I’m here to stay.
Did you see the video or is this a lucky coincidence? I refer to the video uploaded today: “I Used Proton Mail for 6 Months - Is it Good?” (18:37 min.) by The Linux Cast, watch on YouTube or Invidious on Dec 10, 2024
He explains a bit his experience and talks about switching from Gmail to Proton Mail. So you might be interested into watching.
it’s like magic or somethin’.

It will hurt the whole way down. Please don’t climb.
Also implies that you can actually climb it (metaphorical for “learning”) and has the option to stay above or climb down. Based on the image, its an art project that just stays there for you to explore.
Another serious suggestion is OpenSUSE. They have a rolling release (like Arch does) model distribution openSUSE Tumbleweed - https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/ and another distribution more stable in a sense like Ubuntu releases versions, openSUSE Leap - https://get.opensuse.org/leap . openSUSE is seriously a good and reliable distribution that existed for long time, but is not too much well known in the entire Linux world. If I was not focused on Arch based distros recently, it would have been my choice probably.
Nyarch Linux
The perfect linux distribution for degenerated weebs.
It’s based on Arch, therefore has my approval. I don’t use it, just saw it in some Linux related comment mentioned recently (today in fact).
I personally use EndeavourOS - https://endeavouros.com/ , which is based on Arch and operates close to Archlinux, but has some automated stuff going on that helps people like me. Its so close to Arch, that I ask myself why I’m not switching to it entirely. Simple answer is: Don’t touch a running system.
Well, there is not much to say and therefore I won’t comment.
Thanks for sharing. Pretty cool site, instant bookmark. The About page is the first thing I lookup when I want to understand the purpose of a page: https://libregamewiki.org/LibreGameWiki
I’ve noticed that too and try that also. Sometimes the reader does not find anything, but adding /rss.xml or /feed/ or something manually to the link does work at times. The inconsistency is also a problem. But some blogs just do not have such a functionality at all, or is not tested (wrong dates, therefore unusable). Its often sometimes an afterthought and inconsistent.
I wish more blogs, websites and services would offer RSS feeds. I personally use Thunderbird as my feed reader on PC. Not sure if the Android client has this functionality too.
Actually that’s my biggest issue. Give me settings, give me choice
That’s an GNOME issue mostly I think. It has this least possible settings and oversimplification approach, because GNOME thinks people can’t handle it. Ubuntu modified the configuration of GNOME that it looks and behave somewhat similar to previous Unity versions.
But its not about just how it started. Snap was more focused on phones and servers, not on desktop in the beginning. And there were not much, because Snap was usable over the following years (like Flatpak). Canonical could see how the entire rest of the Linux communities and distributions adopted Flatpak and could have switched to it. But contrary to it, Canonical was very pushy about Snap. So my argument is, Canonical should have dropped Snap early when they still could (just like they did with Mir in example). But they didn’t.
Obviously now its a different situation, but you were talking about the beginning in this reply.
Here we go again… Some historical reasons, and some technical. Here are a few (strong points) that comes to my mind:
Ubuntu has a track record to do their own thing and splitting community or the entire Linux eco system, such as with Unity, Mir and Snaps. Unity was badly implemented desktop environment in the beginning and lot of people didn’t like it. Although I think it was a great DE over time, it was just another fuel in the fire. More serious problem was Mir. Mir was an alternative to Wayland, because Canonical was not happy with Wayland and they didn’t want to implement what Ubuntu tried to do on phones. But that meant the programs and protocols to support was now X11, Wayland and Mir. And related to it, the focus of mobile user interface on desktop (Mir+Unity) was something lot of desktop fans didn’t like at that time. Canonical gave up on Mir and Unity (and smartphones entirely).
Snaps were very slow at the beginning, some people does not like that it fills the device loops, and not many apps were available as snaps. Snap is a similar but alternative technology to Flatpak. Again, because Canonical was not happy with Flatpak and Snap truly has some advantages over it. But it means splitting the eco system once again. But what made it really upsetting for many is, that not only Snap is pushed by Canonical a lot, but also when installing a native package, the package manager would silently install the snap version instead. That is sneaky. And not only that. The Snap repository from Canonical is proprietary. And if you want support Snap, you have to use that repo or use your own repo. Unlike Flatpak, you cannot have multiple repositories. That means in Snap you can only use Canonicals proprietary Snap repository, because otherwise you would not have all the apps in it.
There was some Amazon related datas send to Amazon with an app, every time you searched in the search bar of Unity. Even though this is gone for long time, it still is something people (me included) remember. Some say it was spyware… which is kind of was, but is up to debate.
Also some do not like that Canonical is a corporation. I personally don’t have a problem with that (and used it for 13 years exclusively), but its something to mention what problems have with. Also Ubuntu is used in Windows too, so people have conspiracies too or do not like their cooperation. I’m fine with that and actually like that Linux gets more exposure this way. But again, some people don’t like it.
So you are saying I am hypocrisy, because you could not find posts in my history criticizing China? And that makes my critique about the US less true or acceptable? I no longer believe in good faith of your discussion here and will end discussing with you. You have the last word if you want.
Because another countries takes away freedom and eliminates the free market, makes it a non argument if the US does the same? The US is doing the same what China does.
Tik Tok is not much worse than Facebook. The only reason is because Facebook cooperates with the US agencies, while they don’t get the information from Tik Tok. US does not like that citizen data is going to China instead being able to collect it themselves. From privacy standpoint of the end user, it does not matter who has the data; lost privacy is lost privacy.
Ban Twitter too, if you ban Tik Tok. Don’t do half ass job if you are taking away users choice.
Clownstrike + Clownflare = Circus
Now the “ill” is back…
In the end it doesn’t matter.
I think the streaming with Xbox Cloud Gaming does not work on Firefox and requires a Chromium based or Safari browser. I believe the reason is because Firefox does not have an API for streaming games? Or the current implementation is not compatible with it. I read stuff like that in the past couple years and don’t actually know why Microsoft does not support Firefox. So that would be a thing to put on a WOS: Wall Of Shame.
