I’ve been using it (and its predecessor OpenOffice) for the last decade and a half, and I haven’t looked back. It does literally everything I need it to do and then some. One of the best examples of just how good open source software can be.
This is especially true for the aspects of LibreOffice that she’s going to use most.
There are boatloads of things that we don’t have tangible, irrefutable evidence for, yet we believe in. It’s called faith. You have faith in things, you just don’t want to admit it. And just because I have faith in things that you don’t doesn’t mean that I don’t have the right to have that faith.
Yes, and that’s fine: they can compile in their preferred format and if people want a different one, then the “package it yourself” argument makes sense.
My terminal is partially transparent so that definitely doesn’t work for me lol
I don’t care for this mentality. I understand constant questions must get old for developers/contributors but the mentality that people should compile from the source is not conducive to growing FOSS. It is, however, potentially conducive to laziness from the devs. “Eh, why should I spend time releasing compiled builds? Let the plebs compile themselves.”
Did you seriously just do the Ackchyually meme?
All Scripture is God-breathed. Take it up with Him.
Again, read the Bible. That’s all I’ll say because it’s obvious to me that you’ve probably only read scraps through third parties within the context of progressive “Christianity”.
Read the Bible. Even the apostle Paul reiterates that it’s sinful.
As I said before, it all comes down to the “homophobia” argument. No good reasons, just a hatred of its founder. Pretty sad, if you ask me.
What’s wrong is that we’re on the Fediverse and many here write off Brave because the founder is “homophobic” because he’s a conservative Christian. Sure, they make up all sorts of shallow justifications like “it’s a crypto scam” but it definitely boils down to the “homophobic” whining.
I hope to see more distros do this. Strongly considering buying a Pro license just to support them for doing the right thing. Screw Mozilla.
Nice, I once modeled my phone aesthetic after EndeavourOS’ default Plasma look. Some Linux DEs have some very nice aesthetics to them, especially when distros make their own custom default (eg. Garuda Dr460nized).
Immutable seems like a good idea and it is for security or for a console-like PC but for any sort of intermediate or advanced user, it’s not such a good idea.
Probably Plasma because it’s familiar and you’re able to customize it extensively over time.
Love to see it. I haven’t used MS Office in well over a decade at this point and I have no plans to go back. LibreOffice is fantastic, suits all my needs, doesn’t pack itself with bloat and it respects my freedom and privacy. What more can I want from an office suite?
Mint would probably be the safest bet. You could also take a look at Manjaro XFCE, though Manjaro is a bit more advanced than what it sounds like you’re looking for. There’s also Zorin OS with their “lite” version which runs a modified XFCE that would probably work for your needs.
However, if you go for Mint, I’d definitely go for XFCE. I’ve never used labwc myself and I’m more of a Plasma guy, but XFCE is, in my own experience, a very good DE for a low-spec system. With the increasing spread of Wayland, I wouldn’t be shocked to see Wayland support on XFCE in the future. Cinnamon actually has an experimental Wayland version and it’s not as resource-heavy as some might think I have a 2012 laptop running Mint Cinnamon and it runs surprisingly well on that system. Then again, if you’re just going for a minimalist installation, it’s not necessary.
Yes, because using a web browser is bigotry 😂 It’s cool if you don’t like it but at least have legitimate reasons for not liking it.
Those reasons are all pretty goofy in my book. I use Brave on a daily basis on all my PCs. Only browser out there that offers both good privacy and actual usability. Plus, the first issue in the article is literally a nonissue for me and I actually personally really like the leadership at the company.
Bloated? How so?
