Ubuntu. Pretty sure you already have an idea why. Lol.
OpenSUSE. I’ve always had issues trying to use it, from zypper to updates to bootloops. It’s also sluggish compared to other distros (yes, same DEs usually) on my laptop. I’ve tried at least 3x trying to get why a lot of people love it. It’s just not for me.
I’ve never tried Manjaro yet, but coming from Arch and EOS I don’t think I ever will.
I just checked it out after seeing this post.
I just don’t understand why most are dead set on moving to discuit (?). I have absolutley nothing against that site but…
Come on. Reddit kicked your balls. Squabblr just basically suddenly decided to fuck you in the ass. And now you’re moving to another centralized platform where things can drastically change at the whims of a few individuals who are in charge? Haven’t you had enough? Smfh.
Edit: oh it seems they also changed the TOS to be more reddit-like. IE: your data is theirs. Lol.
It’s great. I’m on vanilla Arch now, but EOS would be my first choice if I ever wanted to change to another arch-based distro. The only time I ever encountered any issue (that’s not my fault) was the grub issue last year iirc. Other than that, it’s been pretty smooth. It’s basically Arch with a few QOL features preinstalled.
Edit: just like you, I was on Mint for years before switching to EOS. It’s easy, don’t worry. You’ll want to start reading, though. The wiki and aur are great.
I use Arch and Debian and I don’t think I ever had to build ungoogled chromium from source before (unless I wanted to, which I didn’t).
Firefox has telemetry. You can opt out and delete it, but by that logic it shouldn’t be trusted either. Also, I doubt people who really care about privacy don’t harden firefox. Being able to is not besides the point.
I’m not switching to Vivaldi because I’m not retarded.
Legit question: what’s bad about Vivaldi? I’ve been trying it out for a few days and I don’t see anything extraordinarily bad like Chrome/Edge. Although it might not be as privacy friendly as Brave and FF.
The app has always been trash. Idk how people can take using it for long periods of time. When I went back for a bit (during r/place), the deterioration of content was obvious. Don’t take my word for it - even redditors know it’s getting worse. All they have now is the amount of users.
