No need to use any of these flatpak/appimage/snaps when I can just make a package for my distro. Most software is not difficult to package.

The touchbar appears to just be a very small touchscreen monitor. I’ve seen people use it to display bars on Linux. Not sure how much you have to fuck around with things to get it to work though
Snake case. I find it the easiest to read.
I’m sorry to hear that, but also, what does that mean for people in your country who don’t have smartphones? I know that sometimes people aren’t allowed to own smartphones (refugees, or sometimes imposed on a defendant as part of criminal proceedings)—if you don’t own a smartphone can you just not participate in society there?
Tbh when I’ve been required to install some kind of dodgy proprietary app that doesn’t work well with GrapheneOS I just tell them I don’t have a smartphone and they seem to be fine with that and offer me a “low-tech” alternative for whatever it is (usually some kind of 2FA app). It’s concerning when important things are inaccessible to people without a smartphone, because of course that’s the baseline for things being accessible for everyone regardless of their phone situation, e.g. people with degoogled phones etc.
If your priority is to not give a cent to Google then don’t use GrapheneOS. There are other degoogled OSes for people whose priority is that. If your priority is security then you’d be willing to sacrifice on avoiding anything Google by getting GrapheneOS.
In any case, technically if you wanted to avoid anything primarily made by Google you’d have a Linux phone. The degoogled Android OSes are still based on Google’s open-source code.
Thunderbird shows it for a at every startup
Honestly didn’t realise till you pointed that out. I’m so used to seeing it that it doesn’t register to me what it’s saying anymore. Probably for the best that KDE only does it once a year; if it were daily I’m sure it wouldn’t even register to people that it’s asking for donations.
Thanks!
Where are you getting this message from? Do they have a Telegram channel where you can get news?

Do you just need to write markdown? Plenty of text editors have a vim mode. Not sure if there’s any lightweight ones that do the markdown preview alongside a vim mode; I know IntelliJ-based IDEs have a vim mode and can preview markdown, but that’s not exactly a lightweight solution, and only the community edition is open source.
But also what exactly is it you’re looking for that Vim can’t do? I use Vim for writing pretty much everything. I use Vim for markdown and it works fine. Markdown is already pretty readable as a text file so I don’t feel the need for a previewer or anything like a rich text editor (but also there are plenty of markdown editors out there if you just want to edit markdown in a RTE).
Oh shit nice. Finally, the free as in speech beer
Youtube doesn’t seem to inhibit idle for me for some reason, so my screen would always turn off with swayidle while watching youtube videos. So I made my lockscreen script (which is called by swayidle)
if [ "$(playerctl status)" = "Playing" ]; then
exit 0
else
exec "/path/to/lockscreen/script"
fi
(lockscreen script was just swaylock called with a bunch of arguments)
Not super crazy compared to some of the things people are saying in the comments, but also definitely not how you’re meant to handle idle inhibition when media is playing lol
If you mean what made me uninstall Windows, it was actually just not being able to do anything I wanted to do on Windows. I was already using WSL for most basic things and tried to set Windows up to be as similar to a Linux distro as possible eg only installing things with a command line package manager and looking into trying to get it to behave like a tiling window manager.
The biggest things were not being able to use some of my preferred software, e.g. my preferred PDF reader Zathura, and just having no clue what any of the commands were whenever I had to use PowerShell or CMD. I only really knew how Unix-like systems worked and was frustrated with my lack of familiarity with Windows and how their OS works.
The only reason why I kept a Windows partition was for gaming, but at this point Proton is so good there’s really no need for a Windows partition. And I rarely play video games these days anyway.
If you mean why I started using Linux, no reason, I’ve just always used it from a young age.
oh noooooo not the copyright infringement!
I think it’s a really cool project and I can tell the amount of love the devs put into it. Far from daily drive-able—a lot of websites don’t display properly for me, and I find their ports system to be a bit of an awkward way to install software. But I love the aesthetics and the idea behind it. I look forward to seeing them develop it more.
Yeah I agree I don’t want bleeding edge hence why I won’t be using anything Arch-based (despite the fact that Arch-based systems are the ones I’m most familiar with, I’m typing this on an Artix system rn). But there is definitely a middle ground between bleeding edge and outdated, and I imagine a server should want to be somewhere between the middle and outdated, depending on how they balance stability and security.
I’m also not categorically opposed to using Debian. Ubuntu was my first Linux distro so I’m at least more familiar with Debian-based distros than most other popular server distros. I was just thinking probably not Debian because of how old its packages are and that I’m fairly concerned with security.
Like I said, LibreOffice Draw can edit PDFs. Try it out and see if it’s suitable for your needs
LibreOffice Draw can edit PDFs. For just a pdf reader, I use Zathura, though it may not be for you since it’s very keyboard-based so might be confusing to someone coming from Windows. I think Cinnamon must come with a default pdf reader right?
I never claimed I was trying to “sway over newbies”? Do what you want, this is just my personal preference.
