BSD is mostly Unix too, so even if Unix didn’t have 100% because of mac and Windows it was like 99%

Linux is just the unix flavor that replaced the others.

Is there any electronics made only for the UK? What for example?

This, or show an annoying popup over the screen saying it can’t connect to network and wifi needs to be configured

Do you know any 55 inches computer monitor?

Well that guy is the monetization director, so his job is literally to insert micro transactions into everything.

Not irreversibly, but it’s annoying to be forced to spend an hour searching for an answer in forums then fixing to get networking or GUI back before you can do productive work.

Packages for third party apps is the one place we don’t want fragmentation.

No, they’re all orthodox christians now

• Stay clear from nvidia. AMD if you buy a graphics card, if you just use integrated graphics both AMD and Intel are fine
• When picking a motherboard, look what wifi chipset is used and check Linux compatibility. Some wifi chipsets require to manually install drivers, and some just don’t work at all

Private Internet Access is just a VPN?

I’ve had no issues installing the flatpak for ProtonVPN and using it.

There are a few improvements in Aurora over Silverblue that you might like.

It ships with homebrew which is perfect for CLI tools.

It ships with distrobox instead of toolbx which is much better. You can install any distro while toolbx is just a Fedora. For example I’m using Arch in toolbox because of the number of packages and the fact that they’re usually up to date (no need to wait for a major release).

So far I never had to use rpm-ostree, and for VSCode I use distrobox precisely because of the permissions.

For me atomic distributions are the way to go.

You get a rock solid base system that get updated automatically, and every single user has the same image so you can’t get into a bug that’s only reproduced on your system because of your combination of system packages. If for any reason you have a problem with an image update, you can always boot on the previous image from grub.

Then user apps come on top of that, and can’t break the base system.

I know you tried Kinoite and got stuck, but there is always a way to unblock yourself and install what you want. If it’s not in flatpak there is homebrew (for CLI), and if it’s in neither there is distrobox. You can also do a rpm-ostree for native packages if all the others fail.

You can also check universal blue, Aurora in particular if you want KDE. It’s based on Fedora Silverblue but with an improved out-of-the-box experience.

If I have a new PC with a blank hard drive, what should be the install order?

Windows, then rEFInd, then Linux?

It’s sad how you recognize that Apple tactics to artificially keep their users captive is working for you.

I would rather suffer an inconvenience than recognizing I’m captive of a company.

I too prefer big distros, but niche distros are usually big distros with small tweaks in the default config or installed packages. It’s Debian/Fedora/Arch slightly tweaked.

Windows have always been trash. Windows 9x were the worse.

Windows NT was better, Windows XP was trash at release then got better with updates (the service packs).

Windows Vista was a shitshow, then 7 was better. Windows 8 was horrible, the 10 was a bit better.

Windows always oscillates between trash and acceptable. There is not much to “ruin” to be honest.

Most places deploy to Linux, and for those knowing Linux helps a lot. Also a lot of places will give MacBook pro, expect you to know the CLI so a lot of Linux knowledge will be useful there.
