Great post! Very informative! I have tried to install Kinoite but it's tricky to do with partitions. I currently have all my data/files on a big partition and install the system in a different one, and I can't seem to install Kinoite without "formatting" the disk. Will do in the future for sure!

Well I'm not a huge gamer, specially since I have a kid, but I was expecting GTA with horses, but I'm enjoying it a lot (I don't really like GTA) anh I had not played this game, since I never had a console, but it came out for switch and I went for it. I'm not going to try to sell it to you. The no-map immersion is a big factor, I guess, which is new for me!

I've been playing Red Dead Redemption (the first one) and I'm enjoying it a lot. I've decided to play without the on-screen map and it does wonders for immersion, recognizing areas, locations, where people are, etc. I highly recommend it!

Budgie is very much not KDE.

 

What's the reasoning behind not having a "system tray" in GNOME? You need to install an extension for that, and that is a weird process for newcomers/beginners.

But my question is why? Does GNOME really think you don't need one? Why don't they include it?

Is Fedora "bad" for gaming? How so? I have steam installed and a couple of games but, granted, I don't game much these days! Would like to know more as I kind of have settled for Fedora

Yup! Monopoly alright. I'm lucky to have my bank's app working like a payment entity on Android, without having to go through Google Pay.

That's the premise behind AdNauseam, albeit only for ads and not general navigation: It clicks all the ads in the background, so the data won't ever target the real you.

Yeah that's what I thought, thanks for the answer!

To a "newbie", what does this mean? I transitioned to Linux full time less than a year ago and settled with KDE. Will this affect me in any way?

What's good about Void?

Option 2. It's the most robust. You'll never lose it (provided you have the redundancy), you can use it offline, you can transfer it using a USB pen, it's available in all platforms, including web. I've been using this for 8+ years, on my phone, desktop, laptop, company computer, etc. I store it on a personal cloud (and on each machine, of course, by syncing).

I do that sometimes. When the lenses have grease or salt from the beach, and I have no quick access to water, I'll lick them. I don't recommend it, but I do it.

 

Hi I'm relatively new to Linux. There's talk about updating, say from Fedora 37 to 38.

Is this something that needs to happen manually? If I solely update through the updater software, I'm not getting the whole "38"?

I understand that, of course, I won't see updates on the installer or I won't use a new supported partition type unless I install it again.

Apart from that, what's missing? Some software won't be updated? The kernel?

Thank you all!
