This one broke zigbee2mqtt for me but I’m not sure why. I rolled back for now.

Sorry what did you mean by “Helium is a fork, so they can keep compatibility going forward”? A fork of what?

Is there a list of sources this pulls from?

So it’s not technically Chromium anymore? It’s a form of Chromium?

It was my understanding that moving forward full fat UBO would not work on any modern Chromium browser, but I’m admittedly not enough of an expert to know better.

It’s Chromium based, doesn’t that mean uBlock isn’t going to work as well?

I’ve never woken up the next morning regretting greasy food

+1 for Bookstack. Very simple and easy to learn.

They pretty much just remove you from all those different people finder websites. Not the data brokers that Meta (etc) sell to/from.

It’s still beneficial if you can afford it, but more likely to protect you from targeted scams or stalkers etc. than anything Big Tech.

Immutability just means the system files can’t be edited easily. Basically every time you update you’re updating the entire OS all at once. Which is a good way to keep things stable while also modern!

Unless there’s an application not available via Appimage or Flatpak (“app store”), most users will never even come up against the immutability aspect.

Are you kidding? It’s excellent as an everyday desktop! It is basically Fedora Kinoite with a bunch of quality of life stuff for gaming.

Very cool!

Don’t get me wrong I love what Zorin is doing but I still think Bazzite is going to be much more “set it and forge it” for gaming than Zorin.

You must be thinking of something else, they just pushed an update last week and are arguably rapidly becoming the closest thing Linux has ever been to mainstream. I just saw that my Life in Gaming (a channel about console gaming) just made a video about it.

Yeah I agree, Mint used to be my recommendation (and it’s a good choice for sure) but now I say Bazzite or Kinoite (for a newbie used to Windows) because KDE Plasma is better than Windows and the immutability adds another layer of stability.

Yeah Bazzite is excellent all around. It’s usually what I recommend to anyone with Nvidia.

Mint is for sure an excellent option but I recommend Fedora Kinoite (or Bazzite) these days for someone used to Windows because their immutability makes them even more solid and harder to break.

Zorin is great for a grandma, but for someone who knows computers I think it’s too simple.

Fedora Kinoite or Bazzite (which is based on Fedora Kinoite).

Both are “immutable” which all you need to know means they are essentially impossible to meaningfully break.

Both use the KDE interface which is very similar to Windows and very tweak-able.

They’re very similar, but Bazzite is the one to go with if you do a lot of gaming. It’s basically the Steam Deck OS plus a little more. I’ve tested Bazzite with an Nvidia card and had no issues whatsoever and performance was nearly identical to what I was getting with Windows.
