And Alma started at 8.3 because that was the version of RHEL it was based on, which started at 2.1 (but not because of RL, which was then at 6.1.92).
For me apps are things that are fullscreen-only (on phones, Windows 8 apps, GNOME 3+), while programs are small CLI things or complex ones with discoverable GUIs where you have more control over the UI and placement.
Don’t know what tiling window systems would make programs by the above definition.
“for users that just wants to have a system that works without the need to use terminal or being afraid of destroying system files”
Wouldn’t such users want a distro they can trust because people they trust have checked it to be safe? No Wikipedia article yet, no ratings or reviews on distrowatch. Why would a normal user trust a distro who’s 1st preview was announced less than a year ago? Shouldn’t the distro be targeting tinkers and super users, so they can give a thumbs up or down for the normal users?
I trust Debian even tho I don’t have that much confidence in people who think GNOME is a good default UI. I dislike Ubuntu for many reasons, but lots of people vastly smarter than me have looked at their code for more than 20 years now.
10·27 days ago- Making people opt-out of AI in Preferences, AI Controls (and using a double negative there), instead of having people install the AI stuff as extensions.
- Not recommending uBlock Origin at about:addons
- Having “Search for text when your start typing” disabled in Preferences, General, Browsing.
- Making people opt-out of all the garbage ads in Preferences, Home.
- Making people opt-out of “Show search terms in the address bar on results pages” in Preferences, Search. Jesus fucking Christ, UX rules 1-4 are do no mess with links, Back, Forward, or the address bar.
- Not including the NoAI or the Lite versions of DuckDuckGo in Preferences, Search.
Anyone know why LibreWolf isn’t in Debian repos? I know there’s a Flatpak, but I don’t know if it can be trusted since mintinstall says it’s by an “Unknown maintainer”.
And why isn’t it extensions?
Who exactly do they think are the 2-4% of people who use Firefox? How big is the intersection of Firefox users, and users who want to use LLMs but don’t want to gargle Microsoft AI or Gemini integrated Chrome?
CERN: CMS weighs the Higgs boson using flashes of light 125.14 ± 0.15 GeV.
True, and the scientific method and results have made wars more intensely deadly; but science doesn’t make ridiculous claims like religions and other scam-artists who claims that if you say some magic words you can have absolutely anything you want. The scientific method is by far the best way we’ve found that lets us figure out what is real and what is nonsense - no other method comes anywhere close to it.
I’ve twice asked Christians to pray in Jesus’ name asking for the immediate and permanent end to torture, rape, murder, and war. They prayed, and when I next met them they were still Christians despite none of those things ending.
I think religious people are dishonest and/or unable to differentiate between reality and fairytales.
Matthew 7:7-11
7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
6·5 months agoAnyone know why LibreWolf isn’t in the default Debian repositories? I trust Debian - I’m not going to add a repository to get LibreWolf.
Until it’s available from a default Debian repo, I’ll keep going thru my list of all the garbage I have to go switch off in Settings and about:config every time I install Firefox for someone.
8·5 months agoYou can instead try a distro that just works on most hardware, like Linux Mint or other easy-to-use distros suggested in this thread. That way you can slowly learn how to use Linux if you want, while using Linux, so you can later use a more finicky distro more suited to what you want.
For years I used Ubuntu, but when GNOME 3 came out I changed to Xubuntu, and then when Snap came out I changed to Mint Xfce. I’ve used several 2nd-hand desktops and laptops over the decades, so brand-new hardware might be more problem-prone.
I started off trying Slackware, SUSE, and Mandrake; but struggled too much with them so I stayed with Windows. Ubuntu just worked for me, so it allowed me to easily ditch Windows. Years later, I had update problems when I tested MX Linux and Debian, but instead of trying to fix it, I personally found it easier to just look for a distro better suited to the way I want to use my computer.
Your top list is for Gen Z’s where #1 is "12345, combining for everyone #1 is 123456.

Why does the LOC site require cookies and scripting to show and IMG? That’s such an anti-library thing to do.
Aren’t the
AandQkeys also at terrible positions?
Seems like they’re banned in several countries and by several providers: https://web.archive.org/web/20250531154905/https://catbox.moe/faq.php
My apologies to Catbox, I thought they were requiring cookies or cross-site-scripting
