Should anyone care what a lying, youtube-drama scumbag thinks of Linux? I think no.

Chrome specifically, or derivatives as well?

Helium I believe modified their code to allow ublock origin to work. Vivaldi has their own ad blocker iirc.

But if it’s just Chrome and not derivatives, then I don’t know.

Then it would be in two places, both your downloads directory (I assume that’s where you ran it from originally) and the Applications folder where the AppManager has “installed” it.

If you want to backup a copy of it just go to the Applications folder and copy it from there.

I’ve never done those things but I still switch as quickly as I feel like

The entire gnome DE as a dependency? I have no idea. What kind of software is doing that aside from the gnome desktop anyway?

Zorin has Play on Linux by default? Hasn’t that project been dead for 5 years? Why are they still shipping it out of the box?

“Accidentally” install Gnome?

Calling someone a degenerate is their way of saying you have low/no morals etc.  Is a lame insult used by people who think they have some high ground over you.

Like I’d imagine some fundamentalist Christian using it about skaters back in the 90s.

I’m not sure why it would be used to comment on disability.

Wherever I see MKULTRA I immediately think ‘Mortal Kombat Ultra’

Our shower drains into the grey water tank and then to our fruit tree irrigation line, so… Of course yes.

It used to be called Serpent OS but Ikey thought the name was a bit silly/immature if I remember correctly

How about don’t implement it and when California realises they need computers then they might change their mind?

Non-free codecs out of the box

I think Linux mint Debian edition is cool if you want to use Cinnamon, but otherwise Debian makes sense.

A while ago I tried out cachyos since it was the big new thing. I can’t remember what the update was, but I recall Pac-Man threw up a warning to say “Manual intervention required etc etc etc” rather than updating.

I might be remembering it wrong.

(RIP Wauz) The last song my friend Wauz wrote before he died. His band finished recording it after he passed. The music video especially gets me recognising so many faces.

A second is really hard to pick though. There’s so many great kids shows from that time, if I picked one it would just be at random. Maybe Rocko’s Modern Life, because the absurdity of it stands out more than many others.

That’s easy; because Ikey Doherty wanted to make one.

He abandoned Solus years ago as the project became something he didn’t enjoy anymore, and wanted to start a fresh project closer to his philosophy of engineering everything.

When a person starts a new project it’s usually because they want to.

So the key here is, in classic Ikey style, they want to use/develop all their own tools. engineer everything themselves to be exactly what they want it to be. This is what suits them and Ikey has the chops to do this better than most.

He started this project about 5 years back as Serpent OS, rebranded it last year as he got to alpha release stages.

As others have s pointed out, it looks like as a relatively new user you’ve tried a whole lot of stuff meant for advanced users and managed to completely avoid the tried and trusted Linux mainstays that have been around forever. Like KDE, Gnome, xfce, and most user friendly distros like Linux mint.

Tiling WMs for example are best for people who want to spend weeks if not months working in their configs and dot files, and are privately designed for keyboard and not mouse use (hence the WM you identified as not having a button to close the window)

But I’m curious for you end up doing these things as a new user. Is there a lot of bad advice going on out there?

I was putting it out there as a suggestion for inexperienced Linux users to manage their appimages. Writing a desktop file won’t update your appimages or handily install them in a consistent location.

I believe if we imagine a Venn diagram, users of this software would have some overlap with users who’d prefer or require a gui tool.
