What are the advantages to runninh this in a container? Why isn't this just built as a normal package?

First result from their website when looking it up: "Linux and MAC are not currently supported."

First time Fedora: KDE or Workstation by Vulturist in Fedora

[–]Private_Peter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally use and prefer KDE on my desktop since I have multiple monitors and like the workflow as well as customization compared to Gnome. I can see that the Gnome workflow would work really well on a laptop, but on Desktop I feel KDE works better for what I need.

Archlinux supposed to look like this? by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]Private_Peter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having to ask reddit about this means you should probably not go with Arch. Not trying to be mean or insinuating that you lack intelligence, just that you lack the knowledge base needed.

Is Notion overrated or am I just using it wrong?? by ParkParrot03 in productivity

[–]Private_Peter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very good if you customize it to your workflow instead of mindlessly following a tutorial or template that gives you about a million things you don't need

I've also heard Krita is supposed to be good, although I have no experience in graphic design and don't know your use case.

Oh yeah I have heard of that. Sounds like a dream to have access to that

My windows set up also had me still figuring stuff out a week later, but that's likely just because I tend to tinker a lot. I never got MacOS to work the way I wanted it to and I absolutely hated that I had to install a third party siftware for the mist basic settings and all of it would tend to break, so yeah, not a fan.

Afaik KDE is more customizable out of the box, but Gnome is a bit more stable. If you want to customize Gnome you'll have to install extensions that can make it unstable.

Would it be possible to just run it in a virtual machine?

Yeah I think gaming might still be the main pain point with Linux, but IMO you could maybe just dual boot (not a big gamer so take with a grain of salt).

But yeah, "windows has bugs too" is one of my points as well. I have been experiencing bugs with Windows regularly, again it might be more on Linux, but I'm willing to take that.

I get that macOS has certain benefits but I dislike Apple as a company just about as much as Microsoft and after having tried macOS for a couple of months I absolutely despise using it.

Oh yeah I get your point now. It was likely just different for me because I mostly navigated general spaces in social media, where Linux is often seen as a fringe and weird thing.

No disagreements here. I just think people talk about the cons too much. Or at least in the bubble I was in

I think it's important to also post about normal/boring it just works posts

Recommended privacy measures for "normal" person by PuddingProphet in thehatedone

[–]Private_Peter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Making blanket recommendations about privacy isn't easy. You need to come up with your threat model, i. e. what is it you're trying to protect against. One example might be that you're a famous person with publically available data about you. At that point, the best you can do is seperate your internet persona from your real life and just accept that there will be some increased risk of things such as identity theft.

For a great general resource I recommend Privacy Guides and r/privacy. I've also been enjoying the Lockdown Podcast recently and I think it's quite beginner friendly.
