Does the Minecraft launcher flatpak (com.mojang.Minecraft) count as a paid app?

Not a tiling window manager, but would Cosmic possibly serve your usecase?

Most of these points are fair, but… wine is not an emulator!

Cybersecurity and “stopping hackers” are very extensive and complex topics. It’s kinda like a mix of many areas of knowledge (software, hardware, coding, internet of things, etc…)

So one advice I think I can give you is that there is a “tool” of hacking that is often overlooked: Social Engineering.

Text editors are bloat, I only use punch cards

Nice to know you’re enjoying Linux :P

I think that later on in your adventure, you’ll notice that you don’t actually need a distro that’s hard to maintain in order to do the hardcore stuff.

Going back to more tame distros (Mint, Debian, Fedora, Solus) may actually suit you better, even for said tasks.

Hmm, I personally place Nix at the same level as Arch, because I see both distros being hard to get into because of how different they do stuff when compared to the average OS.

Maybe the real level up is trying to run BSD on unsupported hardware?

I thought the “hardcorer” alternative to Arch was LFS

Bro is being sent to the “boy-kissing” floor

I think it looks prettier than Windows 10 but not close to Windows 7

Anyone who uses this font in their phone deserves to be kept offline 🙏

Megaman X9, pleaaaase!! 🥺

I thought about it too 😁 But it also (presumably) means somewhat inferior graphics. So it’s a benefit with some cost if you care about extra polygons

Sad to hear 😕

It’s been about a year or so since I’ve played Genshin, but I played it exclusively on Linux through Bottles while a friend of mine played through Heroic and we had no issues. Did something change since then? What would be the benefit of playing it via Waydroid? (Except for testing, of course :P)

I haven’t tried it personally, but there is a Linux software called QMMP, which is kinda like a winamp clone.

Maybe it has compatibility with said formats?

Howdy 🗣️‼️

It’s a fair take, but even still, someone who goes out of their way to get to fdroid and install Fennec should very well be aware of alternatives to Google.

An argument that discards knowledge as a factor only makes sense to me in a context of a tech illiterate installing Firefox directly from the Play Store.

Also, from my own knowledge (correct me if I’m wrong) the point of Fennec is to be as FOSS as possible, and not to have all the provacy-oriented defaults, if that were the case, I presume it would come with uBlock preinstalled, for example.

It’s also worth mentioning that Fennec never changes what defaults you set with updates (at least in my personal experience, would like to hear if anyone had a different story) EDIT my own default settings was changed to Google later that day. So can’t argue on that 😂
