You can always use the Steam flatpak since Valve packages their Linux runtimes seperately within the client. I might be wrong, but flatpak should solve mismatched version/depedency hell.

You could also use declarative package managers like Nix or Guix to also avoid this same issue.

Don't worry, Linus Torvalds has also complained of the same thing when asked whats holding back the GNU desktop.

Anyway, KDE is better than gnome! Thanks for reading!

Based KDE enjoyer vs. Pog GNOME fan moment. Also, you're wrong but also right in so many ways.

You could just call the Free operating systems GNU/Linux or NonGNU/Linux.

"Vanilla linux" is vague terminology and distorts history.

Do not use browser based password managers as they're often not encrypted and are tied to that particular browser. Self host/use Bitwarden along with the web extension or KeyPassXC.

Since you're also getting a desktop PC I highly recommend sticking with just ethernet and not messing with wifi firmware/wifi cards. You should also skip bluetooth as well.

If you want to play proprietary windows freeware/drmware you always have Bottles, Proton, Lutris, GOG etc. If you are forced to use a VM gpu passthrough for a game, then that game is not worth playing because the developers don't care (why should you then?)

If you want an instant plethora of games you can always look into sophisticated emulators that allow you to insert shaders/upscale graphics rendering, always a good use of a powerful GPU to play retro games on a 8K resolution on vulkan.

Privacy and best practices are nearly universal across most user-obsessive distributions like Mint or Zorin and by extension most if not all distributions. Don't let anyone tell you that one distribution is more "private" than another.

Mint is simply just better than Zorin in everything that Zorin tries to do, perhaps if this was a year ago things would be different, but Zorin is just not as well maintained as Mint is.

If you like the look of Zorin, that's okay, most people do. But all desktop environments can be customized to your liking.

Use Mint instead, Zorin is not as well maintained or looked after like Mint.

I'm not familiar with warp+ but having used Mullvad VPN with most distributions I'd say to see if it supports OpenVPN or Wireguard configurations. That way you can talk directly to NetworkManager or the respective vpn program.

Perhaps Fedora does not have a unique package dependency that Ubuntu has since Fedora is heavily oriented toward systemD and selinux for most system tasks that may be handled by different packages on Ubuntu/Debian distributions. Warp+ may be designed in a way that only expects a ubuntu/debian derivative distro.

I'd try consulting cloudflare customer support for more guidance and to see if they can replicate the issue on their end.

There is a difference between "debate" and asking for an explanation. The explanations provided were faulty and came down to "it's just a joke bro." There was no debate here.

The debate demand is literally the title.

Besides being false, your claim has literally no basis unless you think every interaction between hexbears is a debate which is a very toxic idea. Confrontational: yes, debate: no.

And no, I just recognize that slinging shit on a niche internet forum isn't action in any sense of the word.

I also recognize that the safety and integrity of hexbears is something to be preserved. Hexbear has never appeased any other instance and it will never do so. Our personal ethics is more important than reactionary ideas.

The mods at sh.itjustworks don't care and haven't responded, which is what's the most pressing. Not if we hurt the feelings of liberals.
