Social distancing, and a lot of other covid-related stuff

Anything can be a square hole if you’re brave enough.

The USE flags (feature compilation option) can be a bit tricky to manage, but they’ve tidied up the defaults quite a bit.

The one thing that might still be hard to get right is having all the media codec you need. I wish they’d include it in the default so I didn’t have to fine tune it myself, but well, that’s just part of the fun, and I already got my battle-tested set, so I got nothing to complain.

This is me, as long as you replace the Powerbook with a Thinkpad T420.

They are, but for AMD, it won’t matter much as the driver has matured by kernel 6.1

As a fan of both Fedora and KDE, I’d say there are better alternatives than Fedora KDE Spin.

I can never understand why they’d go for GNOME for their use case. Don’t they want to have it as light as possible? Probably could’ve gone with XFCE or MATE.

Gentoo lets you trim the fat even more by adjusting your packages at build-time. It has great KDE support. It comes with LTS kernel, but lets you opt for newer ones.

On the other side: point-release distro, LTS kernel, also very good KDE support, practically unbreakable?

Debian to the rescue.

This one won’t lead to Arch.

Should’ve based it on the New Testament.

Realtek wifi is the bane of open source driver

Ah yes, the good old Osborne

I am a big fan of KDE in general, but I feel like on Fedora, GNOME is more polished. I’ve tried using KDE on Fedora and it felt like a second-class citizen. Sadly this also applies to Alma Linux.

I use KDE regularly on Debian and Gentoo. I also have tried it on Ubuntu, Arch, and Slackware. So I have some ideas on how good it could’ve been.

i knew i should’ve gone with roundpack instead :(

Who hate flatpak?

Pretty much the same way you do on Windows & Mac.

It takes a special kind to run and maintain a mail server. More so for doing it for such a long time.

Aeon

if it makes you feel better, that’s good for you.

Maybe KDE?

Also I find Debian documentations are pretty lackluster.
