Distributions of corporate origin such as Ubuntu, Leap, Fedora, etc., i.e. distributions that exist because there is a company supporting the development community. More specifically, is it more advisable to use a distribution supported by a company that contributes a large part of the system’s development?

I use Lollypop and I love it. I would like it to have more information about the track being played. Which audio player do you recommend for Gnome that is in GTK4? Thanks

If you want technical support, of course you do. Just because a code is open source does not mean it should be free. Developers need to eat too. Another issue is that there are distributions such as ZorinOS that charge money for the right to use a pro version, when in reality it is the same version that you can configure yourself and that ZorinOS belongs to a company, not a user community.

Indeed, I believe that the Fediverse is a paradise island where one can escape the noise created mainly by AI bots on centralised, proprietary social networks, but many users get a dopamine rush from eliciting an emotional response on the network, and that rush is provided by Reddit’s algorithms.

I completely agree. To attract more users, you not only have to create higher quality content, but also content that elicits an emotional response from users, as they well know at Reddit. On Reddit, it is bots that are constantly posting controversial topics. On Lemmy, fortunately, it is humans who can participate in more controversial discussions to attract more humans. For me, as a Linux and Firefox user, controversial discussions include comparisons between Windows vs Linux, Firefox vs Chrome, etc.

KDE & openSUSE is one of the best combinations for Linux.
