Ubuntu is even more aggressive with snaps. However it’s a ok package manager, I would not be very annoyed by it if I have to use

I mainly just want to know if it will eat all their RAM or something

Kinda the same as Flatpaks… Actually it’s not a big issue, once spare ram is money thrown away…

Let me ask you… Why would you do something like that? I mean, Arch is just a piece of software, why would you wanna be obsessed with or turn it your personality?

Don’t you have anything more meaninful to worry about?

Actually I never tried with Wine… It may be an alternative

You’re delusional, buddy

Well, I’m a psychologist and my entire college time I used Linux. Most of the times me and my friends used Google Docs instead of MS Office

In psychologist school you’ll be reading a lot, so you’ll need pdf reader, but that is easy in Linux. Maybe, but this is a big maybe, you’ll learn about statistics using a software, but we have Jamovi and JASP for that. If you’re into R or Python, that’s easier in Linux then Windows

If you really need to share documents with your friends using MS Office, LibreOffice may do the job for the content, but have in mind that if you’re in charge of formatting the document, noone else could do it. Otherwise, if other person is in charge, you’ll be better not try to format. Or just use Google Docs / Office 365 (online)

In my own experience, I had no issue using only Linux in my school time

Also, in my daily work as a psychologist, I have no issue with that as well

You cant

There is no official whatsapp app for Linux and all of the apps on the store rely on whatsapp web

Agreed. There is no point recommend Arch for beginners. You need to have some knowledge before using Arch!

Don’t get me wrong… Arch is a great system and it’s my distro of choice, however I’m on Linux for more then 10 years! For a completely beginner, easier distros, such Fedora and PopOS, should be the way to go.

In best scenario you’ll turn your Debian to SID. Worst case scenario you’ll break your system.

I do not suggest this operation unless you’re sure what you’re doing.

Alternatively you can install yt-dlp using snap or using Nix Package manager

Oh! That’s why the outage could demand long time to recover! Just delete a file takes so long!

I’m glad you said it!

Difference between open source software and closed source software:

1. CrowdStrike bad coding make Linux crashes -> sysadmin has control over the system and can rapidly fix the issue by disabling CrowdStrike module -> downtime is limited

2. CrowdStrike bad coding make Windows crashes -> sysadmin has limited control over the system and rely on Windows/CrowdStrike people to fix the issue -> the demand is too high cause the issue happened with many computers around the world at the same time -> huge downtime while few people on Microsoft and/or CrowdStrike fix the issue one by one manually

The last Windows version I used was Windows 7 I guess, but merely to play some games. In daily use, the last Windows version I used was Windows XP

You can configure wireguard to achieve this solution.

You can always enable mDNS/DNS-SD (aka zeroconf) protocol as well

Does any of these in https://alternativeto.net/software/pastebin/?license=opensource works for you?

Good for you that you like your XFCE environment

I would like to see how your desktop is, if you don’t mind

However, again, it’s personal preference

Agreed. I think it’s not about distros we should have pay attention, but desktop environments.

And about “most appealing” DE I think it’s subjective. Surely KDE has the most flexible structure and may be exactly what you want, but Gnome is also appealing for some people (myself included).

Again, there is no right or wrong, just personal preferences

Crypto is scam.

I don’t hate. It’s just a piece of software. I just use Linux because I like the privacy and I’m a tech savvy person

I don’t wanna learn Windows whatsoever, cause I can do everything I need on Linux and it serves me well

Creating a new profile, as suggested, seems to solve the issue for my main profile. That’s interesting, cause I think it shouldn’t solve the issue at all, once I did not change anything at the main profile

Yes, it does happen in Troubleshoot Mode. And based on the article you sent, it does mean it’s a Firefox issue, not a extension one

I didn’t even know that there was a troubleshoot mode. I’ll try and come back here
