Finally, modern UI. Mint really needed it, less reasons for noobies to not try it out now

Signal really is that better replacement for WhatsApp since the functionality is identical, others would have to force people to get used to the different ui and the options.

I would suggest using Firefox on mobile, you can add the ublock extension there as well

I love WMs but sometimes I wish there was also a fully featured WM (like a DE) for lazy people.

Because sometimes I can't be bothered customizing the configs and I would just rather have a slightly more bloated setup but with faster customization and some features out of the box without to much researching.

But in my perspective, in terms of work flow WMs are just the way to compute efficiently.

Do you have any suggestions of projects that might be out there that do fill this niche?

Yup, it hijacks the price more. Like how computers could be cheaper if they hadn't windows

That's unfortunate, less linux on the market is kinda sad

I like the idea of nixOS and will definitely try it in the future to see how portable I can make the setup be (hopefully a couple of files that can configure the entire machine).

But the only thing in my mind that is stopping it not being the absolute almost perfection of a tech-savy distro is the reliance of systemd, which has software that I as a user will never going to touch which adds unnecessary bloat to the init (also more unnecessary attack vectors). And if I really needed to have some of the systemd programs, there are replacements out there that do the job that can be later installed when needed, like having log files and stuff.

What do you think of some day seeing a fork of nixOS that uses other init systems and works well? Or is it just me that likes this idea? Like a voidish nixOS 🤔

Still the exploit is easier to avoid compared to windows viruses and stuff. Even with the linux popularity increasing there is already out there good solutions to prevent this kinda stuff like have SELinux installed, use firejail to run suspicious files, use proxies to visit weird sites (you can use proxychains + tor, a bit overkill but works if you don't have a local proxy), etc.

Not to mention that one of the attack vectors of this exploit requires using a systemd feature which is the sysnetd which isnt going to work on other init systems. Reason why a lot of times minimalism can be superior to just having all the features + unnecessary ones out of the box.

I don't personally use that much RSS in my computer (more on the phone) but I do know of a terminal RSS reader called newsboat.

In terms of android, I use feeder, its available on fdroid and you can also install it via obtainium

Fedora is indeed a pretty solid option its very stable and you are still up to date when it comes to packages.

One distro that I personally use and I'm going to shill is void. Its bleeding edge but its surprisingly stable. If you don't mind reading documentation and researching similarly to arch you shouldn't have a problem (since you are accustomed to endeavourOS).

Honestly I didn't even knew that codeberg existed. A Open Source gitub would be pretty pog ngl

[-] BlanK0@lemmy.ml 13 points 11 months ago

Ah yes, gaslighting with ads my favorite.

[-] BlanK0@lemmy.ml 15 points 11 months ago

Ideally it would be better to see eventually a variety of OSs based on linux, maybe forks of steamOS.

But for the time being, definitely adopting steamOS would be better.

I would say the general job market is getting worse 🤔
