No way to get reliable numbers without telemetry but KDE’s userbase is a lot louder for sure.

All three major enterprise distros use GNOME, none of them officially support KDE.

I don’t have 10 year experience but RHEL desktop and server. I used Fedora Copr to rebuild Fedora packages for my desktop, as well as my custom packages.

I have a Windows 7 VM I use when I need something more powerful than GNOME.

You mean tied to IDs or something?

Anything goes, ID is one way to do it.

This thread is acting like this is a slope to systemd distros requiring an ID check, if I’m reading it right.

The post itself is phrased like that for engagement.

They implemented part of the the low level works needed to implement birth date verification. Commercial distros like Ubuntu, RHEL and SteamOS might use it for law compliance. It’ll very likely be as easy to bypass as it can be since no one really wants this.

• Deadbeef
• Wine foobar2000
• rsgain command line

Depends on how advanced or niche the use case is. Flatpak and immutable distros covered the most common use for command line, that being package manager.

But Linux will start requiring command line earlier than Windows, random small utilities you’ll find on the internet tend to be command line only on Linux, whilst Windows equivalent usually provides a basic menu.

Fedora is probably the most balanced, being a semi rolling distro.

Kinda curious why would X11 have that many clipboards to begin with. Different people implemented their personal macros perhaps…?

OpenWrt usually supports a device until it’s infeasible or has no maintainers I believe. Beware of small flash!

Personally I recommend getting either a MediaTek Filogic device or one of those x86 boxes. They have the best FOSS support right now and having ARM A53 cores means you can do QoS at fairly good speed. Don’t expect good Wi-Fi if you went with devboards like OpenWrt One.

Seems like reverse Nazi to me.

Qubes OS gives him high security with relative ease.

Fedora Silverblue with auto update and Flatseal tightened apps is a nice middle ground.

RHEL minimises supply chain attack risk and provides features like kernel hot patching. He can use free developer subscriptions. Also try SUSE.

Security wise Chromium is a bit better than Firefox. Try to seal it up with SELinux. Red Hat only supports Firefox however.

SecureBlue can be used as a reference, but it’s still downstream so personally I’d avoid using it in case of supply chain attacks unless securing Silverblue is too much of a hassle.

Keep in mind that Flatpak sandbox interferes with browser sandboxes.

Firefox on Desktop. Chrome or Vanadium on Mobile.
