KDE has a lot on documentation, maybe you would get some inspiration of how this can be done: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/documentation

I’m running everything that is proprietary (Steam for example) on a second user that is a not an admin account. Heroic and the like are installed via Flatpak that is sandboxed. Sometimes games contain malware, even on Steam. If something goes badly wrong, I purge that second user.

Microsoft be like: Storage has gotten very expensive? Hold my beer!

A shop that’s been around for ages and is very generous when it comes to adding extra stuff to a big order - our local group is ordering there for many years now: https://www.ixsoft.de/cgi-bin/web_store.cgi (see “Fan-Artikel” then “Aufkleber” - yes, the website looks dated, I know)

There are dozens of articles about why Ubuntu has drawn criticism, here is an example: https://abh.ai/blog/why-ubuntu-and-canonical-drew-criticism-many-members-foss-community

I would recommend you read some of them to make up your own mind, and don’t rely too much on opinions here. Privacy is a broad term, only you know what is important to you and where you would draw the line.

First I always check with sudo journalctl -r Check journalctl --help for more options or do sudo journalctl --since "2015-06-26 23:15:00" --until "2015-06-26 23:20:00" Then search errors online or come back with more questions.

Thank you for this, it looks great!

I will have the time to check this out further on the weekend, but quick question before: will people be able to find channels aligned with their interests like they do on Discord? Let’s say for certain games or other topics. Because that is why many of my friends are still there.

KDE Neon is being used as playground for KDE, not Fedora. They update daily there: https://kde.org/distributions/

This might change when they are done developing KDE Linux: https://community.kde.org/KDE_Linux

You could check this website but be aware it’s a long list for all kinds of services: https://riseup.net/radical-servers

They provide the GNOME or COSMIC desktop, if that is of relevance to some.

You are correct, one shouldn’t post while sick, sorry.

This is great, but sadly appimages don’t work on immutable desktops. But it’s very positive that they are providing that.

I don’t mean to crash the party, I used to love Ventoy too. But then the blob issue came up and it was met with silence for over a year by the maintainer, that made me a bit uncomfortable. They have responded to it a while ago, but it’s no trivial task to solve as I understand it: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/3224

First you need to download the provided file from the distro page. Something with Checksum in the name most of the time. The website should provide instructions. Please note that does not validate the gpg key.

Quick Method Terminal: Open the terminal at the location of the ISO file or go there with cd. Type sha256sum NameOfIsoFile.iso - it takes a moment depending on your system. Copy the output (some long numbers/letters). Compare it with the downloaded checksum-file - open the file, press ctrl-f or whatever you have for find and paste it. If it’s found, it’s the same.

Method KDE: Right click the file, open properties, then go to tab “Checksums”. Paste same number/letter combination from above into the provided space “Expected checksums…” - if it’s green, it’s correct.

Signal is included as Flatpak. You have to enable “untrusted Flatpaks” (or whatever the wording is) in the Software Manager settings.

It was a controversial thing Mint added not long ago. Discussing this in detail would derail the post though.

One of the forums regulars, Pjotr, made this website exactly for questions like that: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/1.html

–> see “B. Right after the installation of Linux Mint”

That’s not too hard a question for me, I’ve been using the same DE for years: KDE
