  • Excellent, they should. Europe has many services that are already on par with American alternatives (certainly when it comes to Microsoft’s services), many are cheaper or even free, and actually respect our data.

    We also have SUSE and OpenSUSE from Germany that work as very serviceable alternatives to Windows. I hope this wake up call that has been the US’s betrayal of all past allies leads EU tech to capitalize on it.

    Applying the term Rogue State is probably only an excuse to attack in most cases, but it really applies to DRK.

    The chicken or the egg, which came first?

    If i were to guess, I’d say North Korea doesn’t engage with more standard economic activities because the entire western world refuses to do business with them. So they resort to illegal activities instead.

    Not that this excuses much, but countries still need to survive somehow. Cuba is a country that doesn’t do any of the hacking that NK does, but that doesn’t save them from being mercilessly cut off from the world economy either. And NK knows this.

    Also, I’m not a north Korean bot and I resent that the discourse around this topic has become so polluted that I have to preface by saying this.






  • Very excited about this.

    Recently discovered GNOME and loved the workflow, and now I find out Cosmic improves upon it with a more modern programming language behind it, which is native to Wayland.

    I’m not much of an Alpha tester, but ill be following the progress of the project closely.

    Hey, so I wanted to come back just to say: I ended up trying Bluefin, and frankly… I like it better than Aurora now. Lol. The workflow is insanely good for me who get distracted so easily.

    I thought I was finding a distro for my wife (who will surely love it) but I ended up finding it for myself also.

    Just thought I’d let you know. Cheers buddy!

    It’s like using a chromebook, and the less there is to click on, the better.

    Hmm, you may be onto something here.

    I think I’ll test drive it and consider the same for my wife. She has a Mac, and she says she prefers Windows (clearly she hasn’t used it in nearly a decade), and this might be an option for her if I can just put all the stuff she uses on the bottom docker.

    Thanks for the tip, and best of luck in your Linux journey! 🐧

    I agree with you, lol. The other day I tried windows 11 at a store, and it was a pain. The learning curve was bigger from windows 10 -> 11 than from windows 10 -> KDE.

    I’m curious about your choice of Gnome for your wife, though. If she’s hopeless with computers, why give her a less (imho) intuitive DE to play with?
