Linux Mint is usually recommended for beginners.

For something more cutting edge, but stable, take a look at Fedora Kinoite (Windows like), Fedora Silverblue or Bazzite (great for gaming).

You can also use tools from blue-build.org (easier) or Universal Blue (harder unless you’re comfortable with containers) to customize them further, if you want.

Take a look at blue-build.org. You create a recipe (not very difficult), that can be set to use a Fedora atomic distro like Aurora, Bazzite or Kinoite as a base, then add your own apps to the image it creates so they’re all installed along with the OS. It’s really solid and also supports rollbacks.

You have the Kate Formatting Plugin activated. Either disable the plugin, or disable formatting on save for your file type: https://kate-editor.org/post/2024/2024-05-13-kate-formatting-plugin/

EDIT: You can also disable it through the edit menu.

If there are people who care about you, it’s not only selfish but also cruel. All you’re doing is passing on your pain to them.

I’ve been an avid news reader my whole life, and recently experimented with completely avoiding political and mainstream news for the past six months (I still read tech, science and entertainment news)…

At least for me, life has been at 99% less stressful. Anything truly important, someone I know will always tell me. I can’t see myself going back.

People would start cutting down trees and plants so they could have more. Then that would cause inflation which in turn would cause people to cut more trees and plants. Carbon dioxide would soar, and then we all die.

Check out blue-build.org where you can customize your image.

To me, the ethical thing to do would be to allow people to make their own choices about their own bodies and their own lives, unless the don’t possess the mental ability to do so. Anything else would be unethical.

It seems to be directly from OpenAI. You can find the link when you click on your account dropdown menu on chatgpt.com.

I’m not against having multiple options and don’t expect Gnome OS to be identical to Silverblue.

I was just pointing out that a distro with the listed goals of GNOME, Flatpak, Robust, Immutable, Secure, Modern, Flexible and Opinionated already exist in Silverblue.

This sounds like Fedora Silverblue, which already exists.

What went wrong was greed. They should have sold to Microsoft when it was offering them a ridiculous amount of money for a business that was already on the decline.

A few years later they sold themselves for about $5 Billion, which was only around 10%-11% of Microsofts final offer.

Checks to see if Baidu is doing AI…yes, they are. How shocking.

I use Bluebuild to create a reproducible system, plus a post-install script to handle other post-install tasks such as setting up initial preferences.

Also Vorta to backup files and settings to external HD, plus OneDrive Linux client to sync files and settings to cloud.

I think this is what’s happening.

If Google loses appeals, Mozilla (and many other browsers that rely heavily on getting their revenue from Google), will have to find new ways to generate revenue. Unfortunately, they seem to be looking for the easiest way out, and that’s selling out their users.

It’s not that we don’t have a climate crisis. We do, and I’m not an advocate for AI. It’s just…mankind. It’s what I think is going to happen, “wether we like it or not”.

Wether we like it or not AI is here to stay, and in 20-30 years, it’ll be as embedded in our lives as computers and smartphones are now.

Where’s the ramen?
