Immich and ente are the best alternatives in my opinion. PhotoPrism is another great one worth mentioning

• MangoHUD
• Heroic Game Launcher
• Ludusavi
• rdmodman
• Bottles
• Proton Plus and ProtonUp Qt
• GPU Screen Recorder

If you’re comming from Windows and don’t want to be too much distabilized ZorinOS is probably one of the best.

Other great choice are:

• bazzite
• Linux Mint
• Pop_OS!

However CAD on Linux is not great, there is some free tools but they are so much more limited than the proprietary windows suite of tools. Maybe WinBoat could make your software run good enough.

I mean you cannot fit Monero in the same bucket as the rest of the cryptocurrencies. No foundation, no company, no VCs, no pre-mined, CPU-based PoW, no major on/off ramp accepting it but still a strong currency with real usage outside speculation made by a community of builders. Can be life saving for some high risks profiles and honestly is the complete opposite of the cryptocurrency market, I’m thankful it exists.

Monero is based though

As long as they don’t sell that to people as “easy money multiplier, invest you’ll become rich in weeks” I’m okay. Won’t buy though

I don’t remember the name but I remember seen some info about a Emerald remake as a Cobblemon server.

The most illegal ROMHack according to Big N

I never tried CachyOS but I know it’s popular.

Well if you’re daily driving Kubuntu and wants an Arch-based distro go for it, CachyOS is really popular these days.

I think it made sense for Valve to go with Arch for a custom Hardware with console-like experience cuz they can tweak it and optimize it in depth but for a desktop PC you won’t have big difference from a gaming perspective.

I’m not 100% sure about this but I think you could copy/backup the file that create all the non-steam link and metadata if you make the switch to another distro. But you’ll have to do some research I guess.

Doesn’t change the fact that you will have a great experience from any of these distro when it comes to gaming. Most of the changes in UX come from the Desktop Environment (KDE Plasma, GNOME, Cinnamon, XFCE, etc…). Other difference are packages availablility but beside Steam which is on most distro package you will probably use Flatpaks anyway. Also you should be able to swap distro without loosing files and games.

So beside some minor changes you won’t notice much else. If it’s your first time on Linux I would suggest you Bazzite (or Mint).

Nobara isn’t Arch-based but Fedora-based like bazzite. And Glorious Eggroll isn’t behind Proton but a popular fork of it (he does contribute to main Proton from Valve too I think)

Honestly every distro will do the work and you won’t find your perfect distro on the first hop, you probably never will. Just pick one that have good track record, a big userbase for help on forums if something goes wrong.

Education + Up to date and highly popular distro with tons of contributors + good track record regarding security

I’m pretty sure you’re stuck with Garmin (or AsteroidOS but this isn’t really an option) when it comes to smartwatch on degoogled Android phones.

In most Web3 blockchains ZeroKnowledgeProof aren’t proof. They often only have the succinctness of the proof and this is enough for the marketing team.

Also there is many things valuable in modern cryptography thanks to Bitcoin and other chains, blockchain and crypto are buzzwords for sure but that doesn’t mean that i’s 100% BS.

We had local “AI” features for years, it’s just a glorify marketing term nowadays. Sure the advance made in LLM has changed the space but there was “AI” app on F-Droid for years before ChatGPT was public for exemple TIDY. I guess that if it uses an external non-free service it will be flag but if it’s 100% local and FOSS why complaining about tech people develop under free licences?

Please vote against… please

Still an issue ?

I agree, but it’s the reality I observe with my friends. I tell them it’s like e-mail it does not matter where you sign in you can access the whole federation from pretty much every instance. They still asks me if X or Z instance is great etc…
