A lot of people here are recommending linux first laptops like tuxedo and system76 but if they are too expensive there’s also dell and lenovo which are linux-second vendors. Every dell laptop I’ve used has worked great with linux and are reasonably repairable. The only things to watch out for are gimicky features like fingerprint readers or anything that would need custom firmware, and super slim laptops (for repairability and the potential for weirder parts on the inside) but even for weird hardware like fingerprint sensors, both dell and lenovo have been working towards supporting them on linux as well.

thats the chain of numbers and letters after the youtube link for the rickroll

Its surprisingly useful (and fun) to be able to change the embedded image and title

I think that’s a good thing because it means it’s probably targeting normal people since the country is moving towards less reliance on things like windows.

if that’s your problem with it then it’s probably better off without you

yeah imo matrix is better in most ways except for being lightweight, though that is also being worked on. irc has a place but for normal use I think matrix is better than irc.

heads up the windows releases work but they can be messy because most of the devs are on linux/mac and testing windows is more difficult.

though they should remove those ugly sponsored top sites by default imho.

They’re working on a whole new start/new-tab page that will fix that

also at the moment there’s quite a few smaller updates between when the AUR version was released and now, it will probably be updated for the dot 88/89 release (probably 89 now since firefox 88 is about to be out of date)

I’ve never had that kind of problem, where do you usually run into them?

yeah I agree, foss games are cool but most of them don’t even get close to what most proprietary games have been able to do unfortunately.

Oh I see

What’s his take on XMPP?

Gemini link

Is there any extension that could integrate gemini into firefox?

What’s wrong with FydeOS? It looks fine to me.

There’s a system that ensures everyone gets the fruit of their labor, and that if someone is going hungry they are supported by the community instead of being left to die in the streets.

I don’t really agree but even if that’s the case it’s definitely more than just gnome with a few plugins now. I imagine cosmic will be the same down the line.

Fwiw for people saying it’s just gnome with a few extensions, the same could have been said for elementaryOS and pantheon DE when it came out, and look where they are now. They also might be doing it so that they have more control over what they’re offering with their products instead of being expected to follow gnome.

I like fedilab the most, having all the fediverse social medias in one app is really cool

I just tried to set it up and yeah its a pain

do you have night reader or any other extensions that the browser would load before the website? Also if you don’t give something like iceraven a shot, it’s on fdroid and has more extension support and other things like about:config available.
