I’m torn between both sides of this argument. If I lost access to Netflix I wouldn’t be too bothered. But, I also understand that other people see the value in it and would be happy to subscribe if they lost access to an account that was shared with them.

Just out of curiosity, what difference would PAE make in this argument? What is the memory limit on a PAE-enabled kernel? What other differences would it make?

They say Emacs is an amazing OS, with the best calendar, to-do list, email client, etc. Just missing a good text editor.

Honestly, what I like about it started with the mascot. Otherwise, I like the fact that the rolling release has automatic testing to make sure it’s mostly reliable. Many people will also tell you how amazing YaST, their “control panel”, is. There’s definitely some stuff to get used to, like patterns and zypper. But, for a set and forget system, it’s hard to beat IMO.

If you’re looking for stable and up to date, give openSUSE Tumbleweed a shot.

I always made sure my laptops had tlp installed. Now it seems openSUSE has cpu power profiles daemon or something by default, which it says conflicts with tlp when I tried to install it. So, I’m giving that a shot.

You probably didn’t have a lot of AUR packages installed. That seems to be a big issue for Manjaro. They hold packages back and the AUR just keeps going so things get out of sync and break.

I think they mean the fact that the development team has seen some shuffling and the project stagnated for a bit. I love Budgie, which comes from Solus, but I’d rather use it on a different distro than using Solus, which seems a bit off-balance at the moment. Give them time to stabilize before trying them.

No, apt usually gives you native .deb installs. Flatpak and Snap are two different container technologies for distributing apps.

I’ve heard that snaps are great for servers, which is where Ubuntu is focused these days. Also, they want people to use their homemade technology instead of Flatpaks, which are much better for desktop users from my understanding.

Thank you. Got it set up now

I’m trying to add your instance to the LibreTube app. It’s asking for a URL to instance API. Where can I find this?

There’s Liftoff, wefwef.app (web app), Slide is still very early alpha, Thunder. There are a lot of options.

It took me a while to get used to openSUSE as well. I’ve been enjoying it though.

Middle-click might be an option for you too. One handed operation and I’m pretty sure it works on most browsers.

Trisquel is sadly the kind of software that would attract those kinds of users. It’s all about being completely free and open source. No driver blobs or anything even slightly proprietary. I appreciate the stance and how they’re doing it but people who go that far in their software choices tend to be quite serious and almost radical when it comes to their choices. Some of them also feel superior to people who haven’t been able to make the switch to free software. It’s also sad that the way they react will probably chase away more potential converts than it actually helps.

In that case, good luck. And keep us updated.

I think you’ll have to use a VPN to make it look like you’re from Europe. Other than that, you should be good.
