Enjoy the difference

This is crazy good! It looks so much like the real thing

Yes, exactly My bad, you meant the Lemmy post, didn’t notice that, now I get what is happening

This is old news though? Never mind

Performance is a little lacking though, on the other hand it is very very featureful, it certainly has that going for it.
For when I need the speed more I enjoy using Olive a lot

What does it do with it then […] is an orthogonal question.

Hm, ok if we take the word “distribution” for it lexical meaning then maybe, although wouldn’t that be “distributor”?
In this field “distribution” is the set of things that constitute the software package, by extension, in the case of free software, it is more a synonym of “flavor” since anyone can redistribute with their own changes added on top. You wouldn’t call a supermarket a Cocacola distribution, it’s a distributor, but the drinks themselves are the distributions (tho in my mind “distributed” sounds more fitting at this point).
If having a system of OS and server, both property of one maker, where the server distributes a form of an OS x (even just the source code) and the client OS can download those files, make the OS a distribution of x, then I can set up a computer with e.g. OpenBSD (with my own modifications to make it mine) that downloads an Ubuntu ISO from my server, then I load up that ISO into a virtual machine and now I magically turned OpenBSD into an Ubuntu distribution??

Windows

Uhhh, well I’d say it’s more like a hypervisor if we’re really pushing it with WSL

Finally someone that is being objective here!
If I had to suggest a browser to a non techie person I’d definitely tell them to use Brave since it’s the best middle ground between full privacy to the point of clunkiness and, well… Chrome.
It is still a little invasive by shoving features/ads in your face (wallet, videoconferencing web app, sponsored backgrounds, etc.), but they’re less armful than other options and easier to turn off than slightly obscure about:config settings that break the experience of a non privacy concious user

Bro didn’t know that he was about to post a timeless banger 2 years ago

I’ve never thought about this, but now that you bring it to my attention I think I’d go with a combination of mineral-flower, so for example “tourmaline-calendula”.
Also to automate that, I saw that there is this neat website perchance.org that you can use to construct random word generators, I’m wondering if there’s an open source alternative though, that would be great

If Flatpak doesn’t cover your needs you can already use Distrobox on your current distro for that purpose, you’d make an Ubuntu container and add the PPAs to it, if/when it breaks your system will still remain intact

Yeah, actually I don’t know how I ended up responding to you, I have since deleted that comment, I meant it for the OP.
Aside from that, when you’re as experienced as you, you generally don’t end up breaking your system anyway, if one really wanted I think the real good thing to do regardless of distro would be using one of the few packaging solutions that are siloed from the rest system

Dots?

I usually end up in need of redoing a fresh install until it breaks up again.

That’s common when you start adding random PPAs, running some commands without understanding (we all do 👀) and whatnot, but you can save yourself from reinstalling over and over by using an immutable distribution so at any point you will know what changed in your system and if it breaks you can just roll back to the previous working point and either fix your mistake or wait for a fix from upstream when an issue happens there (this year there were a few kinda major hiccups on Fedora for example).
I suggest you try one of the Fedora immutable spins (Silverblue, Kinoite, Sericea) or Vanilla OS, though I would hold off from it until Orchid comes out.
If you want to go all in you can use NixOS, but it takes a lot of reading

When I try to fiddle with them they just start producing a hellish noise that breaks my ears in a certain configuration, I had that happen both on Jabra earbuds and Soundcore headphones, luckily the latter has a wire option as well so that’s a relief

Thanks, it looks great!

Cool! What editor is it on the second screenshot?

Yeah, I think so, sometimes a foundation is also established to ensure that things don’t take a corporate turn

It still qualifies as community driven since they have no financial incentive to keep maintaining their version of the distribution, but they would certainly be affected by the upstream messing with how the source is provided. What they could ultimately do would be “hard forking”, i.e. taking the available state of the original project and keep developing their own version on top without ever keeping in sync with, say, Ubuntu anymore. Instead they will become their own thing that at some point will have strayed from the original significantly enough to be fundamentally different in their packages, configurations, repositories, etc.
