I would go kde plasma everyday. I always find little things that limit what I am trying to do on cinnamon.
Not big things, little trivial things. An example is wireless hotspot. I cannot change the password through the gui. Why? Dunno. Deal breaker? No. But those are the little things that kde has right.
Beeper can bridge those into a matrix chat. Then at least you can chat with people who or on a privacy related one as well as the heathens in Facebook messenger
Cable sends the sane data to everyone at the same time. So it is something like, read from the hard drive once. Send it out once. Everywhere it goes, it is just the same thing replicated to each and every reciever, no changes, just copy and paste.
Streaming is different. Every piece of information sent is basically unique, you need to send each piece of information perfectly, you need to read from the hard drive thousands of times, as everyone is watching something different, you need to send unique information to the right location perfectly and in order and at the right time. If it goes wrong, you get buffering.
Cable and Broadcast, no buffer ing, but no choice.
I am very conscious of how much data I use due to where I now live. I have noticed that flatpak's have a massive download size (100's of megs), especially when compared to the deb package (kb to mb) 2-3 orders of magnitude more.
Yep, this is what we use. I always found the others too prescriptive. I don't need to add the type, size or brand of cheese, I just want to put cheese, and me or my wife knows what sort of cheese to buy.
If we need something specific, you can add that detail too.
Super quick, super simple. I would love a self hosted alternative, bit there is nothing as simple that I have found.
We tend to have a lot more crooners in ours, with a fairly heavy hit of Michael Buble.
