No mobile app makes it difficult.

Shiori has a 3rd party mobile client.

openSUSE Tumbleweed. I've tried switching to Aurora and Bazzite, but ended up using openSUSE again and now I love it even more.

EDIT: Typos.

EDIT 2: I also love tinkering with Void and Alpine on VMs.

JustMarkov , (edited )

Wdym? Installing Nvidia drivers on openSUSE is just one simple command:
sudo zypper in nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default

That's all, no additional configuration required, even the kernel arguments will be handled by the Nvidia driver.

JustMarkov , (edited )

Though I assume you're a KDE user and thus waiting for Kalpa to become mature before a test ride.

That's right!

Could you elaborate on what you didn't like about Aurora and Bazzite;

Bazzite comes with Lutris and Steam preinstalled as native packages. I don't use Lutris and want to use Steam as flatpak, so I decided to try Aurora.

For some reason it was surprisingly unstable. I've had various issues with KDE, DXVK and a few mainstream errors, that I had to either try to fix myself (like this one) or simply ignore (like this one). I've switched back to openSUSE and now I'm happier than ever about openQA existence.

Vanguard (Valorant, LoL) detects a VM pretty easily.

I wish they'd add more languages.

JustMarkov ,

uBlock Origin
NoScript

NoScript is redundant with uBO. As well as DuckDuckGo extension.

Decentraleyes
CookieAutoDelete

Have no privacy impact.

JustMarkov ,

4 years is pretty new? How much time should pass by for it to become trustable?

JustMarkov ,

No statements about what they log

It's on their main page bruh:

If you use the AmneziaVPN app for a self-hosted VPN, we do not collect any data about you or your server.

If you connect to our services, such as Amnezia Free and Amnezia Premium, we collect only the data necessary for the VPN to function.

JustMarkov ,

Amnezia is interesting. It is definitely better than just self-hosting a vanilla WireGuard/OpenVPN, because of the obfustation options they provide (XRAY Reality, Cloak etc.)
Although, personally I would prefer to simply setup any of the protocols myself than rely on Amnezia or Outline or whatever else. For non-tech savy users this might be a great option though.

JustMarkov ,

Why tho?

JustMarkov ,

MX Linux is the best, obviously. Otherwise it wouldn't be #1 on DistroWatch, right? /j

JustMarkov ,

I'm scared to read other comments in this thread, because of how hateful people usually are when someone mentions Hyprland.

JustMarkov ,

KDE is rock solid on my device, unlike Gnome. What do you mean by that exactly?

JustMarkov , (edited )

Gnome likes to remove important APIs from time to time which leads to extensions being broken for an awfull long time after an update and also has all sorts of issues with QT apps, simply because Gnome devs do not want to bother with things they consider not important.

What's your issue with KDE?

EDIT: Typos.

JustMarkov ,

Getting a feeling there'll be some uncomfortable ones

Nah, they'll just ignore all the inconvenient questions.

JustMarkov ,

XED is amazing, but I don't get it why they've changed the name. Previous was better, IMO.

JustMarkov ,

Raspberry Pi 5/400 with Waydroid? Just a thought.

JustMarkov ,

No, unfortunately. It is just the first thing that came to my mind reading your requirements.

JustMarkov ,

I hope that LadyBird could become a viable alternative as well.

JustMarkov ,

Only one calendar on free tier? Thanks, but I'll just stick to the local one.

JustMarkov ,

Too bad I've switched to KeePassXC already.

JustMarkov ,

I wanna buy a PostmarketOS compatible device someday.

JustMarkov ,

https://nosystemd.org/

Sorry, I couldn't resist. /j, obviously.

JustMarkov ,

Cool project! Is there any plans on releasing a mobile app in the future? I'm allergic to PWAs.

JustMarkov ,

In theory, I could just have a downloadable .apk for Android to circumvent the fee but most people don't want to install a random .apk from the internet.

You could've considered F-Droid.

Soo, yeah that'll probably not happen :(.

It's sad. Anyway, good luck with future development!

JustMarkov ,

That's why F-Droid exists.

JustMarkov ,

Native apps will always be better, imo. I think less apps should use PWAs. No offense to those who use them, though. It's just my personal preference.

JustMarkov ,

Snap? Can we not?

JustMarkov ,

the most popular distribution still uses Snap

Ubuntu is the most popular? On server maybe, on desktop I doubt it.

Flatpak does not support CLI only applicatoins

It is not true. You can install Neovim as flatpak, for example.

Also some may like it more that Snap relies on AppArmor instead using the custom solution of Flatpak.

It only means, that on distros without AppArmor you get almost no sandboxing of snap applications.

The only advantage snap has is the ability to package drivers as snaps. Other than that there's simply no reason to choose proprietary-backed snap over flatpak.

EDIT: Typos.

JustMarkov ,
JustMarkov ,

Both have nonfree stuff in there.

But flatpak's backend is open source and self-hostable, while snap's is proprietary and not self-hostable. Flatpak is the lesser of evils from this point of view.

JustMarkov , (edited )

We can't choose for you, unfortunately, only give you advice. My advice question is: Kubuntu and Debian (KDE Neon too, iirc) are an LTS distros, why would you chose them given your criteria?

For myself, I can recommend Bazzite or Aurora, if you are okay with using an immudable distro. They are both Fedora Atomic based, but Bazzite is gaming first, while Aurora is a general purpose distro.

openSUSE Tumbleweed is also amazing. It is rolling and generally one of the best KDE experiences you can get. It also has a snapper tool, which lets you to rollback to the state before the update or even further.

LibreTube works just fine if you disable proxying. FreeTube / FreeTubeCordova also works perfectly fine.

JustMarkov ,

Libretube gives the error for me either straight away or after a few videos. Sometimes using a VPN and changing servers all the time helps.

Have you tried disabling the Piped proxy?

FreeTube is a desktop only app unfortunately.

I've linked FreeTube Android in my first comment, actually.

JustMarkov ,

Mojeek is cool, but trying to search something in my first language results in 0 results find.

JustMarkov ,

KDE, because it has all the features I need and also because I love theming and while QT apps can be themed pretty easily, GTK theming is somewhere between being absolutely horrible and non-existance.

JustMarkov ,

Omnivore is not easy to self-host and now I understand why.

JustMarkov ,

Shiori is also good.

JustMarkov ,

It seems like a dream come true for Linux phones.

JustMarkov ,

It was expected. This is how "free" development becomes a victim of not at all free dogmas. It is also how already fragmented Linux development becomes even more fragmented.

JustMarkov ,

What's free about delisting maintainers based on their country of residence?

JustMarkov ,

It's amazing, but… why?

JustMarkov ,

Sway is cool, but no support for Nvidia proprietary drivers, unfortunately.

JustMarkov ,

I mean, if Linus had given a more professional commentary, this whole drama definitely wouldn't be so loud, but we have what we have.

JustMarkov ,

That's true, but how much hard-forks do you know?
