• "We understand" ;)

  This is partially why I use tools like i3 (/ sway). I like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. It just works. It is boring in the best way possible. Source: 6 months ago

• what machines have you used for development, and what do you prefer?

  I use MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014) with Manjaro as OS using i3 as a window manager. It isn't perfect, but I'm thrilled with it. I have been a Mac OS user for the last 15 years and wouldn't change what I have now for a Mac OS because I don't need more than what I'm using for development. Source: 11 months ago

• Machine for pentesting and general use?

  For daily usage I really like kubuntu with i3wm, but it takes some configuration and getting used to the shortcuts, but it's well worth it. Source: about 1 year ago

• What's the difference between Gnome and KDE? Do applications written for one work in the other?

  Some window managers are meant to be used as-is, and provide a minimalist yet functional environment that use very little resources or give power users an almost HUD-like interface. Examples of those window managers are OpenBox and i3wm for X, and Weston and Hyprland for Wayland. Source: about 1 year ago

• tiling window manager

  I did use i3 exclusively for a few years. The reasons I chose it were. Source: about 1 year ago

• Fedora Atomic Desktops

  A Fedora distro with a different desktop (or sometimes a specialized purpose): https://fedoraproject.org/spins/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Want to learn how to daily drive a linux distro as a humanities student

  Fedora, in my eyes, seems to fit what you want to do; it has boatloads of documentation, it "just works" if you want it to with an easy installer. You can also use the DNF package manager to get a lot of programs. And if you dislike how it looks by default, there are many spins. Source: 6 months ago

• What do I need to install on fedora to get it functionally close to Nobara?

  You can pick the default Fedora with GNOME Desktop or one of the alternative desktops (Fedora Spin for KDE, Cinnamon, LXDE, XFCE, etc). Source: 7 months ago

• 13" laptops which don't require [fractional] scaling

  All of that sounds like a GNOME-specific problem. Please download a Fedora 38 LiveCD with Cinnamon and test everything there. Source: 12 months ago

• Advice on Distro / DE

  To piggyback, if you're not a fan of the point-to-point release cycle of Mint, you can check out other distros, such as Fedora, which offer a Cinnamon flavor or spin. Source: about 1 year ago
