Xfce

I've daily driven every major DE except KDE (GNOME, Xfce, MATE, Cinnamon) and I always ended up switching back to xfce. I'm not a fan of GNOME's workflow and since it's not that customizable without extensions, that made me switch from it very quickly. I used Cinnamon on Mint for a few months and while the experience was mostly fine, it sometimes felt a bit laggy. As for MATE, while I love the GNOME 2 layout and it's a relatively lightweight DE, I encountered plenty of visual bugs there and I could very easily replicate that GNOME 2 layout on Xfce (without a system menu, but still).

Librewolf is hardened out of the box whereas with Firefox, you have to harden it yourslf

Why are you still using uMatrix in 2024? Wasn't it discontinued 3 years ago or smth?

A Xiaomi smartwatch. I never found any good use for its "smart" features and I had to charge the fucking thing all the time. So I ended up dropping it after a year in favor of a regular digital watch.

Because it is. And I say that as a Greek myself.

Greece has been ruled by corrupt politicians for pretty much its entire modern history. Rich people never get prosecuted for the crimes they commit, heath and education are severely underfunded with outdated equipment, badly maintained facilities and underpaid personnel, press freedom is deteriorating and governments push for neoliberal "reforms" like these.

Nowadays, pretty much yes. I more or less use the command line as much as I did on windows. Of course things like installing software via the repos is more efficient via the command line, but most GUI tools will work perfectly fine for most people.

Xonotic.

Great arena shooter all around even excluding the fact that's FOSS. Used to play it with a 2012 Intel i5 and HD 2500 integrated graphics on 1080p medium settings and was averaging around 80-90 FPS on default maps.

Now I don't know what kind of GPU do you have, but I bet that it would probably just fine on low settings and maybe at a lower resolution.

Another thing worth mentioning is that you may have trouble finding populated games with good ping if you live outside of Europe.

Of course the whole "encourage Putin to attack other European nations" thing is stupid in typical Trump fashon, but less american imperialism is always welcome.

For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn't want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in.
