  • The work around it you set your networks to metered, it won’t install updates.

    Then in updates menu you hit pause updates then unpause updates, it will check for all app updates and show you a list with “download and install” button next to each. You choose the ones you want.

    With non metered networks, it will just force them all on you with no granularity








  • My take: I heard about it about 2 years ago, either on here or reddit. A user recommended it, so I tried it out.

    It’s good, has a clean aesthetic and a simple switcher to alter how GNOME actually looks. Perfect for a new User to tryout the Windows Menu look, or more of a GNOME dash, or whatever the other two options were.

    Seemed solid and user friendly. Everything worked out of the box.

    And they figured out funding: present a price, allow downloader to choose the price , or offer more, or type in 0.

    Mainly I’m still waiting for their admin Grid product to manage multiple machines from a central location.

  • Distro can alter how it behaves on your hardware. I tried every Debian derivative out there on a 2010 laptop. They would fail install or fail boot due to some hardware error, but fedora or opensuse were fine, and weirdly nixos. All those acknowledged the error and worked around it.

    Also, not sure if other distros are this easy (because I didn’t experiment) but opensuse let’s you install as many DEs as you like with their pattern selections, and you can flipflop between them at the login screen.

    I thought that was a good tool for a beginner just wanting to try out each DE without reinstalling as you change your mind.
