This is just a matter of personal preference, but I can’t stand libreoffice UI. It has more features but I don’t open office documents much, mostly just some basic spreadsheets, so I can get away with using a document editor with less feature but easier to the eye.
While self-hosting reduces the number of requests to upstream, it does not completely solve the problem (since OP still needs to forward requests to an upstream DNS). Do you have any suggestions for that?
Unbound can be configured to make requests directly to the DNS “root server” . These should not be censored. The guide linked by surfbum explains this accordingly.
I love the branding and general concept of openSUSE, and YAST is amazing, but I absolutely hate the dependency hell they have going on with their “patterns”. Patterns are metapackages, so a pattern basically just refers to other packages and installs a whole bunch of them. It just gets really messy once a pattern may refer to another pattern to make sure that everything it needs is installed. I’m not sure if that still is the case these days, but I found it really confusing and difficult to get the distro install only the stuff I want and need and trim down on anything else. You can already do this in the mighty installer or try it after installation, but both ways, patterns really got in my way. You may see the same pattern be suggested in multiple categories if I remember right, and if you overlook it only once, updates will pull all that stuff again. I would love to use openSUSE, it has a lot going for it, but that package management is a nightmare and one of the worst I have encountered during distro hopping, thanks to those patterns.
probably has to do with windows 11’s unrealistic system requirements, most computers are perfectly fine but aren’t able to update so people switch to linux since buying a new pc is not very affordable especially in the current economy
Technically correct, but the new version is so much better. It leaves the old one in the dust. I wish they’d make an official release for PC, though. I’d like to try it out.
The only reason stated above my comment is that Nobara looks better than Fedora. I asked because I genuinely don’t know what’s in Nobara that is not in Fedora and why is better Nobara.
No need to be an ass, leave that for Reddit users.
I wasn’t being an ass, I just jokingly pointed how a bit limited sighted your comment was: the way I see, a distro exists to save your time by already doing a pre-customization of the system for the user, even if it’s just comestic.
I switched to Nixos after reading a lot about it and eventually switched back to arch because I didn’t like how hacky everything felt. On the surface it seems really clean because of the central configuration file and the reproducible nature of the whole thing, but in the rare case something doesn’t go as planned, it’s hard to know how to do anything about it. Basically everything that would have been a configuration issue for you to fix, is now a bug. Also, I found no easy way to install software that isn’t in nixpkgs (which is rare, but happens).
You can always download appimages and run them or run unpatched binaries with steam-run. Worst case is packaging them yourself, but once you geht the hang of it, that also goes relatively fast.
