All distris that have GNOME look the same. Same for KDE. I wouldn’t go the looks cool route

Distro choice doesn’t matter too much. Even ubuntu if you ignore snaps

Are you talking about crawlers not being able to index matrix messenges?

It’s not a website, there’s no chat that’s being indexed by crawlers, afaik.

You could index them if you wanted.

A chat is meant to be ephemeral. Unlike with a forum where it is a goal to have long lasting information sharing.

Usually you want to things for a project, one forum and one chat. The chat is more informal and not meant to replace a proper forum. You can basically chit chat in a chat but not in a forum.

I like mediawiki

That’s a client issue, not a protocol issue

No idea abiut cloudflare.

If you want a meshvpn, use zerotier. Easy as installing it on both devices and connecting them

Mobile yes, desktop isn’t subpar ime

matrix.org works just fine. Nowadays, the experience is as good as on any other chat app

Cool app at first glance!

I always wonder why some open source projects choose discord and not matrix?

If you keep all your personal files in your home directory and stay away from snaps and don’t switch desktop environments, i.e. stay with GNOME or KDE you can switch back and forth as you wish. There are minor “bugs”/issues when switching between DEs but nothing too serious. Best is to have a seperate partition for Home but that’s luxury. Choose one (bigger) distro. If you need to install another distro because a package is only available on that system, just use distrobox instead. Want to check out another distro? Use a vm. Don’t use a nieche distro as a beginner. Use a system that auto updates itself so that you will never interact with the system again.

Yes. Nuclear everything. Fuck grub.

No idea who spreads the word of dual booting. I went into that trap as well. I’ve spent so much time on grub. Don’t waste your time. Even if you manage to fix it after hours, you are not better off than before. You will run into the same or another issue again. And you won’t remember what worked did before. Backup your stuff an run.

Nowadays I use an atomic/immutable system but I wouldn’t do it on a traditional install differently.

1. Install all packages as flatpak
2. Server stuff is installed with podman (docker in the past)
3. Whatever is not available as flatpak is installed via distrobox
4. Install only base apps to the system itself

I do not knoe hoe many hours I’ve spent in the past on grub issues because of dual booting.

Never ever again. Wasted time. Grub issue? Reinstall. Everything is in home path anyway. I don’t care about the system anymore.

There are cheap keys or pirated stuff

1. Backup
2. Install linux
3. Use a VM (e.g. Boxes) and install windows

I haven’t used it but there is https://fedora.slimbook.com/

Not with success but I’m using huggingface since a couple of days. You may want to have a look into it

My pixel 6 with grapheneos with fennec and german internet is slow af, hence I can’t sacrifice a second on dark background.

Yes

I highly support dark reader, for me, dbalt is faster, hence I use dbalt. If dark reader was faster, i would use that

Nextcloud?

That’s why you don’t need to install another one 😘

Thx for the write up. I’d be itnerested in the following.

For whom is it useful to write his custom image? Maintenance? Added value?

When is it useful to deviate from fedora and use a ublue version? You don’t have a fedora signed distro anymore. You have to trust another party blindly not to inject malicious code. Risk of not being maintained anymore.
