Several different operating systems, such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonflyBSD (the latter one having a live system and being the easiest to try out). Those have their history based in BSD. But thatʼs all bit too much to fit in s reply here.
Unlike Linux distributions, those projects develop a kernel and the other parts together and make an OS.
Most software will be available on BSDs and on Linux distributions.
Just that. Also, most research I’ve seen claim no difference to be found, but surely that also depends and neurotype and several other things, so it might still be helpful for some groups.
Testing does not have dedicated security work and issues could be unsolved for a couple more days. You can use testing, of course, but read Debian security advisories. Upgrade packages from Unstable if there’s something critical and do not wait days for a fix.
It’s called unstable because packages are constantly upgraded, unlike Debian Stable, which stays the same until the next release and only gets patches. It is NOT called unstable “because they do not guarantee that it will work”, for that you’d need paid enterprise support from some company.

Everything else is managed by Ansible or synced via Synthing (except ~/Downloads).
Oh, you can do serious work with GNOME, most people try to force it into something that it is not.
This video gives a good overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbDLfRjam0E
I know many people that prefer GNOME for their work in IT. I prefer Sway, but use GNOME on phones and tablets, where it works great for me.
Is this satire? Just wondering, because it sounds so stupid.
I’ve used that font on an ereader for more then a year, then switched to something else and noticed no difference at all.
I’ve also seen research claiming that it does not help at all, so idk.
First couple of years? I was in my early teens when trying out many distros within a couple weeks, for example Puppy Linux, Ubuntu, Edubuntu, Ubuntu Netbook Remix, OpenSuse… Then I settled on Ubuntu and used that from 2008 to 2022, when I was fed up with Canonical shoving snapd down my throat and me having to uninstall it all the time. Since then I’ve used Debian exclusively, previously I only had it on some machines.
(I’ve also toyed a bit with the BSDs, but was missing systemd, so those never stuck with me.)
That seems to be something a cheap Raspberry Pi 4 can easily handle. I even use mine as an SMB share. Sure, the speed is limited by the network port and USB port sharing data lanes, but it’s fast enough for my needs. Needs tiny amounts of eletricitiy, so I don’t burn the planet that quickly.
I migrated my mother to GNOME (on Debian), that’s very much unlike Windows, but she immediately got it. The overview of open programs is similar to what she knows on Android, for example. She is someone that struggles with email attachments from time to time, but GNOME works well for her.
It does not have to look like Windows to work for people. People use phones a lot more these days and those do not run Windows (hopefully, at least, cause that’s dead).
Try out Debian. Stable, base of many other distros, loads of documentation, huge helpful community, just runs and barely ever breaks (I can’t even remember the last time I had issues).
Somehow I, actually, find this font hard to read. o.O
I also sometimes does TTS while reading along, but most of the time I’m doing it it just means I should get some rest instead of forcing more focus (AuDHD).
Is there any science in this? I believe this might just be a preference. :D
Sure, but I still don’t understand why they decided against semantic versioning. That way people would be far less confused.
That’s just FUD. “Secure Boot keys are considered compromised.”…
some are… some
Doesn’t mean it’s better to turn off all security measures and live without them.
That’s like saying a lightbulb stopped working, so now you live without electricity. :)
Security tools are there for a reason. Sure, I can encrypt my Linux rootfs, but that doesn’t stop anyone from tampering with the initramfs. Secure Boot + UKI does.
Pebble app. There’s Rockwork, but outside of Ubuntu Touch it will only produce empty notifications. There’s Rockpool, that’s only for SailfishOS. There’s Amazfish, but so far it can only pair and then… nothing.
Yes, but just because SMART does not complain does not mean the drive has issues. If it does, it means there are issues. That should be kept in mind.
