The ‘appstore’ of some distributions, e.g. Linux Mint, displays a warning or hint for unofficial flatpaks. In Mint the display of unofficial flatpaks are toggled off by default and there is a warning or recommendation displayed against toggling on.

Access to “real time” kernel which is useful for drones etc.

Seconded. I use Debian with KDE btw ;-)

Personally, I use KDE on Debian and it works great on my 2011 Laptop.

I just think, especially for a beginner, remembering the ‘under the hood’ commands, e.g. package managers, different preconfigurations of installed packages e.t.c., for such different distributions is probably quite challenging.

As Nobara is Fedora based and Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu/Debian, perhaps stay in this eco system and use some Fedora spin/derivate on the Laptop as well.

Good luck with the transition away from Windows!

That’s odd. I hate closed eco systems.

If proton supports CalDAV (I’m not sure), it should work e.g. with DAVx5 which integrates well with Android calendar.

Like my professor used to say: “Implementation is trivial, a trained ape can do it.”

Yes, as there is a bug report which for me seems unsolved.

They recently managed to complete porting to QT5 framework. Thus it is still missing in distributions that do no longer ship QT4, like e.g. Debian 11+.

Exactly. The Debian team is quite conservative in fixing non-critical bugs in the stable branch, as it may introduce new bugs.

If one wants more up-to-date software, the testing branch is a valid choice or Siduction, if one is brave enough.

Speaking of Debian:

No bugfixes? Yes. The software will not be changed to fix a usual bug.

No security patches? No. Security patches are applied.

Gnuplot would usually be the first that comes into my mind. However, it’s command line only.

Labplot does not only have a GUI, it also integrates well into the KDE desktop environment.

Thanks for asking. I’m using Debian and didn’t know either. :p

I just found out that the agreement between Microsoft and the EU commission was only valid between 2009 and 2014. So MS is no longer obliged to make the change of the default browser easy.

Is the browser selection on Windows no longer required in EU?

I don’t know how it came into my luggage either.

It’s within a root shell (#).

I think it’s about the privacy being harmed when needing to login, e.g. for bug reporting and working with the source code by means oft GitHub, not for the passive part of just downloading the source for local use.
