Based on the readme this basically brings some Kotlin null handling and immutability as an add-on to Java projects. For a fresh project I recommend Kotlin. For an existing project this might add some value.

As for immutability Java already has options for that like the final keyword or immutable collections.

Overall an interesting idea. NPEs are way too common in Java code. Even the original creator of null feels it was a mistake to begin with.

Not all built-in apps had that option but for everything else you can.

block them from accessing the Internet on non-GrapheneOS phones

This is an important feature in GrapheneOS. You can deny network access for any app.

Evolution is a Gnome software so you’ll probably need to install gnome-keyring.

I use session restore with my KDE and most windows end up back to the workspace they were. It’s somewhat annoying that not all go back to where they were but I’ve learned to live with it. May or may not have anything to do with kwin rules as I’ve not manually set anything.

You can always use virustotal if you want extra malware checks.

Have ran into the same problem at some. Try running btrfs balance on your drive. Both metadata and normal data. It won’t delete anything. On my phone so grabbed just q quick linking https://commandmasters.com/commands/btrfs-balance-linux/.You need to run it bit by bit (see the filters).

You answer your question yourself with

in fear of breaking something and having to reinstall (and losing something in the process)

Version upgrades are a big thing and unexpected things can happen. Would you be a happy user if the system auto updated to the next version and something truly broke? By forcing manual upgrade they can better inform users about possible unexpected things, and e.g. advice to do backups first. Thus users would be more prepared for this. Also version upgrades take a lot longer time than normal updates since it has update all packages, do other changes to the system etc.

Xrdp won’t work if there is already an active user session locally with the same user account that is trying to connect remotely.

I truly hate this. At work I’ve told everyone that if they just send a “hello” message it will be ignored. I have things to do other then going twenty rounds of “hello” before getting into the actual subject.

They didn’t change name. OpenOffice still exists. LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice.

Single applications yes by using X11 over ssh. Needs X11 server on windows side too.

Support your local European companies.

Maybe. Though I haven’t seen anything of that sort over the years. They’ve been around quite a while and long ago they removed all ads from their platform.

We do. It’s called Romeo. No nonsense. No AI. Just people. They listen to their users.

We don’t need this crap on Linux. Sleep is meant to be a low power mode where everything except ram is powered down, and you can pick up near instant where you left off. Not this kind of “sleep” where about everything is running like before. A desktop/laptop isn’t a mobile phone where this behavior is the standard.

I know others use Arabis(?) I think thats what it called.

You probably mean Anubis.

+1 for this.

People should stop using these ad and tracking apps disguised as some useful app.
