Debian wins.

I always thought I would be an Arch user, or Manjaro user, or maybe Void?

But no, Debian (and by extension mxlinux) is for me. It's so stable it's boring.

@iUseLinuxBtw the gui is a fuck up. Use the protonvpn-cli alternative, do you have gnome-network-manager installed, the nm-applet?

Discovered the Debian Standard iso today. Seems similar to the netinstall, but bigger in size? I'm assuming it has more firmware and drivers included?

I am not too familiar with the Ubuntu upgrade process, so I would appreciate some advice.

I want to install Ubuntu Sway, but it's based on Ubuntu 23.10. What will the next dist-upgrade be? 24.04? And how reliable is that process? My gut tells me never to upgrade an LTS, rather reinstall?

Thoughts?

Thank You

You know how many Linux distros there are?

Imagine we had so many web browsers to choose from?

One can dream

Do you partition your browsing across multiple browsers?
One browser for logins, one for general browsing etc?

The only surprises you'll get is the lack thereof.

Microsoft.. We all know that feeling.

Also, this was a good show with lots of potential, but was mismanaged and cancelled.

Do you use the No Script extension?
Or do you use the uMatrix extension?

Are you keen for Facebook (Meta) to join the Fediverse and start federating with your instance, and most likely harvest ALL the data?

fatboy, to firefox
@fatboy@fosstodon.org avatar

This might sounds idiotic, it probably is, but I bet that Firefox's marketshare is so low because of the UI. The browser performs just as good, if not better than Chrome on page loading etc.

Anyone working on a new browser engine?
Something that's definitely not Chromium.

I quite like Goanna and WebKit. Wish both had more devs behind it. Goanna is very light on resources though, but can struggle with these 6 TB perpetual JavaScript websites of today.

The whole reason we are all here is because of Big Tech, i.e. Meta They used and abused us as users.

Now they want to come here into our safe space to harvest data and make it a toxic place for them to profit off.

They can fuck right off.

Interesting day...

I had a Debian 12 install booting in UEFI mode on my main laptop.
Thought I would test Ubuntu Sway on a Live USB, I booted into the Live USB in uefi mode and tested Ubuntu Sway only to find out my UEFI boot partition is broken after restart: "no bootable device found".

Just fucking lovely

Is there a non-systemd distro with a preconfigured i3 desktop?
