And when people tell you that you shouldn’t use aur helpers like yay to blindly install/upgrade aur packages, there’s a reason for it. Read the PKGBUILDs.

Fedora isn’t owned by Red Hat. It is a community-driven distro which Red Hat uses as a base for RHEL.
And you aren’t a paying customer. You can use Fedora without giving a single cent, or any telemetry data, to Red Hat.
Your stance is like saying “I’m not taking this free bread roll, because people I don’t like also eat bread rolls.”

I also recently switched back to Plasma cause Gnome somehow had issues managing open Windows. GTA Vice City launched and ran in Plasma but only gave a black screen in Gnome.
I tend to use Plasma on desktops and Gnome on laptops, and like them both.

If it’s a standard Debian install, look into /etc/network/interfaces .
If the wifi is configured in there, just replace the wifi interface name with that of your ethernet adapter, and delete the SSID and password lines.
But personally I’d use networkmanager and nmtui.

With Gnome you have no other choice.

That’s a really neat use case!
And a very clever implementation.

why?

I use KDE’s defaults.

Ctrl+R

It used to be my favorite DE by far.
Sucks that they are the last of the popular DEs to still not support Wayland, though.
I logged back into an X11 session recently for some testing. It now feels like going back to the stone age.

With 4GB RAM, a dedicated GPU and a new SSD, you’ll be able to install and run any Linux distro.
For someone who doesn’t want to deal with maintenance, I’d recommend Fedora Kinoite.
The desktop is similar to Windows, you install all programs through the app store, updates are installed when ready during the next reboot, when something goes wrong you can just reboot into the last working state, and the command line is almost entirely useless.

Cause we can no longer sit back and allow AI infiltration, AI indoctrination, AI subversion and the international AI conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

“Do one thing well” is what gives you software like sendmail, which requires several other programs to be actually useful, all of which have to be configured separately to work together, with wildly different syntax.

Every distro hopper eventually settles on either Arch or Debian.

Fuck you, you really made me check on my phone if all my text looks like this :(
(Your comment showed up “fine”, by the way)

Yes, I think I will. Not exclusively, of course. But starting Firefox in Wayland just takes a key combo and 5 seconds if needed.
