Huh, they’re not doing digital ID 'round those parts either.

Good.

I’d go for Forjego or Gitea.

Canonical can kiss my behind if they want to implement digital ID.

I say at day-mon.

Someone bought them outright. To be fair about this, what they’re doing, at this entity’s hands, is treating people like Microsoft and Apple treat their users: like criminals.

Corporations police harder than governments, though.

A simple Arch logo flip from blue to red. That’s pretty nice, not gon’ lie.

I think XLibre, Phoenix, and Wayback woke them up.

Alrighty, what the flip made them do this?

This is why you CANNOT use Discord. This is encrapification.

Is your friend a beginner? If so, Mint or Pop_OS! should be considered, since they’re both Ubuntu-based. Bazzite is not recommended due to its atomic nature being kinda wonky, and Fedora I wouldn’t recommend due to IBM being a bunch of stubborn bums about antiquated technology (i.e. X11) that works fine, compared to newer stuff (i.e. Wayland) which is not ready for prime time at all.

If he isn’t, and knows what he’s doing, CachyOS is a good choice, but I’d recommend he use Cinnamon as his DE, since it looks similar to Windows Vista or Windows 7. It does have both X11 and Wayland, but it’s X11 by default.

If 6.19 comes to CachyOS with XLibre (of which I installed myself), I’m sure things will be going fine for me. Then again, I’m considered a baby vet (5 years) in the grand scheme of things.

This. Considering that you’d want to be with people, it only makes sense that you be analog for a bit.

I think that’s the reason why GNOME is getting kinda sloppy with their code right there. I use something GNOME-based (in Cinnamon), but that’s before the oxidization and JS surveillance code was added. (Last part was sarcastic)

Another X Server in Pheonix in Zig? I’ll keep an eye out for this one.

That seems to be a bit misinformed. There are some pieces of software that work on Linux, but just stick with FOSS, even if you download it yourself off of the internet (from the official sites too).

You mean IBM? Of course they would.

All of them, as far as I’m aware, are no-log. That’s why I made those recommendations.

I have some options: AdGuard (Cypress), ControlD (Austria), Mullvad (Sweeden), and Quad9 (Switzerland) come to mind.

This helps Photoshop addicts get out of Photoshop and into GIMP. That I can confirm myself (though I’m no Photoshop addict).

AI I certainly get, Omarchy I don’t see connections to, and GTK 4 is pretty nasty (as I’ve used tools using that disgusting system).
