        I’m usually too lazy to click into those things, when I’m on my phone I use Firefox focus and just accept all be cause as soon as I’m done viewing the site it’s all gone anyways

          I use fennec (firefox from f-droid) with uBlock using all the filters, so I get no popups anymore.

          Can opt to automatically open links in private navigation too.

                  And if you already use uBlock Origin for adblocking, you can simply enable the cookie-notice filters and avoid needing to install another extension:

    You gonna be very upset when you realize that Fedora ditched support for some essential codecs for hardware acceleration on Intel Integrated Graphics and any forum won’t be able to help you properly. Bullshit experience. Arch is much better (btw)

      Why do we gotta be like this?

      Fedora is fine, it’s the work of seconds to add non-free codecs.

        You don’t even have to do that, if you use a flatpak.

      Do you have a link that talks about this? What is missing?

        They’re probably talking about Fedora dropping the h.264, h.265 and VC1 VA-API support back in 2022 for legal reasons due to patents:

        https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-Disable-Bad-VA-API

        It’s largely a non-issue as you can easily install the patched Mesa from RPM Fusion, and I believe all Flatpaks incorporate the codecs already.

        Don’t get me wrong, Arch is great and it will always have a place in my heart, but I also think Fedora is a top-tier project and I completely understand why they weren’t comfortable risking patent law unnecessarily.

            I wasn’t aware the calculator app used h.264/5, what relevance is that?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
