Yes, but that's because of the development for the cosmic desktop. After they finish it supposedly this summer it will follow Ubuntu again.

PopOS has the best support for Nvidia. It's basically plug-and-play. Mine is the RTX 3080.

Explaination pls.

Amateur. At a previous job, I always needed to tell the interns the same thing I need to apparently tell you. Eating the worms in the salad is completely optional.

It's a cult.

Everything is flawed, there is no silver bullet. But again, it's still a massive improvement over what we had previously.

Well, that's the neat part. We don't need to do that because what Flatpak does, doesn't matter for them. People can just install Flatpak in their system and they have access to everything. I realise for system components it's a different story, but that's not the use case, it's for applications.

Edit: typo.

And universal compatability. One repo, for all distros. That's a big plus too!

Amen. I remember having to frequently reinstall the system to keep it performant. Thanks windows rot.

You don't need servers to have freedom in your computing, just do things locally on your computer. Even phones are surprisingly capable. For a great starting point, I'd recommend F-Droid (AppStore) in GrapheneOS (Android minus the Google viruses), Super easy to set up, and it gets you everything you need. Well, at least for me. There is also a good website called alternativeto.net, If you're searching for software on a normal computer.

Edit: Plus, if you use Aurora (google play store access programme) with your Google ID, you have access to every paid program on your phone. Also, if you're an EU citizen, they can't ban you because they have been ruled a gatekeeper thanks to the DSA and DMA. MicroG, as far as I've read about it, since I don't use it, is only needed for Google Apps, so if you don't use them, why bother?

If you're living in the European Union, they can't, because of the DSA and DMA.

Everyone has been there, including you and me. How is our community supposed to grow if they constantly get chastised for mistakes of the past? If we value freedom in computing, shouldn't we help others get there as well, instead of being purists about it?
