Plus it has a decent web framework in Blazor. I’m not a developer by trade, but I’ve enjoyed it in the context of small, personal projects.

Shoot, that’s hardly an exaggeration - I was only recently able to deprecate the last of our Server 2003 instances, which was running a program originally designed for 2000 Server!

I work IT at a hospital here in the US. The key issue is compatibility. Most of our vendor software flat-out does not support Linux at all, either on the client or server side. Shit, half of it barely even works on modern versions of Windows.

Been on it for about a year now, both with my desktop’s A770 and my laptop’s AMD iGPU. Experience has been pretty much flawless.

I still use Clonezilla to back up devices before performing reinstalls/major updates (when Timeshift isn’t practical). No issues so far backing up and restoring both Windows and Linux partitions/drives.

Fedora. I love Debian as well, but both of my computers needed more recent libraries, and now I’m curious to see how far I can take these installs.

I use Debian as a default and Fedora when I need a newer kernel/newer libraries. You aren’t weird at all. Or, at least we’re weird together. :)

Welcome to the party! Never let anyone get you down for using a “beginner” distro; it’s perfectly valid to want a system that just works. :)

Timeshift supports rsync snapshots. No btrfs needed :)

It’s not too exciting, but I’ve got an old Lenovo EMC2 NAS that’s probably from the early 10s. I was also running a Pi 1B as a DNS server until it gave up on life.

Beyond what people have posted, I also believe I saw something about GNOME planning to implement something like this soon™️

Probably COSMIC. I’m also excited to maybe see HDR and improved tiling in GNOME.

Also true, but only if I’m the one criticizing it. 😉

Best: the one I use.

Worst: the one I don’t use.

It’s okay. On my desktop with an Intel card my headphones occasionally have an issue where they’ll stop actually playing sounds until I swap the codec in GNOME Settings. I’m pretty sure it’s an issue with the headphones proper, because I don’t think I’ve had the issue with my earbuds or when using them on my laptop.

Speaking of my laptop, if I have WiFi turned on, the Bluetooth goes to shit. It sounds fine, but the audio will randomly cut out. I blame Realtek.

I am now sitting in the chair next to me. This is mildly inconvenient.

In theory: regular rotated disk backups kept in a safety deposit box.

In reality: a single disk sitting in my dresser that’s super out of date.

I run GNOME on my laptop and I’d definitely love to see more robust brightness control. Thanks for putting in the work to make this happen.

I’m not sure that I’d call vanilla GNOME (or any modern DE) unusable for me, but Tiling Assistant is really great. I’m looking forward to GNOME’s upcoming tiling changes so I no longer have to rely on an extension to give me quarter tiling.

Dash to Dock is also nice, though I don’t necessarily mind having to hit Super to see my dock.

My only issue with Ubuntu is that I effectively have to have two app stores to get everything I want. I’m not the biggest fan of Snaps, but they aren’t showstoppers for me. If Ubuntu Software supported Flatpak (and fixed .deb installers) I’d happily daily drive it.
