The desktop experience in Fedora is much smoother than ubuntu (faster, and more things work out of the box, like touchpad gestures in Firefox). I've been with ubuntu since... 05.xx release? So it's a bit of fear of changing habit keeping me back. I'm giving ubuntu another shot at 23.10 release and if it dosen't appeal me, I'll change.
But considering that I like the idea of immutable distros, I should learn NixOS. But considering the potential learning curve, I should go with Silverblue or ubuntu core when it's out.
Has anyone played it on GeForce Now and can share their experience? I have a potato and was hoping to play this on Stadia, but you all know how that went.
I recently donated to immich. That project created a product that allows me to take back ownership over my photographs and no longer am I dependent on Google for my memories.
Three is a certain quality to writing things down. It is a nice break from screens, makes you contemplate and elaborate on your thoughts. It works that way for me.
I know I'm just dreaming, but I really like the Gemini protocol and hope it'll grow and develop more. It doesn't have everything, but it's very close to the "old web'.
I use telegram and signal for different purposes and people.
I'm surprised no-one mentioned XMPP/Snikket nor matrix. Both platforms are FOSS, selfhostable and thus gives you total control over your means of communication. Check them out if you're curious (I prefer matrix, but snikket is more lightweight and easier to selfhost).
I agree with every point. The last paragraph doesn't have to be a problem though: telegram has very open and really nice APIs and enjoys a lot of FOSS 3rd party apps (only matched by matrix). Of course, we can only enjoy that as long the API usage is still free to use...
I also had this problem where touch scrolling on Firefox selects text instead (on ubuntu). It does however work OOTB for me on fedora, so it's the main distro on that machine.
I had a similar story, except it was RH 5.x. I've been a faithful ubuntu user, but am seriously thinking of hopping to fedora considering how snappy it is (yet still delivering a fiction free experience).
Tabby seems to get a lot of hate in the comments here, but I enjoy it for the following reasons:
it looks consistently on all platforms
it has a nice working sync of connection profiles (even of ssh keys...encrypted!)
its opensource
Yes, it is built on electron-crappie, but for someone who jumps across different workstations with multiple hosts with their own configurations, tabby is very straightforward.
Could the sync be done with other means? Sure, but I won't bother since tabby offers that OOTB and I can get up and running in 5 minutes from a fresh install.
Right now, it's a tie between Fedora and Ubuntu.
