Klingt nach viel Idee und Motivation aber ich versteh nicht wie “ja” oder “nein” (daumen hoch, daumen runter?) sie verbessern sollen.
Wir brauchen perspektivwechsel.
Logische Fehler müssen aufgezeigt werden und Aussagen dann nicht bewertet sondern als ungültig gekennzeichnet werden.
Es müssen Fakten von Meinungen getrennt werden, und der Grad an “Meinung” in einer Aussage muss gekennzeichnet sein.
Dann kann man rational reden.
Richtig gut, dass auch Religion nicht immer alt und verblendet sein muss.
The issue is that, no Ubuntu is not “the Windows” of Linux.
First of all this statement makes no sense. You could say “the Samsung of the Android world” as Samsung Android is a Distribution that looks nice and many people think it is nice to use (leaving out that it is the most spyware-riddled software on locked devices with horrible customer treatment)
Windows is just one OS. Android is an easy variant of Linux, and Ubuntu was one too.
Nowadays, uBlue Aurora/Bazzite would be my “best Desktop Linux”, because they implement all the great, easy and modern stuff of Fedora Atomic Desktops, while also removing stupid opinionated things, and adding packages they legally simply cannot ship.
Ubuntu is not easy anymore. Distro upgrades are a mess and break. I had 12 laptops, all had the same 3 issues and updates took forever.
Ubuntu requires a sudo account for them to even work, a nonsudoer gets an update message but clicking it does nothing.
I.e. they dont use polkit, unlike Fedora for example.The paradigm of
Is just bad. Android works without root since forever, and I would say it is the easiest Linux distro out there.
They have their own strange icons, which look worse than GNOMEs. They have their own strange store instead of using and improving GNOME Software.
Their design sucks in comparison to Manjaro if you ask me. Most personal point of this list. Many other Distros just ship GNOME, do the packaging and leave the Branding to small changes, and the upstream DE.
Snaps are not cross platform, while Flatpak exists and is cross platform.
Ubuntu doesnt even have uptodate flatpak and dependencies in their repos so the Flatpak project maintains like 6 PPAs just to run them on Ubuntu.
Snaps are not cross platform because they rely on AppArmor for sandboxing, and afaik custom AppArmor patches that are not in upstream.
This means Snaps on Fedora and others would run Snaps unsandboxed.
Technically they are fine. Pretty normal approach. But their repo hat big malware issues and they only allow a single one, which is a total nogo for any opensource project.
Snaps installed by other users with sudo cannot be opened by other users. You need to install them per-user, no other option possible.
Flatpak requires wheel/sudo too, I need to make a Fedora Change request to fix that, my previous one got rejected…
They only ship KDE on the LTS variant, which means by now it is very outdated. KDE is the most windows-like desktop, and also has the most features, by far. I tried GNOME and made a writeup on Fedora discuss.
They bloat (at least) their (LTS) variants with tons of deb packages.
They dont integrate timeshift or other backup systems. Linux Mint and OpenSUSE are better here. Fedora Atomic Desktops too, while traditional Fedora not.
If you dont print, this is pretty good. CUPS can simply be disabled using systemd though.

May use a little more memory but may be fine. How do you do this? Ctrl+N always?
Yes I would love to have mail notifications etc for security updates.
Currently setting up a server, CentOS installer didnt boot so my lazy ass just rebased to securecore (Fedora IoT -> uBlue uCore -> secureblue) which is very nice but rolling.
With LUKS encryption, which I want and need, this is problematic, as I need to manually type the password afaik. TPM unlock didnt work even though I have a Nitrokey with a TPM integrated afaik.
No they dont. Just the basic kernel backups, which is pretty little
Like a VM emulating their exact hardware? Didnt know that was a thing
Because they have Slowroll and working, automatic BTRFS snapshots.
I have no idea what dnf Fedora is doing, using BTRFS but no snapshots.
Would be fun to buy and host a good site on
I think Silverblue is the perfect distro for random computers you never manage.
Actually uBlue silverblue as they fix the like 5 issues there are, like an intelligent and actually automatic updater, flathub, drivers etc.
You can use dnf on OpenSuse, and it actually uses the correct /etc/dnf.repos.d !
zyppers UI is horrible, no idea at what internet speed those animations make sense, not on an even 2,4GHz wifi.
I used QGis as a Fedora Distrobox didnt install the language package, because it installs only the one from the OS. on Tumbleweed all languages were always installed, but it had some issue where no plugins worked or something.
Same with RStudio, which works creat with iucar/cran COPR and the R-CoprManager app that makes it use dnf underneath.
Rstudio should absolutely install them as libs though, into /var/lib. Then the Flatpak could be made working too I guess.
Edit: please just use KDE. LXQt is such a usability mess, I have no idea who actually uses this daily.
KDE needs a debloat but is really fast and pretty light.
And they will generally not take security OR Linux seriously.
The thing is package management, resettability, rebasing/redeploying with a config file, and avoiding config file creep.
I broke 10 distros before, and of course I also learned, but I simply didnt break Fedora Atomic Desktops in 2 years or so.
Yeah mine is less beautiful but
alias off='shutdown -h now'
alias update='flatpak update -y ; flatpak remove --unused --delete-data -y ; distrobox upgrade --all ; rpm-ostree update'
alias upfin='update ; off'
My firmware is write-protected so fwupd is not in there.
I really need to try NixOS, it may be good?
I recently got a zipbomb + trojan through a Github comment. Was removed very quickly and unrecoverably, crazy that they can even so this, not even the repo owners see it anymore.
They support Unity???
