Indeed.

Underrated? It’s the single most recommended distro for beginners.

I didn’t know about this. Looks good.

They were probably familiar with the name “Google”, makes it seem official and supported.

Unfortunately, OS Flex is the worst of both worlds; bad Linux distro and no Android runtime and libraries.

This is why I argued at the time that the problem was not the lack of an 18+ rating, but the philosophy of the law was wrong. The lack of an 18+ rating meant that some games could not be rated, and if a game does not have a rating from the government then you cannot sell it. This is effectively a situation where all games are by default banned unless explicitly allowed by the government.

Lobbying for an 18+ rating doesn’t solve this problem. And this is exactly what happened; an 18+ rating was created, but with some things that are excluded from that rating. If a game includes those things, then it can’t get an 18+ rating and therefore banned.

The default position should be the other way around: everything is allowed by adults only unless explicitly allowed for minors.

I am not convinced that you can fix unenlightened, paternalistic government behaviour with technocratic bureaucracy reforms.

And even with 4GB Linux itself is not the problem. It’s the apps. So many Electron apps that use so much memory because they’re running in Chromium instances.

But then how are you supposed to surveil citizens?

I have no idea what impact Valve has had, but SteamOS is indeed Arch Linux with Valve’s kernel, KDE Plasma desktop and a separate Gamescope session running a big picture mode like environment.

My work laptop with W11 already has the fans spinning very fast most of the time. When you turn it off you have this uneasy silence in the room.

After work, changing over to a Thinkpad with Fedora, it is silent, even getting it to play Rome 2.

I can’t remember exactly. There are two app stores and Discover is one of them. If I was you I would boot into a live or virtual environment and check it out. I think it’s explained in the welcome screen.

Sorry I can’t remember.

Correct. Just use Signal. Problem solved.

Discover in Kubuntu works a little differently than you would expect if you used KDE elsewhere.

You are right, the app management philosophy for Kubuntu is not quite right. Canonical put their effort towards providing Ubuntu with Gnome.

I had very similar issues, and since I wanted KDE (so many machines in my house already using KDE and I’m starting to get really comfortable with it) and I needed to use a specific app without containerization and the developer only makes a deb and rpm, I ended up trying Fedora with KDE. The DE bundled there is quite unadulterated, it’s basically a near latest stock KDE desktop. It was very seemless, you almost need to know nothing specific about Fedora, just use you muscle memory navigating the desktop.

Aren’t they making a CopilotOS?
