That’s what I think too. And then I see “Their systems are built into everything around us”, which basically only applies to PCs and laptops. What is built into pretty much everything around us is GnuLinux.

Spoken like a true rebel. My respects.

After so many dislikes, any moderately smart person would start introspecting in where they went wrong.

Of course we do. We’re not animals.

Google enshitifying things? Who would have thought? Seriously, it’s as if they want to test how far they can go upsetting users. There’s got to be some (a lot?) of that, for sure.

Same here. Best part is that they even have non-Netflix media in that tier. Love it.

Awesome. Thanks.

You have plenty of options. I use Unraid because I bought it before it became a subscription. But I have a friend running Fedora server with Cockpit and running everything from docker containers. The options are endless. ProxMox is a great choice.

Exactly. In the case of foldable phones, that it adapts from the external screen to the internal when opening the phone. The same holds true for the opposite action (closing the phone).

For Android, Davx5 plus JTX board, and you’re set. Just use the contacts, calendar, tasks and journals apps you feel comfortable with. I use Etar calendar, for example.

I just use Syncthing with versioning, and that’s how I manage all my files and their versions.

That alone is a document management and file versioning system without the overkill of Nextcloud (which is debatable).

Jellyfin. I’ve been waiting for Plex to do this for years. Enshitification is everywhere.

The only thing that comes to mind is dynamic formatting because of foldable devices. My wife has one and that’s her main complain with almost everything on that phone.

You asked for a podcast client, so here’s AntennaPod.

I have it on auto backup and share the backup with all my other devices over Syncthing.

No need to self-host anything.

Any distros with Plasma or Cinnamon as it’s DE will do the trick. Linux Mint is a good starting choice.

In my case, I tinker quite a bit when I’m bored, and immutable distros, as well as atomic distros, raise barriers that I’d rather not have to jump over to have my fill of tinkering.

This started happening to my wife and me in 2 separate AMD computers about 3 months ago on Fedora 41,for no apparent reason.

I ended up switching to PopOS and my wife went back to Windows (she was dual booting).

We both came back to Fedora as soon as 42 was live, and have had no issues (yet).

We both use Fedora Workstation on Mutter, not i3, so could have been a different situation.

I’m not French, never been to France, but this is a little step in the right direction. We should be happy and celebrate every one of these little steps. If nothing else, this makes some noise and starts turning heads towards more privacy friendly software.

Thanks for this. I wish more of us posted resources like this one more often.

Thanks so much. This is really in-depths.
