Have you tried running paint.net in Bottles? It would be less overhead.

I am from Czechia and I would also like to know.

Just use distrobox as long as it doesn’t hinder much the program’s functionality or your convenience.

Webp is actually good format AFAIK better than the traditional alternatives it’s just that it doesn’t have such wide support and jpeg-xl is superior in many areas.

I just use the “Just perfection” extension to hide to top bar and only make it visible in overview. It may sound annoying to have to use overwiew each time you want to see or interact with the top bar, but honestly for me it’s not that often to make that 1 or 2 extra keypresses annoying. When you get used to it it saves a lot of space.

I think Zorin OS 18 based on Ubuntu 24.04 was released just few days ago? will be released tomorrow. Also Zorin OS uses heavily modified Gnome Wayland session which is by many standards more “modern” and “leading edge” than X11 Cinnamon session. The desktop environment is by far the most significant thing an average Joe user will be affected by. If their packages are bit older they won’t notice as much.

I though many distros setup zram automatically? I know Fedora does. I would expect Ubuntu to do the same.

You are right. I forgot, that there actually is a GUI panel for NVIDIA. It’s pretty simplistic, but still that makes my previous claim false.

On Linux you have no official GUI companion app for your graphics card from NVIDIA AFAIK.

You protect yourself against “propaganda” by educating yourself and not falling for emotions. Not reading LLM responses won’t safe you from propaganda.

Just throw out LLM ideas you don’t find reasonable and only use ideas that you yourself find reasonable. You don’t instantly turn into a zombie when you use LLM. You can still use your head.

This. It doesn’t make sense for the eye to be minimalistic and the hand to be very detailed. Either they are both detailed or both minimalistic.

There’s a constant barrage of notifications, and by the time you have dealt with them, chances are you have forgotten what you wanted to do in the first place.

There’s a notification permission since Android 13 and you can always disable any apps notifications since I don’t know when. If you download a ton of shitty social media applications and games and then click “allow” on every notification permission prompt don’t be surprised then.

Then there is Gemini, Google’s artificial intelligence bot, which won’t leave you alone. Press the home (middle) button for half a second too long, and it pops up, offering to “assist” you.

Change the default assistant settings. You can disable the assistant feature altogether.

I think maintaning a Firefox fork is pretty demanding especially considering you are already maintaining a distro. And there are already a lot of Firefox forks out there.

Do the “right” thing.

Why don’t you explain your arguments or make counter arguments instead of attacking your opponent personally. How do I matter here?

I am not a Zorin OS fanboy or anything, but honestly I don’t see anything scummy about requiring payment from the user to get access to certain features of the product. It’s just shareware. It’s their product FOSS or not. I think they make it clear about what you get for free and what you don’t. If you don’t like that you don’t have to use their product and you can use an alternative instead. It’s not like they were a monopoly in the world of Linux distros and you have no other option. I see nothing scummy about this. It would be scummy if they would do some kind of false advertising (adverties features you actually don’t get or adverties features in a misleading way) or if they started moving features from the free to the pro version that used to be free, because some people may have relyed on these features.

Can you elaborate? Because to me this feels like saying that the local grocery shop is scummy because it wants people to pay instead of relying on donations. If the whole OS was paid like RedHat Linux is than it would be OK or you consider that to be also a case of taking advantage of users who don’t know any better.

Flutter uses its own UI engine. It does not rely on any webview AFAIK.

By contrast, Flutter minimizes those abstractions, bypassing the system UI widget libraries in favor of its own widget set. The Dart code that paints Flutter’s visuals is compiled into native code, which uses Impeller for rendering. Impeller is shipped along with the application, allowing the developer to upgrade their app to stay updated with the latest performance improvements even if the phone hasn’t been updated with a new Android version. The same is true for Flutter on other native platforms, such as Windows or macOS.
