Well, yeah. If your requirement is “no corporate”, then Pop doesn’t fit. However, if you don’t want to use Ubuntu because it’s a product of Canonical, I would still go ahead and recommend Pop, since it’s A) not by Canonical and B) a wholly different kind of corporate backing

Okay, so you can have intuitive and easy to use mouse gestures to speed up your browsing experience… But why wouldn’t you use Vimium and use your keyboard with 32697 unintuitive keybindings instead?

Technically, yeah. However, Pop isn’t their product, their hardware is.

They do their absolute best to create great software like coreboot and Pop and keep it all truly open source. They also innovate the space with things like COSMIC DE (which imo is phenomenal already, even in its early alpha state).

They only offer software support and help for customers of their hardware but that seems reasonable to me. The community is big and helpful so it makes sense for S76 to refer non-customers there.

I’ve been using Pop as a daily driver for more than 3 years now and a few months ago, I started to think about switching. Until recently, it was stuck on 22.04 with no clear indicator as to when 24.04 would be released. I decide that I was gonna wait for October and if i still felt that way, I was gonna switch. As of today, I haven’t switched and since the first alpha release of COSMIC and the recent alpha release of Pop 24.04, I’ve never even thought about it.

24.04 is fast, stable and works incredibly well with COSMIC. COSMIC is insane for productivity and has fixed almost all UX gripes I’ve ever had with GNOME and KDE. It’s truly amazing and a must-try imo.

rm is like “delete permanently”, trash-cli is like regular delete - it moves to the trash bin. Many people like making an alias so rm runs trash-cli to prevent accidentally permanently deleting data

No shit

I would say: “Don’t switch to Linux. Just start with Linux and never use Windows or Mac in the first place”

Don’t have to get used to something if you’ve never used something else.

Pine64 makes a security camera for use with a (included?) Raspberry Pi, iirc

(Not directly answering your question but) if it works like a VPN service then yeah. However, P2P connections might not be routed through TOR in that case. Be careful about that

Don’t speak the language but 100% agree

Definitely. I got a T470s that had barely been used for business purposes on eBay for 100€. It’s a great machine. Lots of I/O, great IPS touchscreen, great backlit keyboard, great trackpad, great build quality, awesome form factor, good battery life (about 6-8 hours). If you need a cheap laptop, get a used ThinkPad. They’re the best bang for the buck imo

The bootloader is open so you could throw Fairphone’s Android on there no problem. I think they provide the files for that (didn’t check so don’t know for sure)

Do you mean —? That’s Alt + Minus

Sorry but a word processor that doesn’t trigger a 9 second laggy animation with every button press is just simply unusable

I do use the SimpleLogin aliases, it’s one of my favorite services they offer. Most of my web storage (which I barely use anyway) and calendar and stuff is all Nextcloud

I use both. Proton fits most of my needs, Murena does the rest. I’m not attached to any of them though, if I’m given good enough a reason, I’ll drop Proton immediately

I wouldn’t? I suggested Murena as a Proton alternative. I don’t know if they have a password manager right know but you can always throw a KeePass database into your Nextcloud.

All of the hyperbole and speculation? The SSL stuff with TOR for example. That’s not proof, that’s a hint at best

As the mod of !c/e_os, I am so happy you brought this up. I use /e/ on my Fairphone 4, it’s great. The Easy Installer has come a long way, you should check it out https://doc.e.foundation/easy-installer
