Hastings. Those who know, know.

Unix epoch for life! 😂

Which country is the pig and rat?

This is really cool. I install extensions to remove the Activities button and display a workspace indicator.

A lot of Workspaces might present a problem though. Currently, the Workspace indicator extension with collapse into a number after 8, or so, and I’m not sure how that scenario would work with the proposal.

NetBSD

It’s open core corporateware and shouldn’t count as free software regardless of the license.

They should. It’s hard to tell that SimpleLogin is included in Proton premium and vice versa.

I went with SimpleLogin since I’m working on shifting my Gmail over to Proton, and the integration was a perk. I did go ahead and upgrade to the Proton Premium to get more email addresses, and I want to try out the custom domains.

Firefox Relay was my second choice since I already have Mozilla account. Mozilla killing services in the past, Lockwise and Persona 🤨, didn’t help it’s cause.

It was funny seeing people say they’re going to leave RH for Canonical.

Like okay. RH uses the GPL like Stallman intended, and people run to Canonical who make as much of their stuff as proprietary as possible.

Support contracts for risk mitigation is a big part of it, and the other is RH release engineering is amazing.

Aside from that, RHEL, and clones, is a very straight forward, clean distro. It’s very focused with everything doted and tidy, and overall, it has a very uncomplicated feel to it. In contrast Debian derivatives are kind of messy, and SUSE tries to stuff every function into a single application.

RHEL does push a lot of technology. Out of the stable distros, it will be the first to put tech into production. RH does a lot with integration with other systems. This has kept me off of SUSE in the past. RHEL was more tech forward, comparatively.

It’s worth a shot. Non-technical users are it’s target demographic.

I would pick something immutable like this. Non-technical users aren’t going to get under the hood and tinker, like many Linux users do.

Yes. Is in the same camp as Silverblue and Aeon, except Debian.

It’s more about your software requirements then anything else.

Stable distros can be a pain when run as a desktop, so that might need to be rethought.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed is a rolling distro which deserves a look.

Endeavor OS for something Arch based.

Debian Testing is rolling for something Debian.

Fedora is semi-rolling for something in the red hat ecosystem.

OpenSuse Leap is a stable distro which gets bumped once a year, so that might be an option.

There might need to be some extra firmware packages which need to new installed, but they’re shouldn’t be any problems from switching hardware.

Definitely this.

I gave up on thumb drives as they are kind of trash. External NVMe drives are affordable, and the speed difference is BIG.
