You could just call the Free operating systems GNU/Linux or NonGNU/Linux.

“Vanilla linux” is vague terminology and distorts history.

Do not use browser based password managers as they’re often not encrypted and are tied to that particular browser. Self host/use Bitwarden along with the web extension or KeyPassXC.

Privacy and best practices are nearly universal across most user-obsessive distributions like Mint or Zorin and by extension most if not all distributions. Don’t let anyone tell you that one distribution is more “private” than another.

Mint is simply just better than Zorin in everything that Zorin tries to do, perhaps if this was a year ago things would be different, but Zorin is just not as well maintained as Mint is.

If you like the look of Zorin, that’s okay, most people do. But all desktop environments can be customized to your liking.

Use Mint instead, Zorin is not as well maintained or looked after like Mint.

I’m not familiar with warp+ but having used Mullvad VPN with most distributions I’d say to see if it supports OpenVPN or Wireguard configurations. That way you can talk directly to NetworkManager or the respective vpn program.

Perhaps Fedora does not have a unique package dependency that Ubuntu has since Fedora is heavily oriented toward systemD and selinux for most system tasks that may be handled by different packages on Ubuntu/Debian distributions. Warp+ may be designed in a way that only expects a ubuntu/debian derivative distro.

I’d try consulting cloudflare customer support for more guidance and to see if they can replicate the issue on their end.

China putting the “Free” in Free Software.

Are you sure that Steam is uninstalled completely from your filesystem. Steam creates a “.steam” user directory and leftover data in the directory may be conflicting with the flatpak. Delete it if it exists and then try restarting your computer. The flatpak version of steam sandboxes the .steam directory.

As always, Steam is proprietary software and doesn’t bother to follow freedesktop standards. The support I can give can only go so far. GOG is always a better solution as it can be used with a libre client like Heroic Games Launcher or Lutris without DRM or invasive anti features. You do not need Steam to leverage Valve’s contributions with Proton and Vulkan.

I would recommend using the flatpak version of steam and seeing if that works before heading any further.

Yeah, it’s misleading but technically still correct. GNU/Linux is a variant of an OS using the linux kernel.

Edit: nevermind they didn’t even mention GNU tar but instead calls it “Linux”

Piracy is always moral. These types of comments ignore the fact that “game devs” don’t actually have full control of their works but instead is split through a larger publishing/corporation and shareholders. Game devs have very little autonomy or personal agency at all.

Very suave, I’m eager to see the dotfiles.

Bait, lmao. Why do you keep wasting everyones time?

Invidous is a libre frontend for YouTube. Find a trusted public instance or start up your own.

Odysee

The moderation on Odysee is horrible, generally should avoid.

I’m a zoomer in uni as well. People have given me the “its another app on my phone” excuse but once I tell them I don’t use any social media they are actually a lot more understanding.

Bonus points if I hit them with the Free Software rhetoric.

This person is just a brainless chud who got pwned by a literal computer program for parasocial weirdos.

Found the bootlicker. How does it taste?

Security and avoidance of anti-features != anonymity. If you wanted that you would have to use something like GNU Jami which has account archives and is peer to peer.

I’m just grateful that the phone number requirement means less of a hassle for others.

Cool story bro, stay mad. Even in your little mind of hexbears vs. The world, the hexbears won.

The OP is a hexbear who previously brought this up in the subreddit. Now it’s brought up here and now you’re mad there’s pushback. You can’t engage with us on the and now you’re resorting to meaningless personal jabs.

Stay mad poo poo pee pee.

wdym, you think people can’t change? Most everyone here has used rice before because it was the dominant term in this comm. Now that this post is here, there’s no excuse for it. This is not the clever own you think it is.

What a loser, get an actual argument instead of digging up my old comments that aren’t relevant to the current discussion, or just go back to reddit, they’d love you.

I consider that an absolute win for queers. Corporate pandering can eat shit.
