It does take space on the hard drive. Can easily remove desktop shortcuts. Telemetry on open source software doesn’t usually happen without consent and you can turn it off (Firefox for example).
This is more of a feeling type thing. If it makes you feel good though, go ahead.
Non-running software doesn’t affect performance as it isn’t anywhere near your RAM or CPU. What often people perceive of bloat is frequently software dependencies that are likely to be used over the course of the OS’s usage.
Often I have found bloat free setups end up taking hours of digging out dependencies on multiple occasions. Life is too short. I have things to build.
Chromium can fuck off. FF is king.
Rolling distro, up to date kernel, very good KDE support, stable?
OpenSuse Tumbleweed has got you covered.
Though this weird bloat fetish usually leads to Arch…
Valid question. After reading his opinions, why would anyone follow his mastodon?
If he’s a good YouTuber, it’s like following a footballer who has shit opinions. I’ll watch you play football, but screw following your nonsense stream of consciousness.
Nothing has exactly the same experience as MS. I don’t think there is a clone project for it.
The two you listed are your best options.
Does LibreOffice have any issues that prevent you using it? If not, it’s probably that your expectations are set by your comfort and familiarity with Office and that is the problem you need to solve.
You know it’s a 3 character documentation change.
Unless Quake was made with Copilot, that seems very unlikely:
Those that truly dislike MS and telemetry won’t.
If I’m using non-free it is Jet Brains.
I tend to use Kate, KDevelop.
MS still slurping code into Copilot from Github and telemetry in VSCode.
A tricky read. “We provided no guidance so no one had a clue” vibes from it.
You didn’t need to ask everywhere, just somewhere and make conclusions based on it. It would be mostly the same advice.
How can we talk to all the people who evacuated the on fire building because there wasnot clear assembly point.
Could have always rewritten Lemmy in Rust.
Sanity is restored.
Love KDE, and good to see them chipping away at these pain points.
Ah, so IBM are in control of Red Hat.
I think it seems the timescale to pretend you aren’t going to change anything is 2-5 years.
Don’t expect anything from these big corps, just fork (if you really must), and move on.
It absolutely used to suck performance wise since I used an S4 for about 2 years. Since then, it’s been great. As someone who used to dislike the performance, and now loves it, even over chromium stuff, I can safely suggest your oversimplified opinion is without any real basis. Sucks is such a vague word, and I guess it stops you having to detail and rationalise your personal opinion.
It’s always been great on the desktop.
For default search.
I’m sure you’re aware Firefox isn’t in the search market. They are in the browser market and need to fund browser development. They’ve used Yahoo in the past and will go with whatever deal gives the best value. They could go with Bing if they wanted.
Funding from them does not mean control, and your insinuation is misleading and false.
I would second this, I’ve used it multiple times and I have no desire to use anything else, because it provides all the functionality I need. Strongly recommend.
A fully working Linux Phone with good battery life that supports a good matrix client with e2 encryption. GrapheneOS is good, but we need initiatives independent from Google.
I have TV, but I don’t use it. I mostly use computers for games, and coding…
Gaming is more fun than programmes for me as I like my usage to be interactive rather than passively consuming.
Eh?
