While that is likely true, Asahi is a bespoke Linux distribution for Apple hardware. It's what it was made for. At this point most of the stuff in the M1 is working fine on Asahi, as far as I've read. They even got 3D graphics working recently.
Also I’m not too sure why FUTO are allergic to the term Donate.
In the business world of taxes and such, companies might not want to accept donations as they might be required to pay most of it back in taxes. It all depends on the tax laws in their juristiction.
Seems our experiences are vastly different. Back when I used KMail I had no real issues. Never lost emails and it worked with all my account (I didn't use Gmail at the time).
I haven't used it in a long while though, so my experiences are old. It doesn't sound like it has improved since. :(
That's true. It varies from person to person. I, for example, am an Arch user, so modern for me is only around a year or so.
Ubuntu 22.04 is old in my eyes, mostly because a newer LTS was released after it.
You might define Ubuntu 22.04 as new, because it's still fully supported.
It's just a question of how you define modern/recent.
Have you considered the cheaper LFCS (Linux Foundation Certified Sysadmin) instead?
It might be easier for the company to "swallow" and it's more general Linux instead of mainly Red Hat based.
I took it this year and it's pretty standard System Administrator stuff.
Squeekboard was developed for Phosh, so it was developed with mobile gnome in mind. So I would think it would work pretty well on Gnome.
I don't think Maliit is that bad, but then again, I just need a basic keyboard when on a touch screen.
