In the OG movies he goes so fast that he goes faster than light and turns back time. At least I think that was the idea. So yeah, he could do FTL travel. Given that he accelerated to that point in about a minute, it’s probably doable all within an hour.

Gnome is a bit of a different animal these days, I get it that it won’t fit everyone’s use case.

Apologies in advance if I’m doing this wrong. But the 1890 national flag of China was badass. Check out the current Welsh flag though, I’d say it’s close. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Windows 10 requiring sign in only made me start using Tiny10 but even then I figured if end of life was happening, I may as well settle into using my favourite distribution. I love the feeling of Fedora but I have to use Arch for its incorporation of Deepin stuff.

My WiFi on arch is so all over the place when it connects to my phone hotspot. Connects, disconnects, “oh what’s the password again?” Otherwise router based WiFi is fine.

Actually the Bluetooth is somewhat even more reliable than the Windows one. And it waits for you to connect manually instead of auto connecting to that one speaker you happen to have on.

Gnome is pretty well integrated with everything, especially with extensions to make up for less features in stock gnome than kde.

MVP 😝

You’re a lot less likely to get downvoted for something that offends someone, even if it’s just a knowledge point.

Fedora is a good bet, it’s really up to date and should simultaneously be stable.

I use endeavouros (Arch) gnome variant because I need a working distribution in Mainland China with an additional emulated deepin application or two (I hate tinkering with wine or bottles). But otherwise I’d be using Fedora.

I like gnome. I’d say KDE second. Fedora workstation does gnome and there’s the kde variant of course.

In 2006 my university used Ubuntu, I thought ‘Wow, this is different!’ Tried it out on my own computer but I was a heavy gamer so windows was the best option (hey, Win7 pretty alright anyway!)

Fast forward to about 2022, I try it again but it’s not getting incorporated well with my program usage in school (as a teacher).

Fast forward to 2024, worked out that Tencent software is on AUR (teacher in Mainland China) and I figure I’m doing another dive. So far, so good. Little itty bitty glitches especially with Libreoffice but I’m getting by without touching Win10.

And the docx or pptx can be checked for formatting errors in the online MS (images in tables may not be anchored as a character for example).

Not surprised, it was a bit of a niche project that was quite hard to get into (the options took a bit of reading around to understand what they were on about). It is easy enough to find the flavour of UI you want and more from the arch distros out there (I just found I actually do need cups on my EndeavourOS gnome distro and that’s something I didn’t toggle (printing). Time to throw in some cups and foomatic packages in there). So again, it’s about purpose and as much as I would have liked to have gotten into something about customisation, I’ve kind of already got a minimal-ish distro to work on.

Brave is a fairly recent outlier, and while it isn’t quite proprietary, it stinks a fair bit of something capitalist/crypto.

Are you asking for Sanskrit? Why not fcitx5.

I run Arch EndeavourOS on an old ThinkPad Yoga and it’s good. Fingerprint devices unfortunately seem to be heavily suppressed in Linux by whatever proprietary or encrypted firmware trash is going on, but those devices are not really important.

I also said pp out aloud and chuckled like a little boy.

I know the feeling that it seems to be duct taped together (makes sense since there’s thousands of developers working independently and collaboratively, unlike under Microsoft or Apple) and it sometimes infuriates me how each and every distribution has their easy install points, and yet confound certain other points.

For instance I want a Chinese IME? Fedora will get that done in a minute, but Arch varying results from install from terminal of fcitx and adding lines to a config. On the other hand Arch AUR has optimised software and mirrors for my region of the world.

Don’t know if you tried Gnome but I love it for some reason, maybe because it’s so different and customisable via extensions. So yeah, enjoy the ride!

Fedora, so most Gnome based distros. KDE as commented beside me. Arch-based EndeavourOS.

Loads of fingerprint readers are not useable in Linux either, thanks Synaptics, and Co!
