I use Lollypop and I love it. I would like it to have more information about the track being played. Which audio player do you recommend for Gnome that is in GTK4? Thanks
If you want technical support, of course you do. Just because a code is open source does not mean it should be free. Developers need to eat too.
Another issue is that there are distributions such as ZorinOS that charge money for the right to use a pro version, when in reality it is the same version that you can configure yourself and that ZorinOS belongs to a company, not a user community.
Hello. First, I would try to delete the oldest update snapshots using Snapper. Snapper should do this automatically based on a number, but I don't know why it isn't doing so in your case.

Indeed, I believe that the Fediverse is a paradise island where one can escape the noise created mainly by AI bots on centralised, proprietary social networks, but many users get a dopamine rush from eliciting an emotional response on the network, and that rush is provided by Reddit's algorithms.
I completely agree. To attract more users, you not only have to create higher quality content, but also content that elicits an emotional response from users, as they well know at Reddit.
On Reddit, it is bots that are constantly posting controversial topics. On Lemmy, fortunately, it is humans who can participate in more controversial discussions to attract more humans. For me, as a Linux and Firefox user, controversial discussions include comparisons between Windows vs Linux, Firefox vs Chrome, etc.
I always use and recommend hardened Firefox + Ublock. As a search engine, I use Qwant, which is based in the EU and uses its own search engine whenever possible rather than Google, Bing, etc.
And there is another reason not to recommend using Brave. Among its investors is Peter Thiel, the most controversial figure in the investment world. Search for Peter Thiel's controversial statements in your favourite search engine and you will see for yourself.
I think the best option is to use hardened Firefox + Ublock. Most forks are maintained by a very small community, sometimes even just one person. Managing the compatibility of custom security settings with new security patches can be problematic, so I would only trust forks that use Firefox ESR as the basis for their browser, i.e. projects such as Ironfox, for example.
And Debian? I don't understand how you can list Arch as one of the most stable distributions when, based on its update model, it doesn't seek stability but rather constant updating.
If you're referring to operational stability, in my opinion it's not on the same level as Debian, Leap, Ubuntu, or Fedora.
Stability is not synonymous with number of users.
Zorin OS is not an "honest" distribution when it monetises its premium configuration without mentioning that the programmes it uses are not proprietary to the distribution but are open-source programmes that have nothing to do with ZorinOS and can be obtained from any other Linux distribution.
The big problem with Peertube is that most content creators cannot monetise their videos and for that reason they do not use or report on Peertube. The most contradictory thing of all is that most "Linuxtubers" do not do so either, for the same reason.
It all depends on how much time and energy you have to configure and maintain your system. If you want a rolling distribution and don't have much time available, I would recommend Tumbleweed because it strikes a good balance between constant updates and operational stability, as it comes configured with snapper, a great tool for restoring the system in case of an update failure.
If you have more time available to manage your system, I would try Arch directly because I am not in favour of using distributions that do not have control over their own repositories.
I believe that the main reason for recommending Linux, in my opinion, is because it is open source code that can be audited.
And the second reason is so that the EU can have greater digital and technological sovereignty.
Manjaro is a great distribution that has had its share of controversies in the past, but in my opinion, it has something essential: control over its own repositories.
I would not use any derivative distribution that does not have control over its own repositories, nor would I ever use a rolling distribution that does not have a system recovery system configured by default in case of failure. Manjaro has control over its repositories and Timeshift configured and ready to use as soon as the system is installed.
If Tumbleweed did not exist, I would probably be using Manjaro.
