Oh, Also, even though browsers like Brave are -free and open source, doesn't mean they aren't harmless -- they make money the same way Chrome makes money for Google: they record all your activity and collect details about web sites you visit so they can sell this data to advertisers. Firefox, Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi, they are all making money from the enormous amount of activity data that is generated when you use your browser or your -free- email client. The mantra -if you can't identify the product, then the product is you- has never been more true with Internet browsers and free email clients!

I ran LibreOffice on a fairly powerful Windows system about 4-5 years ago, an i7, 24GB of RAM, and tried to open an Excel file. Consistently it would take 2 or 3 MINUTES for LibreOffice to open the file, while MS Office did so in seconds. There was nothing special about the Excel file, it was not particularly large, maybe 200K, or complex. I never did find out what the problem was so I deleted LibreOffice and went back to MS Office. I'm debating whether to use WINE to run MS Office or try to switch to LibreOffice for the linux system I hope to build.

I still think the FSF should come up with a better name for FOSS, because it's inherently conflicting with a program simply having the source opened (editable or not) and being free of charge, and still not being compliant with the FSF guidelines for what they consider FOSS. And what most people will naturally think of when we say FOSS isn't what the FSF means.
Here's an idea: _Freedom and Privacy Respecting Software._ Isn't that what they mean?

Honestly in the 8 months I've used different versions of arch, my only problem has been manjaro. I've had pacman break where it can't update at all twice. I also had an unexplained crash that dropped me to a tty once. I just gave up on manjaro and used garuda for two weeks and went to vanilla arch because of the bloat on garuda. I've not broken vanilla arch even once

9:04 - I have termux. I've found it to be almost pointless. my problem with it is that it seems to really be boxed in, much closer to running a VM of linux rather than acutally being a terminal for the phone. The keyboard issue is interesting, but I have a BBKeyOne so I do have a physical keyboard on my phone, so no complaints there really.

i was using manjaro and suddenly the terminal stopped working i.e., i tried to open it but it didn't open. i restarted my system many times, and also reinstalled the terminal from the repository but still it wasn't working. i had to reinstall manjaro from scratch. any idea what had happened and any solution if the same arises in the future???

Hey DT, I-m on manjaro and run into software that the install script checks to see if I-m running Debian, Ubuntu, or RedHat like distros, and won-t install.
It isn-t in the AUR either
Are there any ways to fix that? Or just need to go through the script and do things manual?
It would be neat to have a apt or dnf emulation over pacman

I searched the BRAVE LICENSE while you were talking- and they DO show a license for BRAVE browser-- it's a PUBLIC license- that tells you what you can and can't do- and the only cant-do stuff is be covered for liability, etc.. typcial stuff-- but it SHOWS that you can adapt it, re-write it- whatever you like.

In terms of Android phones, you can-t go wrong with Google Pixel, they have the longest support period (3 years) besides the iPhone (5 years). And unlike Samsung, you can install GrapheneOS on it, which is a hardened AOSP OS, which only uses FOSS apps, doesn-t track and doesn-t even require a login.
