But you do give it permission. The data is only shared when you either install or open an application. Both things that you need to initiate. Nothing in the law requires that the data be sent off device. Ideally all of this checking would happen on device. And for those apps that don’t meet that standard, don’t use them.

That is accurate and should absolutely be fought to the end. But the one that this “new” “distro” talks about is specifically the California one.

The law does not require giving the government any access to your system or even sending them any information. This is just false equivalency.

This just seems like an attempt to get sued to challenge the law.

Funny the amount of work that people are putting into such a nothing burger of a law.

Edit: also interesting to see the critical meltdown our community has over a law that doesn’t even require ID verification.

Edit 2: also I will be honest I did not read the entire home page. It is like 5 or 6 times longer than the law that it is complaining about.

I use Mac at work :). Most of my group uses Mac with a few using windows. There have been some people who have tried using fedora but the support for some enterprise apps is just not there. But I do get to manage around 100 RHEL systems. So I still get plenty of linux time at work.

This exactly. It feels like everything gets thrown in documents and then it just becomes one big mess. Game saves, coding projects. I’ve even seen some apps put their configs in Documents.

I wish more icon packs had these sort of additional icons.

I wish there were a few more default home directories like games and books. It would make me much more likely to use them overall.

You don’t need to install it to try it. Many distros will let you try the os while it is booted off of the usb. Ofc this doesn’t give you all the functionality and you won’t be able to save data. But you will at least see the performance is better.
