of conduct, which is completely valid of them.

The discord does have a general chat, as well as a memes chat.

They did not imply that at all

IMO they’re both good options. Afaik, Tuta has an open source backend, unlike Proton. However, Proton has had great recent independent security audits, and court orders against them have shown how little information they keep.

Proton offers more features and services, which also makes it a bit more expensive. I’ve used and like both, but right now I have a Proton Unlimited subscription because I like their drive, vpn, and password manager.

Fedora has pushed for the change by rebranding their immutable distros as Fedora Atomic Desktops, and these are likely the most popular immutable distros. Bazzite’s homepage also describes the distro as atomic, but never mentions the term immutable.

Atomic in software refers to an operation that cant be interrupted because it happens in one step. This one of the big selling points of atomic or immutable distros. Your system will not be left in a broken state by cancelling an update because updates do not take multiple steps, unlike traditional distros.

Atomic in software refers to an operation that cannot be interrupted, like the updates in these distros. Immutable is a more confusing term, as it leads users to believe that cannot control parts of the system, when in reality these distros still have tools to do so.

I’d argue dedicating your personality to hating something is much weirder than being a fanboy of it, especially when that thing is a piece of technology nobody is forcing you to use.

Lawyers tend to be honest to the people they’re being paid by.

As they said in the article, they are just listening to their lawyers. I would assume those lawyers are correct.
