  • Zicoxy3@lemmy.mltoLinux@lemmy.ml•What Linux distro surprised you the most?

    Fedora. I was always with Mint and Cinnamon. I tried Pop!Os, Manjaro and Debian, whenever I could with Cinnamon. Fedora was recommended to me, which I had never entered in the distros to try. I installed it and I’ve been using it for 2 years with its respective updates. No problems at all. I had not tried Gnome. I don’t like it the most but I’m fine with it.

    the big companies, technological or not, always do the same thing… they launch a good product, very cheap (or free). When they already have a big market, they start cutting back. In the case of food, they raise prices, cut products, slightly change the taste… In the case of technology, they raise prices, cut the product, eliminate features…

    That a company like Google, dedicated to data, has its own browser and pays to include it as standard in cell phones, it is clear that it is not going to stand still when an addon for its browser blocks part of its business…In this case, very few will switch browsers. That means changing habits. Already did with Google Photos… . Tiene miles de millones de fotos y vídeos de menores, de fiestas, íntimas… Ofrece espacio gratuíto y después, le pagas por ello, porque tienes tu vida ahí… Or with Google Maps. It’s a great service, but it knows where you go, what for, your schedules… a brutal security problem…or with email… it reads everything. Because otherwise it will add you to the calendar when you take a flight without having opened the confirmation email…

    I’ve never stopped using Firefox. Google pays it too, but it’s the only one that’s independent. And then there’s Waterfox, Librewolf, PaleMoon… Run away from Google… there are alternatives.

    Open a bug report in KeepassXC’s repository, maybe it’s a big in their code. Or they’ll tell you that the bug is in proton pass, and you can report it there too so that they know about it and can fix it. Maybe the KeepassXC team can give you a workaround too

    My English is very poor for technical explications… I search the issue in KeepassXC Github but I don’t found similar solution.

    I have been using password gestoires for a long time. First LastPass, until I switched to GNU/linux and discovered Keepass and then KeepassXC… For me they are indispensable. That’s the one I used until about 1 year ago when I started having problems with the Firefox addon. It did not recognize the pages. I tried ProtonPass and I like it, but I don’t like having them online, no matter how secure the site is. I’ve tried going back to KeepassXC, locally, but the file I export from ProtonPass won’t load in KeepassXC. I feel stuck.

  • Zicoxy3@lemmy.mltoLinux@lemmy.ml•I am happy for the Linux Mint team

    Linux Mint as been in development for over 15 years. Its good for them to get some press coverage and positive attention.

    As far as I can tell most people switching to Linux Mint are fairly happy with the experience beside some minor Linux quarks.

    Linux Mint is great, but is outdated. In my opinion the Mint team should definitely separate itself from Ubuntu and stop making duplicate applications… They spend too much time and resources to separate servers to avoid Snap. LMDE is a good distro. With a little more attention it can become something bigger.

    Unfortunately, reddit has been too long and entrenched in society to “remove” it from our browsers. It is very different from Twitter or another social network. Lemmy is a great project. I hope it works and establishes itself as a real alternative, but it still has a long way to go. Unfortunately, the Reddit/Lemmy format is resource intensive, and that’s the problem with a service like this.

    It’s my simple opinion. I support any fediverso project, but reddit, today I think it is irreplaceable.

    I will also leave whatsapp. It’s true that I hardly use it. In my case I use Telegram. Why to Signal? Telegram is much more widespread than Signal. I understand that Telegram is not 100% secure, but neither is Signal when you need a phone number. That is the first rule.
