Have you at all attempted to look? It's open source.

Pretty cool. Nice job (Assuming you are the author) and thanks for sharing

I've been a long time user of Debian + Gnome, but I've recently been using Fedora KDE spin as my daily driver just to mix things up a bit. I'd say Fedora is on par with Ubuntu with not having to tinker too much. The only thing I think I've had to really intervene with is getting the Nvidia driver going. Everything else I use just works, and there are plenty of packages available in the repo(s) for anything I'm not building myself.

I think when people say it is a smaller target for virii, they are talking about an actual virus such as ransomware, crypto miner, adware, trojans, etc. I have zero doubt these types of virii are more targeted on Windows platforms. Linux servers on the other hand are indeed going to be the largest target for exploits. The primary mechanism by which a Linux server is compromised is going to be via an exploit, not an actual virus. That's not to say they don't exist. I administer hundreds of Linux servers in several data centers. I don't believe I've ever come across an actual virus in the last decade or so, but do deal with exploit and brute force attempts nonstop. Perhaps this is a matter of semantics. I don't consider the tools and methods used to exploit systems as a virus.

It can't run literally everything, but it's pretty damn good, in my opinion. Not that I find myself needing to run a whole lot with it, though.

Pretty sure that is what they are saying. They are the one who initially said that in this thread. I read them saying lower user base as meaning a lower desktop user base, which you acknowledge. Or maybe you're responding to the wrong person.

Which part are you saying isn't true?

One of his videos about task manager is one of those YouTube videos that just won't go away from being suggested for me.

That domain was registered in 2020.

If just sharing one window isn't feasible for these reasons, my go-to is to use OBS.

The irony seems lost on you. It's like calling up your ex to tell her you're not thinking about her.

I wouldn’t mind if they moved Signal to use smart contracts for messaging, but call they have to come up with is crypto? Lol.

You do not need crypto to call with it. It is simply a payment mechanism. I don't see anything wrong with it. If anyone is uninterested, they can simply turn it off or not use it. Conversely, burning up fees to interact with smart contracts to message is what seems more silly to me. There'd be no opting out of that.

I hear what you're saying and I'm not trying to promote Whatsapp, but want to note that backups do offer encryption. They did not use to and I believe it is off by default, however.
