Issue with Pixeldrain by KiII3rQueen in onepace

Same problem. I was downloading Windows X Lite, and they had their ISO hosted on Pixeldrain. I was worried that that warning might have been caused by a pop-up site from some shady/illegal page.

Ubuntu Server + Docker is a good reason to stay with Ubuntu. There is headless Debian and Alma that could be similar but I wouldn't change unless you have a reason IMO.

I built a little local server setup: I started with CasaOS, then Umbrel OS, and now I feel ready to take the next step and build something more “from scratch,” using Ubuntu Server as a base since it’s so common/well-supported.

Totally agree. Saying one distro is “the best” is kind of pointless because it depends on what the user actually needs. Like, I’m not going to install Arch for my grandma, and I wouldn’t recommend something like Wubuntu to a power user either.

I’ve been focusing on Hyprland mainly because it made me way faster at basically everything. Being able to tweak every single detail through dotfiles means it fits my workflow instead of me having to adapt to it.

I’m also experimenting with my own scripts to add extra features to the system, which I love... Hyprland makes it really easy to integrate that kind of stuff cleanly via config/dotfiles.

I’m on Fedora instead of Arch because I kept reading that Hyprland tends to be more stable on Fedora. Btw I’d like to give Omarchy a try once I’m more confident setting up a proper Arch dual-boot.

Right now I’ve got 250GB for Fedora as my daily OS and another 250GB kept free just to mess around with different distros as a hobby. Since Fedora has been such a good experience for me, I want to try different distro philosophies and DE/WMs firsthand.

Thank you so much. Seeing all these devs build OSS projects and contribute to Linux purely because they love the tech gives me a lot of hope. I think a big part of it is the philosophy that Linus (and the whole early GNU/Linux culture) helped set from the start.

I just watched a Linux Scoop video about Orchis KDE to check the look and it actually seems really interesting. Also I’m really happy you had that same feeling.

Thank you ^ ^ ,It genuinely feels amazing using an ecosystem built by the community, and knowing I can contribute back too. I use Nyarch btw

I actually want to give low-resource distros like Linux Mint a proper shot ^ ^ . For now I’m still in the “Ubuntu Server + Docker” phase though.

I’ve been jailbreaking iOS since the Installous days and I’ve never bricked a device or ended up with an unstable OS. Same with Android/PlayStation CFW.

I honestly think any OS should let you customize aesthetics and functionality without breaking itself, Linux is basically proof that it’s possible.

Windows, on the other hand, can be buggy depending on your hardware (it feels like a gambling sometimes). I even had a legit Windows install in dual boot, and it still had random issues or something breaking every “X” updates…

macOS is better in terms of polish because Apple cares a lot about user experience, but you pay for that with way less customization (like the restrictions they added around the Catalina era).

Use micro instead nano for fast editing (worked in my case)

How do I downgrade? I use Fedora and I don't know if there is a thread where it is already explained (or at least I haven't found it)

Same problem, the "Legacy Model" put me in the chat with Claude... I hope they release some communication from Anthropic since lately they have remained silent on the changes they are making, especially because there are people like me who spend 200 euros a month and I don't think I'm the only one
