The answer is always OpenSuse.

Kidding. Stick with what you know works.

But seriously: OpenSuse.

Just joking.

Not.

Why calculate?

While 1200 might be noon for one, another might just get used to 0800 to be noon. Who says 0000 must be midnight and 1200 noon?

Zypper could use some love, though it isn’t bad by any means. But Flatpak does make a huge difference for sure.

I’m good. But thank you for the tip.

Just posted the video, because I like that she’s quite balanced in her views. The subject matter will always trigger a level of controversy, esp. on lemmy. But the advice is pretty solid.

And if Mint isn’t the answer, go with Ubuntu. Or Zorin OS. Or PopOS. All of them are “right” and provide excellent beginner experiences for many people.

Chromite is on Android?

Usually the same. Except Brave I use Vivaldi.

So… for a clueless person like me - how do I use this?

What would you like to achieve? Would OpenSnitch be of assistance?

Ubuntu as well. I wish I could say OpenSuse…

I agree. OpenSuse should set the standards in this.

Tbf, they really need a designer to upgrade this visually a bit. It exudes its strong “Sys Admin only” vibes a bit much. In my opinion. 🙂

Not really related to the issue. If I understand correctly, your device isn’t bricked, but freezes. A bricked device doesn’t boot anymore, a frozen device is unresponsive. Or am I misunderstanding this?

…or Humble Bundle if they offer the actual software download.

Not if they just offer Steam keys.

In my opinion.

Set off both journalctl -qu gnome-shell and journalctl -qu gnome-settings-daemon. Both return nothing.

This has been mentioned a few times here. Didn’t know that. Thank you.

This “Beginners Guide” they have there is a serious turnoff. They might want to consider a more lightweight and friendly intro to their software. 😄

Still, if I find the time to go through this massive wall of text, I will.

That’s my struggle with this solution as well.

Still, a solid choice.

Not for the faint of heart, but I’ll keep it in mind.

Good tip. Thanks.

I’ve looked at it. It comes up a lot. Thank you.

Really wish we wouldn’t have to separate the two. This adds a complication layer for exiting Windows users.

Ideally: install app (insert name). Run and enjoy.
