Might it be, that you used Flatpaks or Snaps on Mint/Ubuntu and installed them thru their "App-Shops/Stores"? Cause Flatpaks and Snaps are like containerized software that ship all dependencies inside the container therefore you don't need so much tinkering there compared to AUR/Arch/no-Flatpak

Pop! and Mint are based on Ubuntu and use the same package base. All three distributions are good to use for new users. Ubuntu 26.04 is the latest Version of Ubuntu. I'm unsure about increasing storage on S76 later but it is possible with Framework laptops -> frame.work

Try using an AUR-helper like "yay" and look for your software in the AURs. There you can get most of the software. github.com/Jguer/yay aur.archlinux.org

people are complaining en masse about Copilot being baked in practically everything by Microsoft but now Omarchy planning to ship it as part of their OS seems like an odd choice for me

Microsoft has gone full obnoxious with "Upgrade your plan" in Office. The button doesn't go away and will drown out everything else in Word, including the name of the file you're editing. If you needed evidence MSFT is panicked over retail Copilot sales, this is pretty compelling evidence.

using Ivanti VPN with 2FA on Linux is such a pain. Since the last update the AUR package isn't working for me anymore and on Fedora there are dependencies that do not even exist anymore (webkit2gtk3). Sadly there is no alternative at work in sight yet

Does it seem unlikely that an authoritarian US government uses the Cloud Act to get research data from foreign universities to take advantage of?

Scott @heinoscott.de · 14/04/2026

I really wish for universities ditching Microsoft for open source alternatives. Problem remains, that Microsoft makes the licenses for student accounts provided by the universities free. Therefore it is much cheaper to stay with Microsoft and an out-of-the-box working system like M365

Worried Europe is too reliant on US tech? Our data shows you’re likely in the majority. Surveying 3,000 people in the UK 🇬🇧, Germany 🇩🇪, and France 🇫🇷, we found that 8 out of 10 consumers are concerned about US tech dependence. 🇺🇸 Let's dig into our findings... 1/11

Since the AURs are down again, what are valid, easy to use OS alternatives? OpenSuse, Fedora, Void? Any other suggestions?

I finished writing my last paper before I can start with my Bachelor's thesis. I wrote and formatted the whole paper in #LibreOffice. 10/10 as easy to work with as Word/M365 or whatever you call it. Not missing any functionalities, highly recommend!
