I love Gnome and would love a Linux phone, but sadly I hear they aren’t as secure as Android, and security is important to me. I’m really curious how the experience is to use it though.
Strange! It wasn’t unlisted yesterday when I posted it. Sorry, I don’t know what you mean by spater.
There is lazydocker which gives a visual interface to docker in the terminal window. May be worth looking into.
Fedora Silverblue. Solid like Debian but doesn’t break and require reinstall when I tinker around.
Very nice. I did not know that. I came over from macOS and Gnome felt very natural to use due to its similar UX approach but I understand others may differ. I may give KDE another try to test it out what’s new since I used it last.
It’s much harder to break if you’re prone to tinker. And there’s no configuration drift that naturally accumulates over time as you tweak a system, so it always runs like a fresh new installation.
I have learned much more on immutable OS because I’m no longer afraid to tinker around and try new things. I play in distrobox and can completely nuke the container without affecting my whole system.
Something I don’t see mentioned often is what OS they are coming from. Linux mint is often recommend and assumes they are coming from Windows. MacOS users will probably feel more at home with a Gnome DE.
This works for videos but then my KeePassXC plugin won’t work through the flatpak sandbox.

I don’t really understand what is different from how it already works now.
Fedora Silverblue.
I want to be able to play YouTube videos in Firefox. And video files on desktop. Layering on rpmfusion didn’t help. And why will videos play in Gnome Web but not Firefox ugh.
Wow I just learned I could put a second SSD in the WWAN slot! Sounds awesome for a dual boot setup.
I got a used ThinkPad T480s and installed 40 GB of RAM in it for Qubes OS. It’s modern enough to charge over USB-C, so one plug for everything. I also have a MacBook I use for school and both are solid.
This is a good question. What will the new bar be once the current “old people” are gone?
Maybe the trope would be people who are too busy to fiddle with settings, like a super busy CEO or something.
I thought you meant using any distro other than Qubes was “playing games.” Then I remembered actual computer games exist.
I’ve been using Silverblue as my main computer for a couple years now and love it. It just always works and is super solid. I layered on distrobox for any other software so I can pretty much run any Linux software ever needed and it’s cleanly organized in containers.
I guess Triangles. Most of them are too complicated but I guess they suit the KDE experience
Sorry I don’t understand what this means. I am not a computer whiz but just like the simplicity of typing things versus navigating menus.
Very cool. I wish the entirety of the computer’s interface was scalable SVG so any custom resolution is possible and looks good.
