I use fedora silverblue for a couple reasons. After jumping from elementary to Ubuntu to Manjaro to Artix I got tired of dealing with distro specific modifications and weird issues. With the Ubuntu based distro I never enjoyed how out of date some packages were. I’d hear about a cool new update for a program I use and realize it would be a while till that would be in my repos.

I really liked artix and Arch’s rolling release nature and I would probably enjoy arch if I still used my computer daily like I used to but now I can be away from it for a couple months at a time and I need updates to be stable.

I’ve found Fedora (silverblue in particular) to be a perfect middle ground between rolling release and having a more regular update schedule. I use silverblue because I never wanted to have to worry about an update breaking my install ever again.

I will admit that because silverblue uses flatpaks almost exclusively, my appreciation for software being up to date could be achieved on almost any other distro, but the vanilla style of fedora is what keeps me now. I’m a big fan of vanilla gnome and not too many distros ship it like that.

Good to know, I hadn’t heard about CasaOS before but on the surface it would’ve looked pretty nice.

He didn’t make “an abhorrent joke” he made repeated racist jokes, and served as a key funnel into the alt-right pipeline for years (and possibly still does).

Do I need to mention the entire “bitch lasagna” song he released to almost a hundred million impressionable children almost solely featuring racial micro and macro aggressions for Indian people? With gems like:

Your language sounds like it came from a mumble rap community

He literally dropped the n word hard ER entirely derogatorily on stream

Mullvad, and if you need port forwarding like @ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com said protonvpn is decent too. Proton executives have had some controversial statements supporting trump though making me wary of them
