  • Right now, it's a tie between Fedora and Ubuntu.

    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.

  • 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 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).

    Here's to many more years in Linux 🍻

  • 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.
