Hello, you might be interested to this post I loved and enjoyed to read: https://www.arscyni.cc/file/take_my_money.html

But that’s the theory, when I run games on GNOME the games and desktop itself looks laggy, on KDE 4 I still noticed some lag while with KDE 5 I feel almost like playing on i3wm, with 3iwm you can run many games faster and with less lag than many Windows users (my Windows friends normally have more issues than me). While KDE 5 is my second-best option, there is no third for me. Or i3wm or KDE for gaming. And normally my PC specs stands higher than the recommended on many games (also new ones). If you can test it and provide some feedback would be great.

I tried a lot of desktop environments and I think KDE is the best one, games runs much better than GNOME while the desktop is so smart and many features… I really tried so hard GNOME but the UI sucks, it is slower running games, there are missing options very important for me that KDE has, so for me GNOME is a NO for working/gaming purposes.

You can show ads without tracking and keeping users their right to privacy, right? I think it’s different selling user data than having some ads on your website.

But you said

Can you provide evidence which back your claim’s?

And I’m not going to search for all those articles that were talking about bad practices of Brave Browser.

I rather think it’s bc most people didn’t do proper research, which is sadly not unusual.

If they don’t do proper research, they wouldn’t mind your comment.

But I found this article https://popzazzle.blogspot.com/2021/07/why-i-uninstalled-brave-browser.html where says:

[…] Since I believed I’d disabled all possible sources of activity bar the actual loading of DuckDuckGo (html-only version - which is a tiny load), I thought I’d have a look round for some insight. I’d disabled the telemetry, the updater, the spell-checker, the “security protection”… And yet there was still this big spike of traffic on the computer’s main network meter.

In truth I was probably going to uninstall anyway, but the unprompted activity was a final indication that Brave does not understand the meaning of privacy, or consent. […]

The part of “there was still this big spike of traffic on the computer’s main network meter” claims that Brave Browser is not that private. And you can get the same level of blocking with better alternatives than claiming Brave to be a private solution.

I’m not going to do the research for you, I already read enough to know what Brave is, and I assume that’s why you got that many downvotes on your main post here. If you want me to leave you in peace, don’t reply.

If you read others comments, they explain why Brave is not a privacy Browser. You just need to use the good and open source addons for the chromium based alternatives that provide exactly the same or even better than Brave. Brave lies pretty much.

Before Brave better use https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium

On laptop Arch Linux with KDE because all is automatic, on gaming PC Arch Linux with i3wm because games and all runs so fast and so well.

I would say it’s almost the same, but you have less control of what your android is doing with the data it collects, I would go for https://e.foundation/e-os/ if you care about privacy. Instead Google Drive, you will use Nextcloud.

EDIT: Removed a comma typo from the sentence.

That’s nice, for 0,50 monthly less you have more hard drive (14GB more) but you lose 2GB of RAM compared to Hetzner.

EDIT: For VPN over HTTP, you don’t need more than this.

hetzner.com is cheaper, I think.

There is a way, it’s called SSH over HTTP, I think there are many guides on the internet. I hope this works.

EDIT: I don’t know how to do that on Windows or if it’s possible but maybe with a virtual machine… sorry.

Well, Linux is already on the desktop. I don’t know what the blog mean.

About Wayland, it still need time even if people says it’s ready and blabla, I even had issues with Flatpak+Wayland so… keep on X11 to make sure all works.

Is it still cheap, or they increase the price like x2? Can you tell us what company did you used, please? Thanks!

You are just talking like mad, being rude. I never said there is a cure. LMAO I suppose you really have an issue to enjoy your life, I’m sorry…

Nope, just saying other people has less, and they can be as happy as anyone. What I want to say is that most of the depressions is mental, happiness is proven than it’s 45% genetics or like that, I don’t remember now, but the difference between someone happy and someone who gets depressed often are mostly the genetics.

So what I am saying is, there are people that has less than you, and they have fun and are happy.

EDIT:

Telling me I’m not allowed to feel sad etc because others have it worse?

Never said that, but go angry mode. Go. I said we need to deal with our sadness.

But on the same links you sent are saying:

A Linux-based system is a modular Unix-like operating system, deriving much of its basic design from principles established in Unix during the 1970s and 1980s.

What difference are between “*-based” and “*-like”? If the meaning are the same then I’m right, if Unix-based means must be like a fork directly from Unix and not just a copy build from 0, then yeah, you are right. And I think based and like are the same meaning.

Edit:
I also found this image: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Unix_timeline.en.svg

Unix timeline:

Edit 2:

I just asked to ChatGPT and seems the AI can explain this:

“Unix-like” and “Unix-based” are terms used in the realm of operating systems, particularly in relation to the Unix operating system and its derivatives. While they may seem similar, they convey slightly different concepts:

Unix-like:
- “Unix-like” refers to operating systems that resemble Unix in terms of design, behavior, or functionality, but may not necessarily be directly derived from the original Unix codebase.
- These operating systems typically adhere to Unix-like principles and may incorporate similar features, commands, and programming interfaces.
- Examples of Unix-like operating systems include Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and macOS (which is based on a Unix-like kernel called Darwin).

Unix-based:
- “Unix-based” specifically indicates operating systems that have a direct lineage or heritage tracing back to the original Unix operating system developed at Bell Labs in the 1970s.
- These operating systems often have their roots in the Unix codebase, either through direct licensing agreements, re-implementations, or forks of the original Unix source code.
- Examples of Unix-based operating systems include various commercial Unix variants such as Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX, which have historical ties to the original Unix.

In essence, while both terms relate to systems that share similarities with Unix, “Unix-like” suggests a broader category of Unix-inspired operating systems, while “Unix-based” specifically denotes those with a direct lineage or relationship to the original Unix system.

So you are right, and they probably wanted to mean Unix-like. But we could still say based as both has some kind of relationship, and that’s why Linux it’s on Unix timeline from wiki.

He says it’s based, not that is Unix.
