Year of the Linux Desktop!

True…BT codecs these days are almost hi-res compatible, why to even bother when actually audiophiles use external DAC.

Ew, that sounds bad. I would prefer “promote open twitter-like social media” instead of “ban X” (you can replace X with any other website/software, even FOSS one). No banning should be allowed in EU.

Reddit who?

Yeah not really “don’t mind”, but hopefully I won’t need it, thanks

I have to admit its interesting pick, I will try that out first in VM, thanks for suggestion :)

Well I tried, it was better than cachyOS now, but still it was not so for noobs, i had to fix many problems using it

KDE only, I would prefer stability (as I’m tired of things breaking up), but I need latest updates (thats why i liked flatpak, cuz it partially replaces need of AUR).

Great…Right now, when I was thinking about finally installing Manjaro (I saw its for noobs, pretty well designed, i’m tired of “power users” distros). What else then? I used EOS, it was buggy sometimes errors etc., I use cachyOS and all the time errors and problems, but i just don’t care anymore, Ubuntu is corporate’s shit, maybe Mint or Fedora? Actually, I kinda liked flatpak recently, maybe I could live without AUR he? But on the other hand I need this rolling release cycle, thats why I hoped Manjaro is such “stable arch”, I’m nvidia user…

Oh well? I think you should educate yourself a little, it was never designed to be free, it was designed for army for long distance fast and reliable communication, later evolved to be a service, no service is free, providers aren’t gods to give you anything for free.

I know what adblock is and how works, I use, that doesn’t change the fact it is just ruining free internet, if everyone used adblockers google, youtube, gmail and all other apps would not be free (you think why youtube ads are getting longer and longer?) If you use something for free, you either abuse someone’s work, or you sell your data, no free things on this world.

I knew it will be downvoted, but you have to realize, nothing is free in this world kids, I don’t like it too, but it is what it is.

You want free and private internet - Ok You don’t want ads - Ok So who is going to give you something for free and why?

The problem is Signal supports up to 1000 people group chat, so it’s better to find something different

When telegram team is mainly focusing on UX instead of privacy and security, it is not wierd for me. They don’t have to bother about encryption, about matrix protocol which federates all the self-hosted servers, about self-hosting in itself etc. I’m pretty sure element’s UX is a side-quest compared to all those other things under the curtain. Summing it up, Element X is in fact a huge upgrade, making it closer in UX to other mainstream apps like those i mentioned above, not Telegram, because it is not even a messenger, its just a social media app that immitates “private and secure” messenger, but in reality it is just twitter DM.

Telegram isn’t really an alternative, they don’t even use encryption by default, so it should be faster. Better to compare real alternatives: Signal, Whatsapp, Simplex etc.
