I also recommend Zorin OS. It’s a bit easier to set up than debian.

ooh I didn’t know that, thanks

what do you mean?

I have an epson ecotank and use it on archlinux with the epson scan software via usb. I select a dir and it puts the scan result there.

I am just trying to illustrate why posting personal anecdotal evidence is useless.

Linux and it’s software is in a state where you can expect every user to have a vastly different experience and set of issues or the lack thereof.

The bugs I have right now have nothing to do with hardware.

1. Window rules just refuse to work no matter what (wayland)

2. A single GTK app stays in light mode, while all other GTK apps are dark. On my laptop, same OS, same settings, same apps, (I dd the ssd) the app is dark…

I’m on a rolling distro so newest updates always.

I experience lots of bugs that only a handful of people share and the majority has never seen. And they are different from OPs.

Not selfhost but I use Hibiscus https://www.willuhn.de/products/hibiscus/

borgbackup has great versioning, reduplication and compression

Doing it the way a person would requires the file manager to understand context, which requires a lot more logic for arguably little benefit.

I’m so glad KDE Dolphin has a “natutal sorting” option. Not sure about this specific case, but I have never been surprised by the order with that setting.

Would be interesting to check the code behind it.

Not even Microsoft has a Windows distro without a terminal.

Mindustry and Veloren are also pretty big and fun games!

The problem with Levenstein distancein in this context is that it does not consider phonetics.

Sometimes differently written words rhyme perfectly and other times identically written words have multiple meanings and distinct pronounciations that do not rhyme.

afaik Linus is against GPLv3 in his Linux project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaKIZ7gJlRU

hyperbola

they have a wiki with insane nonsens about why they don’t package certain things. Example:

pam Package has different security-issues and is not oriented on the way of technical emancipation as Hyperbola is trying to adapt lightweight implementations.

There is probably no out of the box solution, but if you want to give it a go and hack it together, this combination might work (or it might not, I don’t think anybody tried yet)

I’ve been running radicle for a while to sync my desktop and mobile calenders without any hiccups ever.

the window rules one really fucks me up.

It stopped working at the beginning of the year for me and nobody gave a shit about the bug reports.

Now I have to keep juggling windows and their sizes every day like a caveman.

Income from Steam is what ultimately made gaming on Linux viable. And to do that, they made significant open source contributions.

So I’ll keep giving them money of course.
