  • It should work on Mint as well, but the theming may be off you will probably have to redo Icons and such. Just FYI, XFCE can totally look like Gnome (look at rhino Linux) if you theme it. You may consider installing the SaveDesktop app and redoing your XFCE setup (the unixporn community has some great inspiration)

  • Satanic is discontinued not Christian

  • Yes But I meant buying a new pc that supports windows 11 instead of installing Linux

  • I meant money as in buying a supported PC

  • macOS and Linux have additional security features at a system level, on Linux most software comes through controlled repositories or sandboxed flatpaks. There are also tons of multi million dollar companies that constantly try to find and fix kernel level vulnerabilities and a distro like Debian, which is very popular for servers, has had less major vulnerabilities than windows 7 throughout its entire lifecycle and Debian exists for other 30 years. So Iโ€™d say Linux is would have a few less (different) attacks

  • What about Debian testing/sid?

  • Linux is Unix like but not Unix

  • The Gnu

  • And what would that be? A live usb?

  • Ubuntu has its own repos independent from Debians

  • And the mascot no longer works

  • 1.Security 2.Up to date depends on distro, rolling releases have more up to date software 3. Convenience: just open the app center and click install

  • As Richard Stallman said: Steve Jobs created a cage and made it so shiny that millions of people want to be trapped in it (From memory so not exact, just search Richard Stallman Apple fanboys are fools)

  • Itโ€™s Not Bad, but against the malware that always is a step ahead it stands little of a chance as it canโ€™t solve the โ€œlegacyโ€ problems that keep windows from becoming more secure

  • That is an interesting sentence: as long as you donโ€™t update itโ€™s extremely stable

    But this is more about macOS having no package manager (officially), telemetry and such

  • If you install an app with apt and it has a snap it automatically installs the snap

  • Currently on EndeavorOS

  • Iโ€™d rather create two RSS feeds over which we would communicate

  • I used Debian quite a while after switching from Ubuntu, but the outdated packages made me quit. I will probably try Debian testing/sid soon
