Ubuntu is just like Windows now, you have to run a debloater to make it usable.

Funny enough, I find Gnome to be more consistent and better thought than macOS… But that’s just me.

It looks like a chicken and egg problem: you don’t have commercial software available on Linux so people won’t use it, so you don’t have enough user base to justify the development of Linux versions. This won’t be solved unless a big company like Valve decides that Linux is the way and start solving basic issues like usability and installation of apps.

Got it, thanks!

OK… ELI3? Why is this a big deal, and what is the feature/bug fix?

I missed that, my bad.

…until a botched update or a bug sends everything to the cloud, MS makes an about face saying oops my bad, then say it was fixed.

You know that’s not what “native” means, right? Nevermind, me moron can not read.

Yep. To me it was the lack of a working fingerprint reader.

ELI5?

I used to use and love miniflux, but then they migrated to Golang and PostgreSQL, neither which are supported by my shared hosting (namecheap).

I use Freshrss now.

Is there a LibreOffice-like-thing for Android?

Appimages are awesome for the regular user. Single file, just double click to run anywhere. Snap and Flatpak should die a quick death and all the work should be used to improve Appimages. There’s no other concept for the end user as simple and clear as this.

Thank you. Windows is plain better for the average user, and that’s a hard pill for many to swallow. Heck, I force myself to use Linux time to time but I always go back because the Affinity suite and my fingerprint reader only works on Windows. I have no reason to stay on Linux, it’s too limited outside niche cases.

You’re right, I messed up - I always switch between the two, because “update” makes more sense in my head. I fixed the text.

sudo apt upgrade -y

To this day I can’t figure out why it killed the GUI and all terminal commands on a Mint install…

As someone who knows nothing about Arch, what do you do if your app exists only as a .deb file? Can you install it?

Anything that’s not Ubuntu, because it’s the “mainstream Linux”, so guaranteed I’ll find anything I need there.

I disagree: elementary is quite limited with really basic desktop features out of the box, limited personalization, weird interface decisions with some ugly panels, and pretty behind on updates, relying heavily on their own walled gard-

You know what? You’re right.
