It is possible on both GNOME and KDE iirc. I never use that feature, but i am sure i saw it in the settings.

Because of the their choice to hold back package updates by a bit, it breaks AUR support. I have Aldo heard people talk about stability problems. The biggest reason IMHO to choose EndeavourOS (or even CachyOS) over Manjaro is that the former is much closer to base Arch Linux. Manjaro just has a bad reputation. When I used Manjaro like 6 years ago it was fine.

More streamlined installer, less/no command line in favor of GUI. Comes as an appimage but requires some packages to be installed on the host.

If they add flatpak support it would be so good.

Officially from the Tor Project there is also oniux. From the blog, “a small command-line utility providing Tor network isolation for third-party applications using Linux namespaces”.

It requires rootful Docker, KVM, and AppImage (FUSE2). As long as those requirements are met, it should work. Should be as simple as using ujust or rpm-ostree to install the necessary packages.

Seconding fish shell. Very nice experience and the only real downside (or upside depending on perspective) is the non-POSIX syntax for some things.

I use Varia as my graphical download manager. It has download acceleration built in thanks to aria2. I get often double or triple the download speed (depending on the website). For example, when I downloaded the Fedora Workstation ISO from fedoraproject I got download speeds from 18mbs normal to 60mbs with Varia. Free and open source of course, available on Windows and Linux.

Individuals can make there own custom images using blue build and templates for the starting image.

Include mode, selecting your Torrent app.

XFCE is still on X11 so it is not a good choice for a secure private OS. GNOME both secures privileged Wayland protocols and has sandboxing for its thumbnailer, among other important security features. KDE is another option, but is kinda over the top for an amnesic distro.

Pretty good unless your game doesnt enable anticheat support for Linux like the battlefield games or fortnite for example. Performance per game is either on par or better than Windows. Game support can be checked on https://protondb.com/

Most of it isnt libvirt but instead LXC containers.

It doesn’t have default support but can with environment variable.

Website’s style breaks without 3rd party scripts permission. Not that that’s indicative of the quality of the distro, but I don’t like websites that depend heavily on Google, Cloudflare, and external CDNs for scripts since it makes the website less secure.

Very cool, love Incus. Wish it had better security options, such as supporting GVisor application kernel.

I’d pick openSUSE Slowroll. Easy, monthly updates, comes with YaST system tooling.

It will have some challenges but the documentation is decent. If security matters to you, it has better protections than any other Linux distro (Qubes OS isn’t technically a distro). If you have a problem, first check to see if it is a Secureblue issue then check if it is an upstream Fedora atomic issue.

Secureblue eliminates many attack vectors. It is also recommended by PrivacyGuides. Worth trying if you can find davinci resolve as a Flatpak or Fedora RPM.

I did a fresh install of fedora in a VM given 4 cores, 16gb ram, and storage on an NVME SSD. Finally I am getting a reasonable boot time of 6.5 seconds. But on bare metal I can’t get anywhere close to that. Firmware alone takes 15 seconds. Either way, now I know that it isn’t a “Systemd problem”, just that only Systemd gives me this problem.
