Gotta keep that grift going

Alternative to Silverblue is Bluefin, which is Silverblue repackaged with QoL improvements. I've been using it for a while now and like it in a set it and forget it kind of way.

Welcome to distro hopping! If at some point in the future you want to try another out but don't want to start from scratch, there are ways to demo them to get a feel and see if it's something you'd like to take the effort to wipe and install.

No escape, no control, no option.

And as someone who never closes tabs, I love their tab management, from organization to memory.

In sane times, yes. But US Marshals are a part of the Dept of Justice, which answers to the Executive. So I'll let you guess how that would play out if they were ordered to arrest Trump or anyone else in his circle.

That still feels like too much thought/reasoning for him. I could see some other idiot connecting those dots and convincing Trump it was his idea. Or just Putin trying to crash the economy.

Yeah, I'm more or less just using NC for a cloud storage with WebDAV. I don't really need all the other bits. So if NC were modular in that you could install or not the core pieces, that would be great.

That was what I'm using. With Protonmail they bought SimpleLogin and it was more or less the same.

My email comes with masked email options, so if I need an email I just hit create and it generates one that forwards to/from my account. Just as easy to block or delete them.

I know, right? There are some people that just are mentally broken in some irreparable way, but that's a small percentage. The rest, it's just so hard to imagine what led them here. And it's sad that it's come to this.

Yeah, that was my first thought that he really hadn't because unless he micro-microdosed or just said he did to be "cool", which is on brand for him, there's no way he did hallucinogins and still came out the other side like that.

If it makes you feel any better it sort of is Fedora. Fedora has both original and atomic flavors. Someone took the atomic flavor of Fedora (which comes as a blank slate) and added in some quality of life changes. Nothing permanent, just tweaking some settings and preinstalling some programs. And then called it as Aurora.

And the only difference between Aurora and Bluefin is KDE (very customizable and Windows like) vs Gnome (customizable through widgets, but not enough if you're a power tweaker and more of a Mac style desktop environments). And Bazzite is the same, but gamer focused (I installed it on my steamdeck).

Yeah, I love NC but boy is it a pain. If there were a similar but less bulky, less clunky option that wasn't a pain to maintain, I'd be all over that.

Yeah, seconded on Tailscale. I love how easy it is to get working. Only fear is the recent announcement of venture funding and future enshitification, but right now it's amazing.

Thanks for linking the peertube mirror!

Yeah, I didn't want to be not supportive of your choice of distros, but my immediate thought was not Ubuntu... I use it headless for some homelab servers, but nowadays as far as desktops go, Ubuntu is not it.

Someone below mentioned Aurora, Bazzite's sister. I currently use Bluefin, which is another of Bazzite's sisters, also on Framework, and it has been pretty set it and forget it. They're all "atomic" desktops in that it's hard to be able change the underlaying important parts of your computer, while you have free reign on all the bits that aren't important to keep the lights on. Updates happen frequently, but don't touch your files on top, so it's always the latest, and if something does break, you can easily boot up into the last image you were on.

If you're not looking to tweak your computer too much and just want it to run, I'd recommend Aurora or Bluefin depending on your desktop preferences.

Did you actually? Or are you carrying that over from reddit? 'Cause I actually have a similar one to that 😅

I read about Tailscale securing funding and also was scared enshitification would ensue. I really hope their promise to keep non-enterprise as it is and not claw it back is true. I am way too relient on that now 🫤

I vote with them, because there's no other choice, but if Democrats were given a magic lamp with three wishes, they'd negotiate it down to one and then wish for something they thought the republicans would like.
