I’m an Audiologist. Love it when you get one of these. ;)

I suggest Autohotkey ;)

Sir, this is a Lemmy’s.

Like Ubuntu, I like that Fedora is backed by a big company. Fedora is quite good at pushing the Linux ecosystem forward and often adopts and pushes new technology before other distros (flatpaks, Wayland, pipewire, btrfs etc.) that all Linux distros eventually benefit from.

Ubuntu on the other hands seems to want to be the Microsoft of Linux… which is not a compliment. I’ve been put off by things like their pushing of snap packages.

I personally like the stock gnome (on a laptop) or kde (on a desktop) desktops over the cinnamon mint desktop (but mint is closer to windows). Fedora is pretty close to stock (gnome by default).

Fedora has great flatpak integration for installing apps (think App Store) which is my preferred way to do it. Mint has this as well.

Fedora also has semi rolling releases and constant updates, which I prefer over Linux Mint’s 2 year release cycles (this doesn’t matter for any software you install from flatpaks).

I wouldn’t recommend arch as a first distro imo. I don’t see what the advantage would be for a newbie.

Personally I would recommend Fedora.

:q!

Is this a thing in Canada yet? Thankfully have never seen it here.

I have 2 kids under 3…

You can have a nefarious developer working for a nation state infiltrate the supply chain for ANY OS.

You don’t know.

I…. Don’t really get why they think this is better. Google search was good…. Other companies can copy AI technology anyway. AI is really just predicting words and wasn’t designed for search, but their old algorithm was.

Whyyyyyy

Benzene is used to decaffeinate coffee… but it’s not in regular coffee is it?

Edit: looking into it, just in trace amounts just like many other foods, which is perfectly safe.

Just the parts with leaders that hate freedom.

I tried it and it didn’t work well for me (can’t remember why, it was awhile ago).

Looks great. I’ll probably wait for a flatpak and try it out.

I’ve already automated Restic with bash scripts and systemd timers but… used to use Vorta with Borg and did like having a GUI.

Exactly… a psychopath is not worried about being a psychopath.

Could put rustdesk on it.

If you’re staying with windows and re-installing anyway (recommend this), make a ‘data’ partition, then link my documents, pictures etc. To identical folders on the data partition. Save user files on the data partition only.

That way, next time to reinstall it’s not a big deal at all, just relink the data folders. Your data is never touched and re installing is easy.

Or use Linux ;)

Edit: Something like this.
