I have a bunch of issues(some way smaller and borderline nitpicks) with windows, but I guess there’s some big ones:

1. Linux runs smoothly on older computers, even with KDE which everyone talks about as if it was heavy. Windows is a slug in comparison.

2. Linux is free, truly free. Microsoft can’t beat that.

3. Shit just works (unless you are on Nvidia…), don’t need to install drivers and shit like that.

4. most of the software you don’t get from a random website and they all update at once, rather than having each one update itself and only itself

It makes translation more of a headache than it needs to be.

iirc sudo has a bunch of quotes to spit out when an incorrect password is typed. Gentoo exposes that feature with the offensive USE flag.

Argh, why tho?

Like, I get that it is sometimes fun to throw some humor and things like that, but it is just too much trouble. It looks unprofessional and makes translation more of a pain than it needs to be. And that isn’t even opening the can of worms that insults actually are

Edit: alright, I got it. L for me

Hmm, the GUI is reasonable and easy to understand. I wonder if Gamescope can be changed while the game is running, so it could be put in the Quick Access menu

So one big disk for your Steam library and whatever you play might be slow on the first load but then as you play the game files gets promoted to the NVMe cache and perform mostly at NVMe speeds, and your loading screens are much shorter.

I really love/hate how you can immediately understand the practical application of new technologies through the use of games.

I always use Flatpaks when available, I have been using it for about 1~2 years and honestly, I haven’t found any issues that are deal breakers, mostly some missing storage permissions, but KDE makes this easy to deal with. I know some apps have some issues, but the biggest one that I had is that Steam Flatpak still requires Steam-Devices to be installed as a package, but that’s more to do with the way Steam Input works.

The only issue that I have is that uninstalling Flatpaks should present an option to delete the app data.

• Chimera (alpha stage): Chimera uses a novel combination of core tools from FreeBSD, the LLVM toolchain, and the Musl C library

Who was the incredible smart person to name a new distro with a similar name to another, older, Linus distro? ChimeraOS

Doesn’t really fit that well in small areas, and it sorta works in black and white, but not really.

I love Tux, but I wish Linux as a whole would have a logo. Like, you have Windows and Apple logo that represent the OSes in a simple way, it works even if the logo is small. Linux doesn’t have that, so when someone needs a logo they just use the logo of a Linux distro instead, or they show multiple distros, or more likely, they will visually represent some distros, but not all distros they support.

Keep in mind that because MicroOS, Leap Micro and Aeon have icons already set, this means that whoever design the rest will be restricted by the currently existing ones.

Like, both MicroOS and Leap Micro have a horizontal line and a circle in the middle. And Leap Micro basically forces a new design of Leap logo to be almost exactly like the previous one. And Aeon has the middle circle of Micro, but split into two, so Kalpa should also have the split circle somewhere.

That said, I’m not exactly a fan of the MicroOS, Leap Micro and Aeon logos. They are just outlines, and very thin. I understand that logos need to work in monochrome, but they are just… Anorexic. Would prefer if there was an entire rebranding

I’m mostly using Flatpaks on Tumbleweed, I only use the package manager if I can’t find a Flatpak version. Reason for that is that with Flatpak I can precisely know what I manually installed, as Tumbleweed lacks a proper easy way of getting a list of user installed packages

I love the minimize all windows button. It is so small and functional, I always use the KDE Widget that copies it, and IMO, KDE should use it by default

KDE has the option to disable middle click paste, so I do that. Out of sight, out of mind

Not going to lie, I hate the middle click clipboard and disable it ASAP. I really dislike the idea that it copies things without my explicit permission.

You don’t vote with your wallet or usage, you abstain from voting, and that’s it

Yes, but the thing is if you are truly limited by storage, you become paranoid about having to remove old and unused software to free space for the ones you wish to use.

Flatpak offers a benefit on some distros, as you are 100% sure any flatpak can be removed without screwing up with your system. So in a very weird way, the storage increase is worth by knowing you can nuke it if necessary.

If you use Flatpak from the start, the storage thing becomes less of an issue.

Flatpak only takes considerably more space because people use Flatpak as a last resort or too late into the life of the current installation, as flatpak will have too many requirements for too little apps.

Space usage under flatpak is highly overstated. It only takes a noticeable amount of storage if you only use a couple of flatpaks, cause all the dependencies are used for a single package, once you start using flatpaks as the main mean of installing “applications”, the space required start to decrease because the dependencies are shared between multiple apps

I wonder if there could be a system in place that is just Tumbleweed but with an user facing option from when to update. Like, on my machine I could use an update per week, but on someone’s machine they might just need it once per month. With bug fixes and major DE versions ignoring this limit, or something similar.

KDE Connect on KDE distros, just feels part of the KDE experience
