I used RIF for 12 years and I think Thunder is pretty close. The only thing it’s really missing for me is better comment navigation.
I actually really enjoy the gesture upvoting it has, and it’s very customizable. The debs are super active and responsive on github and matrix too.
Are you the PoppinKREAM from reddit?
Wooosh.
It’s a copypasta from old Unidan reddit days
Can you add programming.dev?
I’d also kill for default comment sorting, if you’re taking requests.
Seconded on Joplin. Does everything I need, looks nice, and I can sync it if I want to
I started using Linux desktops at work around 5 or 6 years ago, and even since then, the experience has improved greatly.
I’ve been on various distros with KDE over the past couple of years, but from what I’ve seen in passing, Gnome “just works” really well with most distros that use it. KDE requires some tweaking occasionally, but since 5.27, it’s been rock solid for me, and the KDE team seems really dedicated to making Plasma 6 stable and easy to use.
You might want to fire up a VM or throw Ubuntu on an old laptop and see how it feels. It really has gotten a lot better for the average user, and something like Mint, imo, is really easy to pick up and just use.
Personally, I really like customization, and I work as a DevOps engineer (formerly linux sysadmin), so I don’t mind getting really deep into the OS if necessary. But I don’t think you have to if you want to have a good experience.
Unfortunate, but to be fair, things have changed a lot in 20 years.
There are definitely still angry linux nerds on forums, but I think the experience is a lot more streamlined.
I also got my Tesla before Elon went full crazy, and there only recently were a lot of options. Even then, most were waitlisfed for months and months. Tesla manufactures a ridiculously high percentage of the EV market. Most large car companies are still just dipping their toes in EVs.
You can’t trust corporations to not ruin a product eventually. The reason federation and FOSS is so important is that it strips the power dynamics that typically corrupt online spaces. Is it perfect? No. But reddit didn’t become shitty because of individuals making bad choices, it became shitty because it had to.
They upgraded
VanillaOS is pretty much what you’re asking for. The only real downside right now is that Orchid probably won’t have KDE support out of the gate
Yeah but a $100 airbnb vs a $225 hotel is a different discussion
It’s not Manjaro
Nicco is great
The problem is that when you have a community of people pretending to be nazis, it makes it a lot easier for real nazis to show up.
I mean, they literally coordinate shit like that on StormFront and whatnot
I really hope journalists stop called IBM Red Hat. Red Hat is dead.
