More functional at the expense of privacy or security is probably not an argument that will do well here. Most are here to get away from google and privacy/security are big aspects of those.
I'll go without, for both.
As an environmentalist this really bothers me. I want a new electric car which is better for the planet. I no longer think I can. I would probably have to pick up an older model. What a joke. I'm too angry about the way the world is progressing, our privacy is eroded faster that we can take steps to mitigate.
That is informative and unfortunate.
In reality, leave it, if they don't want to deal with toxicity, they want a toxic project.
Arch users are often quite proud of what their distro says about them. A spin off will likely have people who's ego is a little too invested in this. Many great distros exist that don't encourage toxicity. You can follow this project without being in messaging. Many messaging groups can be toxic.
I'm not sure of any. What's wrong with Firefox etc.?
It still is more browser share for Chromium. Business owners will see that share and use it as part of the business case in implementing WEI. If you want it stopped, you gotta use a real alternative such as Firefox.
Or... he's just a dick. I don't hate him. Hate is an unnecessary negative emotion.
However, his track record is pretty damning, and if you think people dislike him only because the media tell them, then I'm afraid your ability to see and appraise information is pretty compromised.
I use Plasma and like it. I wouldn't have stuck around or really got started if it wasn't for Mint.
Only Manjaro. Every distro has something different. Unfortunately, regular breakages isn't a differentiation people are after.
Yes, but Ubuntu has snaps. Cinnamon is preferred by many to Gnome. It has clear differences.
Right now, there isn't a lot. It's just if something off topic or blatant advertising goes in. Users so far are pretty decent but with more mods, we can respond quicker. This request was more preemptive to remove the bus factor or holiday lag.
Check mod log to see actions so far (not a lot).
I have been using OpenSuse for over a year now, and it's solid. Had 1 minor issue with audio crackling where i needed to restart Pulseaudio, but that's long gone now. Highly recommend. Had regular breakages with Manjaro, so wouldn't touch it.
