Time to move off #Ubuntu has finally come. So many #Linux #distros to choose from, though. Makes my head spin ๐Ÿ˜ต

I need one with:

  1. Great #driver support (maybe get that webcam working finally)

  2. Smooth & slick #UX / #UI (I'm less of a terminal guy)

  3. Focus on #security, security-first approach (but not the ones that are made for James Bond)

What do you suggest? #AskFedi

mana_z,

@smallcircles

  • Driver support is bound to a kernel, so distros with newer kernels are better.

  • not terminal friendly? That means a major distro, so less DYI is needed

  • good security is a trickier, but distros with a touch of enterprise focus are usually good on this

I would take Fedora or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

Hi fellow tooters!

I'm Martin, but people call me Mรกลˆa (/ma:nja/). I'm a polyglot SW dev, mostly doing Linux stuff, infosec and embedded. I like metal music, (retro)gaming and (retro)computing, everything Linux, scifi, coffee, beer and animals, mainly cats.

I'm kind of annoyed by VPN ads everywhere. VPNs have some valid use cases, but many of the advertised claims are false.

You don't need a VPN to protect yourself against eavesdroppers on public WiFis. You already have HTTPS for that. This point did make sense ~10 years ago, when HTTPS was not that omnipresent and pushing users to fall back to plain HTTP was much easier, but nowadays...

That lock next to your address bar is much better than any VPN!
