It’s not semantics, they are two different things.
And to your edit… Are you upset that there are two different words that mean two different things? I don’t understand.
they decided to create a bigger confusion by giving another word a completely different and exclusive meaning
Isn’t this just how words work…?
Do a little research, dude… Do you think you’re the first person to have those questions/issues? That’s all been addressed.
I’ve been on an atomic/immutable distro for a few months now (Bazzite), and the experience has been great.
Plasma is KDE, it’s a desktop environment… So it would be comparable to “Cinnamon” or “MATE” for Linux Mint (I believe. I’ve never used Mint), not Fedora or Mint (which are distros).
You should be able to run Fedora with KDE and Wayland should work (unless it’s a hardware compatibility issue).
I used timeshift (plus timeshift-autosnap, and I think it was, timeshift-btrfs) for a couple of years on EndeavourOS, and it saved my ass on multiple occasions. Btrfs made it so the snapshots were iterative, and therefore only the first one is large.
Now I’m on Bazzite (loving it), and ostree has basically made snapshots obsolete.
I’ve been on Bazzite for a month or two now, and the experience has been fantastic. Still learning about ostree, and the quirks of immutable, but so far I’ve been loving it.
I went from EOS to Bazzite, and I can recommend both of them.
Just ignore the existence of proton, despite it being mentioned by name.
To be fair, Windows has its own jank. As someone who is forced to use Windows 11 for work, I’m much happier putting up with the minimum Linux jank I’ve experienced compared to the Windows jank.
If any of that made sense.

Good to know, thanks. If the FreeTube flatpak is working for me, I might as well try the Newpipe one if it’s that much better. I guess I just assumed that the translation layer would add CPU overhead.
I’ll have to look into Grayjay. Is there a flatpak? I’m on immutable, so flatpak is much preferred.
I’ve been using FreeTube on desktop and it has worked great (with VPN)
Yeah, well… Look around
Yes. I am a bot for not paying attention to user names and assuming that the commentor who defended the comment I replied to, was the same person that made the original comment.
Because this isn’t a post about the results of sanctions against the US?
I started using Outlook in my Firefox browser during COVID, and have not gone back. Seems to connect to Teams just fine
Maybe it’s because of Wayland, but that hasn’t been my experience with KDE. It has been lightning quick lately (though I recently switched to an immutable distro so that could be part of it)
People say shit like this, then move over to the thread about Russian maintainers, and lose their shit about it…
These are one in the same. Sanctions have been imposed on Russia because working with Russian people/companies is a national security risk at the moment.
And yes, I know that the Russian people are not the Russian government. But one thing many of you don’t seem to grasp (perhaps due to the massive holes in basic understanding that your STEM degree left you with?) is that, in an authoritarian country where numerous people have been thrown out of windows for less, you cannot trust that the government is not actively interfering. In fact, given recent history, it would be pretty surprising if they weren’t.
Would you put in a backdoor if your government (very credibly) threatened to kill you and/or your family if you didn’t? I can’t say that I wouldn’t.
Earlier this week I unzipped a file and couldn’t remove resulting files without administrator privileges.
To be fair, this kind of stuff happened to me when I first switched to Linux, before I got a better grasp on file permissions.
It’s not confusing at all… How is this any more confusing than:
Flatpak - they’re not literally flat…
Snap - I’ve never seen or heard any evidence of something snapping by any definition of the word I’m aware of.
Dolphin - what the fuck is this, no sea life whatsoever!
Kate - this is a text editor, not a person.
Distrobox - not in an actual box.
etc.
