Nah the NSA are nazis

q40s is a debian based distro. It comes with trinity desktop and has some very retro looking themes.

I tried it on an old laptop a while ago and it worked fine. But you could probably do the same thing with regular debian

Kde has its own thing now. Lots easier to find than its own spin

I mean this seems reasonable especially with how quickly flatpaks are becoming so common.

I’m sure this wouldn’t happen for a very long time though

There is an issue going over what happened.

https://github.com/h4h13/paisa-app/issues/2

I’m gonna be honest Paisa was under agpl 3 and it explicitly states you can’t just change the license.

If my non-lawyer interpration is correct.

But then again maybe I am misunderstanding that

Hyprland is very pretty and smooth. But damn. It’s reputation as a home to a community of homophobia and transphobia keeps me far away.

I wish there was another wm devoted to eye candy but until then sway will be my preferred wm

I’ve found linux support to be stupendous. I am running fedora silverblue and I can’t think of anything that didn’t work out of the box.

Even the fingerprint sensor!!!

Framework has really great forums and pages dedicated to linux. I even get firmware updates through ufw no problem.

Great build quality, amazing repairability, performance for the price is pretty decent. The keyboard is even pretty good.

It’s probably one of my favorite laptops I’ve ever used.

I mean it’s neat. And it’s oriented towards desktop use more so than any other OS I have ever used.

Personally I am very excited to finally see haiku ver 1 soon. For an old laptop it is very VERY lightweight and gets most work related tasks you could want done.

It’s neat

It’s very pretty and I could see myself using it but I will stick with breezy weather for now.

I just think this has too much going on and the information is spread out too much. This is all personal preference but I feel that I get a lot more information from breezy quicker.

Cool project tho. Really like the radar

I wouldn’t recommend duel booting on one drive.

I’ve done it before and hated it. As many pointed out windows will just destroy that partition because it wants to.

I’d honestly just stick with windows if you are going to need it.

If you don’t need it I’d just wipe the drive and install mint.

Duel booting can work well but usually only on separate drives

Ah cool. This will probably be better for newcomers since they won’t have to search for a tiny little “spins” at the bottom of the page.

Kde is probably a lot more familiar to windows users and I know I usually recommend it to people moving over even if I do prefer gnome.

I think gnome is working on the same sort of thing, read here.

I’m glad to see both going for an immutable os with flatpaks. It’s so much more user friendly for the average person and if you are more technically inclined distrobox makes it a breeze to use it like a regular linux desktop.

I hope both do well

Very excited about fractal 9. It’s probably my favorite matrix chat application outside of element. I just wish it would support calls but that may be out of scope

I can stand behind reolink. Quality products at really good prices.

I have personally installed their cameras for multiple people and never really have issues out of them.

And check with your local telephone co-op and see if they will hook you up with free ethernet cable. All you need then is a crimper and some ends.

Love these cameras

I wish other distro’s would implement this. It’s a very modern thing to do and really does make linux as a desktop feel more complete.

I’m fairly sure flatpaks are planned to have something like this and I am really looking forward to it

A CEO is a needed possition

Ha! Good one…

oh wait. You’re serious…

How is a ceo needed? They do no work. Their entire job is to rake in cash from workers.

All a ceo needs is a guillotine.

Play on linux is extremely old at this point and isn’t really updated.

I understand that it was a tool that worked well for you in the past and you could probably get it working with the right dependencies but if I am being honest. It’s not worth it.

Wine has improved drastically in the last few years and with that a lot of new apps have come around.

My personal favorite is bottles as it is very easy to use and works well for both games and applications.

Another option is lutris but it’s a lot more oriented towards games than applications.

I hope I was of some help and good luck

Based comrade
