Great post! Very informative! I have tried to install Kinoite but it’s tricky to do with partitions. I currently have all my data/files on a big partition and install the system in a different one, and I can’t seem to install Kinoite without “formatting” the disk. Will do in the future for sure!

Budgie is very much not KDE.

Is Fedora “bad” for gaming? How so? I have steam installed and a couple of games but, granted, I don’t game much these days! Would like to know more as I kind of have settled for Fedora

Yup! Monopoly alright. I’m lucky to have my bank’s app working like a payment entity on Android, without having to go through Google Pay.

That’s the premise behind AdNauseam, albeit only for ads and not general navigation: It clicks all the ads in the background, so the data won’t ever target the real you.

Yeah that’s what I thought, thanks for the answer!

To a “newbie”, what does this mean? I transitioned to Linux full time less than a year ago and settled with KDE. Will this affect me in any way?

But then you have to activate access to Less Secure Apps™. It’s so disgusting.

What’s good about Void?

Option 2. It’s the most robust. You’ll never lose it (provided you have the redundancy), you can use it offline, you can transfer it using a USB pen, it’s available in all platforms, including web. I’ve been using this for 8+ years, on my phone, desktop, laptop, company computer, etc. I store it on a personal cloud (and on each machine, of course, by syncing).

I do that sometimes. When the lenses have grease or salt from the beach, and I have no quick access to water, I’ll lick them. I don’t recommend it, but I do it.

Out of curiosity, which one did you stick with?

It is still true, at least in Europe. I mean, they’re not actually trying to destroy your life, you know, but they’re after the company’s best interests. They might help you, and might make things not the worst they possibly can, because that’ll give a bad rep, but they’re not your friend.

This is a great 101, thanks!

Thanks for the info!

I guess this is the succinct version of the other replies. You’re getting downvotes but I like it anyway :)

This is everything I was looking for, thank you so much!

what makes you think you won’t?

I’m not sure, I think the emphasis on news about distro update around the web. It makes me confused as to what’s so important about that, but I now understand perfectly. I thought it worked a bit more like a rolling distro and I now understand what a rolling distro is :)

What issues are you having with BT? I recently bought a second hand T490 and Fedora with KDE has been great! I have not extensively used BT, but I always use a BT keyboard and it has been fine :)

I’m pretty sure Gaia Maps uses the info on OSM

Hear me out. Go to the BIOS. Swap Left Ctrl and FN! Thanks me later :)
