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!

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

That's the not-spyware part of it.

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?

Even better, for you, and for the planet, is to buy second hand.

But then you have to activate access to Less Secure Apps™. It's so disgusting.

What's good about Void?

 

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!
