Gentoo and Debian. Debian will let you get back to what you really want to be doing whereas gentoo gives you excellent granularity over everything, but can be overwhelming and time consuming.
Really should ask yourself what you’ll be mostly doing and pick a tool (distro) that let’s you accomplish that.
Seems like someone maybe didn’t eselect the right profile
As awful as it is, this should be a wake up call that systems need to be protected and security can’t be an afterthought. Ev charging stations just be money trees for corporate groups to set and forget without consequences.
I don’t feel bad at all for them. I will say that the political jab is absolutely trash tier though. What kind of mongoloid berates proponents of clean energy (rhetorical).
Agreed with your closing thoughts. It’s never been more obvious that we can’t rely on commercial entities.
The fruits of years of organic growth within subs squandered in the name of corporate profits should be the wake-up call the average person needs.
Often when things like this happen (see:dig, twitter) the question gets asked “what can be done?” Well, let me tell you about FOSS…
Reddit and twitters recent moves were the driving force behind me switching to mastadon and lemmy, but I ditched meta/Facebook services long ago. Adding those back into this fold really makes the choice for me kind of easy. Inviting meta to the party is just a non starter.
Awesome! Glad it worked out
No you can always recover, uninstall it and reinstall later if you need it.
Looks like you could just
mv /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals/gnome.portal /home/<your-profile> and remove the associated env variable. This way you don’t mess with your packages. I’d start with the wiki linked in this thread.
I mean a core issue is that it doesn’t adhere to the unix principle of do one thing and do it well. Aside from that it essentially creates a middle layer where things can happen without you really knowing it’s happening. If you haven’t I’d suggest running a couple of different init systems to see what I mean.
I’m ambivalent, I like systemd because it’s convenient, but I also like openrc because it’s simple.
Doubt. If it somehow works out, do Google next
