I'll stick with Obtainium. It's been around for years, it's proven itself, and it already does exactly what I need. Komi-store looks interesting, but to me it just feels like another shiny bit of shite trying to reinvent something that already works....
I’ve used Firefox based browsers for as long as I can remember and I’d rather slam my dick in a car door than switch to garbage like brave. Every single one of those browsers is the same bloated Google-flavoured bullshit wearing a different fucking clown costume. Firefox is the only browser that doesn’t make me feel like I’m being rawdogged by corporate spyware every time I open a tab.. Piss on carpet !!
GIMP is GIMP. It’s been GIMP for decades, and that name carries history, recognition, and a community that built something genuine. Rebranding it to WLBR feels like throwing all of that away for the sake of optics that most longtime users like myself frankly don’t care about. It's not progress in any way, it’s unnecessary self-erasure. GIMP works, GIMP is known as such, and GIMP should stay exactly what it is....
You’re nothing but a rat bastard who is scraping piefed.social to fill your own site with content so you can monetise it, all while driving up their hosting costs for your own benefit. That’s pretty low—have some shame....
I asked myself this exact question back in 2020 and chose Arch. At the time I had been using Fedora since 2017. What I ultimately wanted was a system I could install once and continually evolve rather than replace. Several years on, I’m still running that same installation and it has never given me a reason to reconsider....
Depending on your computers specs & if it's allowed or not by your company.. You could always continue to use Fedora & run win-11 inside a VM with pass through enabled....
You couldn’t be more wrong here, my Arch install has been my daily driver for years, and it’s sitting at a grand total of 846 packages. No reinstall. No avalanche of dependencies. No mythical fleet of 7,000 half-assembled cars in the garage. You don’t need to bolt on a crap-ton of packages just to get a working system....
Sometime around 2004, I somehow managed to get a friend to try Linux. They spent an entire weekend compiling a custom kernel just to run some experimental beta driver that might have made Doom 3 somewhat playable on their system. Everything compiled just fine, but whenever they booted up the system, they discovered they had forgotten to re-enable sound support. A recompile fixed that, but performance wasn't what they were expecting. I think they got like 15fps or something like that. After a few weeks of using Linux they reinstalled win-xp....
I feel the same way. I’d love to see them move toward developing their own independent index. I also really hope they stay true to what makes them different and don’t get caught up in the whole “AI-everything” trend. Search doesn’t need to be artificially padded or reworded by a chatbot, it just needs to be genuinely useful, transparent, and connected to reality. If Ecosia focused entirely on building a clean, human-centered search experience powered by their own index, without the AI noise, I think that would be far more valuable than following the same path other major engines have taken....

Haven't counted in quite some time, but DVD collection was close to 600 last time I did....
I've personally never rented anything & I've always bought physical media. I hate the whole idea of never actually owning the damn thing....
PHYSICAL MEDIA FOR LIFE !!

This is one thing that I hope never happens on my system....

I had an app that secretly tried to compile an old version of GTK.2 in its entirety. My potato computer freaked out....
Thanks for the heads up :)
I did not know there was forks. Thank you very much for pointing this out :)
The year of the Linux desktop is whenever you make it !! For me, that was 2002, the year I ditched windows for good....

Everyone has to start somewhere....
Hard to say, but I'd say no....

I still use X11 & will continue to do so for as long as possible. Wayland's not bad, X11 just seems to works better....
That is so awesome.. Please never change....
