If I’m not jokingly sarcastic
Liking/reposting/quoting/commenting/reacting to a post is not endorsement to account/person/institution etc.
It simply means I either partially or completely agree with that particular single statement; or I find it interesting! And nothing more!
@Cobratate Why not?
Why do you think your ways are the only thing there is?
Respect other peoples way of life as long as they are not forced on others or take away from others the right to choose.
@Cobratate Until I see real villainous people from the Epstein "proven and known" sex traffickers and pedophiles, all arrested, then prosecuting the Tate brothers for their alleged crimes is the biggest joke in the human history that's being played out on the dumbest people in history.
You know, your comment came just in time as I am playing on Steam The Last Of Us/Left Behind and Doom Eternal on Ubuntu. It works fine but I didn't want to mess with Ubuntu too much because I give support to my clients who have Ubuntu.
I will make my dedicated personal gaming machine with Garuda. That will be the first one I will test out on my old Lenovo ThinkPad P16 laptop with Steam and OBS.
Don't be gullible!
They want you divided.
Divided by religion.
Divided by race.
Divided by sex.
Divided by political affiliation.
Divided by class.
When you are divided, and angry, and controlled, you target those ‘different’ from you, not those responsible [controllers].
Divided you are weak.
Divided you pose no threat to their control.
And lastly, being divided is the root cause of stupidity based on profound and self-inflicted ignorance!
My personal systems are heavily modified and I always opt to compile things from source after I go through them and modify for my specific needs. That's why I use the term "reconstruct" instead of reconfigure :)
But, I'm always looking for all kind of distro's for my clients for personal and corporate, to provide them alternatives to Windows with something their IT can work with without having them be very technical. And, so far, Fedora workstation for corporate environment and Ubuntu (Kubuntu) for personal computing are excellent choice for people who wan to switch off Windows and not struggle, if they are not so technical.
I will definitely check Mint, Manjaro and CachyOS.
@praxeological00@itsfoss True if that's what you like and it works for your specific needs.
In my opinion, no distro is better than another. It's all a matter of perspective and who will be using it.
Yes, you are correct and I said exactly that. if you spend time to configure/customize "any" distro. it will be the best among all. My review was for the average non-Linux people who will be using the OS with it's default installation and who are capable to go on forums and see howto's to make it work. I term that out of the box installation.
And, for myself, if I spend time re-constructing (re-configuring) Ubuntu or any distro, for me, they will "all" be the same with no particular distro having an advantage over another.
@tostafur69 @itsfoss You can get them off Nvidia website. Nvidia is pretty good with drivers. Even their customer support worked with us to give us a driver that works with our unique environment.
But, if you are referring to Ubuntu's auto updater then yes, I agree with you.
I was comparing distro's right out of the box without doing configuration/customization. If you are native to Linux or Unix systems it really does not matter which distro you use because, at least for me, they are all just flavors.
My review on this post is for the people who are not so familiar with Linux but have some capabilities to go on forums and lookup howto's. Also from my experience in working with Fedora and Ubuntu in the corporate network environment. The baseline comparison, for most non-Linux people, when it comes to Linux is Windows; and my review is from my personal experience . I personally never tried Mint and that's why I love these discussions because they shed light on many distro's and their unique advantages.
I definitely will try out Mint
Balancing security with usability in the real world for the average user, makes Debian a not so attractive OS for the average user.
If you spend enough time on any distro, you can make it more secure than Debian. In my opinion, security for any open source linux distro depends on the user and not the OS flavor itself.
However, if the user is not so familiar with linux, or unix based systems in general, then for workstations i found Fedora is pretty good right out of the box and for personal home computing Ubuntu by a far margin is the best out of all.
If you're native to linux, then we each will have our favorite flavor and no two flavors will be the same.
I grew up with Slackware so it's my favorite and I give customer support for Ubuntu so I have that on my laptop.
What I like most about Debian is that it's free from proprietary stuff, more so than Ubuntu and especially Fedora.
And just to be clear, there is no better distro than another, in my opinion, it's all a matter of perspective; as long as you're not using Windows.
Out of all phones out there, privacy should be the #1 factor and Google beats all of them (if you understand low level programming/chip-set software, not OS). HOWEVER, they all fail miserably in that department, Google included!
So, out of all the gimmick phones out there, and knowing what I know, I'd pick Google Pixel 7/Pro (you can still buy the Pixel7), then comes as second to the Pixel7 is the Pixel9/Pro then, after the Pixels, anything out there is pretty much the same.
From OS perspective: all of them loaded with bloatware that you can hide to make you feel good but it's child processes are running in background.
From hardware perspective: Firmware and chipset logic (by design) allows backdoors that bypasses the OS all together so you are walking with an extremely sensitive logging device of everything you do and "beyond".
That's why you are an open book to big-mainstream marketers and social-platform-algorithms. a big YUK!!!! if you dislike advertisement and manipulated organic traffic to your social-media-accounts.
@gree303 @itsfoss Lmao... I used to think that, until one of my colleagues shut down his laptop and closed the lid thinking his laptop was off when in fact Windows was updating his display adapter and in the conference his laptop didn't boot correctly so they had to use my Linux. A true story!
