Thanks for reminding me that Pinta exists. :D I remember not enjoying it as much as paint dot net, but I’m a dirty Linux user so if I ever need to do some photo work I might give it a shot instead of fumbling around on GIMP forever.

Bane of avocado toast enjoyers.
It’s not a competition, all operating systems suck.

As someone who does not do any sort of professional photo editing, I find GIMP and Photoshop to be equally confusing as hell. The only photo editor I’ve used with any degree of success is paint dot net, which obviously doesn’t have the same firepower as the bigger options.
Plus it has a decent web framework in Blazor. I’m not a developer by trade, but I’ve enjoyed it in the context of small, personal projects.
I will say that, with Kagi, I enjoyed the custom site ranking feature. That said, the image results usually sucked, the site searches weren’t really that much better than something like DDG, and it overall wasn’t worth supporting a company with another egotistical tech bro CEO.
Shoot, that’s hardly an exaggeration - I was only recently able to deprecate the last of our Server 2003 instances, which was running a program originally designed for 2000 Server!
I work IT at a hospital here in the US. The key issue is compatibility. Most of our vendor software flat-out does not support Linux at all, either on the client or server side. Shit, half of it barely even works on modern versions of Windows.
Been on it for about a year now, both with my desktop’s A770 and my laptop’s AMD iGPU. Experience has been pretty much flawless.
Funnily enough, I don’t know that I’ve ever even paid attention to contact photos (not that 99% of the people I email have would have them anyways.)
I’m mostly just protecting the mountain of old stuff in my archives that I’m too much of a digital hoarder to delete. ;D
a lack of sender authentication is another one
This one is a nightmare. We spend bucketloads on DMARC shit in our department, only to still have loads of issues with email spoofing.
Based on the reading I’ve done, it doesn’t really seem like one exists - it’s just not what email was designed to do. I’m not an infosec professional, but that’s the impression I’ve been given by others in the field.
My experience has been fine. If you go into Proton Mail with the understanding that you’re doing it to stop Google from data mining your email, and not for the sake of truly private/anonymous email, you’ll have a good time. The aliasing feature is super nice as well.
I still use Clonezilla to back up devices before performing reinstalls/major updates (when Timeshift isn’t practical). No issues so far backing up and restoring both Windows and Linux partitions/drives.
Given we’re not counting the Steam Deck or virtual console titles, I’d probably go with the DS. I’m too big of a dirty Pokemon fan (among the million other great IPs on the older Nintendo handhelds), and the DS is particularly nice because it has backwards compatibility with the Gameboy Advance.
Fedora. I love Debian as well, but both of my computers needed more recent libraries, and now I’m curious to see how far I can take these installs.
I use Debian as a default and Fedora when I need a newer kernel/newer libraries. You aren’t weird at all. Or, at least we’re weird together. :)
If you happen to have a Nextcloud instance, there is a decently robust Notes app that can be used from either the web browser or from a standalone app on Android (available on f-droid and Google Play).
I’m watching Cinnamon’s Wayland rollout with great interest. No Pipewire sharing yet (among other things), but I’m excited for the future.
Well, “just works” in the Todd Howard interpretation. ;)
Shoot, I’d probably be one of them if not for my need to have Wayland and slightly newer libraries for my A770.
Luckily for you, there’s a version 2!
