When mom tried Linux Mint she said: there is no wait time at shutdown, I am use to wait on Windows Update.

I doubt that as the agent need to work first. Which it does not. And it will not solve the gui part. I do not accept running one extra VM as solution. Better is to look for alternative backup solution.

Veeam endpoint backup. The GUI does not exist and the cli version does not work with Fedora 41 and btrfs. I think it is the file system that is not supported. However, I use timeshift but it is not sending it remotely.

I think the question should be why choose eOS over normal Android. Because it is not fully Google made. Competition is good. Yes, I don’t know how to switch Android ROM, so does many other as well.

Kde because i want customization and standard is also ok. I tried gnome but did not like that extensions were required for tray icons etc. Gnome is otherwise good.

I3 and hyperland i dont get. Some windows should not be very large no matter how much free screen space you have. Example is calculator or old school chat applications like pidgin. No native standard set of applications. Everything must manually be added and custom, like everything in kde settings(sound output, network settings, screen size etc). Waiting for when applications can recommend its screen size to the window manager.

Teams for Linux and Co pilot because it was not previously supported in Firefox and i have not checked the support nowadays. Firefox for everything else.

I am wondering if it is that good to have single instance for feddiverse. It hurt feddiverse servers to send to yet another location, or is it more like p2p so it scales well?

You will find many more at feddit.nu

Dataloss is never fun. File systemet in general need a long time to iron out all the bugs. Hope it is in a better state today. I remember when ext4 was new and crashed in a laptop. Ubuntu was to early to adopt it, or I did not use LTS.

But as always, make sure to have a proper backup on a different physical location.

Why?

I am more looking into BTRF for backup due to I run Linux and not BSD ZFS requires more RAM I only have one disk I want to benefit from snapshots, compression and deduplication.

I can in Thunderbird but I don’t reply to companies. They have no reply email adress. Like here is your order number or there is our latest campaign. I use customer chat for help or company have internal message system like banks. In general I like to avoid using email due to the protocol design.

For me this would not work. I have my own domain and give out like me-authy@example.com So if the email is sent to that I wound just know who leaked my email adress. Change email and ban everything to to the old adress. I never get spam this way.

What is the official reason here for removing it?

Good. Competition is good. If they suceed or fail just means we learn and build a better product.

Not leagaly but users will be frustated and leave. They will rollback within a day so you will not need to worry too much.

No ads. Lightweight app/website.

Maybe it is just avoiding big tech.

I want to take all my phone calls. I very rarely get one. Maybe 1 time per 6 months on my private phone. I have meetings on teams but don’t count them as it is remote working and only for work.

Besides, Google products just dies.

Can’t they just code this like an assistant or something? Much more power efficient.

You DO get a choice. You can shift to any other operating system in the world. I did go to Fedora with KDE.
