500 dollars!? What’s the justification for that price?

Tumbleweed. 😋

I installed Cinnamon the other day, because I remembered it to be easy to use. It is.

But. It looks dated to me. Could really use a facelift. Maybe it’s just me, but in light of modern user interfaces Cinnamon is functional, but not a looker anymore. Zorin OS and Gnome in general, for example, show how it can be done.

Maybe just me…

OpenSuse Leap (or if you’re adventurous, Tumbleweed) can safely be placed here too.

An OpenSuse distro. Something like Tumbleweed should run quite well on a machine like your Dell.

Two on F-Droid I enjoy (there’s lots more):

• mucke
• Symphony (not sure if it’s still developed but it’s a great app)

Came to say this. Has not failed me yet.

Instead of dismissing Signal, I wonder if it could be changed to support a federated model.

Just a thought, because Signal has seen widespread adoption. Getting people to change their messenger is hard.

Do Android next. Please.

Played it. Loved it. Will play more.

Got confused by the options initially. I think I figured them out now. Mostly.

Is there a limit to the canvas? Or can I just add tiles endlessly?

Great game. Love that it can get as complex as I want to.

Work. Sadly Linux cannot run most Windows Store apps.

And there’s some niche software that runs, but crashes too much for my liking. So unfortunately in these cases: Windows.

Moved family mostly to Zorin. I stay with Tumbleweed.

Keeping Windows on dual boot for some edge cases. For the app or two that doesn’t run with Linux I keep Windows in a virtual machine (which sadly I need once or twice a day).

95% of my daily business runs on Linux.

Now I wish my phone would do that too.

I loved Mint. It’s still great. Recently I installed Linux on a family member’s laptop which is not upgradeable to Windows 11. Hate to say it (and I may be a bit petty here): Mint looks dated, Cinnamon needs a facelift.

That was a reason I went with Zorin. It clearly tries to transition users that come from Windows with it’s design (honestly, it’s modded Gnome looks awesome). Even running .exe files is as simple as just opening them. Zorin will either just run them or suggest a Linux alternative. Had no issues with that OS so far.

That said, Mint or Ubuntu are solid choices for beginners (and pros alike).

I truly hope they don’t retire it until there’s a true successor. Yast is in its own class of admin tools.

I agree. It’s only that it could use a facelift. In my opinion it looks a little dated these days. In my opinion.
