really? "Very" annoying? :D I see the ads as well but I only see ads for the higher tear and not really often. I wouldn't call it "very" annoying

Imo it's not really sad. Anything that supports apple's shitty garden is bad

I experienced that for windows 10 years ago but (almost) all projects on linux have adopted a new style over time.

I gotta agree that there are some very old projects but it just looks scetchy to me because it's old and just off.

Thats what I said, only scetchy sites.

I have no idea what syncterm is, a link would be useful. I can only find scetchy things.

But you write that it's available for debian. Then just use distrobox and installl syncterm in a debian image and export it.

1. Install distrobox https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Distrobox
2. Use prefered image https://github.com/toolbx-images/images
3. Use debians package manager and install package
4. Export if needed https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/usage/distrobox-export.md
5. Enjoy

I don't know but I listened to it on a walk

It's an interesting and linux centric video about proton

As I said, streaming isn't good.

If you are interested in it, I can recommend the arr suite https://github.com/Prowlarr/Prowlarr https://wiki.servarr.com/en/prowlarr you'll find every information you need within the suite

Sounds like distrobox is more useful

I just asked because you stated that it's better for advanced users and I wondered why because I don't see it yet

Imo, Streaming doesn't have a good experience. torrent is the way to go

And why?

Usually linux is better than windosd

I didn't know this for a long while when distro hopping and since every distro tinkered with grub etc and I really hated debugging grub, and I was afraid of something happening to my home directory, I overwrote it every single time. I wish I have had a separate drive just for it when I began with linux.

Fedora has images which you can create yourself as an enduser which means a corporation with thousands of computers can create their own image. They don't have to create a new distro. That's not possible with suse but I don't know if that's so important since I do not administer such things. I as an enduser do not care about the underlying system, I don't tinker with it, I rarely touch it. That's the case for both distros. I may install a vpn or so.

If you want to tinker with your system, neither fedora nor suse are good for that, using arch is the way to go.

Why is fedora better for advanced users?

Iirc, I had to set that firefox doesn't open everything in the browser but downloads the pdfs to disk. It was in the settings.

I really didn't get the idea why I had to save pdfs manually. To me, it feels weird to not save pdfs automatically but I understand you if you rarely safe a pdf.

Thx for the elaboration. That's what I roughly meant with "image centric os".

Opensuse aeon encourages you to use flatpak. The first thing it does right after installation is to install apps from flathub, including firefox (unlike silverblue).

An example from the doc

For this reason, All Applications, Browsers, Codecs needed for specific apps, etc are provided by FlatPaks from FlatHub.

Especially the following

To reiterate: EVERYTHING should be done via Flatpaks or be installed in a Distrobox if a package is not available as a flatpak. Using transactional-update is strictly what you need for your host operating system to work (exotic drivers, specialized vpn services).

Usually, you do not rollback, you do not go back to an older system. On both systems, you use distrobox and flatpak. I don't see much of a difference as an end user.

I use fedora silverblue. I'd like to switch to suse microos but the difference is so small that it's probably not worth it to switch. (Just a guesstimate, silverblue has some goodies afterall with the whole image centric os)

Probably, it's almost the same for vanillaos. Because everything is within distrobox and flatpak, I do not work with the native package manager anymore (almost, there are exceptions because of the DE).

If I would switch to microos, I, as an enduser, wouldn't notice too much a real difference.

People should stop making new distros for what should be a post install script. But, things are fucking complicated and that's why we need the forks and new distros.

This incus? https://github.com/lxc/incus I don't understand

https://f-droid.org/ where does it say that there are other apps?
