I'm not sure I'd define the atomic Fedora variants as "distros" in the traditional sense. This is a bit of an oversimplification, but Bazzite, Bluefin, etc, are basically just Dockerfiles that use Atomic Fedora as the…

I actually think Microsoft is often ahead of it's time with it's consumer-facing products, but executes very poorly. So they have good foresight, but "very bad taste" when it comes to execution. Microsoft was early to…
How I see it is, of course you won't have a good time with Linux if you don't have compatible hardware. The stuff you're mentioning (flaky Wifi and Bluetooth) is a hallmark symptom of incompatible hardware, or newer…
It's an entire login session, steam game mode runs BPM via the game scope compositor, no desktop is loaded in the background, etc. The Steam client also enables hardware controls not available in traditional BPM. You…

I doubt this actually exists, but does anyone know of an RSS reader that is cross platform, open source, and can sync between multiple devices via syncthing? I already sync notes, e-books, etc, via syncthing on Android…
I moved from Gnome to KDE around 2 years ago. I just got tired of Gnome extensions breaking all the time, Gnome not being customizable, no support for AppIndicators, etc. In my opinion, Gnome's UI feels more visually…

Depends on how the user uses their computer. Web browser + maybe some printing? Throw on Linux Mint + Firefox + uBlock origin, hook up a compatible printer via usb cable, and call it a day. That's what I did for my 65…

I wonder how viable Mac + Asahi Linux is right now. While I personally prefer AMD + Linux, for Macbook users perhaps Asahi can help break the dependency on MacOS. As for smartphones, ironically the best option for to…
