I think both can be true. I just mean if we’re talking about a company paying for Microsoft Office vs LibreOffice.

Probably better to think of spending their money on an open ecosystem, instead of just using something for “free”. If software products have sufficient funding they can better improve the products and can continue to exist - without some form of monetisation most wouldn’t still be around.

It was Ubuntu 14.10 (still had Unity) installed on a Mac mini to run a Plex server. I actually really liked Ubuntu then, it was all new and very different to Windows. I had it hooked up to a TV and used the DE to maintain it I.e console, update app etc.

There was this really annoying error that would occur every time it would boot which drove me to look elsewhere. Ended up trying Arch and didn’t put a DE on there because I started to get comfortable with the terminal and SSHing in.

I eventually installed Arch on my desktop and dual booted for a couple years using XFCE. Once I discovered KDE there was no going back.

I haven’t used Windows on any of devices for years, all running Fedora and KDE.

Remmina for Remote Desktop, awesome piece of software.

I made the switch, its worth noting that there is some differences, like not keeping cookies by default, and you’re not able to set it dark mode etc. These can be fixed up through extensions or config changes.

I just fold it up and use a clothes peg ha ha

It was at the peak of AI hysteria. You could do a shit on the side walk and say it was AI generated, and youd get VC funding for your next AI powered turd.

Echo-chamber, maximise!

Circles aren’t even real, man. Its just a state of mind.

And customers not mentioning a thing they tried to fix themselves, badly

Most recently: My white cat was drinking water and my orange cat decided it wanted to attack it, my white cat screams as usual which triggers my dog to go nuts and wants to play as well which causes both cats to run. My white cat runs through the kitchen and jumps on the bench knocking over some containers we had drying out, the containers falling freaks my dog out so he starts barking at nothing in particular, meanwhile my orange cat runs down the hall and goes to turn and go up the stairs but slips (vinyl flooring) and slides into the wall making a loud thud.

This all happened in a space of like 20 seconds, while my family and I are sitting in the middle of it all eating dinner - absolutely perplexed at what just went down.

I’ve been using Nobara and its been awesome. I wanted a fairly standard desktop with a gaming focus and it fit the bill. It even managed to automatically get the power saving sorted for my laptop which has a nvidia GPU. Great distro.

They showed a once per year notification which reminds people they can donate.

I think the donation notification works
