Doesn’t work for every use case, but perfect for mine. I was just pointing out other options.

Valid points. I use it for my media collection I can easily restore and won’t miss. Cache would be sort of nice to have and redundancy would just be wasting space.

Mergerfs can do that too and you can keep the underlying fs as whatever you want.

Eye exam later would make you feel even worse lol

This chart doesn’t imply there’s anything wrong with your position. Low confidence and low competence = choosing OS that implements a ton of guardrails to prevent users it’s designed for from fucking up too hard. Nothing wrong with that even if you choose to do that forever.

What issues? I’m pretty much 100% ipv6 on all ubiquity equipment.

Pretty much every rolling distro works this way. Nothing fantastical about it.

If you want even more set-it-and-forget-it setup you can use any immutable distro. OpenSuse MicroOS in my grandma’s case.

That’s true, but I’ve been using it for 25+ years and prefer stock kde experience. Daily driver for work and play. Fewer issues than windows for sure. I can’t figure out macos so I try to avoid it.

OpenSuse

None of that happens though and cli is not needed for most users. Updates are automatically pulled and installed whenever she restarts. Worst case scenario she knows to press down once during boot to select previous snapshot.

My 97yo grandma uses Linux without even being aware what OS she’s on. Web sites open the same. Telegram works the same.

Anyone saying Linux isn’t user friendly hasn’t used it in decades or ever.

Most Windows/macos users wouldn’t be able to install those either so that’s a non argument.

Sort of a win since you didn’t even reply to the right comment :-)

It’s relatively inexpensive and makes life much easier for people who are not tech savvy. Your position is that of an incredibly egoistic person that never had to help an older relative or dealt with an adult who doesn’t have time for random bs during an hour or so of downtime most people get in a day.

If spending hours trying to figure out which “free” streaming service had not gotten shot down today and magically has the content you want is worth less to you than a one time payment of a few bucks to plex, then you really don’t value your time.

Master pdf editor works great for me. License costs $80, but compared to Adobe prices it is basically free.

This feature came out several versions ago. I was just complaining.

I wished they published more detailed info on how to hook up new ML assistant for looking up highlighted text. I tried seeing it up with existing Ollama set up and couldn’t figure it out.

Which Api calls is it making exactly?

I feel they tried to make it too simple with the llama file. There are a ton of existing options people already have set up.

NetworkManager UI for most things to do with network on Linux

My favorite phone by far. Absolutely loved combined messenger built into OS and that GUI is still unmatched by any OS as far as I’m concerned.

They need to introduce bounty system so people can give money for specific features.

As far as I’m concerned they only produce two useful pieces of software: Firefox and Thunderbird. The rest of the money is going into a black hole.

How exactly are you donating to Firefox? Mozilla foundation is not Firefox and Firefox is unlikely to see any money you give to Mozilla.
