It would be largely fine, but be careful. Being immutable, a lot of things that you would expect will work differently or not at all. I would not recommend it, but if you’re in for a challenge, it’s not bad.

Open source is a license. What you’re referring to is “source-available.” You can’t legally fork, redistribute, or contribute to it.

On GNOME, I like BlackBox, though Prompt looks promising once it’s stable.

I like bottom right the most, but it does’t really feel like a default wallpaper as much as top left. Middle right feels like part of a tiling WM with custom colors more than a default for a DE.

Yeah, MacOS wasn’t originally intended for x86 CPUs.

He’s pretty much the quintessential QA tester. He wants to do things his way, regardless of whether or not the OS wants him to do that. He’s usually skilled enough to fix anything he messes up, but he doesn’t know enough about Linux to do that, so he ends up breaking things. I feel like most people have a better experience than he did, but his technique uncovered a ton of bugs and usability issues that significantly improved the Linux desktop to have fixed.

Tiling addons. I like having a full DE, but I also want tiling, so Pop!_Shell on GNOME and Polonium on KDE are invaluable (and yes, COSMIC looks really promising).

Great answer. People frequently think that Android phones work just like desktops, but they are very different.

Have you installed a custom ROM on it? If not, you definitely don’t have the skills for this. If so, have you built your own ROM for it? If not, do that so you learn how it works in a predictable environment. Then port something existing to it, like UBPorts. Only after you do all of that and probably a lot more should you attempt to effectively develop your own distro on hostile hardware.

VanillaOS and BlendOS also use containers to install apps, just like Fedora Silverblue. In fact, it’s easier to install native packages on Silverblue than it is on VanillaOS. Just set your terminal to start a container by default.

I’ve been using Linux for ten years, and I’ve never done that. It’s not really a part of the Linux experience anymore.

I do not like it, Sam I Am.

I thought it was last Thursday.

While the community is often what is providing the information, one person or group is the one creating and distributing the Discord server. You can’t have an entire community create a Discord server; one person has to do that, and it’s most often the project maintainers. I was saying that the people creating the Discord servers should also create Matrix spaces and bridge the two together.

Maintainers. The people that make the project.

Sorry. What I meant was that the project maintainers should do that, so the Discord users can use Discord but Matrix is still the main option.

All you have to do is bridge the two together and have the Matrix one shown more prominently.

It’s totally valid in most cases. It’s technically only supposed to be used for a question, but language is based on how it’s most commonly used, with those “rules” only applying in extremely formal situations. With the prevalence of informal text-based communication, many people use it to indicate being unsure, like how you used it. I just wanted to continue the chain of grammar corrections (which is why I used the wrong “its”/“it’s” at one point). Also, you were right about the quotes.

A question mark does not fit the sentence, which is a statement (“they should.” rather than “should they?”). While question marks are commonly used to demonstrate a rising tone at the end of a sentence, its not considered correct for formal writing.
