Lol

Just a regular “breaking the fourth wall” tactic

Earth the planet is totally alright with everything we do. It’s been through much tougher times.

We only endanger ourselves and other living creatures.

Alright you broke the edge of evil into a very different realm

Well, unlike Bitcoin, Monero is actually anonymous, and sometimes you gotta make payments online.

You can’t do it privately with your card.

Photon is solid and nice

We seriously need more of those chill vibin’ scientists

Nice!

Oh, yeah I see

So, sides were added by AI? Nice use!

You might have answered in general thread instead of answering Maalus in the thread about Australian comedian

Rest down left

Gonna be the most boring one :D

I don’t think it should be about blame game, though.

It’s 100% Canonical’s fault, but it would be nice for KDE team to at least respond to scam alerts they receive and block respective apps from appearing in Discover.

Thanks!

Yep, works

Nice! A worthy initiative

Oh, didn’t know, thanks for sharing on the Firefox side!

As a KDE fan, I had some bugs on some devices (like on one of the laptops, wallpapers did not install correctly and the setting to always show battery charge didn’t work) even on Debian 12.

XFCE is well-known for stability, but seems to be increasingly irrelevant for the average/newbie user because the interface looks outdated and configuring is relatively complicated.

Interesting you mentioned Firefox ESR - iirc, even at release the version shipped with Debian 12 was considered very old, prompting many to install Firefox as a flatpak. Two years later, it’s two years older.

Flatpaks are good and suitable options for many tasks - no argument here! But some things are just better installed natively, and there Debian just…shows.

Steam is a godsend, but there are many non-Steam games and, importantly, programs out there, and launching them through Steam often feels like yet another bloated and slow workaround; besides, you cannot choose Wine over Proton, and sometimes (granted: rarely) you may want to use Wine specifically.

To conclude - it’s alright to choose Debian anyway, it is good! But I just feel like newbies and casual users could save a lot of trouble and frustration simply going with something that doesn’t require all that - say, Fedora (non-atomic), or OpenSUSE, and then go from there to whatever they like. There are plenty of distributions that are stable, reliable, but without the tradeoffs Debian sets.

If you feel like stability is your absolutely biggest priority ever, and you have experience managing Linux systems - by all means, go Debian. But by that point you’ll already know what you want.

Fair. But standards need to be made eventually based off something, or Fediverse will fail to deliver on its promise.

At least, same things should be able to be displayed.

Thanks for this! I guess the point is, people don’t want to dig deep into the system built with different approach as a base.

But you made me interested

Lol, this is borderline evil advice

But yeah, it works!
