Who needs to sudo apt install firefox when it already comes preinstalled on most distros?

Unfortunately, Wayland works terribly on my Nvidia MX150 GPU. It’s an Optimus based GPU, so both the iGPU and the Nvidia GPU are running all the time. I’ve had my Nvidia GPU disabled for better battery life for a while now.

Exactly. Not everything needs to be a goddamn SPA!

Svelte is for if you hate React and like vanilla JavaScript. Solid or Next is if you like React.

Got it. Get a MacBook and install Asahi Linux on it. 😅

Eh, it’s opt-in so if even if you don’t do anything, nothing changes.

It’s perfectly fine to ask users if they’re okay with telemetry. I’m fine with that. The problem comes when it’s opt-out or if there’s no way to opt-out.

Lots of Fedora haters here, but I agree. Fedora is the best distro ever, especially if you like stock GNOME.

Fedora is a fine distro. Red Hat is still a huge contributor to the open source community, despite the decisions made by IBM managers to restrict RHEL source code. It just means that it’ll be a little more difficult to make RHEL clones going forward, but I doubt it’ll have any lasting impact. Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux and other RHEL based distros have all announced that they intend to continue their operations, with little to no change in how they do things. Really, the controversy is overblown.

IIRC you can download Wireguard configs and just use it as a regular wireguard VPN. However, this limits you to the server that you picked unless you want to generate another config for a different server.

Personally wouldn’t recommend Fedora as a newbie distro because most guides assume Debian/Ubuntu-based package managers. When I first switched from Pop!_OS, I couldn’t understand why my apt-get commands weren’t working. Of course, that was until I learned about other package managers like DNF, Yum, etc. Also, Nvidia proprietary drivers and media codecs can be a pain.

Pop!_OS, Ubuntu and Mint are all great recommendations though!
