Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?
  • Not sure if I will continue using Gentoo, but thats what I've been using for the past.

    I was curious just to try to install it, but after I did it and learned about portage (package manager) and the USE flags and I really liked it beacause it gives you so much control. For example, dont want packages to have bluetooth because your motherboard doesn't support bluetooth? You can do it via USE flags per package or globally. Idk I just really like this.

    But im hella busy rn in college so I might go back to arch or fedora.

    Edit: Brain no worky meant to say for the past month.... mb

    If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now
  • Well if you're talking about privacy, then the answer is yes. Vivaldi only collects what pc specs you have or something like that to see how many users day have. Way better than what google chrome does. But I guess yes you are technically supporting the chromium engine monopoly but tbh just use what you like.

  • In adittion to this make sure to disable the telemetry that's on by default. If you want even better protection from fingerprinting etc, use arkenfox/librewolf (librewolf being preconfigured fork of firefox)

    Dutch government starts own Mastodon instance as reaction to the instability of Twitter
  • Wow, I never thought about this, but this is probably pretty good to have right? Might be a good way to find info about something if their sites are really confusing etc possibly

    Is AMD really that much better?
  • Yeah wayland has been working surprisingly well for me here too. It's just annoying that they've again fucked up and now can't have a monitor above 144hz if there is more than one enabled.... Literally aids.
