Happy birthday and congratulations on creating the best desktop environment.

It used to be so good back then but everything else has got better while Ubuntu has got worse

So basically, people are stupid?

It’s enterprise design that sucks, often it’s written in Java - Hello World

I agree, but it’s really not scary

That’s not scary. The trick when dealing with that kind of review is to parse out the technical and not take the rest personally, which maybe takes a certain kind of personality.

Why is he scary?

Various Internet strangers (who I trust implicitly) have said that it’s so.

How’s it’s hardware support GNU Trisequel was bad in that regard

NixOS. A big learning curve but replicable.

Windows -> Single Window Mode

Yeah, I know. If I was in a sensible mood this AM, I probably wouldn’t have started this chain. But if you look back to my first comment, I did say it was probably a coincidence.

As the article says, only when it blew up. But you’re right, the author doesn’t look good either.

More honestly, I enjoy a good conspiracy theory with my coffee.

It’s probably a coincidence that shortly after Mozilla acquires an ad company, they “accidentally” remove an ad blocker.

Why wait. Start switching now.

Probably the easiest way to get a backup is backintime and an external disk. Although if you really care about your data you should use a 3-2-1 strategy.

It was still malicious code. A different attack for sure, but no less devastating for the victims.

However, manjaro places the button to enable it right next to enabling snaps and flatpaks. Both of which are perfectly safe to install if not safer than average packages.

The snap store has already been used to distribute malware, one guy lost a lot of money in crypto, and I’m sure it wasn’t an isolated incident. I think it would be naive to think flathub isn’t being targeted in the same way. Same advice as the aur, be cautious.

SLE is a fork of factory. Leap is based on SLES with community additions, it’s why SUSE changing to ALP and dropping desktop support in the new version was such a big thing for the future of Leap.
