  • They added a field and everyone is losing their minds because systemd has already a bad reputation for doing too much and being too powerful and also because everyone hate age verification so they don’t want it in their free OS so it crystalize the hate. There was something about AI too if I recall. I don’t want US law to impact international FOSS and I don’t want any kind of identity or age verification inside my OS so I understand and share the rage. But this change was very much not a big or impactful thing. Please correct me if I’m wrong, I’m 70% confident on the issue.



  • I can only recommend you watch Evangelion if you never did. Very weird and sometimes uncomfortable but great monument of anime and cool action scene and deep subject about human nature. You can also read the manga.

    If you like any, then you can watch the “remake”, but I would stop at 2.0 or 3.0.

    The manga, original anime and remake have all variation in the events of the story. I think they also did a manga following the protagonist in a world without any Mecha/angel. It’s weird but it’s a classic for a reason, but I can understand it’s not for everyone






  • It might be difficult but if I were you, I would stay in security in Switzerland. But I understand that it may be impossible for you financially or otherwise. I hope this situation will not escalate and that you and your family will find a solution. Good luck out there, my heart goes to you.


  • Honestly, nothing from this post gave it away. I liked the style and zooming on the picture I wasn’t able to understand the technique used (digital, mixed media, embroidery, etc.). Also I wanted to find the artist somewhere I could follow him or at least see more pieces or in higher details.

    But unfortunately while searching his name, I discovered that he use GenAI for his art (at least he’s very open about it so there is that). I was at least expecting some sort of process that includes GenAi with more creative transformation or hand’s on approach but I wasn’t able to find anything. I might be wrong but I truly think he’s just a prompt artists unfortunately 🫤 I wonder then who are the artists that were stolen to generate these pictures. If you know art close to this style please share the names. Thanks !










  • No “breaking” in my experience. I had a weird thing with sound in the beginning that I tried to fix and failed but fixed itself after an update (at this point I believe it is a rite of passage for Linux 😂) and a weird bug with Nvidia on resume from sleep that was a bitch to figure out but really easy to fix. Since then no issues at all. 25.10 is smooth sailing, the update was easy and problem free. I hope I’m not cursing myself.

    Now that I feel a little bit more experience with Linux in contemplating moving to Fedora KDE.

    I fear one thing, it’s that my GPU’s driver is technically not maintained by Nvidia (GTX 1070). I heard Arch user suffered from that and it will eventually come for Ubuntu. Don’t know what to do for now, but I’m sure there will be solution.


  • Kubuntu is the best. It’s Ubuntu with KDE tools and programs. You have Plasma as a desktop environment, which is very close to Window but that you can customize to your need.

    Ubuntu is very popular so you get pretty much everything available and with tutorial, ressources and everything. KDE really push it to the most user friendly, GUI for everything kind of state.

    Steam is easy to install, take charge of Proton or anything needed for your games to run.

    I was very frustrated by Gnome (the default desktop environment for Ubuntu), failing miserably to make it more like Window. I guess Gnome is more for Mac users.

    The only thing I recommend is deactivating Snap and installing Flatpack. It’s easy to find tuto on how to do that. Both Snap and Flatpack are doing the same idea, to bundle a program and it’s dependencies in a format that allows easier distribution to many distro. But Snap is not as good as Flatpack. You are free to leave it or to use both.

    Either way, you can also install program made for Ubuntu or Debian. And with KDE come Discover that is like an App Store and updater.

    Linux Mint is also good but I really think Plasma is the best desktop environment. Good thing to know you can always install more desktop environment then the one already installed, so don’t hesitate to try other.

    If you are already engaged in a very pro open source stance, you might look at Fedora.

    Anyway you choose, there are community of people passionate with Linux that can help you every step of the way. LLM can also help you get the basic. Good luck and welcome 🤗
