That's a really hard question. I immediately wanna jump out and yell NVIDIA, Apple, Meta, etc. because of their incredibly shitty anti-consumer and predatory practices but then I'm reminded seemingly "good" companies are just as bad if not worse, like Valve making billions by turning children into gambling addicts. So, I guess all of them?
It's not meant to be a discussion. She's just looking for peers that may feel the way she does because sometimes a "me too" is enough. I have no idea what the rest of your comment is trying to say.
I don't know if it was ever true that one was more customizable than the other. Maybe back in the early days of GNOME Shell or GNOME 2 you could say KDE was more customizable but right now it doesn't matter. KDE has like 451 million options ootb while GNOME has approximately 451 million extensions so it really boils down to which one you like more.
Or she grew up in a society where women have to overachieve in order to get the same recognition as men and now she struggles with a need for external validation like many other women.
She's sharing something she struggles with because she believes other women may struggle with it as well and knowing you're not alone is help in and of itself. It isn't even something that personal. The only lunacy I see here is all the comments that insist sharing your feelings is lunacy.
First, it's true. Secondly, it matters a lot because there's no fool proof way to update through the CLI that takes into account all of the software delivery methods that exist today so you could do use dnf to upgrade daily and still have old flatpak or viceversa. That's exactly why Fedora recommends updating through the GUI.
Either reboot it or let it die. If I wanted to make the effort to dive into such an convoluted world, I'd get into LotR. I will never understand everybody's fascination with decades old franchises with impenetrable lore. Nothing against Star Trek specifically, I'm just tired of seeing media and thinking "Oh, that looks interesting, I'd like to get into that" just to find out there's a backlog of 47 years of world building I have to catch up on before I get to enjoy it. This is why I never got into Dr. Who, Star Trek, LotR, Warhammer, WoW or One Piece.
lol not happening. Lemme just say it again: Lemmings are completely disconnected from reality. They can't fathom that some people can't or don't want to spend time figuring that out. They will argue for days that "it's not that hard" and people should just learn how to do it or stop being lazy or whatever before doing anything about it.
Edit: I hadn't even read the other comments in this thread before I typed this. There's someone literally saying they want to gatekeep the fediverse from people without tech knowledge.
Literally made up in one of those "how to get rich" garbage books.
