smileyhead OP , to linux in Can someone explain Universal Blue (and images based on it) to me?

image for every DE/wm

Coming from traditional distro (Arch to be specific) I just install it without DE or uninstall the existing one and install the other. Graphical environments are just programs just like any other.
So those images are just a convenience thing? Like Fedora has spins that preinstall desktops to have them out-of-the-box?
How those distro are displayed in (neo)fetch like programs, are they just Fedora or their own thing?

    Also Nheko is nice.

    Taking away being Electron based, the UI/UX of desktop app is really good.

    You can. It just would not be good as preinstalled thing. Operating systems should not preinstall anything tethered to one server in my opinion.

    Because when interacting with other people to do something together it is more convenient not having to encourage them to install something. Like preinstalled Magic Wormhole for file sharing or something for remote desktop. FTP client is a must. Chat is nice to have.

    I use Arch btw.

    Maybe ODM they get devices from to rebrand does not have AMD option for this model? ツ

    and really enjoy every privilege of Linux

    Like ability to install different desktop enviroment?
    I have a phone with PostmarketOS installed and, besides being immature for now, the difference in possibilities are night and day.
    Almost all apps store settings in easy to backup .config folder. I can really script things using cron jobs and plain bash. Develop apps with any programming language without stupid SDK. Carry portable Minecraft of Factorio server for LAN parties. Use literally the exact same apps on both phone and desktop without ports and having their data synced. I can talk for hours.

    Being able to practially develop anything without running Google’s proprietary build of Android SDK can be enough for devs to see the difference.

    It might be very similar on the surface, for casual person installing app from appstore. But the whole ecosystem above the Linux kernel and below app interface is barely comparable. No Flatpak, Wayland, SystemD, glibc, PipeWire, etc.
    The way apps are build, most of the times does not matter what kernel is at the bottom. What matters are toolings and the ecosystem.
    Android could be build on Windows NT and most won’t notice (remember Windows Phone? Not looking at UI/UX design, it felt really similar), yet we wouldn’t call Android as being the same as Windows.

    If he was saying that I cannot believe he wouldn’t already know.

    A modified kiosk versions. Many Chomebooks cannot boot normal/main Linux. Those are mostly drivers, so less modified than Android where big things are changed but still.

    It’s like main game vs mobile adaptation of 2010’s era.

    smileyhead OP , to linuxmemes in Security

    Those are just tutorials showing how to install something. Typing flatpak install firefox is one and the same as going into the app store, searching for Firefox and clicking “install”. Tutorial websites would just show terminal as it’s more universal.
    If they ask you to actually download some file there is something very wrong.

    I often see people overwhelmed by universality of some things. Instead of searching “How to install Firefox on Linux?” what should be learned is “How to install software on Linux?” and, unless met with something badly ported, never do the search again.

    But what my meme is about is Windows-only style of having some file and by default having no idea if that’s going to run in some program or be a program.
