Holy fuck. That is unbelievably backwards.

True, but if no one is running thats just their own fault at that point.

Thats an awesome one! Seems like the kind of guy to have a conversation in a farmers market.

Yes! Use Nicotine++, its the best client.

I would suggest piracy.

The unamerican fuckhead's business name is ICS Financial and their phone number is (703) 378-2900.

Evil, reprehensible person.

You dont have to, but thats the most obvious thing to do if you enjoy that kind of content.

Yeah, I almost distrohopped for the same reason!

Even if you do go back to Fedora, you're a more experienced user than you were before.

Ah, well that is a serious issue! I've never experienced a bug even close to that bad on distros with a reputation of being less stable than Debian, so that surprises me.

In the USA, climate change is also an accepted scientific fact. These people are idiots.

I agree with the idea behind this post, and its why I always approach right wingers with an attitude of education. Their opinons (which themselves are caused by legitimate grievances) are accellerated by ignorance. They cant argue or debate because their viewpoint is not a realistic representation of what has to be done. Their platform has turned into a joke, and thats honestly disappointing to see.

The increase in right-wing extremism is only fueling further ignorance, and radicalized ideas never hold up in any kind of evidence-based debate.

That implies Librewolf is improved in some way, but it is just Firefox with hardening applied.

I believe it is possible to have an easy-to-understand OS, it all really depends on your choice of distro and desktop environment. I would recommend downloading a distro that comes pre-installed with the desktop environment you prefer (you can install other desktops after the fact, but a preloaded "spin" of a distro will make things easy to understand at first.)

I think the 'toxicity' of the linux community is, in my experience anyways, totally overblown. Yes, if you post a question you might get a few snarky, entitled responses, but thats the same for any community. For every troll there are many more people willing to help you out.

For an easy start on Linux, I would recommend a "beginner" distro such as:

Example:

<distro name>

<desktop environment>

1. Linux Mint (Cinnamon)
2. Ubuntu (GNOME)
3. Kubuntu (KDE)

I think new users are often intimidated by how much there is to learn about Linux, but I assure you all of that will come with time. Some people also fear using the terminal, but I would strongly suggest learning how to at least:

1. Update your system
2. Install / remove / search for packages

from the terminal.

I hope that answers some questions, if not or I just confused you more, ask as many questions of me as you need.

... from a live environment. Thats not a problem because almost no one does that, and certainly not a problem because no one relies on updating a live environment for their desktop usage.

Whenever I've used an old Thinkpad with windows on it, it has been slow to the point of being unusable. Linux is much better in this regard, let alone after a few years of use.

Why is that an issue for a desktop user?

"Honestly I have no idea why anyone would want a linux desktop for daily use." I like to own my computer.

Its hardened firefox, but you dont have to do any of the hardening yourself. Thats it, and thats why I continue to just use hardened firefox.

I would not expect another distro to fix this, unless the computer's hardware is very old or very slow. If that is the case, I would try to combine an extremely lightweight window manager with an extremely lightweight distro.

As a Fedora user, I don't understand why you care this much about RHEL? I agree the decision is very bad, but Fedora is downstream from RHEL and

1. Is not owned by Redhat (although they are it's sponsor)
2. Will never go closed source, as it is community run and this would infinitely degrade the quality of RHEL.

If you really prefer using Fedora, I think the paywalling of RHEL's sourcr code has little to no affect on you.
