My recommendation would be Fedora or CentOS if you want a stable workstation you won’t have to reinstall. Debian is also a great choice. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is okay but I found it a little clunky compared to the others. Avoid EndevourOS and Manjaro like the plague.
I am not a native English speaker and I have sometimes referred to people as male and female (as that is what I have been taught) but I have received some backlash in some cases, especially for the word “female”, is there some negative thought in the word which I am unaware of?...
Using it as an adjective in some cases is fine, never use it as a noun, unfortunately due to assholes using it that way it now has a negative conotation.
like, it’s still dark at 5pm, there are barely any sports on, still bitterly cold and austere and it hurts to go outside, but you’re not even looking forward to christmas or the new year. the new year is here, and it’s largely the same as last year. except you’re getting older.

Hi! I’m seeking some advice and sanity check on hopping from Ubuntu to Fedora on my personal PC. I’ve been using Ubuntu LTS for almost two years now, switched from Windows and never looked back. But I cannot say I know Linux well. I use my PC for browsing, some gaming with Steam (I have AMD GPU), occasional video editing,...
I am currently using Windows on an older HP Laptop, which I intend to replace with a Framework 16 by next summer, but my Desktop PC at home has been running EndeavourOS, my first ever Linux distro, since last summer, so I have some Arch-based experience....
I don’t think the DE itself matters, but I can recommend using an immutable OS (makes it harder to install malware) and installing flatpak apps only. You can also use software like flatseal to further lock down permissions
A mostly read only filesystem built from a limited number of packages, with other files being in a fixed number of locations mean it is harder for malware to hide.
No, you can’t : in an immutable distro I can reasonably trace almost any file in the filesystem back to the package that created it, and know with a reasonable degree of certainty that the installed version of said file has not been tampered with. That isn’t possible an a normal distro.

Parliament’s position on the proposed law will now be against chat control, but the fight is not over: next we have to negotiate with member states. It’s vital we keep the pressure on governments to end this madness.
We have to wait and see for eIDAS, let’s hope with the changes to eIDAS dead, we’ll have at least a few years of the Commission not proposing some dumb surveillance shit
funny how that ‘tiny’ percentage of your energy mix is now forcing germany to reopen coal power plants, but by all means, continue to fuck the planet up even more in pursuit of your absurd anti-nuclear ideology.

Taking your ideas for my next linux app
I’m bored and want to practice my Rust skills. I am the creator of open-tv. If you have any idea for a linux desktop app, even if it seems quite complex, I will take it.
Planning on moving over from Windows 10 to Linux for my Personal Work Station. Can't decide which OS I should switch to.

Is "female" offensive?

The transition from the holiday season back to the normal drudgery is so depressing. Is there any way to make Jan / Feb less depressing?

Arch on semi-critical pc? (Also EndeavourOS vs raw Arch?)

I use KDE. Some use GNOME. Most other options are probably to be left out as X11 is unsafe....
