Windows will reach 12 this year. Double score!
I have been using wayland on kde the last two years on Debian and MX Linux with zero issues. My general usa includes coding, music production, Libre office and web browsing. So, no much gaming, if that is your concern.
I think we should address this question to the site. Neither is acceptable though.
That's a fantastic description!
Sorry mate. I love them all! All free software, especially GPL-based but still have high appreciation for the BSDs as well. Even Red Hat that has messed everything up recently, has a soft spot in my heart, with Fedora being the first distro I really enjoyed Linux in 2003 (very first Fedora Core). However, IBM/RedHat make a real effort to become the one and only distro that I may list here.
One of the many values of GNU/Linux, and free software in general, is choice. You don't have to use any particular distro if it doesn't fit your use case or preferences. I don't use Gentoo but really appreciate that it exists. If I ever wanted more control over my system, I could turn to this tried and tested distro. I am quite lazy these days and from a short period of breaking Arch, I started breaking Debian, then staying with Debian stable without breaking it and now I have moved to MX Linux, which is Debian that someone else (the MX/Antix team) have set up in the way that I want without having to install everything myself. But, yes. There is great value in Gentoo (like in Kali, Tails, Slackware, Guix, etc).
Your response is problematic because you wrote it with a healthy state of mind. And that will soon be punishable @KreekyBonez@lemm.ee
George Orwell was 39 years late. Or so we think we know...
I am sure that most people here adopt the principles of FOSS. I wouldn't miss at all the various "mainstream" subs with poor content but some of the best subs could be encouraged to migrate to the fediverse. I have really high hopes for this project.
I moved to Debian and MX Linux because Ubuntu was deviating from the principles that are important to me. Can I ask why you prefer Firefox-ESR? It's the first thing I remove when I install Debian! And why do you stick with Ubuntu if you don't like snaps? Do you have any compatibility issues with other deb-based distros?
Sorry, I am not a big fan of long podcasts (or even videos). If you can share the final conclusion, it would be great. I am really interested in this story and don't think that it has been covered bilateraly in the various forums.
My first distro was Suse Linux 8.1. I had to buy the box as downloading was not an option with my dial-up connection back then. However, the first distro that I fell in love with was Fedora Core. The original one. I bought the book which had the DVD with the full installation. I was hooked. That was more than 20 years ago.
