Is there any electronics made only for the UK? What for example?

This, or show an annoying popup over the screen saying it can’t connect to network and wifi needs to be configured

Do you know any 55 inches computer monitor?

Not irreversibly, but it’s annoying to be forced to spend an hour searching for an answer in forums then fixing to get networking or GUI back before you can do productive work.

Packages for third party apps is the one place we don’t want fragmentation.

No, they’re all orthodox christians now

• Stay clear from nvidia. AMD if you buy a graphics card, if you just use integrated graphics both AMD and Intel are fine
• When picking a motherboard, look what wifi chipset is used and check Linux compatibility. Some wifi chipsets require to manually install drivers, and some just don’t work at all

Private Internet Access is just a VPN?

I’ve had no issues installing the flatpak for ProtonVPN and using it.

There are a few improvements in Aurora over Silverblue that you might like.

It ships with homebrew which is perfect for CLI tools.

It ships with distrobox instead of toolbx which is much better. You can install any distro while toolbx is just a Fedora. For example I’m using Arch in toolbox because of the number of packages and the fact that they’re usually up to date (no need to wait for a major release).

So far I never had to use rpm-ostree, and for VSCode I use distrobox precisely because of the permissions.

For me atomic distributions are the way to go.

You get a rock solid base system that get updated automatically, and every single user has the same image so you can’t get into a bug that’s only reproduced on your system because of your combination of system packages. If for any reason you have a problem with an image update, you can always boot on the previous image from grub.

Then user apps come on top of that, and can’t break the base system.

I know you tried Kinoite and got stuck, but there is always a way to unblock yourself and install what you want. If it’s not in flatpak there is homebrew (for CLI), and if it’s in neither there is distrobox. You can also do a rpm-ostree for native packages if all the others fail.

You can also check universal blue, Aurora in particular if you want KDE. It’s based on Fedora Silverblue but with an improved out-of-the-box experience.

If I have a new PC with a blank hard drive, what should be the install order?

Windows, then rEFInd, then Linux?

It’s sad how you recognize that Apple tactics to artificially keep their users captive is working for you.

I would rather suffer an inconvenience than recognizing I’m captive of a company.

No matter how they package it, running a binary downloaded from Internet has the same attack surface

To people down voting you, it’s important to note that Google-free, pure FOSS Android based OS do exist.

This is what you should be looking at if you want a fully Open Source phone OS, with no privacy issues (no phoning to Google servers).

Ubuntu was the first distribution trying to release a consistent OS, rather than throwing every Linux software possible and letting the user choose.

Also they provided graphical tools for everything, in a user friendly way and consistent with the rest of the Desktop.

But nowadays most mainstream distributions propose that anyway.

It’s not that much for a tech company with such a big user base
