I tried their icons on KDE (there is a theme) and these old, very detailed icons just dont make sense. Too much color, very incoherent style and way too much detail that you cannot see anyways.
But I have not tried it, as I was too dumb that you need Javascript to have the payment download button work.
Absolutely. GNOME often looks better, but it just doesnt work. Basic things everywhere are removed or not added.
You mean Desktop?
Distro, I think Lubuntu does LXQt better than Fedora LXQt.
But LXQt is a huge mix of mostly KDE Theming.
Tumbleweed is better than traditional Fedora. But it is worse than Fedora Atomic Desktops.
The key words are
rpm-ostree reset
rpm-osree rebase
rpm-ostree status
this is not possible even on OpenSUSEs “immutable” distros, which to my knowledge are not better than Tumbleweed in any way.
OpenSUSEs immutable distros are not more reliable than Tumbleweed to my knowledge. There is no reset, rebase, transparency over applied modifications (rpm-ostree status) or other crucial things.
First look if your Chromebook is supported.
You can do this in ChromeOS. The model number needs to match exactly.
Chromebooks run some version of Coreboot but that includes many proprietary drivers.
Mrchromebox is an awesome developer, patching coreboot to include all the needed drivers.
First you need to look if your Chromebook is even supported for running coreboot.

Your Storage is pretty low. Adding an SD card with up to 256GB is very possible. There are even 1TB SD cards!
But best to check if you can replace the emmc module inside.
Open it up and send us a pic of the internals. Also search online.
Increasing the emmc storage will give you the best speed. Using a USB stick/ flashdrive is not recommended as those are not meant for running an OS off of them.
pretty low but not extremely. 4GB is pretty fine.
You can work around it by using a Distro using ZRAM, like Fedora.
Ask here or on discussion.fedoraproject.org how to make ZRAM fill all your RAM.
ZRAM compresses your RAM contents with zstd (imagine it like .zip but worlds better), so you have 12GB or more space. But it consumes more CPU power, which should be a fine tradeoff.
While preeetty outdated in default design on Fedora, it is the most lightweight Desktop that will soon (version 6.1) have Wayland support.
Lubuntu has a better theming and maybe better support, see if ZRAM works on Ubuntu base.
I would recommend Fedora Atomic Desktops a lot.
But as LXQt is likely the best desktop, and it doesnt have the best support on Fedora, I would recomment Lubuntu.
Even though I would give KDE a try, you can strip it down really well. Here, Fedora Kinoite is absolute king.
Thanks! Really helpful!
They messed up the signing on the server side.
They are using all non-stable technology. The Github action and cosign may be normal, but Fedora doesnt release their container images (even though they are the ones that uBlue consumes).
The updating mechanism is fine, this is a security measurement. If the signing failed, it shouldnt update as this could mean malware.
An alternative always is to use the LTS kernel, currently 6.6
That one may break less often.
True. But keep in mind, /etc and /var are mutable. So you can still get bad config files etc.
Not Stallman approved
Lol Windows is slow garbage, doesnt run on half my families devices soon, and is full of adware and spyware.
I suppose doas is a pretty great alternative.
Smaller code is often good, but not always.
RedHat is not restricting access to any upstream project. They package things in extremely stable form, which means they need to manage like all the software themselves and do tons of backports, as normally software just releases new versions.
They restrict access to these packages.
So yes, their 5 years old systemd with backported security fixes may be restricted. But not the normal systemd you can install anywhere.
Why would corporations prefer it?
And neither Arch, nor Ubuntu, nor Debian, nor OpenSUSE, nor any other distro using systemd belongs to IBM.
systemd has nothing to do with any corporation doing bad stuff to “our Linux”.
It is just newer software, doing more things more easily.
Sure, the centralization is pretty damn bad. But for example replacing sudo is needed.
It probably has USB, wifi adapters are cheap.
Very cool and unique iconset!
