Matrix works good. Two years ago Element should’ve been what element Next is today. But it is getting there. It still has great backers and lots of users. As long as there is no direct alternative, it’ll get there.

I don’t want american companies owning all my data and neither do companies want that.

It’s not the shiny new kid anymore but there is no other new shiny kid. Hence, it is still the brightest and newest kid.

Sounds like you may want to install them as flatpak and or distrobox to stop messing with the system like on atomic distros

Just make a live usb of the distro you want to use and check it out. If mint has no live usb usr amother distro, most have. Just use a big one. Since mint is just ubuntu it should be good

That sounds like an explanation for ostree.

That is a rabbit hole. There are as many tools as sand on the beach.

One of the tools you are looking for is probably starship.

But you can make it as easy as customiying PS1 with https://bash-prompt-generator.org/

He is exaggerating a lot

Are you rowing back on your statement against redhat? Am I understanding this right?

That sounds bad. Are there any examples?

I mean it would be easier to just say that fedora is american and suse is european. And thus, suse should be preferred.

Fedora is a great distro, what decision did IBM take/influence that makes it worse?

Opensuse is awesome but fedoras atomic ostree distros are amazing. Opensuse does not have such an amazing distribution channel afaik. There is no bazzite built with suse. And no other ublue project.

Immich has traction. That’s why it stands out from all the other projects, imo.

Ente is a great project but with immich as a competitor it has a hard time

Yes, it can do both.

I haven’t tested radicle too much but you should be able to use your “own account” to open PRs on other instances.

Then post that into a linux community. Please don’t post non linux related stuff.

Post it into a windows community, not linux.

That’s why there is mint. To circumvent ubuntu’s bad choices.

Which distro do you use? Those maintainers are the ones who decide what settings and apps are default in the final distro. It sounds like there is a keyboard and it’s just not yet the GNOME default.

Just like ubunru chooses to use a task bar which is not default in vanilla GNOME.

I would be happy to pay someone more money for a linux device than to apple

I’ve got fedora and I have no idea what version it runs. Must be the same for ubuntu/mint. You just let it auto update and don’t care about it anymore

Edit: reading other comments shows that people recommend waiting. I don’t get it. Just install it now and update in a couple of days. Even if it was tomorrow, I wouldn’t wait. On fedora updates happen in the background, maybe I’m spoiled.

You’re right! You can see that in the screenshots. Thx!
