Btrfs for everything these days, subvolume snapshots have been game-changing for me for doing backups.
Reddit would surely have to ban users from creating new subreddits for certain (previously allowed) topics, or else users would just create an alternative “free” subreddit and everyone would post there, right? This can’t work like something like YouTube Premium originals or else they’re going to have to pay certain popular people to post to the paywalled subs - but nobody uses Reddit to follow individuals.
This is one of the weirder surveys I’ve ever taken, I hope they know what they’re doing.
as did CentOS before it
Fedora is older than CentOS?
Last Windows I used exclusively was 98. I dual-booted XP at home but gave it up when I realised Linux had everything I need and I never used the Windows partition. Still had to use Windows 7 at work for a few years but since then I’ve worked in a position where I can bring my own OS.
Begs the question what’s the point in all of this? In 20 or so years of using Linux (usually maintaining multiple systems at once) I’ve had a kernel panic maybe about 4 times for different reasons, and on those occasions the console debug info was fine. I don’t really understand the excitement around making error messages look more like Windows. It can’t be around being more newbie friendly since if you’re having kernel panics you probably need to be an expert or have expert advice anyway.
What about Linux distribution repos? (in terms of where they fall in the known/unknown category)
OnlyOffice is nowhere near as full-featured as LO, as well as having huge performance issues especially when dealing with large spreadsheets. I have no idea why it keeps getting recommended.
It hasn’t had a meaningful update in ~10 years, and the problem is it still has the brand recognition which keeps potential users away from LibreOffice. It’s an embarrassment to Apache if you ask me.

I love Gnome but I think KDE’s Dolphin beats them all. Fortunately being Linux you can always use Dolphin with Gnome.
Sure, that should be absolutely your choice, it’s your browser.
If sites wanted to run ads and host them locally without tracking that would be fine. But since they’re tracking users it’s essential to block them for privacy and security, and if someone isn’t then maybe they don’t understand the level of tracking involved. We need a better name than adblocking.
I can confirm it’s greatly improved in terms of reliability in the last couple of years.
Remember the first time you used Google search? It was like magic. After years of progressively worsening search quality from Altavista and Yahoo, Google was literally stunning, a gateway to the very best things on the internet.
No, I’m not having that! That’s rewriting of history. I remember when Google came out, it was pretty much as good as Altavista and no more. It had the additional appeal that it looked (for the time) unique and fresh and had a weird name, I remember getting my friends to try this “weird new search engine that might someday beat Altavista” but it never revolutionised anything in terms of search results at the time.
Also Altavista was not getting progressively worse, I still remember the days when you could type a simple dictionary word into a search engine and have it return 0 results. Altavista is what changed that, not Google.
As much as I try to encourage alternatives, most people where I’m from use WhatsApp for everything these days and has been that way for the last ~5 years. I might get about 10 SMS messages a year but possibly thousands of WhatsApp messages.
It’s definitely a nicer experience around here if you block certain instances, I won’t mention names myself. The difference is that Meta’s instance is big enough to completely drown out everyone else which can’t be said about the above.
I don’t think there’s luck to it, F40 would be delayed if GNOME wasn’t ready.
There’s a good argument for keeping it small and focused. Massive all-encompassing social networks are relatively new and not a good thing in my opinion.
It’s worth a try, though in my experience it can struggle with very large files.
