Pop!_OS won't use GNOME for much longer. They're currently developing their own desktop called COSMIC.
I think Fedora is pretty great. It offers a lot of packages and ships updates quickly, has good performance, doesn't include much crap, is pretty good security-wise and lets you choose between many desktop environments. There are even more stable and secure immutable versions like Fedora Silverblue, Kinoite and others, along with forks of it like Universal Blue and the distros that are based on it like Bazzite, Aurora, Bluefin or Secureblue.
We already have the Steam deck, and SteamOS just got official support for third-party hardware. I don't think it will take that long until we see gaming laptops or mini PCs preloaded with SteamOS.
Hear me out, I actually had a similar concept in mind, but only for files, emails, calendar entries, bookmarks, that kind of stuff. Things that I actually saved on my computer, not random screenshots of what I'm looking at. This is a huge difference IMO. What I look at should never be saved. Only when I specifically save something, should it persist. I would actually love a FOSS, local and private AI solution that would allow me to simply query anything I've ever saved on my computer with a simple search request, without having to waste time on naming my files. Even better if it would understand the context and stuff. This would especially be useful with photos, as they never have proper filenames, just some generic random stuff. Or with code, if the AI search could understand the context of my code and I could just pull it up using a search terms like "the function for handling DNS over TLS requests a few years ago" or whatever, and it would just pull out that one function from the project. Even better if this could be integrated with a separate, generative AI model, that could make small changes to my already existing stuff. I don't know, e.g. "refactor the function to use LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL TLS library".
This is not a kernel panic and associated reboot. It simply crashes the SpringBoard, which is kinda like the "desktop environment" of iOS. It's responsible for the homescreen, and calls other processes like the window server. It's a normal userspace process, not related to the kernel at all.
Edit: Sorry I actually meant to link to this wiki page https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki//System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app
That's so cool, how have I never discovered that after so many years of using Linux?...
Just don't download any software and you'll be fine. Sure, there are better trackers for movies, TV shows and music nowadays, but I'm still glad we have The Pirate Bay
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely check that out
Ok then use a firewall like https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall (I assume that this was on Windows) to block these apps' internet access. There are other good options like the Safing Portmaster (which also works on Linux), OpenSnitch (Linux) and LuLu or Little Snitch on macOS. There are many more options for Linux, iptables, nftables, firewalld, or ufw with a GUI like gufw.
they also add personal information to any file you generate with the softwares
In that case, I'm using a VM where there is absolutely no information about me
The Darknet Diaries podcast made a really good episode about The Pirate Bay, telling the entire story, including funny stories like the responses to these letters, and interviewing Peter Sunde, one of the 3 founders. https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/92/
You can even connect it with your Steam account, and see all the games from your library, as well as statistics (percentage of the games in your library that work, etc.)
