I’m not a big fan of recommending neither Fedora nor openSUSE for first-time Linux users. Both of these require you to use terminal to add third-party repository (which is also a topic of discussion in itself) and swap your ffmpeg/mesa/video player to a 3rd-party repo one. That gives users a pretty bad first time experience.

Denmark is the country responsible for the chat control proposal so I think we all know where it’s going.

Denmark is the one spearheading chat control, btw.

This will not go well. Their track record with snap has been terrible from the security standpoint. How many times was malware found in the snap store? Not to mention subpar sandboxing that results in file access issues and missing features due to the nature of sandbox. I feel like Ubuntu has enough problems as is, especially with their non-LTS releases.

Well, since I use Linux, Steam is the only platform that cares about my money. The competition chose not to support my system.

Amazing how bad it has gotten just in 2025 alone. We had:

-play integrity api

-changing the monthly security patches into embargoed proprietary blobs

-not releasing device trees for 10 series

-holding back the source code of QPR releases

-the upcoming app installation lockdowns

I guess Pinephone with a 20k mAh powerbank taped to the phone starts looking pretty good…

Are they? I’ve had three Pixel phones, all of them second-hand and I always though they are ridiculously cheap when you get one about a year after release. I got my Pixel 8 in december for a little below 300€, still on warranty. I would never pay a full price for a Pixel phone, though. Way too underpowered considering the full price.

Play services and play store are not installed by default. You can choose to install them and they will be sandboxed, but out of the box you get a clean system with no Google apps out of the box.
