Pop Shell can actually be used on other distros. Here’s how: https://support.system76.com/articles/pop-shell/

Richtig, ich (Jahrgang 85) bin zuerst T3 gemustert worden und kurze Zeit später wurde im Rahmen einer Rechtsreform (weil aus sieben Tauglichkeitsstufen fünf wurden) aus der T3 eine T5.

Yeah, well, I’m not gonna give up my potentially long-living #Fairphone (due to excellent repairability) for a Pixel crafted from rare-earth minerals of dubious origin, just because you’re #shilling it.

they update OS and Webview extremly slow resulting in a very insecure OS.

I’ve recently got monthly updates. The last one from 2024-01-09 containing Android security patches until 12/2023.

I can recommend flashing /e/OS to de-google the Fairphone. Running smoothly on my FP3 since 2021.

You’re holding it wrong ™️

[…] but I don’t want a Windows clone, […]

KDE fortunately doesn’t have to be a Windows clone. There are several guides available on how to customize the UX / workflow to something completely different. I get what you mean, though, the default UX seems to be at least inspired by Windows.

This is purely anecdotal evidence, but on my 2013 ThinkPad X220 (dual-core i5, 12GB RAM) Plasma “feels” snappier and more responsive than GNOME.

Das ist ja noch nicht mal der echte Norden 😜

Also the fps on my Nvidia graphics card is really bad in games.

Are you sure you have the official Nvidia driver installed? Most Linux distros, if not explicitly configured otherwise*, use the open source “nouveau” driver by default. Since that driver doesn’t support some vital aspects - such as frequency scaling - of the hardware, the performance is bad.

*Some distros, like Pop! OS and EndeavourOS, offer a “Nvidia install”, meaning that the official driver will be installed and configured upon OS installation.

Except of course with Nvidia drivers, those are always shit.

Doesn’t that depend on the distro? In most cases they should be supplied as a (meta)package and only require installation through the package manager, kernel modules should be built automatically then.

While this is ofc only anecdotal evidence: I haven’t had problems with different models of Nvidia GPUs on different distributions (OpenSUSE, Debian, Pop!_OS, Elementary, EndeavourOS) in the last years. With a small workaround, even Wayland works flawlessly - the problem with missing GAMMA_LUT support and night light notwithstanding here.

I’d say a benefit is that one can achieve the workflow of GNOME or macOS while having the configurability of KDE at one’s disposal.

Yeah, you’re probably right. Haven’t had any issues the last time I used Manjaro, though. But that’s only anecdotal evidence at best.

+1 for EndeavourOS. Just installed it on an older notebook (ThinkPad X220) and damn, was it a breeze to set up properly.

ITT: Cryptobros and apologists finding new and creative ways to justify the behaviour of a company, the head of which was ousted from his last position because of crude political views, i.e. not granting people basic rights.

Debian Bookworm KDE - though I have to admit that it’s not my final destination when it comes to distro hopping, I guess. Currently thinking about giving Zorin OS a go.

Was ist auch zu erwarten, wenn mensch sich in einem solchen Artikel die “Normalität” herbeireden bzw. -schreiben will?

Northern Germany here. The German flag is usually only flown at government or other public buildings or, as another commenter said, when there’s a special occasion such as an international football match.

Something a bit more common up here seems to be flying the state flag (blue, white and red), which can be seen in private gardens or on some residential buildings.

Manjaro GNOME on my desktop. Still looking into what to install onto my work notebook when I get the new one.
