I wrote some insults and it worked.

Pretty sure my insults will be used to train a model as well

idefix ,

I know it's a joke, I hate to be that guy. But this meme feels old and obsolete now. I can't remember the last time I had to tweak my Linux. The fun is gone

idefix ,

Upvoted, joke appreciated :)

idefix ,

It's interesting to read people's issues on Linux. It seems almost all of them come from the graphic stack and gaming. Using an Intel card I haven't seen an issue in forever.

idefix ,

I'd like to use a custom ROM on my S21FE, but options are very limited unfortunately.

idefix ,

Should I feel ashamed as I migrated from second hand Thinkpads to second hand Dell Latitude? I got a 7410 for 300€ 2 years ago and I really have no complaint about it. And it looks better (personal opinion).

idefix ,

Nice, well done. I wish I could find the same for Debian.

idefix ,

Thanks!

idefix ,

I don't understand the simpler argument. Installing and using extensions and gnome-tweaks to change basic settings is not simpler. And I strongly dislike a large number of defaults.

With KDE Plasma, defaults make more sense to me so I barely have to change configuration. If I really need to, the setting is there and easily used.

idefix ,

I'm pretty sure Apple is missing a significant market share of consumers like myself who can't stand their anti-competitive practices. That's why I can only buy Android phones and tablets, until we get decent Linux ones.

idefix ,

I am on Samsung devices right now (phone & tablet) but I'm not 100% convinced and I do not advocate for this brand.

I'm just waiting for a more mature Fairphone & /e/os platform.

idefix ,

Probably true, but I must mention you also have great things in the Android / Samsung ecosystem. For example, Samsung Dex is impressive and I do use it.

idefix ,

That's my issue with Samsung devices: unofficial ROMs are rare. For example on my Galaxy S21 FE, I can't run LineageOS.

idefix ,

You have been banned by Red Hat's management

idefix ,

Manjaro user here, they're both fine

idefix ,

It's even worse with Fedora in my experience. Always some weird default, strange issue, missing packages that take ages to fix until you decide it's not the right distribution for you. And you go with Debian, Arch, Manjaro, Mint, etc...

idefix ,

VLC is still on Twitter? I thought they would be quick to migrate to Mastodon, slightly disappointed.

And thanks OP for linking outside of Twitter.

idefix ,

I knew my opinion wasn't popular, but that's why I'd rather use Manjaro than Arch. I can wait for a bit of stability before getting KDE6.

idefix ,

Why do you say that? I'll get kde 6.02 or later directly, without having to go through the previous versions.

idefix ,

Well, yeah. But how do you keep updating your distribution while freezing KDE version?

idefix ,

They do more than that. They basically triage individual updates in a testing environment before enabling them in stable. I can keep my entire OS up to date with all the latest security updates while remaining in the latest KDE Plasma 5 version as long as Manjaro thinks version 6.x is not stable enough.

To me that's a huge advantage over Arch.

idefix ,

Well, that's my experience as a Manjaro user on my daily home laptop for 3+ years. I'm really happy about it and can't make sense of the criticism I'm reading about it.

idefix ,

Can someone explain what those password managers are doing better than Firefox?

idefix ,

I'm answering your comment but I'm grateful for those who have answered. You basically have more extensive needs that I have, which makes sense.

On my side:

  • I'm not planning on leaving Firefox any time soon but the migration seems straightforward
  • The security is sufficient for me: master password on the desktop, fingerprint on my phone
  • To be noted: Firefox is my default password manager for all my android apps. Its scope extends beyond web browsing
idefix ,

If the only use case is translation, that's probably not a good business case.

idefix ,

Just no. My CEO runs a much larger organisation than Mozilla corp and her salary is 1m€ per year (public information), and that's perfectly adequate.

idefix ,

Which distribs have pacman but not AUR?

idefix ,

Obviously go home to KDE Plasma!

No need to go through extensions and tweaks for basic stuff and sane defaults.
