Having a rock-solid Debian stable as a desktop with up-to-date softwares when it matters. It sounded impossible a few years ago but that might be achievable now with Flatpak. That's awesome.

There's only 34 million uBlock Origin users on Chrome? So, billions are using Chrome without any ad-blockers? That's crazy and unsafe

I don't understand your comment. They are the good guys browser-wise but that doesn't mean they are good guys everywhere.

I wrote some insults and it worked.

Pretty sure my insults will be used to train a model as well

I'm pretty sure Apple is missing a significant market share of consumers like myself who can't stand their anti-competitive practices. That's why I can only buy Android phones and tablets, until we get decent Linux ones.

Still don't get why you don't have a third one (non-US guy here)

Most distributions are fine honestly. Ubuntu is clearly not my thing. Not a fan of Redhat-based distribution either. I wanted to appreciate OpenSuse as they've been supporters of KDE for a long time but wasn't comfortable with Yast.

Apart from that, Manjaro is awesome, Arch amazing, Debian brilliant, etc.

Did someone really manage to convince you that Fedora would be more stable than Manjaro?

For the record, I've been using Manjaro for 3 years without any reinstall on my main laptop and I still haven't witnessed any stability issue. My experience with Fedora has not been similar at all...

I can't believe you seriously asked what WhatsApp is... where do you come from?

Just no. My CEO runs a much larger organisation than Mozilla corp and her salary is 1m€ per year (public information), and that's perfectly adequate.

I work in investment banking environments (calculations). Python is everywhere. Java and C++ as well.

I'm surprised Lehman Brothers isn't there. Is that expected?

Not gonna happen obviously. It's so funny to see every fedora announcement on linuxfr.org detailing every single aspect of the release while ignoring completely KDE.

So, calculations are not actual software... I'll stop there.

Yes that's how they killed Mandrake/Mandriva, which was superior IMO at that time (easier install, KDE based, better hardware support).

Of course, Mandriva's management is not blameless, but Ubuntu's free CDs were the cherry on top of the cake.

Seriously, all code produced by French devs are in English minor a few personal projects

I am on Samsung devices right now (phone & tablet) but I'm not 100% convinced and I do not advocate for this brand.

I'm just waiting for a more mature Fairphone & /e/os platform.

He's being very short-sighted, as if Ukraine was the final step to this war.

Mandrake, Red Hat, Slackware, Suse, Gentoo, Sourcemage, etc...

I've settled for Manjaro 6 years ago and never saw a reason to change. I'm also super happy with Debian on my server.

Nice, well done. I wish I could find the same for Debian.

Using my company's network, access to Google (Gmail) authentication is blocked by the firewall. Why haven't they done similarly if employees aren't supposed to do so?

It's always the same story: are confident are you that this is true?

It's quite amazing you've picked that example. I just didn't remember some people had to mess with video drivers. Last time I've done it was probably a decade ago, on Windows.

Well, no

Thanks!

I was talking about the old-fashion one. It's really common across France even though modern housing have heat pumps. Oil furnaces have almost completely disappeared and the gas one are in the process of being replaced as well. Electricity is cheaper here than in most countries (thanks to nuclear power plants).

It would indeed. "Problematic by design" then?

If the only use case is translation, that's probably not a good business case.

Last time I ate some was 30 years ago, and that was the last time I saw them on the menu.

As much as it pains me, I am convinced you're right. It's mostly an education / cultural problem. You can find similar situation in other countries of course but I've never it that extensive.

The result is having some of the worst politicians ever being elected, with no credible alternative.

That's my issue with Samsung devices: unofficial ROMs are rare. For example on my Galaxy S21 FE, I can't run LineageOS.

Got it, thanks

Do you have access to Netflix or other providers catalog of films and series on-demand? Can you change audio / subtitles language?

I can't find any reason to use an alternative browser

They are active in some EU countries

I was referring to the comment section. No one talks about it.

6.1.0-17 is the one I received today. I was on 6.1.0-16 until now.

Happy for you... but isn't this thread about Mint?

Is that a way to say "by the way I use fedora"? 😀

A little, I must have 10 AUR packages installed.

Exactly I really don't get the argument there. Manjaro's handling of kernel selection is brilliant. Multiple LTS kernels, a recommended one, bleeding hedge and experimental ones. There's something for everyone and it's super easy to use.
