The main problem is the way YaST2 is (not) integrated with the modern KDE and Gnome settings. Gnome 40 then screwed things up even more for them as every item is now part of the overview, there ain't the classical menu anymore.

If you know where to find things it's great, but right now it indeed feels quite messy with lots of settings hard to find and split in lots of submenus.

The only fair comparison of Linux distros is always on devices of Linux vendors as they both pick the right hardware as well as merge Kernel patches if necessary.

I do however concur that OpenSuse offers basically everything. Except for intuitive system settings - but at least they're all there, you never really have to use the CLI. Other than with others who will eventually lack something. Also the bootable btrfs snapshots by default are a dream for common users.

for me it's 2 consecutive "nights" of 17 hours. That way I'll get about 3 to 4 hours of actual quality awakeness. Doesn't work always though, sometimes I can't fall asleep enough.

Anything below that is always crap, no matter what.

Like every time a country conducts genocide people close their eyes and don't want to admit that, facing such crimes against humanity, every single Israeli has the duty to do whatever they can to stop their government. No matter if its a Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Jinping, Putin or Netanyahu (or some political conglomerate), and no matter where the injustice and moral corruption began or what once was, the people have to stand up against a corrupt system at that point. Of they don't they are indeed complicit, every single time.

Of course they would. And communist regimes literally did consolidate into dictatorships on their own from the very beginning. At the end communism is inherently authoritarian, which is the core problem.

The current downfall of capitalism could likewise be blamed on Russian influence to make it look less awful, which is likewise documented. While it holds truth it still is a really bad argument.

It's hilarious how I don't even need to say anything more than that those two websites are bad and you immediately constructed a whole bogeyman to punch at.

Anyone who's visiting lemmygrad.ml (btw having a logo literally showing a battle tank) for more than 30 minutes and reading replies will not just see phenomenal bias towards China, the USSR and BRICS but utter denial of anything bad about them (usually through a mix of whataboutism and rabbit holes of political theory that eventually lead nowhere unless seen through a romanticized lense). Common "NATO caused Ukraine" and even old USSR propaganda nonsense gets flung around. Meanwhile you have to click through it really hard to find even one, for example, China-critical post (couldn't find even one). Same with hexbear. The bias is as bad as your comebacks.

Well educated people are able to see and criticize all kind of wrongdoing, let it be from Russia, Israel, USA, China, socialism, capitalism or even some internet dork in the comment section. Those communities can not, they're purely ideology- and doctrin-driven.

I welcome anyone reading this to visit lemmygrad.ml or hexbear.net and make up their own mind. 🙂

Nice bogeyman you got there, really polished. You must have worked hard on it.

My brother in penguin computers, that wasn't a negative post. I just mentioned all the things to point out that switching OS can be really hard and the first time getting to Linux ain't all sunshine and rainbows. 😉

Really just needs one problem with some necessity you can't fix to screw up the whole experience. Doesn't even have to be Linux' fault; just thinking about god damn printers…

A third one is being worked on silently (Linux Mobile), however that will most likely only be a niche choice for those who already ain't being caught and locked into Silicon Valleys "products". Due to its very nature there is no VC money involved and therefore no big fanfare planed, even when finished.

It's still very much a dev platform right now, even though the Pinephone is freely purchasable.

This. I wholeheartedly concur that corporate "social" media is fucking shit up like hell, however as long as people are socially stuck there they will be around, as as long as that is the case people who need to make a living will have to roll out stuff and communicate with people there.

In fact this is specifically the kind of tool a friend and me looked for but couldn't find as FOSS until now, although we'd definitely need support for the Mastodon API / Lemmy.

One may argue which platforms to choose (depending on what you want to show people or who you want to reach). But completely abandoning garbage platforms ain't possible right now, especially for small businesses who need to be seen somewhere.

This is part of Googles strategy. Ever since the Chromium engine took off enough and everyone else fell behind they began introducing more and more changes that merely benefits them, with less public debate or proper communication (or even adherence to common standards). Last thing I remember, aside of manifest v3, was them killing off JPEG XL as it was a competitor to webp and webm (which they control). JPEG XL was actively worked on and would've probably turned out better before they killed it without any previous notice.

Given Googles dominant market position, their influence and everyone wanting to cut corners wherever possible sometimes Firefox support is just ignored.

tl;dr It's not Firefox' fault. It's Google's sabotage.

I'd like to see memes that are embracing the left but with a clear cut against authoritarianism. This one is too ambiguous.
