Unfortunately this is still missing. Especially some feature that someone can request the location, instead of me having to actively send it.
My partner could just pull it, with or without me approving (for a certain period). Or for kids. Or friends at a gathering.
All we need to know:
ubuntu still uses snaps
Bazzite
Apple does not allow other competing security and privacy features. If apple was opening up, the gov couldn’t do anything in the first place
If your government wants to look, we want to look as well
The difference between distros are the package manager and choice of default software and settings.
E.g. Debian has no wifi enabled. Hence, ubuntu (which is like debian) is much easier because it’s user friendly. Ubuntu uses a disliked packaging format, snap, which is not used by mint. That’s why people love mint, becaus it’s as easy as ubuntu and has no snaps. Blablabla
Whenever you want to know some linux thing, read the arch wiki and you’ll know more about it.
Distrobox is like a vm, you spin up a distro within your OS with no overhead and can use arch on debian. Or ubuntu on arch. Or fedora on opensuse, or all at the same time because why not?
I’d try https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/ or https://vanillaos.org/ and install most apps as flatpaks. Vanilla is like ubuntu but you don’t mess with the underlying system. Atomic fedora is “the same” but with fedora style. Problems arise at the dev level, not the user level. It should be good to go on your system
Mint vs fedora is completely irrelevant here. GNOME vs KDE is more important and fedora supports both.
Which packages can be installed is also completely irrelevant since you can use nix and distrobox and flatpaks on all distros. Package availability is no reason to choose one distro over another.
It looks really good but I wonder if it is as efficient as niri or paperwm https://blog.system76.com/post/cosmic-de-tiling-redesign-and-libcosmic-rebasing
