I’m really sorry but Joplin is not and will not ever be “objectively” better than Obsidian. SilverBullet is subjectively better than Obsidian though. Note taking is such a heavily opinionated matter that there’s no scope for objectivity there.
This is just a straight up lie. Flatpaks do share libraries, both as runtimes (as seen even in the screenshot here) and through deduplication between different runtimes and runtime versions. There’s usually very little bloat, if any, especially if you use Flatpaks a lot, which you probably should, given the huge number of advantages especially with proprietary apps.
There’s also deduplication across the different files. So you could even end up with less overall size over time if you use Flatpaks for everything.

Why would you want the app devs to make that? The whole problem with distro-specific packages is having to package for multiple formats and it’s a painstaking process that really isn’t worth any amount of time investment at all. If you’re an app developer, you’d much rather just make a universal package and hope that some distro package maintainer packages your app for their distro. That’s just basic common sense…
There is so much missing from Gnome that is present in most other DEs and even custom WM setups.
There are also plenty of features that gnome has that kde and other desktops and wms don’t have. It’s all about tradeoffs and what’s acceptable or necessary for you.
Worst case scenario is that you run just those commands in sh. I don’t see a problem really. I also like fish’s syntax, so it’s easy to trade for POSIX compatibility. If you really really must, you could also use an LLM to convert your bash script to fish.
Ever since switching to fish, I’ve been using the terminal more and more. It’s the most intuitive interface I can think of. Now to fix my neovim configuration…
XDG User dirs are cool, i agree. But that’s not really the problem here
Pretty much every distro offers an easy way to install nvidia drivers.
It’s the peripherals that really need drivers. I remember having to install digimend drivers for my friend’s graphics tablet for example. That said, it wasn’t supported well on Windows either and performed better on my Linux setup than on Windows once I did find out about the digimend drivers.
Driver troubles for peripherals aren’t uncommon in Windows either. Don’t get me started on printers. Somehow, printers and scanners have always been plug and play for me on Linux, contrary to what I often hear.
dconf editor is kinda like regedit for GNOME apps ig?
No, i think he means the idea that Linux is supposed to substitute Windows 1:1
Yes, we were talking about free upgrades i think
Only 10 and 11 have been free
What OS security updates are you doing from the terminal?
The pull down action does not work in the “Items for” autofill menu
BW does feel like a more bulletproof solution tbh. The Android app’s autofill is what I’m bothered by.
This for example, https://community.bitwarden.com/t/add-a-button-to-refresh-vault-in-ios-password-auto-fill-view/32989/9
And also the lack of a UI-based autofill (edit: in browser) means that it’s not possible to easily pick one among multiple logins for the same site.
He is probably talking about Fastmail since his other comments here are about Fastmail.
AppImage isn’t a good comparison for a lot of different reasons and I think enough people have summarised that on the internet by now.
