Honestly I fined macOS fine feature-wide but the defaults aren’t great for me so I tweaked many things and the annoying part of this is that I rely on multiple third party tools for what I consider should be native settings to change.

Maybe I don’t remember the defaults on macOS and assume my setup is macOS UX but it’s quite tweaked yeah. I find my config closer to Gnome than my memories of Windows. But I agree that Gnome is radially different and that’s what I’ve write in my comment.

Isn’t Cosmic based on Gnome? I have to try it, I was hyped when they announced it and now it’s realeased.

What about the DE used in ElementaryOS? ZorinOS Pro has some macOS themes and KDE is heavily flexible to replicate macOS’s UX.

• ZorinOS (especially for Windows users)
• LinuxMint (especially for Windows users)
• Fedora (if users want something radically different than Windows or macOS, it’s closer to macOS than Windows tho)
• Bazzite (Fedora-based atomic distro, if most of usage is gaming)

Yeah fuck the video codec mafia and all these proprietary shits like HDMI

Heroic has slow download from GoG and Epic on my machine too.

Yes, sorry I was too lazy to provide any sources here are a few (mostly in french sorry). It was called the 8 December case or “L’Affaire du 8 décembre” in french.

You forgot that french juges have used the facts that people installed Linux, Signal, /e/OS and GrapheneOS has evidence to charge them!

I think they were leftists activists charged for eco-terrorism but I don’t remember all the details but you should take a look. La Quadrature du Net has done some blogging and court things over this events of dark times.

• MangoHUD
• Heroic Game Launcher
• Ludusavi
• rdmodman
• Bottles
• Proton Plus and ProtonUp Qt
• GPU Screen Recorder

If you’re comming from Windows and don’t want to be too much distabilized ZorinOS is probably one of the best.

Other great choice are:

• bazzite
• Linux Mint
• Pop_OS!

However CAD on Linux is not great, there is some free tools but they are so much more limited than the proprietary windows suite of tools. Maybe WinBoat could make your software run good enough.

I mean you cannot fit Monero in the same bucket as the rest of the cryptocurrencies. No foundation, no company, no VCs, no pre-mined, CPU-based PoW, no major on/off ramp accepting it but still a strong currency with real usage outside speculation made by a community of builders. Can be life saving for some high risks profiles and honestly is the complete opposite of the cryptocurrency market, I’m thankful it exists.

Monero is based though

As long as they don’t sell that to people as “easy money multiplier, invest you’ll become rich in weeks” I’m okay. Won’t buy though

I’m pretty sure you’re stuck with Garmin (or AsteroidOS but this isn’t really an option) when it comes to smartwatch on degoogled Android phones.

In most Web3 blockchains ZeroKnowledgeProof aren’t proof. They often only have the succinctness of the proof and this is enough for the marketing team.

Also there is many things valuable in modern cryptography thanks to Bitcoin and other chains, blockchain and crypto are buzzwords for sure but that doesn’t mean that i’s 100% BS.

Oh thanks, I’ve learned something thanks to you. I knew there was a link between the two but didn’t know what.

Yeah Codeberg looks great and is both European and non-profit.

There is also Forgejo and Radicle that might be worth looking at!

Not a fork but a similar app that is supported is OuterTune

Exactly, that’s the community fork of SimpleMobileTools. However there is also Goodwy that have forked them in the name of Right Apps. Right Calendar, Right Gallery, Right Messages, Right Files and Right Contacts.

It’s the licence used for the code I guess.

You spend that bill at a shop which brings them to the bank at the end of the day where the serial is collected.

Have you ever been on a cash based society, banknotes don’t do bank - user - seller - bank route, sometimes it might happen okay but it’s not the norm, these are global, not precise tracking.

This can be crosscorrelated with information from a dozen other sources. That infomation will practically never be used to you advantage.

I agree on this, but cash have still stronger anonymity and privacy than most electronic payment methods. That’s why they want cash to disapear in favor of CBDCs and banking cards. That’s also why corrupted european deputee have big bags of cash at home lol.
