Yeah, I think I’m staying wit Bazzite for now, it’s just too perfect.

There are a few atomic alternatives, though:

OpenSUSE Aeon: https://aeondesktop.github.io/

OpenSUSE Kalpa: https://kalpadesktop.org/

EndlessOS (based on Debian): https://www.endlessos.org/os

VanillaOS (based on Ubuntu): https://vanillaos.org/

Yeah, as long as you do that I’ll pay for a VPN to circumvent your geoblocks and or sail the high seas instead of renting your stuff via a subscription, so suit yourself.

Yeah, I think it depends on how the distro decides to implement it, can’t remember now but I think e. g. in Fedora KDE you need to tick a box somewhere in Discover’s (KDE’s updater) settings (and then it’s Fedora’s own Flatpak repo?). In Bazzite which I’m using atm it’s Flatpaks all the way down anyway 😸

It’s also quite nice in KDE that you can do Flatpak permissions etc in System Settings.

Danmark (and Finnland apparently, I think I’ve also seen it in Sweden?) also have

Interestingly, I just (10 minutes ago) learned about

which seems to be in a fledgling stage but still further along than

Nice, I haven’t been to Gotland yet, thanks for the tip! I think my brother is planning to go on his way to Norway this summer, iirc.

I’m from the north of Germany originally and I like Denmark / Sweden best.

Can you post the PDF, please? As others have said I’d never use AI for ethical and environmental reasons but I’d love to be able to look up which brands to avoid.

I this image AI slob? Wtf would you do that?
