In comparison to just installing completely unsandboxed apps?

If you're on NVIDIA or KDE, you may have been thinking that this Wayland thing is just not working. For those of us running Intel on GNOME, it has been a smooth ride for a long time now. So, we just have vastly different experiences.

Damn, and I thought my IBM 5150 with its 512KB of RAM was light.

I think there will be some willing to pay, but it is heavily dependent on whether people actually decide to jump over to the Fediverse or not. We really need to work hard while we still have time to drive content and community here to show users that there is a path forward.

It all depends on your use case. I've been using it full-time just fine since 2019, and when I did try using X again, it felt sluggish.

WTF is "Gnewsense"? Old? "Backtrack" is a precursor to Kali Linux that was out for a few years, and hasn't been around for over a decade?

Just another case of "you will own nothing...". Come on over to Linux, where the ISOs are plentiful.

Uses old Fedora logo? Check. So small it can barely be read? Check. Using distros nobody ever heard of? Check. Must be from India.

Basically, it's saying, use Nextcloud, don't get fooled by these privacy-oriented sites that may have some sort of open source client to access the service, but is running on pure closed-source infrastructure. I would agree that it's smarter to use Nextcloud instead, but for email? Yeah, I'm not self-hosting that.
