Fragmented doesn't mean you can't make native apps. GTK, QT, FLTK or TK apps coexist peacefully on linux the same way apps made with Cocoa, JUCE or whatever own internal proprietary toolkit apps run and coexist on MacOS.

While I used to.distrohop a bit at the beginning of the century, my current Fedora 44 install dates back from Fedora 25 or 26 which I believe was released somewhere around 2017. It has moved from one laptop to another as I couldn't be

The thing is, Linux is robust too in my experience. My current laptop is running the latest release 44 of Fedora. That install dates back to version 26 which was something like 9 or 10 years ago, can't remember the exact year. That ins

Can't "autocorrect" be replaced to "autosuggest" instead like on android devices? I have never been fan of autocorrection tools (especially as I am regularly writing in 4 different languages) regardless of the OS bu

Is that really a thing? My ISP gives me a router that takes an SSID/password by default (that it gets back to if I reset to defaults) but I can change it any time as well as other parameters (like channels, wether WPS is activated, etc

The fact you don't do it means you actually don't care at all about your privacy. It takes 5 minutes to bring every member in an household in the living room or kitchen and assist them to change the wifi password on their device.
