Absolutely yes. Obviously having clear guides and help is good to narrow those choices down, but if we go beyond the basic example of Linux distros, just check out the phone market. There are hundreds of new choices each year, without counting the ones from previous years. It’s absolutely impossible to get a good deal without tons of research or luck.
Had to deal with that experience personally these last couple of days, after years of not following the smartphone consumerism hype machine.
With Fedora 36 isn’t anymore true you can just turn on the switch for third party libraries and than you have RPM Fusion also enabled
False. Just like F35, all it enables is the “Fedora third-party repos”, which include Google Chrome’s and PyCharm’s repos, as well as Steam and NVIDIA Driver filtered RPM Fusion and filtered Flathub.
You still need to use the terminal to enable RPMFusion and there’s nothing the Fedora team can legally do currently to make it available to users in an easier way without putting themselves to some level of risk.

We really need to teach children self-defense
Yes, but that by itself doesn’t end bullying, because bullying isn’t just physical assault. I’ve been through it myself for three years, during a time where bullying was juuuuuuust starting to come to the public discourse, but not taken seriously enough.
Of course there was physical assault involved, but also in a lot of other ways, like mean comments and gossips, being excluded from everything related to your colleagues, humiliation in many ways as well, like mean nicknames and making fun of the things you like or pulling pranks.
And also it usually isn’t an individual thing, it also depends a lot on the other people around the victim “looking the other way”, which happened a lot with me, with the point of other classmates acting as an alibi for the bullies and trying to gaslight me.
There’s not a lot that can be done about those if there isn’t an actual effort from the school.
“The default is not attractive but there are some that are very attractive.”
And that’s precisely why most people will be turned off by it. I’m not saying that we shouldn’t use it because of a lack of a good UI, I’m saying that recommending it to people while it doesn’t offer a good default experience for the average user is certain to end in either confusion or disappointment for those people, which will probably end back to Google or DDG after giving it a shot and finding it ugly to look at.
The worst part is the work is all there. The new simple theme looks amazing, it just needs to be the default for most instances and maybe having a better logo and that’s it. That’s all you need.
searX is that good.
Decided to try Fedora for the first time after a year and a half of using Linux, having hopped through quite a bunch of distros (Pop to Manjaro to Garuda to Arch, where I spent most of my time), and man… I don’t think I’ll switch distros soon.
Even had a chance to do so when I accidentaly “broke” my system (which I later found out it was literally due to my .bash_profile having some conflicting stuff), but every single distro I tried after it never felt quite the same:
- No SELinux on Arch without using a lot of AUR versions of essential packages;
- No pipewire or BTRFS on both Pop and Ubuntu without having to do a lot of stuff manually, and it uses an older version of GNOME and apparmor instead of SELinux, which I haven’t learned how to create profiles for;
Even the pain points I had with Fedora are being dealt with, little by little:
- FFmpeg will be part of the main repos with F36 (although a little gimped due to H.264 patents);
- The secure boot patches to kmodtool and akmods will come with F36, which means secure boot can still be enabled even with custom kernel modules if you create and enroll your own keys, which is easy enough to do;
- Waydroid has a compatible COPR repo now, without the need for a custom kernel, which I hope gets in the main repos in the future;
The only pain point I have left is having a working and compatible version of Timeshift in the distros without having to do a manual install or a proper GUI to snapper.
I love how people simply decided that he was complaining when he talked about that.
He literally said that that’s how he found out Manjaro uses a different package manager. Before that, he didn’t understand that different distros use different package managers. It’s wasn’t a complaint, it was him talking about his learning process.
I personally went with paulgo.io just because of the high quality ranking in searXNG lists the really clean UI.
UI/UX is currently the Aquilles’ heel for searXNG and I really want to see it improve.
Oh, I had no idea it existed, I stopped using searX around that time.
I admit some instances have a design that looks MUCH better than before, but it’s still not good enough for the general public, since most larger instances still use searX instead of searXNG and not all instances have a nice looking interface still.
That said, I’ll give one of the instances a shot as my main search engine.
Right? We tend to overlook a lot of the problems with Steam due to the respect they got with all their efforts into improving Linux in general, but if you look at it it’s pretty clear that the app was made 10 years ago and not improved much when it comes to proper Linux desktop standards ever since.

Great, now all it needs is an Android/iOS client to be one of the best cross-platform file transfer apps out there
