I always thought that @Bro was the ânonsenseâ approach !!! 
I am hoping system76 has good luck on their projects. they talk the talk, but also seem to be trying to walk the walk !
Nitrux seems cool, but would never be a distro I would âstick toâ. lots of technical issues. I do like their âdesign/creativeâ ideas, though.
Yeah, except they lost me with the whole âapp imagesâ thing. Isnât that more risky, ie things breaking?
I think the thought process is that using app images don't mess with the root system so kinda like a system like fedora silver blue only with app images instead of Flatpak whether that is a good idea or a bad idea I don't know I just know I thought it was a neat idea. I would never run it personally, but I find it neat when distros do something out of the box.
So you had me wondering about this because I know that the idea behind Flatpak are that they give you the kitchen sink instead of relying on the distro for dependencies, but I wasnât sure on AppImages, so I started reading about them, and it seems like they can be either or. Some depend on the system, others can include its own, so itâs up to the developer I guess.
the main diff. between appimages and flatpaks/snaps is that appimages donât need anything to run. you donât have to install anything, no daemon running, just download and run.
nitrux lost me in their stubbornness of the installer for years (initially you either wipped everything, or too bad), their package manager adventure/crazyness and their unstable ubuntu/debian/neon repos mixture.
also , they are using openrc instead of systemd, which i donât mind, but since the âparents/upstreamâ distros all use systemd, things gonna get wild !
What an awesome idea!!!
Why didnât we think of that?
Good bye Windows dual booters.
btw I don't want to sound too harsh on them!
they do great work in terms of design. for example, there are alot of changes to some plasmoids they do, that I don't understand how that isn't default plasma. ( seriously.... notification center... I have lots of pixels, use them ! )
they are, also, the best distro of linux in the "important features for users" metric, because they tend to have the best wallpapers!
Everyone sets priorities differently.
Something that any beginner can change the easiest
has the highest value at a DE / distribution 
that is why I mentioned "on the important features for users metric" 
is there any more important feature for users than wallpapers ???? rhetorical question !! 
Good luck with that!! Apple is not known to play nice with other OSes. They did bootcamp but I was even surprised by that.
Iâve thought for a while that there may be something behind, âooh, shiny, pretty.â My wifeâs a database applications developer, okay, start to finish, conception to completion, even the help files. One of her major gripes is that, though applications may be technically correct, the UI is usually the last thing (other than help docs) a programmer thinks of. They can be ugly and cumbersome as hell. Often times they require a different coder, or at least a coder with a different mindset to finish the UI. She says that in her experience they tend to be exponentially better applications overall. And after 40 years of experience, she says sheâs sticking to that premise.
So, âooh, shiny, prettyâ may subtly point to a better-than-average user experience.
Afterall, nobody can say Garuda is butt-ugly, can they?
Yes, I can !!! It should be similar. And it ainât pretty!
( I found another image, more explicit, but was fearfull of being banned for Bird Butt Porn ( commonly knowns as BBP ))
LOL, have you ever seen (bald) eagles â â â â ? They do it in mid-air, spiraling down from on high as they do so. In front of Gawd & everyone. They're not shy.
I did that was the image i was mentioning but didn't had the balls to post
Yeah, Apple doesnât want any other os to run on their hardware, but there are certain projects that are dedicated to run Linux on make, like this one.
Am surprised too.
Looks like one of the main mobile carriers and internet providers in the US has changed their usage policy to a âŚmore aggressive data mining operation from their internet to mobile services;
And speaking of mobile devicesâŚ

Handy messaging app discussed on Destination Linux Podcast called Session.
It is a decentralized, anonymous messaging app using onion relays for anonymity . Easily give a generated code to whomever you want to chat with, thus no emails, nor phone numbers.
It is available by adding a repo to F-droid on Android devices, Google Play Store, or an apk download. Available in AUR as 'session-desktop' for the desktop version.
Keep the gov't spy agencies ...out of your biznessss!
Could I bother you for an episode number and/or timestamped lazylink, please?
I just had a quick looksie, but failed like a tech pro using apt-get on Arch.
