They got a exception because npbody uses that insecure garbage here, everyone uses Whatsapp tho so this makes a lot of sense!

Whatsapp encrypts top and it's your choice to write with someone on Whatsapp... 🤦

I have a similar issue but I am able to use SMS for those few people, most of them are relatively easy to convince of Singla in my experience, it's as easy as it gets, basically whatsapp in secure!

I will finally be able to replace fucking SMS with a few people that simply won't switch to Signal, I simply won't use Whatsapp and that did cause some security issues till now!

God damn, you should probably try to sue for that torture!

Definitely not limited to RHEL!

Damn, I am quite sure it's in Debians build-essentials!

htop, distrobox and in some cases Flatpak!

Edit: after reading the comments I want to add curl and git, seriously, why aren't those a default?!

Still lazy! ;)

I don't think it's a SSD vs HDD situation (both should work perfectly fine with any DE) but rather a case of old and dieing HDD, that's at least what caused my system to fuck up two years ago or somethimg like that. There are systems that work better on far slower than HDD (today only "achived" by dieing HDDs) speed tho so I could imagine that improving the situation, just don't sotre important stuff on that till you got a new drive!

If you create multiple user accounts you can contain the user specific parts for those accounts if I am not wrong, certain thing will probably still be a little messy but I only tried it on the same account before and never did again, that could pribably help a little!

That's not at all what my comment claims...

Or you just wait a little before you update or keep the extensions to small changes that are easier to update!

I usually stick to two or three and don't try to findmentally change the workflow but you are right, especially for small changes like this one!

It's not, it's a rock solid, slow moving desktop that emulates a familiar experience for every Windows user and dose so awesome, my dad couldn't use KDE or Gnome and XFCE is great too but far closer to that ancient description and harder to use than Cinnamon for most normal people, it's simply perfect for people like my Dad even compared to Windows!

I get why that thing isn't implemented because it's really ugly and most of the icons there serve literally no purpose but they need a proper replacment because some apps simply need it!

Extensions are amazing if you need one or two small fwatures but if you mod something too much it will break eventually even if there is no update to the API. This time it's a easy fix again but it's also quite universal breakage sincee they switch from GJS to some more normal JS implementation and that changes some syntax but I expect developers to implement that quickly, maybe most of it could even be done with scripts I guess.

I haven't done it myself but I own a Pinephone (Linux phone) and that completely isolates the modem to prevent closed source code on the main OS and apparently that runns Linux, not sure if it counts because it's technically Linux already but someone hosted his blog on that and wrote about it!

Yea, it's not the hardest porting effort ever because GJS isn't that far from normal JS but it's universal breakage because some syntax will change with that move!

That's because you are on XFCE and they haven't adopted Wayland yet, NVidia drivers sadly really struggle with that but it's slowly getting better!
