Yes. KDE is in fact much lighter and faster than GNOME. Apart from lower RAM usage, it taxes your CPU and GPU less.

Tip, just make a seperate EFI partition for Linux. That way, garbage Windows installer won’t be able to fuck up your install. Altough this assumes you’re running a non-shit EFI mobo that looks for things to boot in every partition.
Seriously. I just can’t escape. I think it’s nice to have people who support xism while also having people that support yism and zism, as it creates a healthy environment where we can discuss things throughly; since each member will see, recognize, and interpret what they see differently and possibly contribute more.
Vast majority of Lemmy users are in the same demographic which barely provides differing opinions so there’s basically nothing to discuss (apart from things do not sit well with said demographic).
I really do hope this platform somehow attracts users from every ideology much like Tildes.
What? These things are not related to each other by a good margin. In fact, since the FOSS is completely orderless, it goes against communism; which requires some sort of order just to be able to function. But either way, the parallel is not there or questionable at best, not to mention irrelevant.
Can we NOT drag useless politics into FOSS?
Venn diagram of people who understand this specific technicality and people who don’t want to deal with the shitty TV software is almost a circle though.
I’d rather get a Android box at the very least…, or just HTPC.
I find it naive to think GNOME would suddenly start caring about compatibility as moving to a standard doesn’t guarantee such.
This is a reaaaaly specific thing to think about, you okay?
Did they lift the “only curated extensions” bullshit yet? I’m on Kiwi just to be able to run my own (unpacked) extensions that FF doesn’t let me do so.
It was really slow before Quantum happened and it’s smooth sailing ever since imo.
Funnily enough Chromium actually consumes less RAM and is safer due to better sandboxing.
But neither of these concern the average user. However, the main difference between the browsers user may notice is how pages that are still loading behave. Firefox has the correct behavior. Aka waiting for vast majority of the elements to finish loading versus Chromium just going “if it’s rendered it’s intractable.” This unfortunately means that Firefox feels slower even though it’s actually faster.
Also, on behalf of the dark mode enjoyers, flashing white for a moment while launching, loading web pages or updating contents of a webpage is incredibly annoying. None of the Chromium browsers flash white on dark mode.
Even if it was all gamers, that’d push a lot of companies to care about Linux a whole lot more. Venn diagram of people who spend a lot of money in tech stuff and people who play games is almost a circle nowadays.
Being paid. Sync runs ads normally. Although he could go in the old Slide route.
Then the distro doesn’t matter that much. You shouk go for either Snaps or Flatpaks for applications as they won’t break the system even if something catastrophic happens.
Personally I’d go for distros with great deal of support (Pop, Fedora and Mint) and put Flathub as the main source in the respective app stores. Smaller distros tend to have more issues that requires some troubleshooting at times.
Check how does she uses Ubuntu first though, if she’s using the Canonical’s additions to Gnome a lot, she’ll have a horrible time with vanilla Gnome as it’s pretty barebones, that’ll rule out any distro with vanilla Gnome such as Fedora. Trust me, you don’t want to be babysitting your partners computer.
If she’s coming from Windows, Mint is a much better choice with Cinnamon
So I tested both FireFox and Edge real quick and it’s true.
Although, I enabled every security and privacy setting on both (just about the same set of extentions also). But even then, even with a lower score, Edge still feels much smoother to use. Also, every time test refreshed, FF flashed white for a split second as opposed to Edge’s black. Since I use dark mode and Dark Reader, it’s extremely annoying on FF’s part.
Airbnb is much better for families whereas hotels cater to everyone else basically.
Fedora uses dracut as opposed to initramfs, so that’s also a major difference.
I’ve seen people that use third party apps and had no idea about them going away. Let’s see if it effects Reddit in any meaningful way.
Honestly that just shows bug report templates/rules are too hard for most users.
Social(ist) policies are extremely removed from socialism. The countries people list here, aka Canada, Danmark and Ireland among others are extremely capitalist still. This thread is therefore useless.
