  • Maybe give an immutable OS, like Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite a try?

    The idea is that it's very hard to break the system, because apps are containerized, so they don't 'touch' the system, and updates take effect only on reboots.

    If update is broken, it won't apply. And you can always rollback to previous state, if you don't like something.

    You don't need to install stuff from the terminal, and you can install them from a GUI 'store'.

  • You can use Obtainium to download them directly from GiHub, amd some other sources.

  • Sooo smoll.

  • I think we need some more pictures. Just to be sure, of course.

  • Trust is something only you can give.

    I tend to trust known developers that work on projects without scandals in the last 5 years.

  • Nautilus is part of the Gnome 'suite'. You can install vanilla Gnome, it'd come with it.

    Canonical has nothing to do with it.

  • It's so weird to see them making the 'good guys' move now.

  • I use TempleOS BTW.

  • AFAIK, adding a custom 'collection' is the only way to add custom add-on RN (or downloading browser like IceRaven, that simply does it for you).

  • On FireFox Beta/Nightly and more privacy-focused forks, like Mull and Fennec, you can enable 'Custom Add-on collection'.

    You can enable it by going to Settings > About

    <browser-name>

    > and tapping the logo 3(?) times.

    You can add your iwn account, or any shared 'collection'.

    I find Redirector more useful than the other options, because you're not limited, and can add any site you want.

  • If you're not fixed on GOS, you can install any other compatible ROM, like /e/, LineageOS, or PixelExperience.

    All of them are better from stock. You may find other unofficial ROMs on XDA. But, be careful with unofficial ROMs.

  • Linux Mint is great, no Gnome.

    Fedora is good choice too. It comes by default with Gnome, but it's very easy to switch to KDE, or XFCE.

  • I'm not sure that's the solution you're looking for; but, you can set it to display only on the working side of the monitor.

    So the OS would use it, as a 'smaller' screen.

    How to.. on Windows [note that you also have an external softwares like CRU] (unfortunately, I can't vouch that CRU is good, I've never used it).

  • The goals each one is trying to achieve.

    Arch is build it yourself. You are presented with a CLI (command-line interface) installer, and you decide what do you want to have on your system.

    Another thing Arch is trying to achieve is the principal of KISS, keep it simple. The software should do what is was meant to do, and that's it.

    Ubuntu's 'goal' is to give the user experience of 'it just works'.

    Pros to Arch - you know exactly what you have on your system, and you have more control.

    Cons to Arch - you are in cotrol, so you need to be careful not mess things up (if something happened, it's the user fault).

    Pros to Ubuntu - you have a lot of software installed, and you don't need to set up a lot. So it's very easy for new users.

    Cons to Ubuntu - you have a lot of software installed. Some of them you might not use, at all (some would say it's a bloatware).

  • I remember some stuff too. But unlike the comments, I remember it was regarding privacy.

    (I don't remember what it was, and anyone I asked didn't know what I'm talking about lol)
